After Rapture Party

Here's hoping that the title Busted! only refers to Vicki's stint in juvie and not... anything else. While Erin & Tori guide each other through Book 7's frequent rapture lore dumps in between musical interludes and Houdini facts, the Young Tribulation Force fails to fly under the radar which draws the attention of everyone's favorite roid-raging P.E. teacher, Coach Handlesman. Seriously, has anyone checked his T levels? Confessions this week range from harmless (who kicked down a door in self-defense?) to wild (who stole some cursed sunglasses they found on the sidewalk?).

Another day, another post-rapture sting operation (but this time, it's in the form of a psychological experiment). Erin, Tori, and new doggy sidekick Phoenix dig into why trailer park trash Shelly is going to hell, Bruce's eternal disappointment in his chosen teens, and Judd's inability to let women live their lives. Reviewers this week include one very lucky soul who skipped books 1-5 and will probably not be continuing on this excruciating journey with us.

Extra, extra, read all about it: Judd wants YOU to know that the Underground (book title mention!) secret school newspaper was allllll his idea. The start of Book 6 brings forth illicit teacher pick-ups, staying up until 5am to create fonts, and verbal abuse from Pastor Bruce (what's new?). There's also some good ol' Catholic and Jewish shaming with which we're growing extremely familiar. Erin & Tori question God's love for them on account of this week's brutal confessions — which of the pair cheated to secure their college diploma, and who penned a blog post threatening to murder their bullies? We hope Jesus's love is truly unconditional.

Even though they're absolutely, no question, 100% on God's side, Erin & Tori cover all of the sick atheist disses the students bring back to Nicolae High one month post-rapture. Judd and Vicki battle their way through a very realistic portrayal of religious oppression from school admin, who are moonlighting as literal Disney villains. Lionel and Ryan are nowhere to be found! To round out Book 5, Erin pulls some choice reviews that are, unfortunately, glowing.

Get your spirit sticks ready: the Young Trib Force is going back to school! Or rather, Tori & Erin discuss how annoying it is to constantly ruminate on the concept of school without actually going there in Part 1 of Nicolae High. Remember how we used to get semi trucks on the highway to honk their horns for funsies? That tactic actively works against Vicki as she's chased down by the consequences of her own actions (as well as her daddy/boyfriend/brother in Christ, Judd). In the confessions department, Erin literally weeps over a past nature transgression while Tori could not be any less serious waxing poetic on her Club Penguin membership (thanks, Mom).

It's Hell Mail numero dos (that means 2), in which scarred After Rapture Party listeners write into the show with wild church stories of their own! Anonymous emailers tell all: a sales-y poolside chat from an employee of Jesus's MLM, a long-forgotten church girl who loves to lie on Facebook, the world's shoddiest purity talk, and a very special update regarding last installment's ashes-turned-bomb-threat. Erin lays out the best metaphor for God from Young Life, Tori wonders how she didn't get a disease from going barefoot at school, and there's some light yodeling.

Spraining your wrist on a jet ski is a lot like putting your faith in Pastor Bruce Barnes: you're only gonna take an L in the end. The Kid/Junior/Young Tribulation Force (they're still workshopping the name) test Erin & Tori's patience as they doubt Carpathia's identity as the Antichrist because he's a total hottie. Speaking of hotties, Tori reminisces on the Bible teacher that had all the teen girls in a chokehold with his life-changing lessons on predestination vs. free will. Celebrating finishing 10% of the series, Erin & Tori toot to a variety of absurd things, including but not limited to: hot lady lawyers.

Antichrist whomst? Forget about that guy: Facing the Future is all about our teens nabbing the real criminals who are hellbent on committing insurance fraud. Erin & Tori read on in abject horror as a gaggle of "good cops" let Judd & Vicki gamble their odds of surviving a sting operation (and take them to Waffle House afterwards). Confessions this week include two very different experiences with Steve Jobs' most revolutionary invention, the iPod Touch.

Check and mate, authors: Tori & Erin discover in finishing Through the Flames that they technically can re-write these books to fit their hearts' desires based on a spiffy little thing called fair use. That's how they'd actually prefer to spend their time, considering the latter half of Book 3 mostly features Judd and Lionel donning their best Jason Bourne impressions while Vicki fends off accusations that Judd is her boyfriend (he is NOT!). Amazon user Concerned Parent leaves us gobsmacked with a review so poignant, it almost turned your hosts into conservatives.

Resuming their 40-book journey with a newfound vigor, Erin & Tori curb their thirsting over the (blond, Romanian) Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia as he wins Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan to his cause by reciting every country on Earth in alphabetical order. Also, are we positive the Antichrist isn't actually Pastor Bruce Barnes? This week's confessions theme is: moments so mortifying that your hosts are forced to replay them nightly on a projection behind their eyeballs.
