Our very first stand-alone episode! We have the absolute pleasure to speak with TOO SCARY; DIDN’T WATCH’s own podcast host extraordinaire (and close personal friend) Henley Cox to discuss a (Hugo Award winning) hopeful book in a hopeless climate, cozy fantasy, solarpunk, and everything in between – including the nuts and bolts that put Ratlantis together and housed thirty six baby rats in a one hundred square foot room. Brew a cup of herbal tea, crack the windows to let in the cricket song, and open your hearts and minds to Dex and Mosscap, a monk and a robot whose discourse on purpose, connection, and nature might remind you that sometimes, just existing is enough.
City boy Jacob dies hugging a tree as he details Idina Menzel’s tree-climbing aerial choreography, William’s so scared by the latest Grady Hendrix novel that he forgets how to count, and we finally recount the ending of Brandon Sanderson’s MISTBORN book one! In this final section, Vin attends her last party ever, Shan Elariel tries to murder her ex-boyfriend, the Lord Ruler gives us a tour of his man cave, and then Kelsier gets bitch slapped so hard half his face flies off.
It’s time for MISTBORN PART 3, in which Sazed reveals that his earrings are more than just fabulous accessories, Spook teaches Vin the hanky code, our resident circuit queen “Lady Valette” does the Cotton-Eyed Joe, Elend reveals he is just like all the other guys, and we meet our latest obsession, Shan Elariel, the Queen B*tch of the of Luthadellian Ball circuit.
Before we begin, Jacob receives some devastating news about Idina Menzel’s REDWOOD: The Musical and William is forced to read a book for little children (Philip Reeve’s LARKLIGHT, natch) as his resentment towards Jacob builds. And then onto MISTBORN PART 2, in which Vin gets a new haircut and goes to her first party, hot twink and total bookworm Elend Venture gets flirty with “Lady Valette”, and Kelsier commits gross parental negligence when his willy-nilly mission goes topsy-turvy real fast.
A little lore goes a long way when Jacob and William reveal some of their tragicomic backstory and shared herstory. And then in MISTBORN PROLOGUE and PART 1, William spills the tea on all things Brandon Sanderson, Jacob gets his Cosmere v-card swiped, Kelsier does hot guy shit, and Vin trauma dumps all over the place.
Hosts William and Jacob depart on an epic quest to read, discuss, and ROFL through the best in fantasy and science fiction books.
Tune in February 4th as they dive into the prologue and Part 1 of Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.
