The Great Obsession episodes:

November 05, 2024 NINTH HOUSE | 'tis i, the evil one!
Welcome to our October book club (SHHH we know it's November rn)! Leigh Bardugo's first venture into adult fantasy is quite jarring with its dark setting, unsettling rituals and bleak outlook on life... and we loved it. Mostly.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Violence, rape & sexual assault, murder, gore, drug addiction, death and suicide.

SPOILER WARNINGS: Spoiler discussion for Ninth House begins at (13:03). We do vaguely reference themes in Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows, Holly Jackson's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Tracy Deonn's Legendborn, but no actual spoilers for those books.

RATING: 6.75 / 10 (We forgot to do final ratings but we agreed on this afterwards.)

October 22, 2024 HEARTSTOPPER S3 | why are we like this? ft. Abby Tree
Our resident Heartstopper stan Abby Tree is back to talk with us about the newest season! We love that this show leans into the awkwardness of teenage experiences, and we wonder... do British teens really do party that much?

Content Warnings: We discuss the heavier themes depicted in this season, specifically the topics of disordered eating and depression.

Spoiler Warnings: This episode contains spoilers for all 3 seasons of Netflix's Heartstopper adaptation, as well as all of Alice Oseman's graphic novels through volume 5.

October 15, 2024 A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER TV SERIES | Ravi can get it!
BBC's adaptation of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder has given us more to talk about than expected! The calamity parties are actually entire raves, Max Hastings is wayyy too present, and there's a subplot about Pip's dad for some reason? We're breaking down it all down in today's review.

This episode contains spoilers for the TV adaptation of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, as well as Holly Jackson's book by the same name. We reviewed the book separately in THIS EPISODE.

September 24, 2024 UGLIES | the matrix for kids
