January 13, 2026 Episode 50: Can I Speak to the Manager of the Simulation?
Episode 50 marks our return with existential dread, AI jokes, and an urgent request to speak to the manager of the simulation. We rant, ramble, and eventually settle into a spoiler-filled discussion of Frankenstein, questioning monsters, creators, and whether Guillermo del Toro went too far...or not far enough?

Content warnings: discussions of death, violence, trauma, and existential themes.
Spoiler warning: this episode contains full spoilers for Frankenstein (2025).

December 30, 2025 Episode 49: 2025 - A Year That Definitely Happened
Out of all the years that have ever existed, 2025 was absolutely one of them.

In this very loose end-of-year retrospective, we look back on the things we loved, the things we didn't and the things that we absolutely did not plan for.

November 18, 2025 Episode 48: Staring at Cthulhu Like an Idiot
We dive into millennial chaos, QR-code culture, and the bold internet heroes who think they could stare at Cthulhu without going insane. Plus, book talk, horror tangents, and a chaotic game where we guess classic opening lines horribly mangled by Google Translate.

November 04, 2025 Episode 47: In Defense of Skipping the Poems in Tolkien
This week, we prove once again that we are—indeed—not helpful.

Join Eloise, Brayton, and Julian as we spiral from Queensland hailstorms and zombie movies into a full-scale literary meltdown. What starts as a casual chat about Supanova and Jean-Claude Van Damme somehow becomes an unhinged debate about Lord of the Rings, Gone Girl, and why Hamlet should probably just get on with it already.
