Hey listeners! It's been one hell of a year. To wrap up the past year we decided to go back and reminisce, laugh, and discuss some of our favorite things about the last three seasons - Zodiac Academy, the Empyrean Series, and Twilight!

We air our grievances and relive the mess that was our 2025 era. We're talking funny editing and behind the scenes stories, favorite moments and iconic characters, alleged gaslighting, and Brittany's aggressive Stray Kids fixation. Not to mention the drunken Twilight movie commentary episode that will absolutely stay locked in the vault...like forever.

It's unfiltered, unhinged, and totally us.

We are so grateful for how far we’ve come and how much support you’ve shown the podcast. We’d also love to hear anyone’s favorite moments from the past year, and we hope that you will continue to tune in as we dive into a whole new series.

Looking forward to spending 2026 with you guys! What do you want to see from us in the coming year? What book series should we cover next? Any bonus content you'd like? We'd love to hear from you.

Sorry, everyone again. Mistake in the upload. It's been fixed to the current episode.

Welcome back readers! In the Breaking Dawn finale, everyone is bracing for war. The Volturi show up...and after four books of buildup, the series ends with a staring contest and some frustrating blue balls. It's all talk and no bite.

From the Volturi's dramatic entrance to the standoff that went absolutely nowhere, we're unpacking the most aggressively anticlimactic battle to ever not happen. It's an oddly wholesome yet extremely boring ending with lots of happily-ever-after vibes but no closure.

We dive into what it all means for Bella, Edward, Renesmee, Jacob, and the saga as a whole and share our honest reactions to these final...maybe...moments with these controversial characters.

We hope this episode helps you ring in the New Year with a laugh~ We finish the Twilight series with some laughs about the absolute ridiculousness of the last few chapters, from fart cloud sensory gifts to very seriously discussing the mechanics behind vampire tracking.

What did you think of that ending? Were you satisfied? Or did you think that the series ended not with a bang but a sadly disrespectful whimper? Join us for the (lack of) the last fight as we say farewell (and somewhat good riddance) to this nostalgic read and let us know your thoughts!

Hey readers! This week’s episode is the beginning of the end - after Irina tattles on the Cullens about their sudden acquisition of a vampire child, chaos breaks loose. Alice’s disappearance sends waves through the family and the wolves as the rest of the Cullens start to prepare for the arrival of the Volturi.

The only solution? Other vamps ofc! Possibly the best part of Breaking Dawn is getting to meet all the different vamps willing to come to Carlisle’s aid. Plus, Bella gets to play sneaky games on the side as Alice leaves her clues on what to do.

Join us this week and let us know your thoughts!
