Midlight Crisis

Chapter 106 is Still Not King. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss werewolf name determinism, whether it's cool to play Dungeons and Dragons, and secrets learned through Scooby Doo-esque hijinks.

Chapter 105 knows what bergamot is, thank you very much! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the ideal frequency for eating cucumbers, sexy vampires (again, for some reason, free us) and the magic of hybridization.

Chapter 104 is here, and like Clary, it slaps! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss if being not like the other girls makes you just like the other girls, biblically accurate radio, and angel swords.

Don't sleep through Chapter 103, there is important exposition here! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss teenage dreams (the sexy ones), the Angel Suffering Table, and how to baptize a Shadowhunter. 

Don't look a gift Chapter 102 in the dark, yawning gap of its mouth! Instead, join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the stinging and smoochin' physiology of demons, how to make your cellphone holy, and a surprising connection with our previous reads.

Chapter 101 is heavily caffeinated at 10 pm, snaps for that. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss what The Youths get up to, Hannah's terrible knock-knock jokes, and the Shadowhunters' Magic Eye invisibility powers.

*According to Midlight Crisis   Chapter 100 is a big milestone, y'all! We're celebrating with a special episode, wherein we discuss our collective favourite and least favourite books, discuss the Book Two Bitch/Bisexual, and almost ruin our long-running friendship over book opinions.

Chapter 99 is sending you to a farm upstate, where you can exposition all day long! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss gentle parenting your endangered magical teen, cat warlock eye genetics, and ska bands.

Chapter 98 is sneaking into your all-ages club to incite the fall of humankind! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss dimension-hopping viruses, the benefits and drawbacks of pharyngeal jaws, and reveal just how encyclopedic Sam's knowledge of this book is.

Grab your instruments, because Chapter 97 is mortal! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they prepare to speedrun like, so many fantastical creatures, reveal Sam's high school Shadowhunters clout, discuss the benefits of medium stakes, and enter... the City of Bones!

Chapter 96 is an unexpected unexpected part two, because we biologized the hell out of this book! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they continue to have a surprising number of opinions about birdkids and Erasers. Tune in for answers to the questions you never knew you wanted to ask, like: If the birdkids are 2% bird, who (or what?) is 2% human? Which birdkid has a superpower that is never mentioned...

Is it a bird? Is it a kid? Is it another gosh damn hexapod? No, it’s Chapter 95! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they finally, DEFINITIVELY reveal just how the Maximum Ride is made, if birdkids really DO fly in the fetal position, and, most importantly: how did we manage to talk about this dingdang book for so long that we had to make it a duology… in Chapter 95: Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment...

Chapter 94 is the wrap-up episode, and the Voice in your head… or is it?! I guess we’ll never know… OR WILL WE?! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah in a retrospective of Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment as they share final thoughts and feelings, spoil the absolutely unhinged trajectory of the rest of the series, and reveal egg canon from an unexpected place.

Chapter 93 flies off around sixish, to Washington, DC, of course! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the Gasman's government name, illegal science numerology, and the importance of bringing any injured birdkids you find in your backyard to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

Chapter 92 is slipping and sliding its way into your podcatcher. If only there was some carpet... for traction... Anyway, join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss if your dog should be an Eraser, contemplate sturddlefish mistakes, and do NOT give you first aid advice

Chapter 91 is rubbing its sewer feet aaaaall over your lab carpeting! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss first-class lab equipment (unspecified), desperately try not to disparage their employers and/or academic institutions, and once again get stuck trying to make funny content about children being locked in cages for bad science.

Chapter 90 is Dissociating! In the Sewer. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss what language rats speak, how to do sea anemone enrichment, and Seventies Sex Cabin carpeting (tm).

Chapter 89 is here to remind you that you probably haven't fed your Neopet in 20 years, you should probably get on that. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they confidently and incorrectly discuss the timelines of technology development, besmirch the Erasers' strategy, and ask the age-old question: Are there vampires in the Old Testament?

Chapter 88 hopes this email finds you well and hopes to circle back to identify opportunities for synergies. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss various permutations of body hair, the evilness of an average six-year-old, and increasingly improbable methods of breathing underwater.

Chapter 87 is the beach episode! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss epic 2005 makeovers, the Millennial urge to become a marine biologist, and the potentially fraught physiology of SCUBA diving with hollow bones.

Chapter 86 keeps showing up, like a bad penny! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss how many ways you can fold a birdkid, Eraser statistical models, and just, like, a lot of physics that they don't really understand.

Today's episode isn't just a chapter, it's a whole dang synopsis! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they indulgently reminisce about 2023 (books), gush about this cool new author that you probably haven't heard of (Brandon Sanderson), and shockingly reveal who has a book problem (everyone).

Chapter 85 is Oops! All tangents! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss rich people's librarians, hangry hunter-gatherers, and regrettably, James Patterson's '69 (again).

Chapter 84 is gonna take you to church! Actually, it's a cathedral. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss sanctuary laws, failed adaptations, and the James Patterson '69.
