Midlight Crisis

Episode 144 dies in your arms and totally radicalizes you! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss their ecological beef with Suzanne Collins, bread, and how many Taylor Swift songs you can mention in a single episode of a podcast

An apple falls, and Chapter 143 blasts apart! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss how hearing works, R-rated fantasy adaptations, and bottomless PMS hunger.

Inside you there are two wolves. One is reading the Hunger Games and the other one is listening to Chapter 142. Both of them want you to join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss Katniss and Rue’s friendship, goose propaganda, and how to confidently kill a buffalo.

We somehow managed to invoke Ryan Gosling twice in Chapter 141, neither time in a plot-relevant way, so please enjoy. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss inflatable bird t*tties, eating honeysuckle, and wasps, again.

Chapter 140 arrives in a tiny parachute, because it’s a gift from our sponsors! Just kidding, we don’t have sponsors. But Katniss does, so that’s nice. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss wasps, wasps, and… wasps.

Get your bets on Chapter 139 in now before it gets shot a crossbow! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss gambling on fixed games, what constitutes a medium-sized tree, and where you might find a skunk.

Hurry and listen to Chapter 138 before a hovercraft comes to take its, um, corpse away! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the number of dees in a chickadee call, drinking blood (but not in a vampire way), and whether or not you should ask your sponsor for popcorn.

Don’t step off your pedestal until you’re ready to listen to Chapter 137, or you’ll be blown up!! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss various cornucopiae, several distinct water-related topics, and the potential meanings of cannonfire.

Chapter 136 is waiting on the roof for one last night of freedom. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss sassy book Peeta, the Let Go Threshold, and get a little too involved nerding out over implantable trackers.

Strap on your heels and practice your fake smiles, and join Chapter 135 on the interview stage! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss healing workplace injuries as an adult, the horrifying canonical timeline for the first Hunger Games, and the best discontinued recipes of Newfoundland eateries.

Cue up your podcatcher and dunk your porkchop in your wine, because it’s time for Chapter 134! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss reality TV producer mentality, edible plants (for the biology), and get way too deep into the environmental regulations of Panem.

Well, folks, 2025 was a ride, wasn't it? Did anyone else have a full-blown Crisis, or was that just us? Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they reminisce over their 2025 Year In Books, including getting called out by their most read authors, nominating their annual superlatives, and accidentally inflating each others' TBRs.

Chapter 133 is coming to you with protein bars stuffed into all its pockets! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss why the Capitol is actually hell (facetious and sincere), how Katniss and Haymitch actually screwed up the iconic training scene, and tread extremely close to the line talking about how the Hunger Games is basically reality TV.

Chapter 132 is here and you're pretty sure you recognize it, except you don't because that's a crime! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the next big Capitol beauty gadgets that might also kill you instantly, goose liver classism, and, unfortunately, tongue stuff.

Jingle your bells, Hall your -mark, and get ready for the dystopia edition of Midlight Christmas! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they gender-swap a Russian folk tale, persistently try to avoid monsterf*cking, and kind of forget the entire plot (oops).   Get ready for... Jingle Ballet!

Chapter 131 is finally getting hot! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they argue over what latte means (again, because Hannah won't let it go), discuss why both Hunger Games tributes and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron have eyebrows, and rant about walkable cities and public transport for rich people.

Chapter 130 is feeling a little claustrophobic on this train, how about you? Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they trauma-dump about bullying, discuss dandelions on multiple separate occasions, and nearly end their friendship over Sophie's accidental Star Wars reference.

Chapter 129 isn't sponsored by Hellmann's mayonnaise, but good lord it should be. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss Sophie's ardent love for baths, the incredible power of secondhand embarrassment, and do some unnecessary train math.

Chapter 128 volunteers as tribute! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the District culture, Capitol propaganda, and the iconic three-finger salute.

It’s Reaping Day in Chapter 127, may the odds be ever in its favour. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the bow and arrow fantasy girl, post-apocalypse North American fauna (domestic, feral, and wild, oh my!), and reveal which one of them has actually participated in a real life Hunger Games LARP.

Chapter 126 roars in with an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, and a civil war, because we’re talking about YA dystopia this time, folks! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they reflect on their feelings about Suzanne Collins’ blockbuster Hunger Games series, complain about love triangles (again, but now with symbolism!), and discuss the quality of book-to-movie adaptations.

Chapter 125 has a job and is from a place for the last time, because this is our final City of Bones episode! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss Downworlder biology, almost immediately break their promise not to talk about dicks THIS time, and finally announce what new book Midlight Crisis will be reading next!

Grab your stele and get ready to take some notes, because chapter 124 is the City of Bones biology episode! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss how to attract a hip young crew to your church, forbidden Shadowhunter love, and how many jaws demons have (and which ones they use to smooch). 

Chapter 123 is the City of Bones wrap-up episode! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss how they feel about the book now that it’s finished, discover which one of them speed-read through the rest of the trilogy and also the movie and TV show MovieClips in the last two weeks, and figure out what secret third thing Jace is, finally.

Chapter 122 is here to ask you - What Would Jonathan Christ Do? Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss plot happening offscreen, how sleep and/or lack of romantic competition makes everyone nicer, and debate the existence of The Wand.
