Spoil Me

Many thanks to Renee for commissioning this episode! I'm so psyched to be getting further into this season! This episode deals with the fallout from the bus crash, naturally, and people are asking all kinds of questions about what the deal was with the bus driver. Most people seem to think that he took his own life, but understandably his daughter finds it pretty hard to stomach that her father wa...

Many thanks to Anonymous for commissioning this episode of me and RoShawn covering Finding Forrester, a movie that both RoShawn and I did not expect to like as much as we did. And apologies for how long we took! This is a really interesting example of two people with such engrained expectations that when a film doesn't pursue certain cliches, we're almost baffled. Like, we're so certain it's going...

Many thanks to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! This is the episode in which everything truly hits the fan. Sonea and Akkarin get caught in the middle of her being taught black magic, or at the least the area in his house where she was being taught is discovered. And by the time they return to the house, she's just murdered someone using black magic. Soooooo I mean, this is about as bad as...

Thank you very much to Patrick for commissioning this episode! This episode is mostly about how Al Swearengen fucks up everyone's lives with his incredible greed and paranoia, and I'm sad to see that Alma is losing her husband, even if her husband is kind of beneath her in terms of intelligence and probably in terms of grace, too. He's been good and swindled, or at least it appears so, until Dorit...

Hey there everyone! I'm finally coming at you with the bananas premier of Season 2 of Veronica Mars, in which I'm blown away by the huge changes that have already taken place off cameras. Things are DIFFERENT, y'all! First of all, that conflict between Logan and Weevil went way left, and Logan woke up with a knife in his hand next to a man who'd been stabbed to death. By the time the season starts...

So this is the episode where Sonea makes the decision to do something that she never thought she would ever be able to justify, and that is practice black magic. I figured it was coming at this point, and the fact that Akkarin is showing her all about the conflict between Kyralia and Sechaka but doesn't expect her to want to step in feels a little disingenous to me. Like come on, dude, you know ho...

Hey there, friends! Rosalie has commissioned the first episode of Hexed since October, and I am super excited to be getting back into this world! Also I'm happy to say that Atticus handles himself very admirably in a situation that could have gone so so wrong, and I'm going to give him some points back on that. A few things happen in these chapters, but one of the most important is Brighid proposi...

Many thanks to Patrick for commissioning this episode of Deadwood! I'm really enjoying this show a lot and it's been desperately hard to shut things off and wait to record on it and not watch the next one. This show is gritty in the best, least pretentious sense of the word, and I'm all about it. This episode deals with the unexpected (at least for me) fallout after a man is summarily executed in...

Y'all, this fuckin finale was so loaded that there's live video of me hiding under a blanket, bugging out as Veronica screams from inside a burning refrigerator. And then live video of me SCREAMING at the TV as her mother takes a motherfucking check for $50,000. I kinda lost my shit a little bit. You can watch both of those in the video here: https://www.facebook.com/UnspoiledPod/videos/2874598754...

Oh boy, kids, things are really starting to heat up in this here Guild. Sonea is starting to realize that there's a whole wide world out there that she never knew about, with conflicts that go way back and magic that goes back even farther. Turns out that black magic has been used for many things that aren't necessarily bad, but that the potential for abuse is certainly very real and can spin wild...

I am really excited to be starting a whole new TV series for Spoil Me! because so far the only one I've been doing is Veronica Mars, so everyone say thanks to Patrick for commissioning practically the whole first season of Deadwood! This show is really gripping so far, and I have been experiencing one of the most acute cases of "BUT I WANNA WATCH THE NEXT ONE NOW!" that I've had since Hannibal. Th...

Many thanks to Patricia for commissioning the next chapters of The Dark Lord Of Derkholm! These chapters are CRAZYTOWN BANANAPANTS. First of all I would like to register my smugness that Kit is in fact alive, but that smugness is somewhat mitigated by the revelation that there's a fucking underground gladiator ring running in this world, and Blade was about to be fucking killed! This is really som...

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning the very next book of The Black Magician Trilogy so that I could jump right into it without having to wait! This book is so full of surprises and it's going in a direction I never expected! Join me as Sonea makes some shocking discoveries and begins to wonder if she's had it all wrong this whole time. I hope you will all read along with me!

Many thanks to Devin for commissioning this episode! Nothing went the way that I expected, and I mean that from the bottom of my soul. I wouldn't even have said that I had complete confidence Nita was going to get out of it, and although I'm pretty sure that the remaining books in the series all feature her and Kit still... who knows? I don't, not for sure. This is a pretty tough episode because m...

Shoutout to Ashleigh for sponsoring this episode of The Novice, which wraps up the second book in a very satisfying manner while still leaving me wanting more. I'm low-key blown away by how powerful Sonea is, even after people are talking about it. But she's in this battle against Regin, barely breaking a sweat, and by the end she almost breaks completely through the inner shield that his guardian...

Thank you so much to Patricia for commissioning this live-read! Wow, where to start with what happened in this episode? Don't read any farther if you don't want to get spoiled, and you prefer to listen to me read you the book! First we have Blade getting whisked away to who knows where and nobody can find him, we've got more cities turning up empty, and then we've got Kit getting shot out of the s...

Wow, so there's a lot going on this episode, huh? Many thanks to Agnes and Nancy for commissioning a Voyeur-level episode, so that everyone got to hang out with me while I watched it. There were a lot of twists and turns in this one, and I can't believe that it turns out that Veronica was drugged BY ACCIDENT and then had seemingly consensual sex with DUNCAN. And he remembers everything but thought...

It's time for another romp in the magical universe where griffins and children can be brother and sisters, people from our world can be trucked in as tourists, and gods will appear at random. This section is the one where Blade is dealing with his pilgrim party, and they all seem like The Worst. It's super funny to me how repulsed he is by the girl coming onto him all the time, and thank goodness...

Many thanks to the patient and stoic D'Nique for commissioning this entire damn book on her own (with some help from Denise!) and I hope that she's enjoyed the coverage. This book ends on a combination sad/hopeful note, with the farm being in shambles and the people either dead or fled, but the crew deciding to try stay put and try to make it work. I think they made the right choice, and I'm very...

Hey there my lovelies! This is the second half of my live-read of Chapter One, and our old friend Dandelion is back and almost gets himself killed before an old friend comes and saves his ass. I'm so curious what's going on with this! I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome! If you haven't read this book but you're looking for something to entertain you for the next hour and change, please check out this episode! Melanie commissioned a live-read, and there will be another following shortly after with the second half of this chapter. I tried to do this justice, although there are names and words that it's tough to wrap my tongue around. This is a really fun bo...

Alright so things are starting to get real serious in this book, and it's all turning a corner that I never expected. The obelisks are more significant, but in a different way, than I had first imagined and apparently the fact that Syenite could control one is worrying enough that she needs to die. Also, there's some revelations on how Guardians work which I never guessed, and there's a secret com...

I am so excited to finally read more of Saga, even though the horror of some of these illustrations will haunt me until the end of my days. In some ways it was all worth it to see The Will crush a pedophile pimp's head between his hands. However, it does suck that the little girl he tried to save is still trapped and I want him to focus on that instead of revenge for The Stalk. ALSO! TREE ROCKETSH...

In this episode, I'm shocked that this whole section is only covering one chapter. There's a lot of emotion happening here, as poor Nita tries to come to terms with the fact that she's going to die, and her parents struggle with the enormous revelations that she and Kit dumped on them. While on THE SURFACE OF THE FUCKING MOON.
