We kick things off with a reading check, fondly reminisce about the 2020 lockdown, and deadass talk about David Lynch and Twin Peaks so you all better download this one.

We interrogate belly button beauty standards, break the news of Harper Lee's whiteness, make a call to arms against the tow truck industrial complex, and briefly review Torrey Peters' Stag Dance (well, one of us does.)

We discuss, answer, and bemoan questions people may or may not be deadass in asking over on r/Writing. Does it matter if a book is "good"? Will anyone notice if you copy Brandy Sandy's Son and change the proper nouns? Race?!

All about dating apps, Chobits, day care, and motorcycle dads.

The Trappers' friendships begin to strain as their sick and twisted edition of the newlyweds' game continues.

Will a bout of the newlyweds game spell divorce for the podcast?

We take a quiz to see who knows the most about classique werks of literature and the writers thereof. We learn the shocking truth about the pronunciation of the name "Fyodor." We didn't already done had enough of ourses, so Frey administers a sickening quiz all about RuPaul's Drag Race. Clock THAT tea. Bex learns that Furbies aren't feline in appearance. A Ru-girl died and Bri just heard...

We do NOT fall for all-over-body deodorant! We GO IN on Throb Zombie and drag kings everywhere! Bex SLAMS recent horror film Annabelle (2024)! Frey STANDS UP for the inclusion of minors in the yaoi otaku box! We CLAP BACK at therapists! Bex THROWS SHADE at the critics of Hilarious Baldwin! Bri and Frey CALL OUT broke writers!

We resume our discussion from last episode by noting how Paul G. Tremblay's The Cabin at the End of the World differs from its film adaptation. We also discuss the Southern Reach trilogy, problematique age gaps, our relationships with Scooby-Doo, and erotic My Hero Academia fanart.

We discuss the 2023 film Knock at the cabin, directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Is it a messy attempt at pro-gay sentiment or a stunningly blatant homophobic screed?

In which we discuss Webtoon, the MCU, and a specific Eminem stan account.

Bex recounts a formative TikTok fiasco and we lament a future in which everybody's queer and nobody's gay.

It's time to get literary. This week we discuss all the books we've read together as part of our book club: The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin, The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker, Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin, Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger, Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews, Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, and The Cipher by Kathe Koja.

This week we discuss our disturbing experiences in chat rooms.

We break our deafening silence on autism and self-diagnosis.

We don't have a soundboard but we do discuss sounding.
