This week, Deidre and Gillian dive into The Assassin’s Blade, the prequel novella collection of Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series. While the girls wrestle with their new mics (one of them is clearly losing the battle) they also tackle far more pressing topics—like the cultural legacies of Diane Keaton and D’Angelo. Along the way, they reminisce about the pixelated glory of early-2000s digital cameras before Deidre drops the ultimate life advice: log off and touch grass. The episode wraps up with a highly scientific round of MASH.

This week, Deidre and Gillian welcome back fan favorite Mikey for a deep dive into Heir of Fire, the third book in Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series. Together, they swap high school stories, scheme up questionable Halloween costumes, and revisit Mikey’s ill-fated attempt at sourdough. They also tackle the impossible—casting book boyfriends—and quickly realize some roles are simply unfillable (looking at you, Rhysand). Finally, they send Mikey into his dream future the only way millennials know how: by dusting off a gel pen and playing the 90s classic, MASH.

This week, Deidre and Gillian dive into Crown of Midnight, the second book in Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series. Along the way, Gillian recaps her family trip to Cape Cod, while Deidre shares about embarking on the elusive millennial side quest: homeownership. They also chat about the unsettling prospect of developing parasocial relationships with AI (eek!) and admit we’d all secretly prefer a bot that shames us instead of validates us. The episode wraps with a brand-new game, Who the Fuck Is This?, where Gillian tries to recall all the obscure side characters from the book.
