Tune in to hear sickening secrets about the publishing industry, plus what I learned from being one degree separated from Stephenie Meyer.

At long last, Maggie and Nico discuss the billion-dollar Twilight fanfic FIFTY SHADES OF GREY. Stick around till the end to hear our thoughts on the potential Renesme-Jacob spin-off series, plus some bonus Twilight content.
LATERS, BABY!!
Welcome to the inner workings of the mind of Edward Anthony Mason Cullen.
Maggie and Nico are here to probe every nook & cranny of this long-awaited tome, excessively dwelling on the scientific implications of mind-reading, whether love can conquer all in dysfunctional relationships, whether Edward really is an irredeemable creep, and so much more.
CORRECTION: Maggie refers to Edward and Carlisle as “East coast elites.” In fact Carlisle is British, and Edward is from Chicago.
Tons to discuss in the Twilight saga's bizarre denoument. Nico explains how the visible light spectrum could differ between humans and vampires. We delve further into the Cullens' relationship dynamics, and Maggie explores how Twilight is ~actually~ an allegory for queerness. Plus, Nico finally, totally, completely loses his shit in a way no one (or everyone?) could have predicted.
"I've never been more emotionally effected by a book in my life."
Eclipse is both the best and the worst book in the Twilight Saga. It's the emotional climax of the series, and also the most problematic. We talk about all the reasons why, and do a deep-dive into the real life Quileute legends and how Stephenie Meyer's version stacks up. PLUS Maggie makes her final ruling in the Team Edward vs. Jacob debate (Nico continues to despise Edward).
This is a fascinating conversation with author Lindsay Eagar about the Mormon influences in The Twilight Saga. We dive deep into the Mormon belief system, sex, virginity, gender roles, and how Mormonism can explain why Twilight is SUCH A WEIRD STORY. Lindsay shares so many incredible insights into this religion that clearly shaped Stephenie Meyer's brain. Be sure to stick around till the end, where Lindsay gives some profound insights into the vulnerability and superpowers of motherhood.
It's been an whole year since Maggie's legendary 2018 breakup, and the Creeps are back for a little wellness check and a very special holiday recap of Dawson's Creek Christmas (season 4 episode 9, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang)! Deck the halls with boughs of teen angst, creek freaks!
Dawson and Joey both get their first kiss--- but will it be withEACH OTHER?? Join us as we deconstruct this rich and bizarreepisode involving yet another insane gambit of Dawson’s to controlJen's existence. Plus we finally give the Pacey storyline someserious examination.
