    Animorphs 43-47: A Tale of Three Vissers
    Jun 29 2026

    We're back on that Animorphs grind, this time covering The Test, The Unexpected, The Revelation, The Deception, and The Resistance. And guys, these books that are meant for children are getting DEEP into what constitutes a war crime, what it means to sacrifice a loved one for the greater good, and how cool it would be to be a kangaroo.

  • Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

    Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
    Jun 15 2026

    It doesn't get much zeitgeist-ier than this episode's book, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, a non-political (press f to doubt) hard sci-fi about overcoming your own pathetic cowardice and saving the universe all by yourself except with ten thousand other people and also an alien. Also it's REALLY HOT, but our hosts only complain about it a little bit, I swear.

  • Ol' Sarah Could Really Use A Win (a mid-year TBR check-in)

    Ol' Sarah Could Really Use A Win (a mid-year TBR check-in)
    Jun 1 2026

    This week, Sarah and Cyrus take a look at back at their lofty goals for 2026 and see how far along they're getting in their TBR piles - as expected, it quickly devolves into a competition, as these things often to. Come and hang out with us as we go over the books our intrepid readers have loved and hated so far this year, with a sidebar into abusing the cat and contemplating whether or not it's time to use the Desk Gun.
