Episode 203: An Ugly Boy Who Can Do It All
We're back with book 10, babes! The first half of the prologue is all about Mat's Pilgrim Hat, Covert Art Cocaine, Ituralde Causing the Feminism to Leave Our Bodies, and Mazrim Taim's Very Special Classes for Very Special Boys.
Episode 204: Poverty-Stricken in Cheese Town
While covering the rest of the prologue, how many times do you think we say "What's frustrating about Gawyn is ..."? (Hint: It's a lot.) We also discuss Gawyn's Sexual Mind Palace, Flat Earther Gawyn, JFK's Famous Saying About Cults, and Angst de Vivre.
Episode 205: Wiener Dog Cafe
In ch. 1-2, we're on a downhill slope into RJ's pro-Seanchan agenda. More cheerful discussion topics include: Boyz in the Tentz, Valan Luca's Disguise Chest, Forgotten Subplots, Thom the Monarch Serial Killer, and Noal's Fishcapades.
Episode 206: Rate Us on Yelp
This episode is about ten minutes of ch. 3-4 coverage and 30 minutes of tangents, including: Stupid Men Sexy, Tybalt's Barf Bag Fiasco, Naming Appliances, and How Not to Fall for Copaganda. Enjoy.
Episode 207: It’s Homer with a Steel Chair!
What else would we talk about for 30 minutes while covering ch. 5-6 than whether Aram is in love with Perrin? (Probably not.) Other topics include: Hospital Swag Bag, Literary Cage Match, and Roy Mustang: A Feminist??
Episode 208: Airing of Grievances
Just brace yourself, because our discussion of ch. 7-8 is mostly (justified) complaining. We talk about Masuri Winchester, Nice Teacher Supremacy, how Naruto Did It Better, and how Grady and Neald Should Unionize.
Episode 209: Everything Is Still Bad and Awful
Head's up: Chapter 9 deals with a lot of troubling content, including sexual assault, consent in captivity, and even racism, and that's pretty much all we talk about in this episode. Skip it as needed for your mental well-being.
Episode 210: Keep 'Em Guessing
In this short episode, we devote about eight minutes to ch. 10-11 (they're boring) and the other twenty to RJ's Plot Gymnastics, Gojo Trigger Warning, a Forgotten D.A.R.E. Song, and how Ed is a Time-Traveling Warlock.
Episode 211: A Caucasian Blob
Ah, the infamous eight-page bath. For ch. 12-13 we talk about Brandon Sanderson's Game of Thrones, Bad Genes/Jeans, Hers and Hers Bathtubs, More Sea Folk Racism, and Gender Moments with Robert Jordan.
Episode 212: Birds or Death
Ch. 14-15 continue the trend in EHR's twilight years: It's All Bad. We talk about Class Warfare in Caemlyn, the Least Dangerous Game (women), Inconvenient Bodies, and finally say goodbye to the Day That God Forgot.
Episode 213: Hate to Agree with Gareth Bryne
We really, really do. Ch. 16-17 are all about Egg, who we haven't talked about in a while! We discuss her Intellectual Theft, Manufactured Incompetence, Delana (Whomst We Hate), and how maybe Egg should just ... Let Siuan Do Murder.
Episode 214: Chess with LeBron James
We kick off this episode with some signature EHR Anti-Monarchial Vitriol, then actually talk about ch. 18-19, with discussions about Lore as Gate-Keeping, The Dangers of Feminism, Olver's Pony Express, and Vulture Culture.
Episode 215: Barf Phase
Chapters 20-22 have some prime examples of Robert Jordan's worst writing, including the torture of women, transphobia, and a whole lot of miscommunication. Plus his favorite way to characterize bad guys: as incompetent middle managers.
Episode 216: Queue Fast Queue Furious
We're back with Rand in ch. 23-24, and as usual he's making bad decisions. We talk about Matchmaking, It 2: The Queue, World Conquering To-Do Lists, Diplomatic Ouchies, and the Late Late Night Show with Mazrim Taim.
Episode 217: Hey, Ear Guy?
We're headed into the crevasse: ch. 25-27. We talk about Neald's Showmanship, Upsetting Setting, Moralizing Bad Hygiene, All Shoulder Devils, Terminal Uniqueness, and Tallanvor's Emotional Journey Beard.
Episode 218: Beeping Up with the Basheres
The crevasse just gets deeper in ch. 28-29, straight to hell. We talk about Robert Jordan's false narrative promises, restorative vs. practical justice, and the fallacy of equality in Mat's courtship of Tuon.
Episode 219: Gawyn Trakand: Mall Cop
It's the twilight of Crossroads of Twilight! As we finish book 10 and season 9, we talk about Opium and Lord Byron, Chickens Unionizing, Egg's Cotton Candy Vape, Bode's Daring Tar Valon Escape, and the arrival of our Brando Period.
