Returning after the abrupt and totally expected ending of last weeks episode, Anna and Jeffrey return to discuss chapters 33-35 of A Court of Thorns & Roses. They hit all the highlights: Is Nic Cage a beloved actor? Who is Adam Driver going to play in Anna's fan-cast? Have you seen High Life? Cause that's a great movie. Do we think that the word "synopsisized" is a real world? Don't look it up! And don't worry, they do discuss the chapters as well.

As Alis sees Feyre off to Under the Mountain with little to no information that would help Feyre, Jeffrey takes a deep dive into the idea of "back doors" in fantasy and sci-fi universes. Alis lays out three rules before leaving Feyre: don't drink faerie wine, don't make any bargains, and not to trust anyone, anything, or even her own senses. Sounds like Alis has read other stories of the fae. Anna rewinds to try to remember what her thoughts about Amarantha were the first time she met her: turns out she imagined her as just another sexy babe. Jeffrey and Anna try to decide who they think Amarantha looks like, and boy, they are not the same at all! But check back in a few years to see if Anna's fan-casting was correct. Feyre gets her nose broken so we can have a moment with Lucien - that's sweet of her. Jeffrey wonders at the nature of riddles and guesses the correct answer live on air - please clap. Feyre can't seem to get it, but as she likes to remind herself, she's just a dumb human living in a faerie's world. Well, maybe Anna is not remembering correctly and we're both dumb humans as well, only time will tell. As Feyre heads back to her cell to await her first task, Jeffrey ruminates on the radio drama War of the Worlds. Check it out if you never have.
