Episodes

Thursday Jan 30, 2025

Tune in as the Lit Sisters spiral through the explosive Fourth Wing finale—because wow, did we not see that coming. Nicole is fuming over all the avoidable drama, Marisa is dramatically staring out of windows like she’s in a music video, and both are questioning their life choices (and Rebecca Yarros’). The dragons remain the only ones making good decisions, while the humans are out here breaking trust, furniture, and possibly the laws of physics. Betrayals are dropped, lightning is thrown, and Dain continues his reign as King of the Buzzkills. Don’t miss this episode—unless you, too, need time to process the shocking events (pun absolutely intended).
Ch. 27-End

Thursday Jan 23, 2025

What do you get when you mix one grumpy dragon, a ridiculous amount of attempted murder, and a lust-induced existential crisis? Apparently, just another week at Basgiath War College. In this episode, Nicole and Marisa break down Violet’s latest adventures, including navigating Dain’s emotional baggage, Xaden’s very inconvenient hotness, and the fact that she keeps surviving assassination attempts like it’s a hobby. Also, best written kiss of all time? We have thoughts.
Ch 16-26

Thursday Jan 16, 2025

Welcome to Basgiath College, where the curriculum includes walking the Parapet of Death, climbing the Gauntlet of Nope, and bonding with dragons who judge you harder than your ex’s mom. Violet’s small but mighty energy is thriving, despite Dain’s overprotective smothering and Xaden’s bad boy "I might kill you" smirks that scream “HR complaint.” Meanwhile, half the class is dead by lunch, Jack Barlow is a walking red flag, and Violet’s secret weapon? Poison. Lots of poison. Buckle up—it’s chaos out here.
Ch. 1-15

Thursday Jan 09, 2025

In this thriller-inspired episode, the Lit Sisters, Nicole and Marisa attempt to decipher what’s more suspicious: Chloe’s pill stash, her fiancé’s preppy vibes, or her brother’s forest exits... oh yeah, and her dad, who’s already a convicted serial killer. Turns out, when you’re high on Xanax, everyone looks guilty. Join the Lit Sisters as they navigate surprise parties for the anxious, questionable crime scene etiquette, and enough twists to make you question all the alibis.

Thursday Nov 14, 2024

The Lit Sisters are back with wild theories, spicy speculations, and an encyclopedia’s worth of mythology talk. Nicole and Marisa dive into love triangles (Elaine, Lucien, Azriel—pick a side!), suspicious fates, and whether Tamlin deserves a redemption arc (spoiler: it’s complicated). They also attempt to untangle the endless court drama, hypothesize about shadowy alliances, and wonder if THE MORRIGAN is hiding something big. Plus, they debate spicy book series, forgotten courts, and if more magic mean more drama.

Thursday Nov 07, 2024

The sisters dive into the chaos and romance of Nesta's finale, as she’s caught between axe-wielding brutes, mates that refuse to behave, and villainous monologues. From Nesta’s overly dramatic nightgown sacrifice (why, Nesta?) to Gwyn’s beast-attracting getaway, this episode has it all. Spoiler: The last boss isn’t just any old evil; it’s a power-hungry old crone who seriously miscalculates. It’s an adventure in every sense—and a test of both Nesta’s strength and her wardrobe choices.

Thursday Oct 31, 2024

Join Nicole and Marisa as they dive into Cassian’s questionable flirting techniques, Azriel’s awkward timing, and a cursed harp with the vibes of a creepy Disney ride.  Cassian tries (and fails) to be the knight in shining armor while Eris shoots his shot, and the gang makes friendship bracelets with a side of trauma bonding. This episode is equal parts chaos, sarcasm, and spice.
Ch 51-63

Thursday Oct 24, 2024

In this episode, the Lit Sisters dissect Cassian’s "diplomacy" skills (spoiler: he’s better with swords). Meanwhile, everyone’s reading smutty books, wielding suspiciously powerful weapons, and there’s some truly awkward tension when Azriel walks in on another not-so-subtle or romantic moment. Between Cassian getting flustered and the sisters giving their hot takes, it’s just another day of bat boys, wingmen, and magical mayhem. And yes, there’s a Kelpie. But we really wish there wasn’t.
Ch. 25-50

Thursday Oct 17, 2024

Nicole and Marisa are back at it with "A Court of Silver Flames." In between training fails and Valkyrie lore, they dive headfirst into the awkward sex tension that’s hotter than Cassian’s sneezing fits. Tune in for awkward flirting, questionable training techniques, and a house that's better at friendship than most people. It’s the messiest, funniest self-help journey you didn’t know you needed!
 
Ch. 12 - 24

Thursday Oct 10, 2024

Nicole and Marisa kick off "A Court of Silver Flames" with a hearty serving of sass, hate-flirting, and plenty of eye-rolls at Nesta’s life choices. Watch Nesta fail miserably at yoga and stair climbing, while Cassian’s mind drifts straight into the gutter. It’s all sarcasm, sibling snark, and fiery back-and-forths as they navigate the ups and downs (mostly downs) of Nesta's journey.
 
Ch. 1-12
