May 09, 2024 06:00 - 57 minutes - 52.9 MBThis was the most sober we've sounded on a drunk episode - we must be getting older. The Michelle Wolf bit we talked about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcyPVW5WrFI The interview with Veronica Roth we quoted: https://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/10-questions-with-veronica-roth-author-of-the-divergent-trilogy-part-2-elizabeth-baird-hardys-questions/
Divergent Chapter 38 & 39
May 03, 2024 00:00 - 22 minutes - 20.3 MBWe made it!!! Chapter 38 is about four pages long and mostly contains said character so we've lumped it with the final chapter of the book. Tune in to see how Veronica Roth wraps it all up and how we think it ends!
Divergent Chapter 37
April 18, 2024 06:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MBThis should be the climax of this story! It's deeply disappointing!
Divergent Chapter 36
April 11, 2024 00:00 - 17 minutes - 16.4 MBWe get re-introduced to Tris's dad and brother in a bunker and who else could be there but Marcus! Tris makes some mental leaps that are too big for her and we discuss ~Identity~
Divergent Chapter 35
April 04, 2024 06:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBIt's almost like reading Stephanie Meyer again for the worst reason (women who want to die)!
Divergent Chapter 34

Divergent Chapter 33
February 29, 2024 00:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MBAnd the second after we learn of the twist the plot pops off! We compliment Veronica Roth on her pacing, we once again get lost in the IMDB page of the Divergent movie, and we go on lots and lots of tangents.
Divergent Chapter 31&32
February 22, 2024 06:00 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBPlot is happening! Teenagers are happening!
Divergent Chapter 29&30
February 15, 2024 06:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBI apologize to Christians everywhere for saying Jesus only spent 30 days in the desert. It's 40. Excommunicate me.
Divergent Chapter 28
February 08, 2024 00:00 - 39 minutes - 36 MBThis one's beefy, ladies, theydies, and gentlemen. Buckle up for the next act to kick off and for five million things to happen in one chapter in order for that to happen! This club has everything - cult talk, dtr, jokes at Four's expense, inconsistent characterization of Tris and so much more.
Divergent Chapter 26&27

January 11, 2024 00:00 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBtw: suicide and suicidal ideation for the entirety of the episode In this chapter we talk about Al, his incredibly fucked up memorial service and we touch on our favorite topic - cults. We also talk about how Colleen's dad invented a boyfriend for her whole-cloth over Christmas so it's not all doom and gloom.

Divergent Ch 20
December 08, 2023 00:00 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBThank you for your patience with our getting this episode up a day late - we battled end of year stresses and a migraine to bring you this delightful entertainment today!\ In this episode we finally get more (but not better) information about being ~Divergent~ from both Four and Tori! We also have more information about how deep the cult programming in this compound runs! We get introduced to another character who's not like other girls because he's a dolphin! Also notable, fun, and rele...

Divergent Chapter 12
August 24, 2023 00:00 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBTime for the very famous capture the flag scene! So famous, in fact, that Rebecca forgot it existed.
