A Court of Splintered Harmony Is HERE (and We Have Thoughts) | ACOSH Ch. 1-4 Nov 09, 2026

Show notes

We’re back, and a little late with our Halloween costumes. SURPRISE. A Court of Splintered Harmony is finally here, and we’re starting with the bonus chapter, the prelude, and Chapters 1–4. Azriel finally gets his own POV and almost kisses Elain, then gets cockblocked by Rhys and regifts her necklace to Gwyn (excuse me?). We also get his brutal backstory, the TruthTeller twist, a Sleeping Beauty theory about Nyx, and a whole lot of “leave Nesta alone.” Plus, Rhys might be a hypocrite, the continent won’t sign the treaty, and Ellie + Melissa give the book a 2/5 so far. Heads up: this episode has spoilers for all of Sarah J. Maas’s books. Want more? Join our Patreon for ad-free episodes and afterparties.

We Called It and It Still Hurt | Golden Son Ch. 43–51 Nov 02, 2026

Show notes

Subscribe to our Patreon for instant access to the rest of Red Rising Series episodes → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod

It’s the Golden Son finale and we are not okay. Melissa and Ellie cover chapters 43–51: Darrow finally goes home to Lykos, his mom recognizes him, and Mustang learns the truth. Then the ending hits and Pierce Brown takes out half the cast. Some of it we called episodes ago, and it still hurt. Along the way you get gift-giving disasters, a dream about our old French teacher, and the phrase “walk, don’t run,” which we will now use for everything. Want to keep going? Every Morning Star episode is already up on Patreon, so you can binge the whole thing. Starting next week we’re also deep diving A Court of Splintered Harmony.

Two Slaps & an Iron Rain | Golden Son Ch. 36–42 Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

Darrow calls for an iron rain, and yes, it’s literally soldiers shot out of ships like raindrops. We’re covering Golden Son chapters 36–42, where Darrow and the Howlers get fired at Mars in living space spitballs, there’s a near-drowning at the bottom of a river that gave Melissa hives, Ragnar gets his razor, and the Roque situation keeps getting worse. Then Chapter 42 hits with a reveal that sent Melissa out of her chair and sent us texting each other at 1 a.m. (watch the video for that part). Only one Golden Son episode is left!

Everything You Forgot Before ACOTAR 6 | Full Series Recap Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

Ellie’s back, Melissa’s busy packing for a move, and Ellie’s husband Grant is filling in for a speed recap of the whole ACOTAR series before books 6 and 7 come out. We go through all five books in about 45 minutes, catch up on the House of Flame and Shadow crossover, then get into the book 6 teasers and the wildest fan theories out there: can mates be unmade, is Azriel a Prince of Hel, does Cassian die, and a Night Court civil war. Also: Tamlin as Thanos, a Costco rotisserie chicken shirt, and nobody ascending. Spoilers for every ACOTAR book and Crescent City.

Show notes

Subscribe to our Patreon for instant access to the rest of Golden Son episodes → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod

Darrow saw the betrayal coming, and Melissa and Ellie are losing it. In Golden Son Ch. 29–35 the Howlers rise from the sea, Tactus gets the most beautiful redemption arc ever written… and then Lorn ***** him. Mustang takes Pliny’s eye, Sevro wants it for his collection, and Darrow tells RAGNAR he’s a Red before anyone else. Plus a 6-year-old roasting Melissa’s skin, Frankenstein teeth, Tyra Banks lore, a Hairspray deep dive, and a growing fear that Roque is about to turn. The Reaper sails to Mars. Next up is Ch. 36–42.

Bacon, Love & Too Many Dead Girlfriends | Golden Son Ch. 22–28 Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

Subscribe to our Patreon for instant access to the rest of Golden Son episodes → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod

Chapters 22–28 of Golden Sun deliver the moment we have been waiting for — Sevro FINALLY admits he knows who Darrow is, and we are knocked completely off our chests (that's a phrase). We break down why this reveal hit different, what it means for Roque (spoiler: we're devastated and also not surprised), and whether Mustang eating bacon every day to feel close to Darrow is sweet or deeply unhinged. Plus: Pliny gets assigned his permanent villain casting, we go down a rabbit hole about the canonical existence of a Jelly Belly factory in this universe, and Ellie learns the hard way what a hippogriff actually is.

Dr. Jackal Will See You Now | Golden Son Ch. 15–21 Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Subscribe to our Patreon for instant access to the rest of Golden Son episodes → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod

Dr. Jackal is in surgery, and we are not okay. In Golden Son chapters 15–21, Darrow plays a game of truth or death with Octavia and her creepy scorpion oracles, the Howlers show up after a very dramatic "take cover" cube, and Sevro turns up with something mysterious in a bag (spoiler: it's Lysander). Then the Jackal performs brain surgery on a moving ship like he's McDreamy, Tactus breaks our hearts, and Darrow ends up backed into a corner for what feels like the fourth time this week. Plus Korean skincare that makes you smell like bulgogi, Feyd-Rautha Boggle usernames, and the discovery that Darrow really has a way with large men. Grab your star shell and come hang with us!

Threshing Day | Recap, Reveals, & Theories Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

We're a week out from the Threshing Day novella (dropping 9/29/26), so we couldn't wait — this is a surprise bonus theory sesh before the release. We recap what Threshing Day actually is, debate whether Brennan's backstory matters for book four, dig into when Jack Barlow really turned venin, and cast our bets on who's going mad next (Dain? Ridoc? Aaric?). Plus: our "board of directors for dragons" theory, why Cath might be lying about his name, and all the reveals we're hoping book four finally gives us. Spoilers for books 1–3 ahead — you've been warned.

The Gala Duel Gets Messy | Golden Son Ch. 8–14 Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Subscribe to our Patreon for instant access to the rest of Red Rising episodes → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod

Darrow's plan to survive the gala goes sideways fast — a duel with Cassius turns into an arm getting cut clean off, Octavia oversteps her own law and immediately regrets it, and the whole Bellona family jumps in for round two. Throw in Antonia apparently not being dead after all and Fitchner casually tasing the Jackal, and chapters 8–14 of Golden Son might be the most chaotic stretch yet. We break it all down — the theories, the questionable decisions, and the moment we both had to stop and reread a paragraph twice. We have new episodes every week, so follow along and subscribe to make sure you don't miss what's in that box.

Big Bologna Is Dead? | Golden Son Ch. 1–7 Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Subscribe to our Patreon for instant access to the rest of Red Rising episodes → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod

Melissa and Ellie kick off Golden Son, and things get messy fast. Darrow's final Academy test turns into a full-blown space trap, "Big Bologna" makes his appearance, and by chapter three our boy is bankrupt, homeless, and down a reputation. Enter Pliny, the smuggest, silkiest villain this series has given us yet, plus a very unwelcome reunion with the Jackal. We cover chapters 1–7, debate whether Darrow should still be pining for Mustang, and ask the important questions — like how many cousins it takes to pee on one guy. Spoiler-free through chapter 7, tissues optional.
