Natalie invites her friend Amber (@spukhaus) to come back to the pod and explore the world of surrealist internet horror, primarily through the lens of Too Many Cooks and Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. The episode happened to be recorded 2 days after the U.S. election, making this the Post Election Episode (trademark), and the pair spends the episode processing the results and connecting its themes to the topic at hand. Accompanying playlist of each video mentioned will be available on Patreon via editor notes.

In the Twi-Tober Finale Episode, Natalie's friend Becca joins her to tackle Breaking Dawn. 2 movies. 1 book. 700+ pages. And we had a lot to say. We provided plenty of anecdotes along the way, such as the story where Becca was high at youth group, or when Natalie played the wife of a mass shooter (TWICE) in high school. Also, the 9/11 of it all. So many gems in this episode.

Content Warnings: brief discussion of incest (this episode truly does cover it all)

Natalie's friend Addy returns to the podcast for episode 3 of Twi-Tober and together they attempt to tackle Eclipse. There's a lot to discuss, such as the weird casual racism in the backstories, and the Jacob Black of it all. That man should be in prison. This episode features more direct quotes from the text than any other, because summaries do not do these questionable plotlines justice.

TW: racism/general stereotyping of POC (specifically indigenous communities, but some other examples sprinkled throughout), assault, manipulation
