  • The Cycle of Obsession Continues

    I know it’s low hanging fruit and cliche to say that I’m actually obsessed with this podcast, but unfortunately I have to do it because it’s just the truth. Have been a day 1 religious listener and have found light and laughter here in some very dark times. Sorry it took me so long to rate/review/subscribe. Love you gals!

  • New fave

    Hi gals! Found this from listening to MTRU with Mo and Christina and so glad I started listening. The way I laugh out loud at your thoughts (bc let’s face it I think the exact same way) truly makes my work day/long runs fly by. Especially love your Twilight and HP content, as a fellow millennial with deep rooted obsessions for both in my formative years. Thank you for taking the time to make this content every week! And I love your theme music - end review. Please do GLEE soon!

    UPDATEEE: thank ... more

  • I’m actually obsessed

    I’m obsessed with this podcast, I love that it’s like sitting around with your friends talking about what you love and hate about something. I love that they unabashedly love things but also leave room to give criticism when necessary. I came for the twilight but stayed for the teenage books. 10 out of 10 would recommend
