What The Fantasy: An Otherworldly Podcast

Hi WTFers. Please join us for this weeks episode of What the Fantasy where we bitch about audible, Bre talks about being back on her paranormal reverse harem bullshit while discuss whether or not we are bad podcasters for not ever knowing the name of authors of books we are reading? Read (or don't honestly…) this SJM DUPE, oops i mean Bow Before the Elf Queen. If Sarah J Maas was a writer on Riverdale this would be the product. All i know is you've never met any she elves quite like us.

Your unreliable hosts are back (again) with an episode full of off-topic tangents, problematic takes on pop culture, and other distractions from the less than impressive book, Shadow of Night.

Happy Christmas, Harry! As a gift to our WTF'ers this holiday season, enjoy this bonus episode from yours truly! Test your HP knowledge and get progressively more lit with us as Lex and Bre go head to head in a game of Wizarding Trivia. Oh, and our special guest, Cullen.

Your WTF Queens are back after another hiatus! This week we're diving into the first book of the All Souls trilogy, A Discovery of Witches. Tune in for chats about bad casting, toxic men (vampires), and hear us call everyone and their mother a queen in this prosecco-induced unhinged conversation.

Season One of the House of the Dragon is officially wrapped, so we're bringing things full circle following our mid-season update. The second half of this season brought blood, betrayal and hella bed sores for Viserys, so we're recapping and discussing all the drama - and dealing with some diaper drama of our own - in this episode of WTF.

After a few bye weeks the WTF girls are back with a cult favorite just in time for Spooky Szn - Donnie Darko. Tune in and trip through time with us as we discuss the wild theories and explanations for this iconic film.

We're halfway through the first season of House of the Dragon, so WTF is reflecting on what can only be described as a chaotic five episodes thus far. From major time jumps to jumping bones, tune in for Lex and Bre's speculations on how the next five episodes of HoD will bring more drama, more spice, and - most importantly - more Matt Smith.

This is it, folks: the final installation of our Twilight experience. With a little monster baby inside both our FMC and one of our hosts, we're taking a scathing look at Bella's pregnancy, parenting skills, and everything in between.

It's Middle Earth time, baby. This week on What the Fantasy, we're traveling back to the Second Age to discuss the newest installation of the Lord of the Rings saga, The Rings of Power. Tune in to hear us most likely break canon in our attempt to understand one of the most developed and highly followed universes in the fantasy genre.

The WTF ladies are back again to discuss the most toxic teen relationship in the fantasy genre after watching New Moon and Eclipse. We're addressing all the hard hitting stuff this week, like why Bella is so unlikeable and should be sent to bootcamp. So where the hell you been, loca? Tune in already.

Game of Thrones fans rise up for Episode 10 of What the Fantasy. Lex and Bre talk incestual family trees, Legolas wannabes, and for some reason social security numbers following the highly anticipated premier of House of the Dragon on HBO.

WTF picks back up this Tuesday with the sinful second installation of the Kingdom of the Wicked series, Kingdom of the Cursed. After putting KOTW on full blast two weeks ago, we're revisiting plot holes that were filled, addressing questions that were answered, and speculating on who the F is La Prima in this week's episode on KOTC.

Welcome back for Episode 7 of WTF, where we teleport to Sicily to discuss our absolutely sinful reactions to Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco. Did we enjoy the book? We don't really know. Are we looking forward to doing a Part 2 on Kingdom of the Cursed? Absolutely. Jump ahead to 11:16 if you want to skip our Catch Up segment (just know we're judging you if you do).

Not that long ago in a galaxy far, far away, two dumb bitches attempted to review a show with a notoriously passionate fanbase. Buckle up for Episode 6 of WTF, where Bre and Lex discuss Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen… And a little of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

Grab your book and page flip with us as we attempt to gather our thoughts after SJM yet again rocks our world.

In WTF Episode 4, Lex and Bre are swept into the whimsical, complex world of an iconic film by Studio Ghibli: Spirited Away. Listen in as we speculate the film's cryptic symbolisms, swoon over Haku, and repeatedly mispronounce 'Chihiro' in attempt to better understand this fantastical coming of age masterpiece.

In Episode 3 of What the Fantasy, we dive into the fantastical worlds created by our lord and savior, Sarah J. Maas, starting with Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood.
