Yes. The time has come. As one of these wizards said, "It is our choices that show us who we really are." And as the other said, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." We have taken all these words to heart and made the choice with our time to celebrate our 100th episode (a feat only possible thanks to you, dear listener!) with an epic debate long ago foretold of and foreshadowed. Plus, a new song is sung during donor shoutouts! Be warned: spoilers for both respective properties appear, sometimes without warning. Also, hopefully this should be apparent, but in the case that it is not, we ARE still friends ;).COMMENT BELOW WHO YOU THINK WON:100. Gandalf v.

Cooper does an epic solo episode on a classic dystopian novel. Is Ray Bradbury's writing too over-the-top in this book? What can this book tell us about our modern society and our impending doom?? WILL COOPER DIE BY COUGHING DURING DONOR SHOUTOUTS??? The answers to all of these questions occur in this legendary 99th episode. Plus, updates on the future!

FINIS. The Chronicles of Narnia, and our discussion of it, is now finished. Today, Cooper, Tanner, and Isaiah capstone their conversation on this classic series. Who’s the best protagonist?

And of course, the ultimate debate everyone was waiting for: REEPICHEEP VS PUDDLEGLUM, DAWN OF JUSTICE. What. An. Episode.   Listen now!SUPPORT US HERE:https://patreon.com/bookinitTEXT US HERE!

It's the end. Cooper and Tanner discuss the final book in Narnia with great detail and insight. Was Lewis a universalist? (The long awaited conversation).  What does Lewis really think about Rillian and Jewel's rashness? Is the end of this book one of the best endings of a series in history? IS IT???? All this, and more! (Much more, obviously. This is, like, our second longest episode ever.)SUPPORT US HERE:https://patreon.com/bookinitTEXT US HERE!

Cooper and Tanner discuss the sixth book in the Chronicles of Narnia. Is this the most Tolkienian book in Narnia? Is this book structured weird? Are Eustace and Jill subpar protagonists?
