    The GRB-End

    The journey in to Love and Literature has come to an end. Join Mack & Lucky for an  adventure postmortem, where we look back on the ups, the downs, and the all arounds. An incredibly touching end to a once-in-a-lifetime-movie journey into the Romance genre. We have messages from our previous characters, a riveting duet featuring Mack and a special guest, the 2021 Nookie Awards, a final goodbye from our most trustworthy steward, and one final shocking revelation that will change romance forever...the revelation is that love conquers all, but you should still listen to the episode.  Thank you to ZakharValaha for their song Piano Moment, the perfect send off tune.

    The boys are back with the second reading of In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren, and things are really steaming up at the beloved family cabin!

We're just begging for one more loop through time! Highlights from this episode include visits from the three Christmas Ghouls, Mack's Groundhogs Day Speedrun Strats, Cheese Blintz fascination, Ketchup Nutz, our Twilight fan fiction, Andrews personal boner shield, and the perfect Spiderman joke.
