This episode shouldn't have happened, because we should have both read this book like twenty years ago... but we're finally reading Redwall by Brian Jacques! Does it hold up if you don't have childhood nostalgia for these rambunctious mice? Let's find out.

Also discussed: John Cleese, Squid Game, diagramming sentences, the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Rupi Kaur, and the Bubonic Plague.

Next month we will be reading Winterhouse by Ben Guterson.
