At long last, DDDSPod is finishing it's year-long read of the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. There are a lot of pages and characters in this book! Aelin is trapped in a box, Lysandra is cosplaying as the heir of fire without any of the fire magic, Dorian is trying to learn how to shape shift, Manon is uniting the witch tribes, and many, many other characters kill time as we await any meaningful resolution to come in part two.

But first, Jacob and William celebrate genre movie wins at the Oscars and William mourns the Buffy reboot.

Things are getting FREAKY this week on DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE as William and Jacob discuss There Is No Antimemetics Department by qntm, a genuinely terrifying, sci-fi/horror phantasmagoria. This club has everything: unknowable entities that eat memories, ideas that kill you if you're aware of them, Lovecraftian monsters composed of dismembered body parts, and a LOT of giant spiders that are currently all around you–you just can't perceive them. It's trippy, it gave both of your beloved hosts nightmares, and it's quite possibly the scariest book either of them has ever read.

But first...William gets back in the sack with Laurel K. Hamilton's Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter, defies critics by loving The Bride!, and both hosts share their love for Netflix's How to Get to Heaven from Belfast.

UPCOMING EPISODES:

• 3/19: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas Part 1 (Chapters 1-67)
• 3/26: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas Part 2 (Chapter 68-End)

This week, Jacob and William dive headfirst into the chaotic, neon-soaked world of Matt Dinniman’s latest sci-fi thriller, Operation Bounce House.

Your hosts break down why Dinniman (of Dungeon Crawler Carl fame) remains a master of the "absurdly high-stakes" genre. They discuss the book's sharp, uncomfortable reflections of our current political climate and how Dinniman manages to make a story about murderous Twitch streamers and their unwitting victims feel like a biting commentary on modern surveillance and civil unrest.

• It's fun!: The pacing feels like a shot of adrenaline and the set pieces left them breathless.

• Political Resonance: A look at the eerie parallels between the book’s fictional collapse, today's news cycle, and ever-more-omnipresent AI. Is it satire, or is it a warning?

• The "Unmemorable" Paradox: Jacob and William grapple with a strange critique—how can a book be this well-made and polished, yet feel like it might slip through the cracks of their memory in a few months?

• Full Spoiler Breakdown: We’re talking the ending, the big reveals, and that one twist involving the synthetic atmosphere that we’re still processing.
