Description

Three grown up biologists rereading books from our teens (while desperately trying to make biological sense of glittery vampires, and dragons, and bird kids).

And it’s totally cool.

Chapter 74 is honestly pretty depressing, sorry guys. Join Sam, Sophie, and Hannah as they discuss what Max has in common with Bigwig (the rabbit), how high a birdkid can count, and have a terrible realization that this book might actually be worse than Midnight Sun.
Chapter 73 is SO rich. It has like $60. Wow. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss ATM theft, talk shit about American payment systems, and marvel over the phenomenon that is teenage boys in McDonald's.   Also, we talked about Fourth Wing a little bit, so there's that.
Chapter 72 is eating rats, because Fang said so! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the importance of stretches for thirty-year-olds with wings, if birds go to hell, and Sam finally, FINALLY, gets to bring up Illyrian wingspans.    
Chapter 71 is making a batch of delicious cookies, and a grilled cheese with avocado, yum. I am so hungry you guys. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the Mayberry vacation, the caloric needs of a birdkid, and many different flavours of ~*~childhood trauma~*~
Chapter 70 is a weakly-swimming plankton, like a jellyfish. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss how to find your lost birdkid, the rising price of gas these days, t e e t h, and accidentally remember some shocking truths about moms. Vaccinate your birdkids, folks.
This is Chapter 69, nice. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the Kerplunk Experiment, birdkid deliverables, and why Angel might pounce upon a can of beans. Also Sam is still mad about experimental design, but that's a constant at this point.
Chapter 68 is ready to drop a bomb on your decrepit mountainside logging cabin! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss werewolf hair, if cult leaders are just hot, and fast food Dumpster (tm) diving for breakfast.
Chapter 67 unfurls from the indentations along our spine! Like wings do! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss how cool it is, actually, to ask for help, what you should do when you find an injured bird (kid), and why you shouldn't put an 8-year-old in charge of your plans.
Chapter 66 is a screaming effort all around, really. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss being adopted by birds, why Iggy and the Gasman should never have been left alone, and biblically-accurate birdkids.
Chapter 65 has human legs and a human butt, so I'm going to send it to Sophie in the mail. You're welcome, Sophie. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the USA Migratory Bird Treaty Act (1918), the many joys of windbreakers, and ferruginous hawks.
It's me, hi, I'm Chapter 64, it's me. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss Max's special vision, the expressive faces of judgmental animals, and their extremely thorough understanding of engineering.
Chapter 63 could be any one of a couple characters' POVs, which is kind of confusing, honestly. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss language development, evil gene science (both fictional and horrifyingly real), and the complex psyche of people who like invertebrates.
Chapter 63 waits darkly in your podcatcher. Do you know what that means? We don't. Please enlighten us, we're so confused. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they (we) discuss the birdkid digestive systems, comparative flight speeds, and the genetics of being an edgelord.
Chapter 61 descends from the sky like a spider to kidnap you and shove you headfirst into a sack! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss head injuries in fiction, what the term "GMO" really means, and complain about the experimental design of child abuse, because that's the real issue, obviously.
Spread your wings and take flight with Chapter 60! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss wing flying posture and their aspirational mad scientist experiments, and Hannah accidentally assigns herself a horrifying nickname.
On this foggy Christmas Eve, Santa will come to say -- hey, you should listen to Midlight Christmas! Buckle up for our annual departure from YA fiction as we bring you CHRISTMISFITS, the high fantasy Christmas rom-com nobody knew they were missing! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they rewrite a holiday favourite to include shape-shifting druids, parallel love stories, and an unnecessary amount of teeth content.
Chapter 60 opens book three of this podcast, because everyone knows good fantasy comes in threes, right? Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discover their avian superpowers, have their fourth wall broken, and share all the hottest James Patterson gossip.   Welcome to Midlight Crisis reads: MAXIMUM RIDE: THE ANGEL EXPERIMENT!
We've done it, folks! We read Eragon cover to cover and biologized all over it, and the time has come to bring all of those ideas together. What is a dragon egg actually made of? Does Saphira have radioactive bones? How plausible are d*cklegs, really? Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss their theories from the past 30 Chapters, grumble about hexapods, and draw their final conclusions.   Welcome to The Eragon Dragon, Explained!
Read Chapter 57 and then brisingr that book goodbye because we are DONE WITH ERAGON! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they realize that Saphira can breathe fire, spoil the rest of the series, and share their feeeeelings about the book.
Chapter 56 finally reaches its climax, in like, the last chapter of the book. Which is fine, I guess. Better late than never, right? Anyway, join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss dwarvish foresight (or lack thereof), an actual definitive (ish) Saphira size, and the Shade's fleshy exosuit.
