Look Into My Eyes
Quite apart from strange toys arriving in a child's bedroom or successful Netflix series, this week we look at Chapter 11: Strange Things Growing. In keeping with recent traditions this episode covers the entire gamut of emotions, from hilarity to depression, sometimes within the same minute. We think about nightmares, loss and the personal nature of the Headmaster's fight, as well as Grammar Jokes, Evil Villain Lairs Inc. and those days where sometimes everything just seems to go wrong. It's all here on this week's episode of Look Into My Eyes! Want to add your voice to the conversation, or...

"Be afraid, be very afraid", the tagline from 1986's The Fly, sadly not the subject of today's episode which is in fact about Chapter 8 of the Demon Headmaster Strikes Again: The Fly. On today's episode we discuss everything from hospital visits, to domesticity, evolution to miscommunication and everything else in between. As well as a long section where we just gush about how much we love how Rose is written in this chapter. All this and more awaits on this week's episode of Look Into My Eyes! Enjoy!

On this week's incredibly mature episode that isn't at all amused by the episode number, we cover Chapter 7 'Just a Little Smear...'. Not only do we marvel at the punctuational miracle presented by the chapter title, but we also cover taboo breaking with Dr Gill, the state of the Headmaster's plan (or lack thereof) and reconsider our choice of best character with Simon as the new rising star. Stick around at the end to hear us laughing about anything and everything before we record. Enjoy!

On this week's episode we join Dinah and Simon as they Look For Evidence here there and everywhere, which turns out to be an accurate description of the breadth of topics covered on this episode. Not only do we discuss escaping scientists, the police and the proximity of death but we also cover Simon's relationship with his father and the long shadow cast by his mother's death. Stick around at the end for Jonathan's indepth, wasp maths explanation and we hope you enjoy this week's episode of Look Into My Eyes!

CW: Lost children, injured children On today's episode we visit the much less fun and very serious Chapter 5: Coma, in which we discover what happened to Lloyd after the incident at the BRC. We also cover topics such as: our characters encountering consequences for the first time, Rose being in equal parts enchanting and horrifying and massive massive wasps. Throughout we endeavour to balance a much more serious chapter with some interesting and entertaining digressions. Enjoy! Disclaimer: Since recording I've re-done the calculations for the wasp and realise I was incorrect, based on...

In this episode we cover everything, from Rose's increasingly machiavellian tactics, Simon's relationship with his father and how Dinah's lack of political nous is holding her back.
