They Both Die At The End - Part IV: Bye-Bye, Miss American Pie
Tuesday Jun 29, 2021
Tuesday Jun 29, 2021
Episode 18 takes us through Part 4 of Adam Silvera's They Both Die At The End! On this week's episode the friends discuss their highs and lows of the Mateo/Rufus adventure and how they'd like to explore the expansive death cast universe. Plus, the definitely not New York Times best selling BWF boys share their own edits and endings that are worse, but could maybe still be good and less tragic. And I would love to tell you that Brett belted out all 8 minutes of American Pie (not the movie) from memory, but if that happened your ears would bleed and the podcast would have to end forever.
