What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is unspoiled, covering the Dresden Files, book 18, 12 months, chapters 35 and 36. In these chapters, we finally find out what has been flying overhead throughout this book and meet the Spice Goyles.
Welcome to unspoiled. Welcome.
Welcome to the show, everyone. I am Natasha.
I'm Rashawn.
So, I have been just so eager for you to get here because I, like you, fully expected this to be something very bad. I didn't like it. And then these absolutely delightful little weirdos turned up and I was just enchanted. So, what did you think?
I, um, I have been... Trying so hard to come up with something that made sense. That would explain what was hovering over Harry. And you could have given me a million more years and I never would have landed on Gargoyles.
What new characters are introduced in chapters 35 and 36?
Yeah. It just was not something I was thinking about. I didn't know it was something that Jim Butcher was thinking about. But I am smitten. I really am. And the reveal, because we meet and speak with Basil. Yeah. Which is, like, okay for a name, you know.
It's a pretty average name. Right? Yeah.
That joke at the end, when you meet the rest of the crew, and they're all different spices. Just chef's kiss. Mm-hmm. Just... The... How literal they are. Yes.
How do the Spice Goyles impact the story?
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Bob being just like, oh, they're such bummers. My God, these guys are the worst. It was perfection.
It's like, Bob, I don't know if you understand how much of their appeal is that they annoy you, but you may want to cut back on letting us know how much they annoy you because it's really a feature for me.
It really is. I mean, this is so fun though. Like, This is really, really fun, this idea here. And, I mean, also, we got gargoyles on our side now.
Yeah.
Like, come fuck with us. Come fuck with us. I was tickled by the whole thing, though. I really was. And I was really relieved, too, that it turned out to be something good. Yes. You know, you get so used to the sky falling all the time in these books. Anytime there's a hint of weirdness going around, it's unexplained. You're just like, oh, what the fuck is this shit going to be now?
Yeah.
And it turns out to be, like, something good. It's so... Both of these two chapters... really felt kind of like a lifting of spirits, almost. Yeah. And no, like, pun intended. It's the use of the word spirit there. Tee hee. Tee hee. But it just felt, like, hopeful. Yeah.
I think part of it is, like, Harry making that joke also. Like, when's the last time he made, like, a little punny joke? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It just feels like, oh, there you are. Yeah. A little bit, you know?
What is the significance of Harry's interactions with the Spice Goyles?
And I know I feel like I say every episode, like, this is when things are going to turn around. I don't know. But it definitely is giving... There's a reason... Why we hung on. There's a reason why we keep fighting. We are not in this alone. And sometimes we have allies or resources or friendships or whatever. that we don't even know that we have available to us until we invite them in. Literally, he invited these motherfuckers in. Yes. Which, which, Harry, that was really sloppy.
Yeah. I love when Bear is like...
just well how did they get and harry keeps having to admit both to her and to bob i may have told them to come on and perhaps i just like extended an invitation to something that i had no idea what it was that's that's my bad i've been having a rough couple of months i don't know if you guys have been paying attention or not not in my best frame of mind lately that's that's that was on me right but uh But yeah, no, really good. Two really good chapters. The first one, even though it's a little bit more not a downer, but it's like seriousness of it, like going to see Thomas and it's heavier, but also somehow still really it's still like Not oppressive, you know? Like, there's still something hopeful about it.
There's something about watching Lara and Harry trust each other more and more. Yeah. It's become, like, more and more vulnerable. Mm-hmm. Lara being as honest and as forthright as she's being with Harry in this chapter about things that are probably...
