29: "I Don't Mean to Invalidate Your Feelings, I Just Know That You're Lying"

In this themed episode of Fic Clique, your hosts discuss "the ultimate test of cerebral fitness," by psychomachia (Chess) @13:18, "The Rock and The River," by Pi (Spirited Away) @39:12, and "Some Assembly Required," by Untherius (IKEA Commercial) @1:04:47.

We're starting the year off with a somewhat-timely themed episode: Yuletide! For this episode your hosts found fics of varying degrees of niche-ness, and the conversation that ensued went on twists and turns that not even we could have predicted. We uncover the dark secret of chess, discuss the most important work in literary history regarding magical choices, and learn how to just go along for the ride.
