Climbing that many stairs IS truly frightening

sAZAndorable

HELL yes. this was fantastic. absolutely love it. a new favourite episode, start to finish. AND THERE'S 8 EPISODES LEFT! 8D

LainyJP

That was sooooooo gooood!!!

Eli Labat-Angstadt

It ends right there?? Oh my word... my heart is racing. Thank you, RQ!

ThirdFromTheLeft

OH MY GODDDD! The end bit tho. Those sound effects were INCREDIBLE. Love the jumble of statement words and the rushing sounds. It really gives you the sense of the eye of an eldritch storm. And !! So great to have jonah back. He's so fun to hate and so deeply entertaining.

Striker Flynn Massrider

I DONT LIKE WHERE WE ARE AT AND HOW MANY EPISODES ARE LEFT OH NO OH THATS A LOT OF TIME FOR THINGS TO GET WORSE

a-human-shaped-space

Don't mind me just sitting on the edge of my proverbial chair till March...

karhofzoe

there's not a single encouraging word on that screen.jpg

K Starling

now that was an incredible episode

Julia Cameron

wow this is a new favorite episode for sure. incredible work omg

Ivy cat is the best cat

This was fantastic. Favorite part: “Oi! Dickhead!” I really like season 5 Martin.

ray brantley

Y’all never fail to impress. 💕 thanks for another stellar episode, and I’m so ready for what comes next.

twigletsaregreattoeat

Absolutely loved this and quote of the episode “oi Dickhead”, go Martin and still 8 more episodes to shred my nerves, oh my oh my 🥱

Devin Goodman

Now that I have my Rosie episode, I’m going to be selfish and up my demand to a full-blown Rosie spin-off. Just make sure it starts airing the week after Magnus ends so I don’t have to wait too long. Thanks 😘

Griffin Irradiatedsnakes

seeing the episode title on monday thinking like...rosie? couldnt be, could it? nahh, probably not, would be cool though. and then getting to this and ITS *HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* A WHOLE STATEMENT, TOO!!! AAHHHH

jelmarose

S5 Martin just don't give a shit anymore and I love him more every episode <3

Lurkin

Goddd this is so good I'm losing my mind

Jess Fisher

I can’t believe that not only have we finally got a statement for Rosie (aka the love of my life) but she’s SUFFERING?!?!? Jonah I’ll never forgive you for this

Lurkin

The SOUNDS of the apocalypse rising around Rosie! GOSH

jec

My little group chat was REALLY rooting for rosie to be in s5 and well!!!!! we feast thank you

Urban Changeling

Ooh that chanting is so cool!! I would really like a mix of it. ~Lofi eldridge chanting beats to sleep/relax to™~

Sam Symonds

Martin, babe, you dropped this 👑

Gilligan Mungus

This totally felt like a be careful what you wish for moment for Jolias at the end of the episode. Rosie knows so much - assistants always do. We’re often taken for granted but the things we learn and KNOW.

james

omg i've missed jonah so much

Miri and the Grand Vastness of Space

i need to know if y'all actually got lottie back to record the sasha and elias muffled background argument, guys, i need this for my heart because i miss sasha every dAY

gojo fujoshi

this sure is a podded cast........

Hollow

👏👏👏👏Very good epiosde!!!

Jamie Hilts

This managed to portray almost exactly how I felt when I was a receptionist, and honestly how I've been feeling at work since COVID. This was incredible writing and an episode that touched a fear of mine I didn't even know I had. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Sunnyrea

Wonderful to get another view of some of our major events in Maguns through Rosie. Also nice to see that Elias made sure to terrorize absolutely everyone within the institute, lucky Rosie...

James White

Well... we got our Rosie appearance and of course her whole situation is depressing.

Maddie B

Incredible episode, just an absolute zinger. I am left with so much excitement and dread for next week. Also, the Peter Lukas impression was unbelievably good - absolutely nailed Alasdair's signature tone.

Paper Planet

Poke That Eye. Poke That Eye. Poke That Eye.

Mckayla Gilbert

You guys really popped off with this episode. DAMN

Paul S

I thought I had been paying attention but Rosie seems like a new character to me. Time to go back and relisten to some episodes. I love how strong these final episodes have been.

Nicole

I can’t believe the theories were kinda right

Mars

✨ O i d i c k h e a d ✨

Mars

Right???? I was thinking the exact same.... Too many episodes for them to be there already.... What is gonna happen 😬😬

Anna S

I had been really hoping that Rosie would be receptionist at the Panopticon, and this was even better than I'd imagined. We got a whole Rosie statement setting the show into a different perspective. Loved it!

Alex (she/her)

this is one of my new favourite episodes

isaac

oh NO

Bruna G

I AM NOT READY Edit: That was amazing.

corvidae

HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT

corvidae

once again my name makes sense,

AshGarnet

Ohhh. There's a lot in this episode.

James White

I see that Bojack reference and it made me really happy.

Kate Sparrow

Martin's "Oi! Dickhead!" is a light in a dark world. This episode was absolutely stellar!

Reanna _

I can't even process right now but can I just scream SOUND DESIGN I feel like every episode with incredible sound effects you all level up?! Like this episode was extraordinary!

Mordecai Sennett

weird q: since american podcast hosting things hate profanity is 'oi dickhead' going to stay in the spotify/apple release or is that a ✨patreon exclusive✨? follow up question: how much is alex sweating in fear that this episode will be nerfed for profanity?

Mimi Fischer

This was just wow.... and every assistant out there can understand Rosie - I certainly do.

Marie

The fact that they're already meeting with Elias/Jonah (but he'll always be Elias to me) but they still have 7 episodes to go makes me extremely nervous.

Laura Bailey

Just so delighted to see Rosie, give her a surname, and hear her story - and then so overwhelmed by the sound design for Elias/Jonah! So good. SO AFRAID.

Zorya Dolgushkin

I don't know what else to say except FUCK! AMAZING!

Weenie hut jr

THE SOUND DESIGN IN THIS EPISODE WAS FUCKING SUPERB!!

Jupiter Moody-McIntyre

I don't know what emotion this epsidoe elicited but it sure was alot

Simplicity Fairbolt

edit: I thought he was reciting the Ritual speech at the end but nope, PDF proved me wrong. Still! More doom poetry! And I'm still out here screaming...

Anthony&

I'm back to listen to this again for the 40th time... Jonny and co, you have OUTDONE YOURSELVES, the pacing and the little details sprinkled in, things fans have been wondering as well as little bits of characterization... BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS LOVELY SUSPENSE AT IT'S FINEST........... I have full faith that whatever the end has in store for us it will feel at least twice as gutwrenching as the end of this episode, and I am So Afraid :')

Bruna G

“Yeah... excuse us” I love Martin so much

odysseuswandering

Oh dear, that's not a good sign with 7 episodes left...

sasha h

this episode is WONDERFUL everything about it is great thank you so much

Edie

rosie ]]:

hrrng

elias has weird old man hair CONFIRMED

Jess Nicolazzo

WOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH 😱😱😱 So gooood!!!!! Incredible writing and sound design too everyone! Seriously outdone yourselves 💕

The Automaton Grove

Wait, what? This is not where I expected them to be at this point.

Anika

Eesh that sfx bug noise was not a good time. I do enjoy the pupil of the eye wordplay though

Heather MacKenzie

"I don't like them." That, Martin, was the understatement of the year. I do feel sorry for Rosie though.

Mantha Grant

WHAT AN EPISODE!!!!! WHOA! I haven't felt this entranced by an episode in a while. Absolutely compelling and horrifying. I can't wait for the next episode.

Margot R.

I didn't know I needed Martin to say that. Loved it.

Sinclair Cross

Martin's gone FERAL ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

deeeeeeeeee

Yes! That was the first thing I thought was wow! Spot on!

Tiffany

I'd been shipping John and Martin since they started interacting at the beginning. So nice hearing them with the "I love you." And I'm jealous of how you've developed their characters. Martin's confidence has really blossomed and John's slightly less of a dick. Hope this is taken as a compliment. I'm learning a lot as a writer about plot and description from listening to this, so thanks.

ledgem

"oi! dickhead!" ahaha also, I love Rosie.
