It's time to spin the wheel once again! In this episode, we pull celebrity names from our trusty (and very digital) wheel picker, fully expecting our usual mix of fun surprises. Instead, fate throws us a curveball when the wheel lands on one of the biggest icons in modern Hollywood. With a résumé that's far too massive for a quick rundown, we pivot and dedicate the entire episode to celebrating this legendary career. Who is it? You'll have to listen to find out! Plus some fandom news and your feedback!

In anticipation of the newest entry in The Dresden Files series (which will be out by the time this episode drops), we're diving headfirst into Jim Butcher's beloved urban fantasy world. From wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden and his ever-growing list of supernatural problems to the blend of noir detective vibes, magic, monsters, and heart, we discuss what makes this long-running book series such a fandom staple—and why now is the perfect time to jump in (or jump back in). Plus some fandom news, quite a bit of feedback, and a bit of a side-tangent so Rachel can give a quick review of her recent seeing of MJ The Musical.
