Welcome to the inner workings of the mind of Edward Anthony Mason Cullen. Maggie and Nico are here to probe every nook & cranny of this long-awaited tome, excessively dwelling on the scientific implications of mind-reading, whether love can conquer all in dysfunctional relationships, whether Edward really is an irredeemable creep, and so much more. CORRECTION: Maggie refers to Edward and Carlisle as “East coast elites.” In fact Carlisle is British, and Edward is from Chicago.  

Breaking Dawn part 2 is perhaps not the greatest 400 pages of literature ever written, but there's still tons to discuss! Nico explains how the visible light spectrum could differ between humans and vampires. We delve further into the Cullens' relationship dynamics, and Maggie explores how Twilight is ~actually~ an allegory for queerness. Plus, Nico finally, totally, completely loses his shit in a way no one (or everyone?) could have predicted.

Teen marriage, vampire abortion, the nitty-gritty of Imprinting– Breaking Dawn goes there, and we have no choice but to follow. Maggie continues comparing Nico to Edward, to Nico's extreme chagrin. Maggie also details her real-life experience as the only girl in an all-male "wolf pack," and how that experience compares to Leah's.   

HUGE day, Creeps!!! At 8:30 this morn, it was announced that Midnight Sun will be published this August. Nico and Mag discuss the news, expectations, the "curse" of Midnight Sun, sex tapes (???) and the possible reemergence of toxic Twilight culture. 

"I've never been more emotionally effected by a book in my life." Eclipse is both the best and the worst book in the Twilight Saga. It's the emotional climax of the series, and also the most problematic. We talk about all the reasons why, and do a deep-dive into the real life Quileute legends and how Stephenie Meyer's version stacks up. PLUS Maggie makes her final ruling in the Team Edward vs. Jacob debate (Nico continues to despise Edward).

This is a fascinating conversation with author Lindsay Eagar about the Mormon influences in The Twilight Saga. We dive deep into the Mormon belief system, sex, virginity, gender roles, and how Mormonism can explain why Twilight is SUCH A WEIRD STORY. Lindsay shares so many incredible insights into this religion that clearly shaped Stephenie Meyer's brain. Be sure to stick around till the end, where Lindsay gives some profound insights into the vulnerability and superpowers of motherhood.

The Creeps talk Spanish Influenza vibes, breakup best practices, whether New Moon is the bravest book ever written (spoiler: it is) if Edward had a blog, and so much more! Nico was especially clueless and old man-like this week, which was truly a treat. Thanks for tuning in and making us part of your COVID-19 experience. Stay safe, creeps. 

"For me, Twilight isn't political. It's personal." We hope all our creeps are staying healthy and sane right now. If you need a break from the stressful news, enjoy ep 1 of our special 4-part series about The Twilight Saga. Your fave creeps Maggie and Nico are diving deep, way beyond Team Jacob vs. Team Edward– from cancel culture in YA lit, to the environmental impact of "vegetarian" vampires & more. Wash your hands, spider monkey!  

It's been an whole year since Maggie's legendary 2018 breakup, and the Creeps are back for a little wellness check and a very special holiday recap of Dawson's Creek Christmas (season 4 episode 9, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang)! Deck the halls with boughs of teen angst, creek freaks! 

Join us for Maggie and Nico’s most awkward conversation yet! Grab your headphones, a glass of wine, and just let the awkwardness wash over you. Plus, much talk about Joey’s makeup, biological urges, and a random tangent about the myth of the “gay gene.” It’s the most iconic episode of season one, Creek Freaks! Tune in!

An entire episode where we don’t trash Pacey a single time! In fact we really like him! You’re welcome! Plus further exploration of Maggie’s theory/wishful thinking that Jen is a lesbian. No vocab reel this week because Maggie is lazy and forgot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s good to be back, Creek Freaks! My, how the world has changed in 4 weeks time. Maggie is in love. Nico is in love with Pokemon. Pacey saw Joey’s boobs. Dawson had a personality transplant. Lots of juicy gossip in this episode, so tune in!!!

Forget #TeamJacey and #TeamJawson. Here at Creek Daze we are officially #TeamJeney!!!! Join us as we deconstruct the most erotically charged scene of Dawson’s Creek ever, wherein Jen and Joey share a box of ice cream by candlelight. Plus some Harry Potter talk, breakup advice, and Nico’s weird sex ed stories.

Maggie and Nico fight for an hour about Jen v. Dawson, 1998, and the breakup that launched a thousand angst-filled diatribes. Are you Team Dawson or Team Jen? (If you are Team Billy, plz die). We also discuss Pacey & Joey as a couple, and whether there is room in the cruel, Pacey-centric world of Dawson's Creek fandom for a Kevin Williamson purist. Enjoy, Creek Freaks!!

Maggie welcomes two special guests (veteran Creek freaks Charlotte and Melissa) for a very special episode of Dawson’s Creek. Listeners will enjoy an infusion of full-on Pacey love, as both my guests are hard core #TeamJacey! SPOILERS ABOUND in this ep, fair warning!

BABY! Maggie and Nico try to care about Bessie’s baby, but mostly discuss the logical failings of Christianity, Maggie’s secret homosexual fantasies, and whether all of Dawson’s Creek is a delusion in Dawson’s mind. This is also Tamara’s final episode, so it’s our last chance to discuss who’s more insane, her or Pacey. Farewell, Tammy!

Buckle up for the most intense episode of Dawson's Creek yet. You might describe it using the metaphor of a HURRICANE--- every single character in the show certainly does! So who are we to differ? It's a maelstrom of emotions, a gale of grudges, a rainstorm of rage. No one is safe from Hurricane Bob, including us!
