Aug 8th, 2025 5:05 AM

You asked (and asked…and asked) and we finally caved. Today we’re breaking our own rules to bring you a brutally honest review of We Were Liars. It didn’t just drop — but the amount of DMs we’ve had from Spill listeners demanding this ep was too wild to ignore. We unpack the chaotic characters, the eerie mystery at the heart of it all, and the twist that left people gasping (spoiler alert: we have thoughts). Plus, the nepo baby casting you might’ve missed and the sneaky easter eggs that hinted at the ending all along. This one’s messy, dramatic and full of opinions — just how you like it.
