S3:E15 Part 1: The Subtle Knife & His Dark Materials
Worlds are colliding, and we're slicing into The Subtle Knife! This week's episode kicks off the first half of our deep dive into Philip Pullman's The Subtle Knife and Season 2, Episodes 1–3 of His Dark Materials. We explore how the story expands beyond The Golden Compass, introducing new worlds, new faces, and the mysterious weapon that gives this book its name. From Lyra's growing independence to Will's quiet strength, we break down how the series balances faith, science, and fate—and how those first three episodes bring the multiverse to life.
Hosted by Crystal with co-hosts Keri and Lindsey.
