Off Campus just dropped on Prime Video and we spiraled so hard we had to make an episode about it. This week Cassie and Emily are breaking down the full Season 1 adaptation of Elle Kennedy's The Deal — what the show got exactly right, what they changed from the book, and whether you should read The Deal before or after watching.

We get into the scenes that had us absolutely feral (THAT "show me" scene — they delivered), why Allie and Dean almost stole the show entirely, the female gaze vs. the millennial gaze, the iconic cinematic parallels to our favorite rom-coms, and why Belmont Cameli's jaw ticks broke us on a personal level.

Plus: our full book vs. show ratings, the read-before-or-after debate (we disagree), and our theories on what Season 2 is going to do with Dean and Allie's storyline.

If you binged Off Campus and immediately doom-scrolled TikTok fan edits at 1am, this episode is for you.
