The Fandom Show From Superheroes Network

Lace up your sneakers and get ready to sweat because today we’re talking to Kyah and Steph’s personal trainer, Jimmy Kim, about his lifelong passion; EXERCISE AND FITNESS. We chat about the do’s and don’ts of starting a successful exercise habit, prioritizing the fun part of working out, how lifting muscles uses your brain, the prevalence of performance enhancing drugs, how hard it really is to bulk up, good gym manners and questionable instagram fitness trends. And in case you’re wondering, this episode is NOT sponsored by Jimmy’s Athletics. We just really like it there.

We’re talking to comedian, youtuber and one half of the Girl Historian podcast, Carley Thorne, about her obsession with the world’s most famous witch-hunt; THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS. Put on a cauldron of tea and get cozy because we’re talking about the origin of New England’s witch hysteria, American vs. European witches, deadly teenage gossip, political scapegoats, devil-dogs, the cartoon coven that caused bisexual awakening, not-so-just Puritan justice system, Salem tour guide wars and the origin of the term ‘hag-ridden’.

It’s time to get spooOOooOOooky. Today we’re talking to actress, comedian and podcast host, Sarah Hillier (she/her) about her paranormal obsession: GHOSTS. Gather round as we discuss ghost stories, other-worldly experiences, why there are no caveman ghosts, why spirits might be annoyed by seances, a brush with an undead spider, and ghost-proof architecture. Plus a lightning round game that quickly descends into ‘which ghost is the hottest’ and never quite recovers.

*CUE DRAMATIC VIOLINS*  Today we’re talking to actor and comedian, Chris Sandiford (he/him) about his love for MOVIE SCORES. We chat about the difference between a ‘score’ and a ‘theme’, what makes a really good score, which composers are the most under or overrated, how a single evolving motif can enhance a narrative, and why Hans Zimmer has rejected the concept of instruments. Plus, Steph, Kyah and Chris invent a new pastime we like to call ‘movie score karaoke’.

Elementary, Dear Watson! Today we’re joined via Zoom by writer and illustrator, Molly Ostertag (she/her), to discuss her newest obsession, Sherlock Holmes! We talk about the crime-solving genius archetype that Arthur Conon Doyle unleashed on the modern era, the loyal and loving relationship between Sherlock and Watson, how Oscar Wilde influenced the character, the history of queerness in the Victorian era, and decoding the language and context of the 1800s. Plus, we touch on the many film adaptations of Holmes, why Watson is canonically sexy and an excellent fan-cast courtesy of thedrawingduke on Tumblr.

It’s time to start the music and light the lights because we’re joined by professional puppeteer, Jordan Brownlee (he/him), to talk about the world’s most famous felt-based comedy troupe -  THE MUPPETS! We get into the legacy of Jim Henson and his team, how he brought puppetry to an adult sketch variety world, iconic muppet moments, memorable guest stars and the great lengths (and very awkward positions) that muppet performers put themselves through to bring your favorite characters to life. Plus, we discuss the books that we would most love to get ‘the muppet treatment’ and get an inside look on the process of becoming a Muppet performer.
