    July 11, 2016: Voltron Fandom Airs Its "Dirty Laundry"

    Not again... This week, Emily and V look at yet another time that a fandom cannibalized one of its own because of popularity. This time, it's Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom in the summer of 2016 and the massive fic (an all-time all-AO3 kudo-haver!) "Dirty Laundry" by gibslythe. While we didn't read the fic, and thus our opinions are colored by those of the people who wrote up the drama minute-by-minute and day-by-day as it happened, we predictably have a lot of feelings about how fandom always... effing... does this. Featuring: The Bee Movie, Babe 2: Pig in the City, and Spaaace Chiiiimps.

    July 12, 2013: Pacific Rim Released, Pacific Rim AUs Invented

    Into the drift! This week, V and Emily talk, once again, about a movie that V has never seen but that fandom loves: Pacific Rim. Topics include the Mako Mori Test, why and how this fandom is the victim of Any Two White Guys syndrome, and... Jupiter Ascending? Also, why Pacific Rim: Uprising failed as a sequel and why sometimes filmmakers just getting to play with toys for millions and millions of dollars can be a lot of fun.

    June 20, 1904: Saluton, Morojo! (The Invention of Cosplay)

    Saluton! This week, Emily and V look at the life of one of fandom's under-appreciated heroes: Morojo, AKA Myrtle Rebecca Smith Gray Nolan (née Douglas), the Mother of Cosplay. From her genuine belief in the ability of humankind to be good, like in her favorite scifi stories, to her BANGIN' sewing ability and sweet-ass silk rompersuits, Morojo deserves to be way more well-known in fannish spaces. (And for more than being some dude's girlfriend.) Join us as we celebrate the legacy of one of fandom's founding women. Also: apologies for the unplanned hiatus, this episode was technically VERY messed up and V had to watch so many YouTube tutorials to learn how to salvage it.

    June 14, 2021: The NSFW Episode (Thanks, Batman)

    Holy lunch at the Y, Batman! This week, V and Emily just rate which, if any, superheroes are fuckable, because DC's editorial team made an edict in 2021 that will never, ever, ever, never not be funny.

    June 8, 2024: A Surprise for Emily! (TW Mentions of Suicide, Parental Grief, Religious Control)

    Roll for initiative! This week, V and Emily use the actual "what happened this week in fandom history" event (the USPS released Dungeons & Dragons themed stamps) purely as an excuse to talk about a meatier topic: the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and its effects on fandom... focusing on the writing of one blorbo extraordinaire, Mr. Eddie Munson. Stranger Things did a great job with Eddie and the other nerd characters! The 1980s did NOT do a great job with nerds! And for being the only two people on the internet who don't play DND, we think we did a great job with this topic...! NOTE: This episode was auto-edited by Zencastr, so it may not be as clean as our usual releases. We should be able to go back to human-edited episodes very soon!

    June 3, 2011: Cherik Explodes the X-Men Multiverse

    To us, our X-fandom-historians! This week, Emily and V venture once again into a fandom that has way too many moving parts to understand as they discuss the release of X-Men: First Class and the subsequent multiversal explosion of Cherik (Charles Xavier/Erik Lehnsherr, or Professor X/Magneto) fanworks. Even though this is literally a pairing V has written, we claim no knowledge of the X-Men franchise, because again: there are so many X-men and they are all always doing things. While the internet fandom for the X-Men had been alive before XMFC, as we discussed in our Subreality episode, Cherik really brought it to dizzying new heights because those two men are so, so sad and they should kiss about it. Which version of the X-Men do you like best? NOTE: This episode was auto-edited by Zencastr, so it may not be as clean as our usual releases. We should be able to go back to human-edited episodes very soon! Thank you for your patience and for listening!

    May 25: A Double Nerd Holiday!

    Grab your towel and your hard-boiled egg, nerds! This week, Emily and V look at a double holiday once again, because May 25 is a big day for two big fandoms: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy celebrates Towel Day, while Discworld remembers Sir Terry Pratchett and celebrates the Glorious 25 of May. Both of these hugely influential, beloved book series have spanned decades, genres, and all manner of fans, becoming tentpoles in the worlds of scifi and fantasy. Whether you're hopping from planet to planet with Arthur Dent or patrolling the streets of Ankh-Morpork, there is something about the universe to find joy and connection about on May 25. Would you rather have a towel or an egg?? This episode was edited by our lovely listener @s0apb0xst0ries! Sources Towel Day Glorious 25 of May Terry Pratchett gave us a million dollars for Alzheimer’s research – here’s what we did with it.

    May 19, 1997: Clan Denial Avenges Richie Ryan... On the High Seas

    There can only be one! And that one better fucking be Richie Ryan! This week, V and Emily tackle a requested topic from lovely Patron @elismor and look at the extremely confusing, way-too-many-installments fandom of Highlander. Specifically, Highlander: The Series. And specifically, teenage thief and heartthrob Richie Ryan, and how he was unjustly killed off by canon and revived by the formation of Clan Denial. This fandom-within-a-fandom is also nine inside jokes wearing a trench coat, but that's our favorite thing, so it's a fun romp. Come along with us as we shadow Clan Denial on a cruise! (A real one, on a boat. It's shipping on a ship.) This episode was edited by our equally lovely Patron, @garrideb!
