Visions of Television Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

It's crazy that television got the nickname "boob tube" before the advent of the internet and before more unsavory industries had the chance to apply it elsewhere. Despite our parents' best efforts, TV played a big role in our childhoods and has maintained some status ever since. Tackling the topic is a tough task, but we three hosts are just delusional enough to think people may want to hear about the shows we've watched. Come along for the ride!

A New Fiction Primer Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

Remember books? They're those things a happier version of yourself used to read. With so many options and opinions, getting into the hobby can be daunting, so let us be your bumbling, ignorant, well-meaning guides. No matter how you read—and yes, listening counts as reading—books are probably better for your eyes, brain, and soul than whatever else you usually waste your time with. Unless you like model trains or something similar. That seems like a wholesome pastime.

Horror Gaming Crash Course Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

If you're the type of person who actively seeks out opportunities to trick their amygdala into a fear response to generate adrenaline and other fun hormones, you probably have enjoyed or would enjoy a horror video game.

Cryptid Tidbits Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

Bigfoot. Yetis. The Loch Ness Monster. What do these things have in common? You guessed it: they're all featured in the romantic fanfiction we're writing (you won't believe who Bigfoot ends up with). Other than that, they also happen to be cryptids. Tune in to hear about some lesser-known cryptids from North America, or to find out what the heck a cryptid is.

Horror at Every Level Oct 10, 2023

We'll let you know what to watch based on how numb you are to external stimuli. Happy haunting!

Show notes

Yeah, we're thinking we're back!

We also discuss the most overrated movies, with takes ranging all the way from hot to tepid. Enjoy, and make sure to come to our panel at FanX! September 23rd, 5:00.
