Riverdale. "The town with pep!" If you're just passing through, you see what they want you to see: white picket fences, manicured lawns, the unmarked chrome of the famous dining car, Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe. Go to Riverdale High, you'll see happy, healthy teens, hitting the books and their extracurriculars with enthusiasm and spunk. It all seems so perfect. ...but stay a little longer, and more will reveal to you. The mysterious death of the high school quarterback. His girlfriend, committed to an asylum. A student sleeping with his teacher. A family fleeing a criminal past. And one man just searching for the truth behind it all, while wearing a very unfortunate hat. You know their names: Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead. But you don't really know them. This week, Eric and Marcus get acquainted with the darkness and angst under the beguiling veneer of Riverdale.

72: Westworld

The term 'Host' is a complicated one. Some hosts are your favorite voices behind a beloved podcast. Others are cold-blooded murder machines programmed to kill. This week on ShamFiction, you'll get a little of both! In this one, Marcus and Andrew (one of whom is actually a bloodthirsty robot, I'll let you guess which one!) are diving into the origins of the hit HBO series Westworld by writing their own versions of the the film that started it all! Yes, in 1973 there was a film called Westworld, written and directed by bestselling author Michael Crichton, and it was chock FULL of deadly automatons! What more could a host ask for!?

When is a book not a book? When it's a season of a Netflix original series of course! In this episode Andrew and Eric cut their way through Marcus' rambling pitch as he talks about The Dragon Prince: Book 1: Moon and gets so excited he doesn't even get to talk about Amaya! He's sorry! TDP for life!
