07/12/22 • 70 min

Heroes, Champions, and Inquisitors unite! Steph (she/her) and Kyah (they/them) talk one of Steph’s favorite fandoms; Dragon Age! We’re chatting about our heroic (or occasionally boring) companions, sexy scorching romances, and complex post-Tolkien fantasy politics! Plus, we touch on the personalization of video game experiences, how Kyah got absolutely trolled by the opening title of Inquisition, which choices were the toughest, and why some characters (*cough* Fenris) are the physical embodiment of sad emo-pop songs (*cough* Simple Plan).

Make a martini (shaken, not stirred) because this week we’re talking with accomplished comic writer and podcast host, Andrew Wheeler (he/him), about the world-famous spy with a license to kill; Bond.

The Fandom Show - 15: MCU (with Liz Johnston)
play

06/28/22 • 73 min

Avengers assemble! We’re talking to comedian and all-around excellent person, Liz Johnston (she/her) about the fandom that she loves (3000), the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We discuss the most iconic heroes and villains, the infamous ‘blip’, the ‘formula’ of making a Marvel film and how they have impacted the current landscape of Hollywood filmmaking. Is Martin Scorsese correct? Does Marvel make art? What even IS art? And, more importantly, why did Falcon and the Winter Soldier have so much boat content? This episode was brought to you by Stark Industries.

The Fandom Show - 18: Star Wars (with Andy Hull)
play

08/09/22 • 73 min

*CHEWBACCA NOISE* We’re talking with Second City comedian and pro-level nerd, Andy Hull (he/him), about his fandom from a galaxy far far away; Star Wars! We kessel-run you through the dark and light sides of the Star Wars universe; why the movies were such a pop culture force, where George Lucas succeeds and fails and how so much of the extended universe, including the Collectible Card Game, has impacted the canon. Plus, we tackle some hot, hot takes on Jedi ethics, prequel problems, Boba Fett’s cool factor, and what it will take to move Star Wars, and the fandom, into the future.

The Fandom Show - 19: Sonic (with Ajahnis Chris)
play

08/23/22 • 62 min

This week, we had an absolute meltdown talking to actor and comedian Ajahnis Charley (they/them) about Sonic The Hedgehog. Did you know that there were exactly THREE BAJILLION characters in the Sonic The Hedgehog universe? We certainly didn’t. Google along as we learn about hedgehog/human romances, ‘chao’ fighting, the treasure trove (or bottomless pit) of Sonic fanfiction and how, in the end, it all comes down to US politics and capitalism. Plus, we jump on the ‘Release The Sad Sonic Cut’ bandwagon, and get our very own ‘sonic-sonas’.

03/15/22 • 62 min

Today we're digging ‘too greedily and too deep’ into the details of the epic trilogy that we both have tattooed on our bodies; the Lord of the Rings movies! Grab your swords, bows and axes as we adventure through the movie adaptations and what they got right. Grab yourself a half-pint at the Green Dragon inn as we discuss our strong Merry and Pippin energy, how Steph’s love of ‘sword women’ led to a legal name change, Peter Jackson’s tendency to set people on fire and why the ‘eagles could have helped’ theory simply shall not pass.

The Fandom Show - 10: Kingdom Hearts (with Travis Ryans)
play

04/19/22 • 67 min

Our friendship is our power! Podcast host and gamer Travis Ryans (they/them) joins us to explain the somewhat confusing and utterly sincere JRPG phenomena that is Kingdom Hearts! We chat about the (literal) elevator pitch that brought the worlds of SquareEnix and Disney together, purchasing keyblades, Donald Ducks sketchy reputation, and why it’s so refreshing to see a series that embraces wholehearted sentimentality in an otherwise pretty “heartless” world.

05/17/22 • 63 min

Yip Yip! Jump on your beloved air bison and get ready for a tour of the four nations because we’re joined by Kevin Vidal (he/him) as we discuss Avatar The Last Airbender!

We talk about the discipline of element bending (and why you shouldn’t use it for chores), how a kids show managed to take on ‘the horrors of war’, what makes something ‘anime’ and why M. Night Shyamalan’s weirdly gritty adaptation did absolutely everything wrong. This episode has been brought to you by Cabbage Corp.

The Fandom Show - 32: Arcane (with Edward Choi)

02/21/23 • 72 min

Throw on your steampunk gauntlets, because this week we’re talking to comedian, engineer and self-proclaimed “first Korean head writer of Heartland until CBC says otherwise”, Edward Choi (he/him). about one of the best video game adaptations ever made - ARCANE. We chat about the worldwide appeal of gaming juggernaut League of Legends, how the showrunners managed to distill a decade worth of game lore into a beautiful universal narrative, the jaw-dropping animation of Studio Fortiche and how Arcane changed hearts and minds on the deeply divisive subject of Imagine Dragons. Plus, the deeply chaotic way Steph woke Kyah up for an entire month.
