This week Lindsay is taking us to an alternate Victorian era where the supernatural is common place. A woman is dating a hot werewolf scotsman and a vampire is dating a man with a very silly name, and they'll all have to fight a giant robot octopus. Or maybe a mummy octopus. Also discussed are Tom Hiddleston being tall, a gondola chase, and manifesting AMVs. Our friendship promo this week is @MementoMPodcast!

X is the tenth number and the coolest letter, so if Tanner is rebooting the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise we gotta start off by sending Mr. Knifey-Hands himself to space! Where does the sci-fi end and the dreams beginning? What are the dangers of cyber-weed? Is this also an accidental Event Horizon remake? All these and more will be answered this week. Our friendship promo this week is @StFleurPod? Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com. Our theme music...

Have you heard of Guinevere Jones? Of course not, no one has except for Lindsay, and her interest in it led to her digging deep into the history of Guinevere and some cyclical English old gods? Anyway we're gonna work that into this middle grade show while looking at the dangers of nostalgia and living vicariously through children. Also discussed are being born to play a bad boy, Tanner's power rangers blog, and TWO surprise cast reveals. Our friendship promo this week is @DaggerMagic! Our cover...

Once upon a time there was a very special espionage-comedy series. Now it works for Tanner, because they're rebooting it. They're taking bits and pieces of the 2019 Charlie's Angels film and making the movie that should've been created instead, thanks to the returning 00s trio. Lindsay and them will also discuss who gets to be Jason Borne, tactical sexiness, and dying in a fiery pit. Our friendship promo this week is Sword of Symphonies from @PeachGardenRPGs!

Uh...well, something's gone wrong and our longtime friends Cassidy and Lava from Kids and Their Dog may have ended their podcast just in time to anger some kind of podcast deity. Well, as long as they're here, we might as well figure out what they should do next? Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.

Bats! Bats! They'll send you to the Thirty Years War! This week Lindsay tackles 1632, a fascinating look at what would happen if a West Virginia mining town was dropped in the middle of Europe at war. She'll tune it up by making the small town less idealized and promoting some more interesting royals to regulars. Also discussed is time as an art medium, roasting the Habsburgs, and Prussian Blue. Our friendship promo this week is @TalesYetTold! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work c...

This week's topic not only writes itself, but it's already been written. The only way Tanner could think of to spice of Pride and Prejudice - Muppets! That's right, Piggy is Liz and Kermit is a scrungly little scrimblo of a Darcy, and everyone else...well, you'll just have to wait and see. We also discuss Muppet Babies Exclusives, the Jonas Brothers Mansion, and Loooong John. Our friendship promo this week is @eqpoints!

This episode is a reboot of The Secret Circle, but borrowing a lot from The Craft. Lindsay is rebuilding the whole thing to be about grody outcasts in the late 90s who don't look like extruded hunk product messing with things beyond their ken and getting into messy queer relationships with each other. Also discussed are fulling in love at an anime convention, Mrs. Carmody-type figures, and the Degrassi LARPing subplot. Our friendship promo this week is @tgiapodcast! Our cover art is by Alex aka ...

This week is basically just Tanner loredumping on Lindsay about Magic: The Gathering so that they can turn everything on its head and make it a high school anime AU where all the Planeswalkers are TEEEEEEEENS. Also discussed is a bara lion, being too miserable to fuck, and no perverts. Our friendship promo this week is @rollgayroleplay!

This week we're gonna TEST OUR MIGHT with help from Jake Mason, because it's time for Mortal Kombat! 2! We're taking the things we liked from the 2021 movie (which is most of it, including the silly stuff) and actually going to the tournament this time around - with a few newcomers, and also - Friendship?! Also discussed are very specific accents, furry awakenings, and the Vypra Memorial Award for Best Worst Line Reading. Our frienship promo this week is @ChosenOnesDnD! Our cover art is by Alex ...

Here we go again - again! Tanner's listened to every ABBA song and is using their skills to turn them alchemy-like into a third Mamma Mia movie - this time with 100% more trans themes! (It helps that a lot of the songs have applicable subtext). Along the way they'll talk with Lindsay about censoring Amelie, an imagine spot inside a flashback, and BUSINESS! Our friendship promo this week is @nikoliskitchen! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com. Our theme m...

It's a short one this week because, as we found out between now and recording, Lindsay got COVID. But she powered through to save Club Dumas from a terrible adaptation with terrible people and bring back the important part: a weird mean lady convincing herself that you can summon the devil with a lost Musketeer book. She's wrong, except when she's right, and also a hot fallen angel might be here. Our friendship promo this week is @roomwherepod! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work ...

This week we have special guest Kit Walker here to tell us all about Star Trek - Tanner and Lindsay didn't know much before, but now we know all about Kirk and Spock being extremely married in the original Star Trek IV. But this is the reboot Star Trek - we're gonna Kelvin these whales! Listen to us discuss inventing time travel in college, putting spicy rocks in water, and Karl Urban letting the spirit Deforrest Kelley posses him. Our friendship promo this week is @TheArchivesPod! Our cover art...

This week's episode is just a cheap copy - with guns! Guest Isiah is here to tell us all about Shadow the Hedgehog and his ten distinct non-canonical origins, and then he's gonna makes them all canonical as well as improve this game and the ones surrounding it. The trick, you see, is to lean into the edge just enough to make things interesting. Along the way we'll listen to 2004 pop music, determine what a Homestuck fan is, and find the computer room. Our friendship promo this week is @IdealRema...
Jan 23, 2022•1 hr 5 min•Ep. 168
This week Tanner is rebooting Shadow Raiders! Or War Planets. It's going from a children's cgi space opera to an adult live-action space opera, not to mention getting two more seasons to actually finish the plot of the show. We're gonna make sure everyone can be live action except the moe bug girl, and maybe make Femur's horniness more palatable. Also discussed are Fire x Ice shipping, a really big gun, and the hottest lizard you've ever seen. Our friendship promo this week is @JoinTheWeird! Our...
Jan 16, 2022•56 min•Ep. 167
We continue our superhero trend this week by looking at some children of the atom. Lindsay is taking Claremont's X-Men and turning them into the soap opera they deserve to be, because comics are wild and X-Men are the most. She's also making sure there's room enough to talk about all the famous X-Men plots and Dark Phoenix, but mainly as a way to bring her fav character in. She and Tanner will also discuss Mr. Clean, space throuples, and of course, punches from the punch dimension. Our friendshi...

If you save the podcast, you save the world! This week Tanner is taking the 2006 sci-fi drama Heroes and giving it room the breath the way it didn't before. Some characters are gone, some are combined, and if they're black they're definitely getting a better deal than before (and unfortunately that's not a high bar to clear). Also discussed are Regina Mills disease, web exclusive content, and the inherent eroticism of being a Vulcan. Our friendship promo this week is @WeFixSpaceJunk! Our cover a...

This week, all by herself, Lindsay stands alone (with Tanner) as she reboots Quest for Camelot. 'Tis a silly movie, but the source material seems a little bit better, and could probably make for a more interesting movie - though we're gonna keep the blind love interest and a snarky bird. Probably not Bladebeak though. Also assembled are weird woman in the woods, a nasty steampunk gryphon, and all the people in Southwest Manitoba that Lindsay shouldn't date. Our friendship promo this week is @mag...
Dec 26, 2021•41 min•Ep. 164
This week Tanner is making some adjustments to Jingle Jangle, a movie from last year that they almost liked - but it could use a tune-up with the themes and a boost with the christmas-ness, and maybe some more repeated musical queues. Lindsay and them will also discuss the beyblade ripcord on your flying machine, putting a kaiju in, and real numbers. Our friendship promo this week is @ReachThePodcast! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com. Our theme music ...

Enter the mysterious Canadian Edutainment-horizon of Black Hole High - er, or Strange Days at Blake Holesy High? Either way, we're taking this kid's teen show and giving it the CW treatment. The arcs are tightened, the weirdness is ramped up, the cast is gayer, and we're still solving a love triangle via clones. Lindsay and Tanner will teach each other about skyfish, good vs. bad conspiracies, and Limp Bizkit. Our friendship promo this week is @ChillhavenHigh! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptche...

This week, Tanner had a bit of an existential crisis trying to figure out how to reboot Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, a film built entirely on the romcom landscape and celebrity disconnect of 2004. It's hard to replicate nowadays, but shifting around some mediums and making the characters less terrible could help. Him and Lindsay will also discuss your one miserable friend, the real life version of "Fast Car", and the Fighting Hokies. Our friendship promo this week is @ThePodcastMines! Our cover...
Dec 05, 2021•46 min•Ep. 161
This week we ask: what is a biopic if not well-funded RPF? Linday is gonna tell Tanner all about Joe Beyrle, an Amerikinski Komrade who went through a lot of stuff during WWII before ending up fighting alongside the Red Army. It's war, so it's hell, but there's also a lot of bureaucratic comedy to be found here. Our friendship promo this week is @Tinsel_Tunes!

Tanner did not like Far From Home! Tanner thought it had some good elements but ultimately went completely against everything Homecoming stood for! So now they're gonna turn it inside out, get rid of all the St. Tony stuff, and steer it closer to the text while retaining the elements we've already established. Maybe even set up a new third movie? Lindsay and them will also discuss Rugby injuries (described 29:00 to 32:00), getting punched in the face with dopamine, and hey - what happened to Ton...

This week our guest Theo has roped us into a heist, in order to reprogram the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remaster into a full-on remake. The morality of it is a mess, so he's gonna walk us through all the things that will help make your party member's reactions to you more realistic (and also let you date the catgirl). Also discussed is the Ayn Rand of the Jedi, wedging a man to death, and the one episode of Spongebob where he forgets everything except fine dining and breathing. Our ...

Bleh bleh bleh! It's Twilight time! Lindsay's decided that Steph actually made an interesting setting...and then completely disregarded it in favour of bad love triangles. So we're gonna change things up! Now Alice is the manic pixie dream girl and Bella's a jock, the Volturi are a real threat, and werewolves are significantly less racist. Also discussed are going to Denmark, a vampire cowboy, and 17 different college degrees. Our friendship promo this week is @AfterbitePod! Our cover art is by ...

Deeeaaad Rising! It's not a realistic game series, but it is a fun one - at least the first two are. Tanner wants to take the series back to it's roots while also moving it forward, which means it's time for a cruise! Them and Lindsay are heading out to sea to combine the horrors of zombies, boats, and capitalism. Also discussed are nasty dolphins, a great deal at Home Hardware, and asexual pirates who don't want your booty. Our friendship promo this week is @bastard_podcast! Our cover art is by...

What happens when you mix together a slasher film, a proto-goth girl, and a regency romance? This week's topic, where Lindsay has created a new horror flick from Jane Austen's novel Northanger Abbey! It works really well since there are a bunch of marriageable young people stuck in a house with nothing to do but plot and swoon. Of course neither she nor Tanner actually watch much horror, so they kinda guess for some stuff, but they still make things gruesome! They also dunk on British measuring ...
Oct 24, 2021•37 min•Ep. 155
It's Christine! The nastiest car metaphor for a toxic relationship, or drugs, or a haunted vagina. Tanner wants to turn one of their favourite Stephen King novels into a miniseries, and to do it they're gonna make it modern, make it make sense, and make it gay! Linday's along for the ride too to discuss shitty greasers, getting cucked by a car, and marrying a nice man who drives a civid. Our friendship promo this week is @SporadicPhantom! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be...

REDWAAAALLLL is the topic of this week's episode! Lindsay really wanted to get a new animated series...and then she found out she was! No really, the "Over the Garden Wall" guy is doing one. So in that case...puppets, I guess? Tanner loves puppets. Also discussed are Chwistianity, marzipan, and sword-wielding mouse gateway books. Our friendship promo this week is @DeathByDyingPod!
