Listen, ok, listen, this was originally gonna be a straight sequel to Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) but Tanner realized they really missed the mark on Cassie Cain and they kind of have to rebuild the movie from the ground up. Fortunately, they have an idea of letting the girls hit the town and hit a bunch of C-List villains while the Bat Family is occupied - like Cluemaster and...Condiment King!

This week Lindsay is getting right into it with an all-ladies reboot of Kolchak: The Night Stalker. She spends the first chunk of the episode explaining how she's expanding the events of the movies and several novels into full seasons with dramatic arcs, and then at the end Tanner reminds her that it needs to be funny too. Along the way they discuss sexy lady vampires, a miner's strike, and a great name for a drag king. Our friendship promo this week is @TheJunketPod! Our cover art is by Alex ak...

We pod for our friends this week! Garmore has arrived to give us the lowdown on Fire Emblem - specifically Awakening, which they feel is the strongest game and only needs a few key changes to make it excellent. This episode we also engage in tactical shipping, unfreeze a protagonist, and time travel with scene kids. Our friendship promo this week is @The3LWPodcast!

Let's keep going with the RTS train, but we're gonna stay in-genre this time when Tanner reboots Impossible Creatures! It's a game about slamming two animals together to make something charmingly bizarre and sending it off to fight, but Tanner wants to improve on that with environmental bonuses, side missions, and a plot about aliens! As long as we keep things high-pulp we should be okay. Our friendship promo this week is Sparkle Side Chats with @MagicalGirlAyu! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptc...

We've crashed landed on Planet U! Fortunately we can RAID some ROCKS to get shiny green power crystals, but at what cost? Or is this all just a game to teach kids why destroying an environment in the name of colonialism is bad? The only way she and Tanner can learn is by rebooting Lego Rock Raiders!

What's the Secret of NIMH? It's that there's an element added to the movie that truly makes no sense to Tanner, it's NOT just a nit. They're gonna tell Lindsay about how they'll reinforce the themes of the story without relying on plot devices, as well as Bluth's Mormon money and why Jeremy isn't a real name. We will NOT be talking about the sequel, do not mention the sequel. Our friendship promo this week is @ChristmastideOH. Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on pt...

I only hope this episode is as nice as Rebecca's was...wait, this episode is ABOUT Rebecca! Lindsay needs to steer this adaptation in a more sensible direction than the recent one, while still modernizing the concerning overlap regarding sapphic undertones and toxic mother figures. Along the way she'll also talk to Tanner about Jimmy Stewart, Reba McEntire, and a musical that makes sense for the Germans. Our friendship promo this week is for "The Spirit Bares It's Teeth", the new novel by @AJWhi...

Tanner decided to reboot A Knight's Tale but the problem is that it's almost a perfect movie. But we established over our last hiatus that the best way to improve something perfect is to stick it on stage, and fortunately this thing seems custom built to become a Jukebox musical! Lindsay and them will look at alleged 70s songs, ignore historical accuracy, and evoke Jesus' WHYYYYYY. Our friendship promo this week is @cryingbookclub.

Too many cool middle grade fantasy series were swallowed by Pottermania, and this week is one of them: The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine. Lindsay wants to make it a heartfelt pastoral adventure where a young girl learns to believe in herself! We also yell at Disney for causing good art to happen, despite the horrors.

Wise Girls is allegedly a film with a multitude of twists, but there's really just one and it's pretty mid...so Tanner's twisting it up even more!

It is NOT time for the terrible mobile game ads cinematic universe, but the Merge Mansion is such a Resident Evil puzzle catastrophe that it just makes sense for someone to build their Last Fortress underneath it. Lindsay has been inspired by Pedro Pascal joining the Merge Mansion cast to do something with it - a shady soap about a secretive neighbourhood. Lily's Garden is here too, and the king is probably drowned and inside a brick wall! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can b...

We're back and so are the X-Men! Yes we already did an X-Men episode, but this is different because this time it's a Kart racing game! Tanner and Lindsay are gonna pick characters to race, moves for them to unleash on competitors, and what kind of outfits they're gonna wear. And fortunately Tanner's only a little bit of a New Warrior's Head at the same time. Light's green, let's start year five!

It's finally time to close the book on Once Upon a Time. We fought Cora, we redeemed Regina, we killed Rumple, we ended and brought back magic, we found the treasures, and we unleashed an ultimate evil. Now in this final season all we gotta do is rotate our blorbos, give scritches to the first dalmation, and schwoomp some hearts in order to get everyone's Happily Ever After.

Nya! It's time for feline violence this week because Panda has taken control of the show and has a list of demands for making a Warrior Cats animated series, including making the girls better and making the cats queer (good for them). While Lindsay and Tanner are trapped in here, these three will discuss poor little meow-meows, Cat Heaven and Hell, and the naming of cats. Our friendship promo this week is @SporadicPhantom!

There's not much to reboot here because, as returning guest Rem finds out, ReVice is actually a pretty good show (even if Tanner thinks the title rider's palette sucks and Lindsay thinks the Remixes look like weird yoga poses). But that's okay, because we're shipping it off to Aotearoa to remake it for the Power Rangers fans, and as we do we'll discuss sillyness vs seriousness, family units vs shippability, and DEMON DNA.

One time Sam played Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and the ending blew his little kid mind, and also turned him against Mario. So now he wants to make a game where Wario can get everything he deserves - his house, his vengeance, etc - but also slowly lose his mind as the game falls apart around him. Along this buggy path we also discuss completionism, a game theory, and why there are no polycules in L.A.

There's a simple solution: make all the Inhumans trans! Well not really, it's a metaphor. But maybe also literally.

If you've got a big sword and you're getting cancelled on twitter you can star in your very own ReVengeance game. Tanner and Lindsay will learn about Darth Maul lore and the twinks of Devil May Cry, and Theo will learn about TFWiki and Tommy Oliver's thighs. Our friendship promo this week is @cosmopunkpod!

Who was Reynolds? How did Poe die? Was there a raccoon? These questions are answered by the 2012 film The Raven, but Maq didn't like it so she's throwing it out and replacing it with a multi-author murder mystery.

This week Tanner is rebooting a 90s tv show they've never seen and also a 1946 film that they've never seen. But what they do know is that they can slip some gaslighting into a spooky romcom with werewolves and faeries and maybe some UFOs - those last two could be the same thing in Lindsay's opinion. We also put crab people in the Chunnel. Our friendship promo this week is @ChillHavenHigh! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.

Cars! They're everywhere! And even though some people will always prefer them, in general it's better to have robust public transportation. And what better way to teach the children the importance of such social systems than a stop-motion movie starring mice from a children's book?

This Week Lindsay is rebooting Jericho, a show that tried to see what would happen to a small town if the US was suddenly splintered in the wake of an internal attack - but then it got cancelled - twice, no matter how many peanuts you sent in.

This week we're talking about The Skeptics - or are we? Yes. It's a comic miniseries that follows a pair of American youths faking psychic powers during the cold war - and a pair of Russians youths who aren't. Tanner wants to take the premise and expand it, letting them see the problems on both sides of the curtain and look at how it's the governments being cruel and incompetent that ruin everything.
