Actually Pretty Typical

WEEWOOO WEEEWOOOO!! That’s right, this week we’re talking SIRENS! Introducing Clu’s hot older brother and a beloved cast member from Firefly! We discuss the trajectory of scary birds who appeal to the male ego in order to murder, all the way to sexy singers surrounded by horny old men in polo shirts getting hard! Carlos tries to list famous jewels! Alison is here to yuck-your-yums! Still waiting for Carlos to endorse her on Linkedin. Implied babes. We meet Glob Prime, manager to the stars! Coded musical queues! What are the powers of a Siren? Are they immortal? Scobby Doo rules apply to all teenagers, if they leave the room they are going to bang. And finally, a very important update: Alison still hasn’t watched Barry!!!

Welcome to episode 2! Were you expecting to hear about Ryan Gosling and the robot apocalypse, well BUCKLE UP!! Carlos scratches the surface of the question of AI and Alison gives us her philosophy on the subject: Don't be shitty to robots! A major bomb is dropped in this episode about a new member of the So Weird family. Carlos sings! Is EVD leaving the show?!? We speculate wildly. We get into the absolute GALL of Squatch, child endangerment, car problems, taking the driving test, and our WORST green screen so far! Mackenzie Phillips over Ryan Gosling any day, all day. Shoutout to @UCSantaCruz and don't forget to edit that Wiki for Paul Lynch, Sweirdos!

We’re baaaaaack!!! The long wait is over and Alison and Carlos are ready to shower you with the sweet melodic sounds of complaints and opinions about one of the world’s greatest artistic treasures: Disney’s So Weird. Let’s get into it! This season opener is a doozy. Molly and her family have a home! Fiona has an irl friend! We discuss the shady business of Mediums and Carlos finally gets to talk about Houdini!!! Get ready for a Joe Dirt and Flags of Our Fathers recap! Will Alison relate every episode of this season to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Hercules Legendary Journeys? Will Carlos find a perfect metaphor in his favorite video game or episode of West World?! You’ll have to listen to find out - unless you’re a MEDIUM?!?!

Surprise! It’s time to dive in to Lords of Dogtown..For Tweens! We’re back with guests (Alexis Gay from way back in the day, and Michelle Morales from well...now!) We dive into our DCOM love and explore Alexis’ never-ending, abiding love of EVD (despite how much of a sociopath Brink can be). We talk about how Gabriela is the REAL hero of the movie (and Brink should not get off that easy…) and imagine the sequel set 20 years later, starring Brink and Val’s daughter...also wtf this was based off of a novel from 1865???!!

Catch Alexis and Alison performing with Happy Medium Improv (happymediumimprov.com)

Also catch Michelle performing with Classic Diane at Endgames on their Harold Nights! (endgamesimprov.com)

The time has come, as we explore the haunted halls of [hospital name redacted]. Ghost EMF Phone App: Prepped. Bodies: Corporeal (For Now). Vivian guides us through the maze of bewilderment and horror (also some styrofoam boxes and IT Equipment) as we try to channel a ghost and become the Fiona’s we all knew we were.

We review the final episode of this season with a special guest (Vivian Nguyen) in a haunted hospital! Listen as our guest guides us through the spirit world and we talk about whatever a Will-o'-the-wisp is, pool sharks, ghost hunting, and we still don’t know Gorb’s name (and we never will!). We learn that being Scottish apparently looks the same as being super high and that plain bagels are the food of the gods for fairies! This episode establishes that the spirit world is after our heroine, but will Henry Winkler stop with the offensive accents, and will Rupaul go for our ghost hunting show pitch ( The Ultimate Death Drop: Now available on itunes)? We will have to check back next season for these answers and more! Stay tuned for a special BONUS ghost hunt episode where we explore some secret rooms in the spooky hospital and really push our guest’s patience to the limits!

Vivian LOVES the supernatural and when she’s not fantasizing about Sasquatch or Christian rock you can catch her performing with Endgame’s Harold team, Classic Diane!

What’s up Cyber-Weenies, it’s Astral Projection v2! No, not really, it’s just a lady in a coma talking through the internet. At the very least, our boys Clu and Jack discover their true calling as hackey sack artists and we discover the power of wingdings! Fiona solves a mystery using the most boring computer game we’ve ever seen. We get the feeling Winkler stiffed Erik on this one cause this ep was definitely poised for a Matrix-style cyberspace romp. Alison gives us another BuffyBuffs update! Also tweet at us about car stuff cause we LOVE it!

Fiona enters a time warp as moral dilemmas about science almost drive Carlos and Alison apart as we share our sports horror stories. Kingdom Hearts and Groundhog’s Day time travel rules mess with our heads. We discussed “Who’s Cancelled?” and dunk on Bill Murray, prove me wrong on Bill Murray (but Not Chevy Chase). Also, why the hell are there so many Frasier fans?

We start this episode with a SHOCKING UPDATE about our personal hero, EVD. What is a Tulpa? We sort of find out in this episode centered around a tiny, dickish, Judd Nelson with a super sad backstory. We learn that Roadhouse was based on Squatch’s life. Chatrooms! What are they? We finally reveal our true feeling about people with glasses. John Cho! So-weird-men! Believe people when they tell you about their Tulpas. White ladies overstepping! GHOST DAD?!! Join us as we discuss all of that and more. Don’t forget to subscribe and rate APT! While you’re there please @UCarlossus with any and all complaints. #JumpInaLakeBecauseYoureOnFire @JohnTheCho

Molly finally gets her own episode- but at what cost?! Welcome to the first episode of the preeminent Animorphs podcast, Fanimorphs! Welcome also to the preeminent Alison explaining Buffy podcast, Buf-fans! Also in this episode we discuss fancy man accents, spoon fed plot, diabetes conspiracies, and grandmas using fax machines. So Weird gets real! We also learn a great way to look smart is to rattle off some Etruscan. Fi ruins everything! Parents are dumb! This episode is really sad. We pitch our idea for the sequel to the American classic, 13 Going On 30. Is Henry Winkler immortal from buying young blood? Do we talk about the ecological implications of immortality as well as Paul Rudd? Did we just rhyme on accident??? Listen to find out.
