That’s right, it’s one of our favorite movie series, about one of our favorite things, the movie we waited five years for them to make…and it only took us eight months to watch it. FINALLY.

Massive great big SPOILERS ahoy as we break down everything we loved about How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. (The animation! The cave world! The romance! The fight scenes! The bit where Toothless does the dance!)

And then, once we started repeating ourselves, we switched gears to talk about Bojack Horseman, Erin Morgenstern’s The Starless Sea, North Carolina Comicon, and what the heck do you call a four book series?

This week’s outro music is a clip from the Hidden World soundtrack by John Powell.

Here’s the Kit Harington/Toothless promo, because it’s the best.

Here’s a link to the Ruffnut/Fishlegs fan art Elizabeth was talking about, which the artist drew back in 2010.

Turns out you call a four book series a “quartet” or a “tetralogy” if you’re feeling fancy. 

Here’s a link to the Tea Dragon Society Kathryn was talking about.

Correction: Elizabeth mentioned Fishlegs crying at the funeral. She meant wedding! She always does that!

In this week’s recap, the story of time working normally in Night Vale continues as the town is caught up in cryogenic fever. Meanwhile, Cecil scrambles to find ten thousand dollars to pay cryogenics entrepreneur Casper Rhodes, because by God Cecil and Carlos are going to have themselves frozen so they can cheat death and live happily forever and everything will be fine.

After an excellent episode of sudden plot twists and Night Vale horoscopes that are actually nice to Capricorns for a change, the twins talk about Carnival Row (will you guys please turn up the friggin’ lights?), the Limetown TV show, Bojack Horseman, an Instagram 30-day drawing challenge, and how we’re really and truly going to watch the final How To Train Your Dragon movie this week. Really. It’s gonna happen this time, honest.

This week’s outro music is a clip from Voyage to Pluto (Dreamworld remix) by Prism.

Correction: Oops, Carnival Row wasn’t based on a book series, it was based on a movie script, according to Bustle.

As the well-organized podcast we are, seeing as how this episode drops on Halloween, we recorded an episode all about our favorite Halloween traditions. HA. Kidding. We totally forgot what day it would be posted until the end of the episode.

Instead, we talked about the one “unforgivably cheesy” moment in Stranger Things; about how 90s nostalgia is 80s nostalgia with a hangover; about how “Polly just can’t have nice things” on Peaky Blinders (SPOILERS); the 1930s movie Freaks being a genre to itself; clever Halloween costumes; and how we recently tried to outdo each other with scary youtube clips AND NOW WE’RE HIDING UNDER THE BED.

This week’s outro music is a clip from Retro Future Nights by TeknoAXE.

 

Disturbing content warning! The Selfie From Hell short film we mentioned is here, and the Nun trailer is here, and the Robin Williams One Hour Photo clip is here. (The Selfie one and One Hour Photo one are possibly not safe for work on account of being disturbing. The One Hour Photo one has a LOT of gore.)

Correction: Regarding Peaky Blinders, at one point we referred to Thomas Shelby as Polly Grey’s brother; he’s actually her nephew, which honestly makes him arranging Polly’s marriage even more strange.

We’ll be honest, when we saw the title of this week’s Welcome To Night Vale episode we hoped it would be a nifty wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey, Doctor Who-themed story with some Night Vale weirdness mixed in. But the writers love to defy expectations, so instead we got a lighthearted story about everyone in the town dealing with the truth of human existence, the body’s inevitable decline, and the inescapable reality of death.

HAPPY FALL EVERYONE.

After we recapped, there’s also some discussion of Peaky Blinders, Carnival Row, the Limetown TV show, and the 1997 horror movie Event Horizon.

Oh, and the new Star Wars trailer dropped while we were recording. YOU GUYS, THE NEW STAR WARS TRAILER JUST DROPPED. LET’S GO WATCH IT NOW.

This week’s outro music is a clip from Take Wing by The Polish Ambassador.

If you’re interested in a chilling tale of cryonics, broken promises, and an almost inhuman case of denial, give a listen to the episode of This American Life that Kathryn mentioned, “Mistakes Were Made”

There’s a whole collection of photomanipulations of Kylo Ren’s lightsaber here.

Also one of Rey’s double-bladed lightsaber. (Heh. You know what they’re calling it? A Sith Army Knife. LOL.)

 

AND LET’S NOT FORGET THE  NEW TRAILER

There is just way too much stuff to catch up with lately! And by “lately” sometimes we mean “2009.”

Kathryn is three episodes into Peaky Blinders so Elizabeth has to dance around spoilers since she finished the whole season last week. But that’s okay, Kathryn’s been telling Elizabeth to watch the RiffTrax Twilight commentary for ten years and she finally got around to it. (It was worth the wait.)

After that they talk about the new hosts of Great British Bake Off (“new” meaning “two years ago”), discuss cosplay problems (Miles Kimball: yall suck) and then continue to say the same thing they always say about Carnival Row: “some of it is very pretty” and “when you can see what’s going on anyway WILL SOMEONE TURN ON A DAMN LIGHT.”

The mesh we mentioned that the furries use for their fursuit eyes is buckram.

Correction: RiffTrax did indeed record commentary for ALL the Twilight movies! They’re next on our list.

This week we recap the final episode of “The Heist” storyline, and the whole thing wrapped up neatly although NOT THE WAY WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO. Geez, Night Vale writers, give us a heart attack why don’t you…

Believe it or not, the recap only takes up the first ten minutes of this podcast. The rest is a We Can’t Stop Digressing special as we talk about the new Picard trailer (practical makeup versus digital effects), the new season of Peaky Blinders (they haven’t brought back Alexander Siddig’s character and we’re not happy about it), Carnival Row (the show should really consult with some furries about the best way to make digitigrade legs), and Elizabeth’s trip to California Adventure Park (did YOU know George Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch has a winery?)

Correction: We spent so much time talking about how much we liked this week’s Weather that we forgot to say what it was. It’s “Good Luck with That” by Fathom All the Animals.
