Crossover Appeal

#YayHamlet! We're celebrating the palindromic birthday of A. Ham with a crossover inspired by the most positive "shouting from a car" incident in modern history. Join us as we experiment with new synopsis techniques, lament over insufficiently nuanced bustle discourse, and get to the bottom of the nefarious Banana Train.

Annie and Walt recover from the holidays with their first-ever listener suggested crossover! We mash up two beloved mid 2000s TV shows with surprising political trajectories, admit to the limits of our French knowledge, and create a hot new a capella band that'll be tearing up the charts. Don't make a huge mistake: join us!

It's a Holiday Secular Christmas Spooktacular! Annie and Walt take a look at the two stories that have more or less defined American Christmas, and have a harder time finding places where they DON'T cross over with one another. Spooky ghost voices are employed, reverse ghostly-guidance is examined, and the most regrettably irresistible Battledome fight yet is surrendered to. Happy Holidays!

We're coming at you from Walt's old bedroom in Pittsburgh, PA, complete with a spooky origin story. To stave off maid-ghosts, we mash up an uplifting animated tale of Viking Goodness with a Korean fever-dream of axe-fight meanness. Bewilderbeast taxonomy is debated, Walt goes questing for the perfect pun, and a call to action is issued for all you designers out there.

Paging Doctor Dinosaur! After a week like this last one, Walt and Annie are ready for any excuse to escape into a fantasy world, even if said world involves occasionally getting conned by three raptors in a trench coat. While they're there, they'll break down TV's greatest grandmas, and introduce Annie's personal JP theme song.

Walt and Annie get over a sick day and some residual Halloween spookiness, with the help of Yubaba's Spirit Bathhouse, our inaugural ride in the TARDIS, and a deep consideration of whether those three bouncing heads will ever find love.

It's HP meets HP on a spooktacular first Halloween edition of Crossover Appeal! Walt and Annie discuss why Halloween episodes are the best episodes, play some seasonally-appropriate crossover games, and determine that Luna Lovegood holds the true key to the Lovecraft mythos. Plus: a Hermione-related misstep leads to the creation of a beloved new character.

These ARE the crossovers you're looking for: Annie and Walt bring their first novel into close proximity with a galaxy far, far away, with the first of (probably) many Star Wars installments. Bad father figures abound, as do baronets, Hutt intrigue, and Wookies on the streets of Bath. Insert pun on the word "persuasion" here!

Clear eyes. Full hearts. STACKER PENTECOST. It's the battle of the testosterone toastmasters, as Walt and Annie cross over small-town Texas life with big-time kaiju battling. Eventually, a debate arises over just how much we'd be willing to do if Coach told us to.

It's Maslanys and Babadooks all the way down, as Walt and Annie imagine a time-hopping and conspiracy-riddled universe of non-practicing circus folk and librarian doctors. Plus: an ice-cream truck story with a shocking twist!
