Every Fan for Himself

It's crazy that television got the nickname "boob tube" before the advent of the internet and before more unsavory industries had the chance to apply it elsewhere. Despite our parents' best efforts, TV played a big role in our childhoods and has maintained some status ever since. Tackling the topic is a tough task, but we three hosts are just delusional enough to think people may want to hear about the shows we've watched. Come along for the ride!

Remember books? They're those things a happier version of yourself used to read. With so many options and opinions, getting into the hobby can be daunting, so let us be your bumbling, ignorant, well-meaning guides. No matter how you read—and yes, listening counts as reading—books are probably better for your eyes, brain, and soul than whatever else you usually waste your time with. Unless you like model trains or something similar. That seems like a wholesome pastime.

or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Play to Relax. Cozy games have been trending, and with falling leaves, dropping temperatures, and perpetual darkness, you deserve some hearty, wholesome escapism.

Close out this scary season with freaky fun facts and figures for frightening friends, family, fans, and foes. We're offering an expansive spread of knowledge, including nuggets from scary movies, AI cannibalism, real cannibalism, and the scariest topic of all: etymology. Happy Halloween from EFFH!

If you're the type of person who actively seeks out opportunities to trick their amygdala into a fear response to generate adrenaline and other fun hormones, you probably have enjoyed or would enjoy a horror video game. Join us as we talk about what we love, what we hate, and what we in-between feel about this distinct genre.

Bigfoot. Yetis. The Loch Ness Monster. What do these things have in common? You guessed it: they're all featured in the romantic fanfiction we're writing (you won't believe who Bigfoot ends up with). Other than that, they also happen to be cryptids. Tune in to hear about some lesser-known cryptids from North America, or to find out what the heck a cryptid is.

There's hardly anything more appropriate for Halloween season than a scary movie, and whether you're a bright-eyed beginner to the genre or a jaded, weathered, desensitized veteran, there's always going to be more to enjoy. We'll let you know what to watch based on how numb you are to external stimuli. Happy haunting!

"Let's watch, a Disney Channel Movie!" You're invited to the first (and possibly only) EFFH DCOM Film Festival. We're bringing our curated lists of movies to the table and telling you why you should care. Opinions will be heard, nostalgia will be stirred, genre lines will be blurred. So pop that corn and cling to the vestiges of a childhood that was gone before you knew how good you had it.

Prepare for trouble, and make it... triple? We're tackling the question that Pokémon fans have been wrestling with for decades: Which generation of Pokémon is the best? Thanks to our sophisticated rating criteria, we're able to definitively answer that question (none of us actually have the same answer).

Yeah, we're thinking we're back! Come re-get to know us for the first time again, now through the lens of our favorite movies—our Rushmores, if you will (the big rock in South Dakota, not the Wes Anderson movie, which didn't make our lists). We also discuss the most overrated movies, with takes ranging all the way from hot to tepid. Enjoy, and make sure to come to our panel at FanX! September 23rd, 5:00.
