Hyperfixation: A Queer Fandom Podcast

Happy Pride from Briikasak! Pour yourself some sweet liquor and befriend a Zabrak, we are finally talking about Aftermath by Chuck Wendig. Cork explains the book's background and the controversy around it. Marika makes some T2 connections and fancasts Lucy Lawless. Everyone got a bit chaotic because it's Pride. 



Briikasak is a Mando'a word meaning a social gathering among comrades during difficult times. In Briikasak: A Mandalorian Podcast, three queer comrades with varying degrees of Star Wars knowledge socially gather to discuss The Mandalorian, Mandalorian lore, and Star Wars in general. 

The Briikasak gang talks about what was announced at Star Wars Celebration 2022. The Mandalorian has a release date and a trailer! Is Bo-katan the big bad? Who are all these other Mandos? How much of Clone Wars are we including? Also, an Andor trailer, Obi-wan has started, Jedi: Fallen Order has a sequel, the Taika Waititi movie, and there is something called Skeleton Crew.

Marika picks a variety pack of comics she wanted to talk about for the second Mutant May episode. Cork has their first foray into the Claremont era, which is not Marika’s favorite, with Days of Future Past. Then a gay jaunt in space with the Marauders and a teaser for what the current X-men era is like with Mystique just wanting her wife back.

It's a Marika Mutant May Bonus Episode! Bret wanted us to pick what our mutant powers would be while others guessed. And because its a Briikasak Bonus Episode, we also played fuck marry kill X-men edition! We killed Jean Gay for the good of society, Bret comes up with some excellent mutant codenames, and we all decide Din is a bottom.

Happy Marika Mutant May! Briikasak returns to the X-Men with the incredibly gay Iceman (2018). He goes on Grindr dates, he makes dad jokes, he very seriously helps Emma Frost save her brother from abuse and conversion therapy. Bret didn't do the reading, Cork is interested in all these queer side characters, and spoilers for Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness.

The gang concludes the Republic Commando series, with a book that was so bad only Cork read it: Imperial Commando: 501st. Darman and Niner become hitmen, the women stay in the kitchen on Mandalore, only men can play soccer, and the plot is MIA. Bye, Karen.

Cork has another crazy theory and attempts to predict what will happen in Star Wars media going forward. Or why Thrawn matters, unfortunately. Topics include the Chiss Ascendancy, the Grysk, the nipple-loving Yuuzhan Vong, and possibly Grogu the Mandalore leading everyone in a fight against Thanos.

The gang finally finishes Republic Commando: Order 66. Etain dies in an incredibly stupid way. Most of Clan Skirata deserts. Dar fully dissociates and stays behind with ace superhero Niner. And Karen is as sexist as always.

The gang continues with the poorly named Republic Commando: Order 66. Everybody's getting married, Coruscant is invaded, there is carpet in the psych ward, and Cork might be shipping Kal and Vau.

The gang returns to the Republic Commando series for more clone drama, bad Mandalorian dads, bad-ass forensic accounting, and sexism. Dar finally learns that he's a dad, but at what cost? Are all the women slowly becoming nothing more than wives? Are the clones slowly getting more violent?
