Not My Type

On one of the more catastrophic episodes of the podcast, we attempt to take a couple of Stargate: SG-1 quizzes. Jessie loves Stargate; Ryan couldn't pronounce Goa'uld if his life depended on it. They both want to find out which SG-1 characters they are, but fate has other plans....

This week's episode: Warning track, wall, Touchdown!!! The score is now 30 love and the players have 7 minutes of extra time. Wait. None of those words are the sport we are fandoming this week. Ryan finally gets to talk about basketball, and Jessie gets to pretend to know what he is talking about. Come found out what NBA legend they are, what position they should play, and if nothing else what team they should be rooting for. Now let’s strap on our face masks and Play Ball!

Avatar: The Last Airbender finally got added to Netflix, and we've been binging the entire series. We're obsessed, and so we're (naturally) devoting this episode to Aang, Katara, Sakka, Appa, Momo, Toph, Zuko, Iroh, et al. First we find out what kind of benders we are, then which characters we most closely relate to. We wrap up by finding out what everyone ACTUALLY wants to know—who is our ATLA soulmate? Plus, a long tangent about sky bison from Jessie, who wept profusely during Appa's Lost Days (who didn't).

QUIZ: The Final Frontier. These are the Star Trek quizzes of the Not My Type podcast. It's three-quiz mission? To discover which characters we are. To seek out the colors of our uniforms and our proper star ship captains. To boldly quiz a fandom we have not explored before! That's right—we're finally venturing into the world(s) of Star Trek. We may both agree that Jean-Luc Picard is the one true captain, but can we agree on who the worst character in Star Trek is? Yes, yes we can.

Today on the podcast: MARVEL. Superheroes. Magic. Yes, it is another fandom. Yes, we have decided to just focus on fandoms for a while. Yes, we have more fun doing fandoms. Join us as we find out which Marvel superhero would be our best friends, and which Marvel villains we are. Plus a discussion of pasta.

On this last episode of May We Have a Fandom, we revisit one of our all-time favorite fandoms: Disney. We head to Oh My Disney to find out which Disney sidekick we are, then hurry back to Buzzfeed to take an unconventional quiz: a Disney Princess murder mystery. Our sleuthing may leave something to be desired, but at least our horoscopes this week don't.

We're unofficially titling this episode "Schur, Why Not?" Michael Schur has created a number of huge hits: The Office, The Good Place, Parks and Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine.... So it seemed only appropriate to dedicate this May We Have a Fandom to the Schur Shows. Join us as we find out which Parks and Rec character we are, where we belong in The Office, and whether or not we would actually make it into the Good Place.

Welcome to the WHEDONVERSE! This week's episode is all things Joss Whedon ... and by 'all things', we mean pretty much just Buffy and Firefly. We find out which Buffy character, which Firefly character, and which Whedonverse heroine we are. ALSO: Jessie discusses her short and long journey from not wanting video games to obsessively hunting down a Nintendo Switch. The reason? Animal Crossing.

Introducing ... MAY we have a fandom! Every week in May will be a fandom-themed episode of the podcast. Jessie and Ryan kick off the fandom extravaganza with (in Ryan's opinion) the best fandom of all time: Musical Theater. On this dense-with-musical-references episode, Jessie and Ryan explore their inner Broadway .... and their inner Patti Lupones.

Jessie and Ryan finally venture into the vast world of Lord of the Rings quizzes. First up is an exhaustive (and exhausting) journey to discover which LOTR character they are. Next, a Not My Novel segment dedicated to LOTR fanfic. And, finally, which weapon will Jessie and Ryan wield in Middle Earth? All this—and trees—on this greenery heavy episode of the show.
