Pure Fandom

Star Wars Theory Series is hosted by PureFandom.com co-founder Liz Prugh and her brother Patrick Pochop (talking about Star Wars is one of the only ways she can get him to hang out with her). They frequently have their other two brothers, dad, and Liz’s husband and self-proclaimed Star Wars experts as guest hosts. They’re dedicated to putting a fun and comedic spin on each episode. 

Guys, DECEMBER IS HERE! We are now hours away from the release of Episode VIII: The Last Jedi in the U.S. We've been podcasting about the Star Wars fandom for the past year and have discussed some very likely—and very crazy—theories for The Last Jedi. Join us for a spoiler-free discussion on what we know about the film so far, the latest theories, and to get excited for the weekend we've all been waiting for!

Tune in for a spoiler-free discussion on The Last Jedi:

-Who Benicio Del Toro's character really is and how he could be they key to the "big twist" of the film;

-Rey's parents: They theory we're still believing is true;

-Why they definitely shouldn't re-make the prequels and why;

-What the new trilogy, helmed by Rian Johnson (who is also Episode VIII's director), is most likely about;

-How the series is steering more and more towards Old Republic;

and much more!

Welcome back, Helsingers! Vanessa is still AWOL and the rest of our survivors are not okay. We pick up almost immediately where we left off last week. Scarlett and the others escape becoming the main course for their new cannibal friends. It’s Dmitri and the Sisterhood to the rescue. Who’d have thought? Granted, the vampires are single-minded in their intent to retrieve the key and the “Van Helsing” offspring.

A few weeks ago, Cort had the chance to speak with Missy Peregrym (link) and the actress teased the possibility of flashbacks into Scarlett’s background. Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Wakey Wakey”. Were you as pumped as we were to see pre-Apocalypse flashbacks featuring Vanessa’s sis? Vampires are on your tail, are you taking advantage of a brief respite to hook-up?

Do you think Julius is done for and what did you think of his showdown with former minion, Scab (Rowland Pidlubny)? Finally, how cool was that scene with Julius discovering junk food? I hope we get to see Axel’s face when Doc hands him a Kit Kat. After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.

Join Brad and Cort as they break down the latest episode of Riverdale.

When Jughead learns that F.P. is getting released from prison, he and Betty organize a welcome home party; Archie and Veronica push their relationship issues aside to focus on the Black Hood investigation.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down Ep 2x07 'Tales from the Darkside'.

The Black Hood challenges the residents of Riverdale to remain sinless for 48 hours; Penny Peabody calls in a favor Jughead owes her, putting strain on his relationship with Archie; Betty and Veronica investigate a suspect.

Pure Fandom's Meg Bonney and Liz Prugh break down the 2-hour Floribama Shore premiere, their favorite characters, and how they were surprised to find heart in the reality show.

Welcome back, Helsingers! Tonight we're thankful for an all-new episode of Van Helsing. Vanessa is missing after being abducted at the end of last week's episode. Axel and the rest of the group meet up with some new friendly faces with interesting eating habits. Meanwhile, Dmitri is intent on tracking down the Van Helsing sisters.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Big Mama". What did you think of the new group of survivors and their eating habits? Vampires eat humans so turnabout is fair play? Or were these cannibals taking things way too far? Who do you think has Vanessa? What do you think of the sisterhood and their loyalty to Scab?  Do you agree with Flesh's decision not to look further for Mohamad? After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.

Welcome back, Helsingers! What’s a reluctant bloodsucker to do when your last true hope for salvation refuses to bite you? Poor Axel can’t seem to catch a break. Vanessa is understandably questioning her abilities after what happened with Dylan and even after Axel’s successful transition-death-resurrection, our girl may be wary still about turning anyone else anytime soon.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, “Everything Changes”. That title is utterly true. Suddenly we have helicopters and soldiers in the post-apocalypse. What’s your take on Scab’s new brood? We’re you certain that Axel as done for this time and what’s to become of Mohammad???

Van Helsing's badass ninja has been unmasked and who could have expected the gamechanger that was revealed. Vanessa may have lost her daughter a few episodes ago and that one still stings, but this week she's gained a sister. Hit play and listen in as Missy Peregrym talks about her new role on Syfy's hit series. If you didn't already know, this lady is all kinds of awesome. The chat is highly enlightening and hella funny.

Welcome back, Helsingers! Now THAT was a motherloving gamechanger. If you haven't watched the episode...first what are you doing with your life and why would you miss this one? That badass ninja that's been lurking the past few episodes was finally revealed and she had a very interesting connection to Vanessa. The episode also features more than one reunion, though things don't go quite as Doc and Axel had been expecting.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Veritas Vincit". Did you see that reveal coming? Vanessa has a sister and they spent their early years in that bunker.
