Special guest Chris is enlisted as a minion on our ageless, decadent podcast to discuss a Vampire Hunter D fanfic out of a 1980s anime fanzine. Rei Ginsei has a rough and confusing backstory. Facing down vampires is, in fact, terrifying. Everybody finds something to like about the award-winning art, but nobody can agree on what.

We're delighted to find an epistolary fanfic based on everyone's favorite C.S. Lewis work that doesn't have any lions in it. The story is only 1600 words, but our meandering conversation takes far more than that. Screwtape's Rolodex is probably pretty impressive. The cosmologies of the Buffyverse and the Screwtape Letters aren't... completely incompatible.

We return to everyone's favorite unsettling childhood movie in this sequel to The Secret of NIMH. We spend equal time exploring the rats' sweet-ass civilization, and Elizabeth Brisby's solid single parenting. Meanwhile, a special ops team of rats survives behind enemy lines. And Johnathan Brisby has a lot of explaining to do.

Averting tomorrow's disasters today can be a rough job, and Gary pushes himself a little too far in the process. The author writes what she knows, and what she knows is respiratory illness. Chuck tries to step up to the plate, to limited success. We smile nostalgically about the quaint concept of reading the newspaper.

You'd think that after escaping from his apocalyptic timeline, Future Trunks's life could only improve. But now he has to spend a year trapped in a room with a hateful, malevolent entity that thrives on his anger and bloodlust. And that's just his dad - there's an evil spirit involved, too.

It's the late 60s, and aspiring writer Velma Dinkley and her college buddies are facing some tough choices. For instance, is it better to go to war in Vietnam, or cruise around the country in a sweet hippie van with your best friends and a large dog? ...okay, maybe that choice isn't so hard after all.

(TW: fucked up non-consensual sex)

In the melting pot of Deep Space Nine, can two people of different species who are both sort of smug jerks fall in LOVE? Yes, but it will probably take Shakespearean levels of misery to get someone to confess. "Anthony and Cleopatra" is the book club discussion topic of the day. Dukat is terrible. Garak and Bashir get it on. And on. And on.

Thundercracker gets an unexpected promotion that thrusts him into prominence early in the war on Cybertron. He'll grow a little, learn a little, and maybe, just maybe, become a better, kinder evil space robot. Some Transformers are beasts and some are cars, and everyone is just going to have to live with that. Flywheels is more than meets the eye.
