Do you hear that? A faint sound of thunder and chomping in the distance? And the wind is picking up now, blowing in the horrible, fishy odor of death. These signs can't point to anything else... In this episode, Eric puts on his hero hat, grabs his favorite chainsaw (her name is "Betty"), and sets out to save the world from the most blood-thirsty of all natural disasters: Sharknado!

Cover for us in homeroom! We have some sleuthing to do! Well, Marcus does at least. This week, he's raiding lockers, turning over tables in the cafeteria, and knocking heads together under the bleachers - anything to solve the mystery at the heart of Rian "Star Wars Episode VIII" Johnson's high school film noir breakout, Brick! He just better watch out for any of those long-haired lugs! Especially if they're named Chuck Burns!

Did you know that A Song of Ice and Fire, the hit series that HBO's Game of Thrones is based upon, is not the only tale from Westeros that George R. R. Martin hasn't finished? This week Andrew spends a couple hours in the world of dragons and white walkers as he writes A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and we find out why it takes Martin much longer to write his (objectively more amazing) version!

On this week's show, Mr. Carlson goes to Washington! Ready or not, Eric's been assigned an immense challenge: to sham-write a piece based on the most prestigious of all prestige dramas, Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing! Will people walk and talk at the same time? (They'd better!) Will President Bartlet tell a folksy story of great significance? (Most likely!) Will all our nation's most pressing issues be solved? (We're counting on it!) If there's an Emmy for podcasting, this is our chance to bring it home! No pressure, right?

In this final week of Dueling ShamFiction, Marcus asks Eric and Andrew to wrap up their days as crime-fighting heroes and make some real change - in politics! Yes, indeed, we're following in Mayor Mitchell "The Great Machine" Hundred's steps, heading to New York City Hall with dreams of machines dancing like sugar plums in our heads (or something)! But only one sham-writer can call himself the hero-mayor of New York! And there's only one way to determine the victor: a head-to-head sham-writing battle royale of writer Brian K. Vaughan's comic series, Ex Machina!

The Dueling ShamFiction finale proved too big a beast to tame in only a week's time! In its stead, we've pulled an episode out of the vault! This is a complete test cast from back in 2015 when we were sussing out the show's structure and getting comfortable in front of the mics. We believe you'll find the quality of the content and the audio to be more than sufficient for your listening pleasure! Can Marcus drill deep enough to strike black gold? Find out in his attempt to break into the oil business with this sham of Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood!

It's week two of our Dueling ShamFiction series! In this installment, Eric and Marcus go head-to-head to see who can make Andrew cry harder! It's the saddest episode of ShamFiction yet, as we battle grief and confusion in the wake of the sudden disappearance of 2% of the world's population. Smoke 'em if you got 'em, because we're shamming HBO's The Leftovers!

In the first of our three-part Dueling ShamFiction special, Andrew and Marcus tune up their automail limbs and go transmutation-circle to transmutation-circle to find out which of them is full-metal! It's a competition the likes of which you haven't seen on ShamFiction, so strap yourselves in for two full takes on Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood!

Three, two, one, let's jam! This week, we're jazzing things up by getting down with the coolest crew of bounty hunters this side of the solar system. It's Cowboy Bebop! Marcus is writing, and he had better keep the beat because these thugs know how to swing. One mis-step and we'll be saying, "See you, Space Cowboy!"
