AUCH LADS AND LASSIES, IT'S TIME TO OUTLANDER. Welcome to our first shitsorting episode! Lauren and Rachel have never seen an episode of Outlander in their lives, but how could we deny you, the Outlander fandom, our expertise in sorting? We couldn't. It would be cruel. So we brought in resident Outlander expert and shitsorting pilot tester Hailee to recommend two episodes she thought showcased Jamie and Claire best so we could sort them based on that. Will Hailee laugh us off the podcast? Or will we convince her the houses she previously had Jamie and his sassenach in were wrong? All we can promise is yelling, while two people who have nothing to do with the fandom or the show express their opinions over the sound of our guest, the only person who knows what she's talking about. Join Sort of Brilliant as they test their skills against the challenge of little to no knowledge.

Strap on your taser and grab your Backup, we're in for a real treat this week Marshmallows. If this show can disappear into the ether for almost a decade and come roaring back in a blazing fire of Kickstarter incentives and last second explosions, then gosh darn it, we can do an episode on it and you will ENJOY IT. What's that? You haven't seen nor heard of The CW's hit series Veronica Mars (2004-2007), now available on Hulu. Have you been living under a ROCK? If you have, Lauren will drag you out from under it, kicking and screaming, because Kristen Bell is not something to be missed. This is a character heavy show with emotion and heart and that means the sorting is rich and complex and an opportunity for Lauren to rave about Veronica being the best character in existence. You don't want to miss it. P.S. excuse any audio snafus, Rachel was so excited about Lauren's birthday she blew her mic out (or maybe Lauren did, but it's her birthday so you can't blame her).

wanDAvisION. Could you hear that. Could you hear the chord. There's no visuals here so you get to decide what sitcom we're in. Welcome back to another week of SOB sorting, we're talking Marvel again, but more specifically, we're talking WandaVision. Have you not seen WandaVision? No need to worry about this episode. Not because there aren't spoilers (there are) but because Lauren spends half the episode explaining the show to Rachel. There was almost a fight over a sorting decision this episode, but we were all saved by the explanation of bullshit science. It just goes to show you how important understanding motivations are to sorting decisions. Are you tired of how this episode has turned into a teaching lesson. Me too. George was in this episode but Hannah cut him out entirely. Tune in. Please standby.

Good day, dear listeners, and welcome to another episode of Sort of Brilliant. I'm your host Lady Whistledown, a much classier and much Regency-er version of Gossip Girl, and I'm here to reveal the houses of Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, and Miss Daphne Bridgerton. Is our sorting correct? Yes always. Are you going to get sick of this specific type of romantic pairing? Probably! This isn't our fault, blame Hollywood for being completely unimaginative, or more accurately, blame us as the audience for being simps who would lick this character dynamic off the floor of a crowded ballroom. Bridgerton is a series that unapologetically shoves overused comfort tropes, softcore porn and instrumental versions of Taylor Swift down your throat, and you can't even pretend you're above that because you're here, listening to this episode and eating it all up. I bet you know about the Tik Tok musical too, don't you. Enjoy the episode, we're ashamed of ourselves (we're not at all).

Say it...out loud...it's the Twilight episode. This Valentine's Day, SOB explores the romance story to end all love stories. Bill, Sookie and Eric? Katniss, Peeta and Gale? They all walked so Edward, Bella and Jacob could run, and run they did to five books, five movies, a BDSM fanfiction offshoot and a Renaissance that puts Italians to shame. Michael Sheen died for these movies guys. Robert Pattinson ran away to become a microwave pasta mogul. Twilight gets right up in your soul ("I don't HAVE a soul" - Edward Cullen, resident eternally 17-year old pale boi). Where could we have possibly sorted the love triangle of the 21st century? Give us a listen to travel this love/hate journey with us, and, if nothing else, to understand the memes we'll be posting for the rest of our (undead) lives. 

Goooooood morning Greendale! Inspector Spacetime back to November, 2020, when SOB's audio was as shitty as the community college they're covering in this week's episode. Everybody at Greendale Community College may be a fellow Human Being, but not everybody is Jeff, Britta and Annie, quite possibly the weirdest examples of their respective houses we have yet seen. Strap in for a lot of laughs because - you know when people are talking about Office Space, and they keep quoting specific lines from Office Space, and you sit there like, "Office Space is never on TV and I literally only know it because of internet memes, how do so many people know lines from Office Space?" Community is TV's Office Space, and it's vastly underappreciated, and frankly, you should be ashamed of yourself. What, you're a fan? Obviously not, or we'd have our movie by now wouldn't we. You've really Britta'd this one, pop, pop!

Our show is growing, so the next logical step was to invite on friends who know very little about Harry Potter or sorting. That's right, it's a ~CROSSOVER EPISODE~. Meg and Carla, cohosts of Bed, Wed and Behead and new resident fandom experts in the f*ck, marry kill market, join Lauren and Rachel on this heavily edited episode where they scrutinize the women of Once Upon A Time. What houses will they be sorted into, and how much of their choice will be influenced by the fact that hours before this episode was recorded they all collectively (shut up Carla) agreed to kill someone? Surely any dissent among the ranks won't carry over into this episode, nor will Lauren and Rachel lose their minds over the BeWBs (un)educated sorting. Only listening to the episode can tell you. @ Disney, and 7 year old little girls everywhere, please don't sue us.

Warner Brothers finally caved and gave us Wonder Woman 1984, and civilization and movie theaters as we know them are ending, but we're not here to talk about any of that. Hell, we're not even here to talk about WW84 (the spoilers don't even start until about 20 minutes in). What we're here to do is talk about how hot Steve Trevor and his fanny pack are. That's it. This podcast is 60+ minutes of erotic fanny pack discussion. If any sorting makes it in here at all, it's certainly despite the very best efforts of Lauren. In fact, she's unsure why the fanny pack itself wasn't sorted, but these are the breaks when working with other people less appreciative of casual waist-wear (*cough*Rachel*cough*). Anyway. Sorting definitely happens here. We sort Diana and Steve, yes we totally do, and the pairing is not at all familiar to us, nope. Not at all.

Would you believe in the episode called Sort of Dash and Lily the SOB girls are sorting...Dash and Lily? No? Too obvious for you? Us too to be honest, these sortings were EXTREMELY OBVIOUS, although we did get to delve deep into what are the two most overlooked houses in the HP world, since they were mostly ignored by the narrative. Funnily enough, this romantic pairing are somewhat of a unicorn to us as well, so don't be surprised when half the episode is just bafflement at the pairing of the specific type of these two houses that somehow works out. We also spend time listing all of the TV shows we know and exclaiming that we have literally never seen these two houses regularly paired before. Like ever. Even in a close friends type situation. Please help us, are you one of these two houses and are you friends with the other, we want to speak to you (dissect your relationship).

Getting tired of Supernatural? We weren't, but our research team tells us it was time to let go. No one in this episode liked Endgame but here we are anyway with the longest episode yet (someone stop us please). Join Lauren, Rachel and special guest (our producer) Hannah to discuss what houses MCU Avengers Tony Stark, Steve Rogers and the Mighty Thor belong to. Think you know the answer? This is one of those episodes where you probably don't as the girls get bitter about character regression and comic book inaccuracies but WE GOTTA READ WHAT THE TEXT IS TELLING US, DON'T WE. With each of us solely dedicated to only one character's well being and good image, what could possibly go wrong? Suit up and assemble, sorters.
