The Fandom Show

Avengers assemble! We're talking to comedian and all-around excellent person, Liz Johnston (she/her) about the fandom that she loves (3000), the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We discuss the most iconic heroes and villains, the infamous 'blip', the 'formula' of making a Marvel film and how they have impacted the current landscape of Hollywood filmmaking. Is Martin Scorsese correct? Does Marvel make art? What even IS art? And, more importantly, why did Falcon and the Winter Soldier have so much boat content? This episode was brought to you by Stark Industries.

Plus, we talk about the responsibility and opportunity of creating work for your younger self.

Our friendship is our power! Podcast host and gamer Travis Ryans (they/them) joins us to explain the somewhat confusing and utterly sincere JRPG phenomena that is Kingdom Hearts! We chat about the (literal) elevator pitch that brought the worlds of SquareEnix and Disney together, purchasing keyblades, Donald Ducks sketchy reputation, and why it's so refreshing to see a series that embraces wholehearted sentimentality in an otherwise pretty "heartless" world.

Busting makes us feel good! We are joined by writer and superfan Ian MacIntyre (he/him) to discuss the 'stay puft' sized phenomena that is Ghostbusters.

Listen as we bust open Dan Ackroyd's wild original concept, the late Ivan Reitman's legacy, and the science of homemade cosplay. Plus, a spirited discussion of which gigantic monster we might accidentally unleash on New York.
