The Niche Files

Ryan tried to start the intro. Kass had other plans. Cody just had a great time either way. There's chaos, banishment, and the ever-looming threat that absolutely nobody is safe from Kass's wrath.

A “normal” podcast was never an option.

Instead, Ryan turned this week into part trivia, part chaos experiment, and just enough nonsense to make us wonder why we gave him this much control in the first place. There are premature bonks, quack attacks, and the shocking realization that Kass and Cody knew more about John Wick than they even thought.

Fast, funny, and full of chaotic energy start to finish. And we regret nothing.

Our newest teaser trailer asks more questions than it answers -- the rules are unclear, the soundboard is suspicious, and the chaos is just beginning.

The Niche Files sinks its teeth into Twilight -- from vampire age gaps and Robert Pattinson’s Edward-related regret to fanfiction origins and the movie’s harmful treatment of the Quileute tribe.

It’s peak awkward romance with just enough chaos to make everyone question the choices that led here, including a butterfly effect that (allegedly) links 9/11 to Ellen DeGeneres.

A bite-sized preview of our Twilight deep-dive. Get ready for glittery brooding, too many red flags to count, and the most intense game of vampire baseball ever recorded. Are Kass and Cody on Team Edward or Team Jacob? Will Ryan survive?

Spoiler alert: Nope. Ryan died, but we brought him back as a vampire.

This week on The Niche Files, we’re revisiting The Princess Bride, a cult classic that somehow manages to be sincere, silly, romantic, and endlessly quotable all at once.

We talk one man’s lifelong quest for vengeance, one very large man’s shocking lack of exercise, unforgettable characters, and why this movie has remained such a beloved favorite decades later --plus the important lesson that you should never, ever, under any circumstances, start a land war in Asia.

Funny, nostalgic, and maybe a little overanalyzed, but that’s kind of the point here.

Welcome to The Niche Files! In this teaser, meet the hosts and get a taste of the chaos to come. It’s heartfelt, a little unhinged, and mostly Ryan’s fault. We’re shining a light on the overlooked, the forgotten, and the deeply beloved media that shaped us.

Content Note: Expect swearing, mild innuendo/suggestive jokes, and the chaotic conviction of people who might have thought a little too hard about which fictional characters are… dateable.
