As Rob would later write, "And then she came in, and took over the Crew..." Not only would this episode go on to be our #2 all-time most listened to episode, this was M.H. Norris' first appearance on the show. Soon she would invite herself on for a time travel discussion, and then, eventually, wind up becoming one of the two co-hosts. Listen in for a preview of her upcoming new forensic mythology mystery series, All the Petty Myths, and all about her novella Badge City: Notches. Notches would win Best Novella in the Pulp Ark New Pulp Awards 2016; in fact, we found out about her place in the contest not two minutes after we stopped recording. (Originally presented March 15, 2016.)

Micah S. Harris speaks about Twin Peaks at length, and its award-winning related novel, Ravenwood: Return of the Dugpa. Micah's novel is another example of the way we predicted the Pulp Ark New Pulp Award winners, as his novel, Ravenwood: Stepson of Mystery: Return of the Dugpa (from Airship 27) would walk away with the 2016 award for Best Novel. (Originally presented March 8, 2016.)

Challenging your notions of how the show works and who the guests can be, Robert E Wronski Jr becomes the guest! The TVCU Crew chat with the author and podcast host about Laff-a-Lympics, Happy Days, Leave it to Beaver, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Batman'66, Scooby-Doo Team-Up, Superman, the secret origin of the Television Crossover Universe, the Horror Crossover Encyclopedia, the Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia, Worlds and Mythology, Bones, and Sleepy Hollow. (Originally presented March 1, 2016.)

With a twich of her nose, one of our most enduring guests arrived. This episode would be our eternal most popular feature, and be shared further than any episode before or since. Nicole Petit visited to talk about The Dragon Lord's Secretary, her dragon-focused anthologies, dragons in general, Coney Island, the real Wild West, the Arthurian Legends, and Bewitched. She also continued our trend toward predicting winners of the Pulp Ark New Pulp Awards, as her dragon anthologies--The Dragon Lord's Library--would go on to win several awards a few months late.

Returning guest host Chris Nigro joins the TVCU Crew to talk with Matthew Dennion about Tales of the Shadowmen, Sherlock Holmes, G-Fan, Judex, Batman, Freddy Krueger, the Invisible Man, Latitude Zero, Kaiju, Polar Yeti, Atomic Rex, French Pulps, Victorian literature, crossovers, and Black Coat Press.

Returning guest host Chris Nigro joins the TVCU Crew to talk with Kevin T. Heim about fictional crossovers, horror, Redux of the Living Dead, Frankenstein, the History of Halloween, Ivan Schablotski, Lycanthropy, MONSTAAH, Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World, Godzilla, the Hour Show Comics Universe, the Monster Hunter Universe, and Ghostbusters!

Join us for this episode as the TVCU Crew talk with Janet. L. Hetherington about Kolchak, Honey West, The Secret Loves of Geek Girls, Elvira, Jesse James, and Superman's special day!

Join us for this episode as the TVCU Crew battle the Snow Miser, suffer technical difficulties, and start talking like Bizarro! We also speak, normally, with William Meikle about Carnacki the Ghost-Finder, the Lovecraft Mythos, The Hole, The Dunfield Terror, and other projects past, present and future. The TVCU Crew then discuss horror crossovers that will be in Horror Crossover Encyclopedia Volume II from the Flesh for the Beast, Friday the 13th, Jake Sampson: Monster Hunter, and the Faculty! All this, and the worst television show ever made!

Micah S. Harris, one of our favorite guests, first appeared in this episode. Take your heart medication first, folks! It's a pulse-defying hour of giant apes, capable women, terrifying monsters from beyond time, super-detectives, trailer park Lara Crofts, brawny barbarians, fairy tales, and, can you believe it, even more puns! (Originally presented January 19th, 2016.)

A mascot was born! With this episode  the Television Crossover Universe Podcast's obsession with William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki the Ghost-Finder was born! M.J. Starling had written a remarkable play featuring the occult detective, collected in Carnacki: The New Adventures. This was the point, I believe, where Rob and and I fell in love with the character. Or, at the very least, this is where a combination of craft and accident meant nearly every episode had a Carnacki connection. Mr. Starling was a wonderful guest, telling us all about the role of playwright, music composition, and some of the most unique writing concepts ever brought up on the show.
