222 Season Finale

Gather round, /reporters, we're back! Sorry about the impromptu hiatus, but we're about to throw another one in your faces. In our last episode of the season we're discussing CBS's upcoming Sherlock Holmes pilot, Elementary, and various fashion decisions therein that give Pru The Vapors. We also read out and discuss our latest crop of fandom confessions, and tell you guys when we'll be back for season 3, so plug in and check it out. Follow us on twitter for even more inanity during the hiatus. Are you amped?

221 Year in Review

It's /report's one year anniversary podcast…where we stay true to form and blabber about everything and anything and reminisce about how the hell this podcast got started, the first night Pru had MK in her clutches, and how we had to level up in professionalism because we got booted from our hosting. OH AND ALSO FOLKS: We have an AMAZING follow-up to our fandom confessional episode, so if you're invested in fanperson love, check it out!

220 One Direction

This week the /report team scam Merelyn and Cherrybina on to talk about the Return of Popslash in the form of One Direction fandom. Who are these twinkly singers and why are they all over your tumblr dashboard despite your best efforts to avoid them? Pru and MK have no fucking clue. That's why we got guest hosts.

219 Fangirl Confessions

Bust out your extra guilt and we'll see you on the other side of the grill, /reporters, because it's our fandom confessions episode. Tune in as we cover the breadth of weird fandom quirks, missed connections (and potential happy endings!) for fangirls in love, terrible things we do to each other, and topics that turn surprisingly controversial. Also, to hear Pru and MK argue about Stargate: Atlantis's "Trinity." Again. Some more. Are you scared yet? Good. You should be.

218 Mobile Fandom

Listen up, /reporters on the go! We feel you and your 3G data plan could use with a little goosing. This week we're talking about how to feed your fannish urges while you're out on the town and suffering the affections of our star (which burns and thus generates the need for frozen treats). Stick around, because we're going to tell you how to get away with reading fanfic at your fancy-pants office, read manga on the bus, and listen to us anywhere in the world.

217 Ask Us Anything

Hitch up your britches, /reporters, it's our first ever Ask Us Anything episode. We talk about translations, how to make friends, which fandom is the trolliest fandom ever to troll (spoiler: see our cover) and derail very, very early on into discussion of astronauts versus cavemen, the most important hypothetical of all time.

216 - Mystery Slashreport Three Thousand: How to Train Your Dragon

Get your DVD or digital file and a bucket for your feels ready because this week we're watching one of our favourite movies, How to Train Your Dragon. We talk about how Toothless is the best dragon, celtic knot work, how Toothless is the best dragon, Viking names, and how Toothless is the best dragon.

215 First Times

Pack a picnic basket and some strawberry wine, because we are taking you guys down to the riverside in our dad's pick-up truck so we can say things like, "Just the tip — just the tip." That's right, /reporters, it's first times and first fandoms for everybody! MK waxes poetic about her seduction by Moon Princess Magic and Pru confesses her tawdry assignation with the agents down in the basement of the FBI.

214 50/50 Tropes

Double up on your popcorn this week folks, because MK, Pru, and The Hoyden take a journey of terrible discovery in the depths of your favorite (and least favorite) fanfic tropes. We cover everything from soulbonding to soulbonding with a mind meld, and detour in the land of magical ass babies and high school AUs along the way. If that sounds like your cup of tea, or perhaps you are just a keen fan of listening to auditory train wrecks, crank up the volume and settle in, because /report is always happy to serve.

213 Summer TV

It's summer and obviously that means we're all going to sit inside and watch a tsunami of television, if MK has anything to say about it. This week we talk about the slate of upcoming USA and TNT shows that are finally returning to our warm embrace, dump on Common Law, share a duo of horrifying SLO entries (we're so sorry), and coin a new term to put into the /report dictionary. Everybody slap on some sunscreen and break out your Ray Bans, for your sun burns, and we are the auditory equivalent of a frozen treat.

212 House MD series recap

You can go ahead and cross LUPUS off of your whiteboard because it's the /report House recap. Eight seasons, multiple break-ups, improbable levels of wonderfulness, stupidity, and gay later, the show finally ended last month. Come out of hiding and talk to us, guys. It can't hurt you anymore.

112 The Good Wife

Get ready to feel sexually confused by Kalinda and emotionally gut-punched by Alicia because it's finally time for /report's all Good Wife all the time episode. If you've been overwhelmed with tortured, legal feelings since the season finale or stuck wondering which episode featuring Cary Agos high on shrooms you should watch, wonder no more, because we're here for you. We're here to help. And admire Kalinda for buying a sledgehammer and hiding an entire universe of accessories in her boobs.

210 Avengers Assemble

We don't know if you guys noticed, but this movie about some dudes with superpowers came out and stuff recently, and there are at least one or two people on the internet who have some thoughts about it. Strap on your jet packs and double up on your popcorn and shawarma, /reporters, because at long last, Pru, MK, and special guest Merelyn talk Avengers, tempt fate with a discussion of Loki, and how if you're going to blow up New York, at least do it Midtown West, because nobody cares about that place.

209 Gender AUs

Pru made the mistake of leaving MK alone with The Hoyden and Twentysomething this week with only the promise that they not make another episode entirely about Teen Wolf. So this episode is only half about Teen Wolf. The wolf pack talks gender AUs, SGA, Community, Teen Wolf, Legend of Korra, and loads more.

208 Mystery Slashreport Three Thousand: Iron Man

Charge your arc reactors and brush up on your sexual innuendos, folks. This week's watch-along is Iron Man I, starring our favorite cat-lady man child, Robert Downey Jr. Brace yourself for our many and sundry feels about stripper planes, how much Pru hates that reporter in the movie, and how much MK hates hook noses and the original graphical elements of early Mac operating systems.

207 Teen Wolf with Hoyden, Leupagus, and Twentysomething

This week, Hoyden, Twentysomething (Kate), Leupagus and MK ruin Pru's life by making her sit in on a Teen Wolf episode where we lose track of the plot, forget that a bunch of you have probably not seen the show at all, and get sidetracked by knotting constantly. Prepare to embarass yourself during your weekday commute as we go full on teen wolf on you.

206 Martha Wells, Science Fiction, and Fantasy

Join us around the interstellar campfire as we talk with Martha Wells — author of The Cloud Roads and the Serpent Sea — about genre and speculative fiction, why we love (and hate) dragons, the way science fiction builds communities and kept weird little kids like us from feeling alone, and how it's so much more than Twilight out there. Charge your Stargate and gas up the Enterprise, ladies and gentlemen, and keep your arms, legs, and flippers inside the cart for the ride.

205 Podfic with Pennyplainknits

Strap on your animal ears and feathers, ladies and gents, because in an episode meant to explore the complexities, heartbreak, and joy of podfics, we veered so off course we hooked up with the Donner Party. Come for the special guest, Pennyplainknits, and her charming accent, stay for extensive, awful discussions in what has been agreed to be the "worst episode since we had Lianne on." We talk how to podfic, why we podfic, why we listen to it, and also, have at least one legitimate use case for the term "swanfucker."

204 Author Talk with Cobweb Diamond

This week we trick the wild Cobweb_Diamond aka Gav with sparkly gold flats and large quantities of booze and stuff her into our /report carpeted van to interrogate her about fandom. We talk about writing WIPs, the best method of being creative while drunk and coming home from parties, the sound of Scotland crying, and spend a lot of time being puzzled about The Last Airbender and fashion.

Heads up, listeners, a warning about this week: there is some high pitched audio interference science, magic, and threats all failed to remove during the first 15 minutes of the episode. It's intermittent, but listen with caution, or fast-forward to the 16 minute mark and spare yourself the grief entirely.

203 Video Games

Lijaka, Yin, and MK discuss gaming, gaming platforms, which games are good for girls to play and aren't just mediocre sports games, and take listener questions.

Everything you've ever wanted to know about video games but were afraid to ask until you posted it on twitter is in this episode. Or rather, we think we got everything but there's a chance we've missed some things. More for next time! Whether you're an avid gamer or you're terrified and think all games are for men by men, listen to this episode and we'll set the record straight.

You voted and we made it happen. Pull out your Inception DVD or your digital file and get ready for the first ever Mystery Slashreport Three Thousand episode: Inception edition.

Watch Inception in real time with us as we get distracted over and over again by JGL's ass, dream heist mechanics, and what a dumbass Cobb is.

201 BBC Sherlock

We're back with season 2 of Slash Report! Hold onto your feels because this week we wail hysteric over the second series of BBC's Sherlock with some reference to season 1, and top you off with some happy and some sad fic recs. Pru would like to note that while her name may be on Sherlock's face the roles here should actually be reversed.

New this season, we have amazing new opening and closing music composed for us by the lovely and talented Rebecca Scoble (the audio editor for Tokyo Demons). We hope you love it just as much as we do.
