411 Spider-man 2

Break out your grain alcohol and sense of inevitable disappointment, because /report got Pru and Merelyn hammered and talking about The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Fair warning, tender listeners, we absolutely hated this movie and our hour+ dissertation on why we do is unwavering on this point, not even Andrew Garfield's doe eyes and jiggly backside or Emma Stone's dynamic brightness and fantastic hats could rescue our feelings. But if you want someone to commiserate, or hear stories about terrible life choices, the best leather seats at an AMC in New York, or our various "best parts of the movie" (none of which involved the movie), stick around.

410 A Brief History of Fandom

This week we're joined by special guest Flourish who helps Merelyn and MK explain 'the good ol'days' and why they were actually HORRIFYING but now fill old-school fandom with nostalgia. We're talking Zines, APAs, Usenet, BBS, LJ, the Pit, the Great Purge, and a million other things you'll have to look up on Fanlore afterwards. We even get Flourish to make the sound of a 14.4 dial up modem. It's serious.
