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.

18 December 2011: Comic Books & Graphic Novels

This week, Templemarker plays sherpa through the soap operatic wilds of Marvel, DC, and indie comics. We talk about how to get your toes wet in the twisty, confusing world of sprawling and contradictory canons, show you the ropes on the stories to read and the ones to avoid, and give those of you already chomping at the bit for the 2012 Avengers movie some context for the film. And then, we drop a righteous mountain of fandom and canon recs for you guys — happy reading! The comics blog MK mentions at the end of the recording is Comics212.net. TempleMarker's Generation Kill intro post can be found over here.

Music this week: Opening music: Calculation, by Regina Spektor. Closing music: Long Division, by Death Cab for Cutie

10 December 2011: K-Dramas

Forgive us our long and totally impromptu hiatus! But we're back (a little early, even! Sort of!) this week with Pru and Til_Midnight nattering about korean dramas. Why are they so addictive? What's the cycle of consumption on these things like? How do they get churned out so quickly? How are people with � presumably � otherwise good taste in media turning into vein-tapping smack addicts when it comes to this business? Especially with all the amnesia, convenient car accidents, and inevitable everybody dying of stupid diseases that are probably fake? Let us take you on a magical journey into Asia, drinking in tents, and the closest thing we're ever likely to get to a film version of a romance novel.

20 November 2011

This week on /report, we're joined by Cherrybina to chat about porn, porn, and when we're done with that, some more porn. Well, we start off by answering some of our backlog of listener questions, but then we get straight to the smut — what makes it hot, what makes it not, how we write it, why we read it, and horrifying childhood tales of erotica discovery and humiliation in bookstores. So plug in, turn up the volume, and crank on your iBuzz. (PS: If you actually turn on your iBuzz while listening to this, please don't tell us.)

Slash Report: Author Talk With The Hoyden

Sorry we're late! First Pru and the Hoyden were drinking their way through Spain and then MK had the death flu for about a week. Fail.

This week we talk about Fringe, The Good Wife, CSI NY, and The Mentalist, do a brief foray into your submissions for the Bad Fic Strong Like Ox challenge, and then move right on to the real meat - our very first Author Talk! We asked The Hoyden every question you sent us and made her answer them, whether she liked it or not.
