Over the course of our latest season, we've become friends with a vampire, hung out with baby Geralt, read a book by a bard, savored some fish soup, took a detour into Shondaland, drunk whiskey from a gargoyle and barely survived an encounter with 99 Bananas. Together, we've made some great memories (while destroying a few brain cells), but sadly, it's time to say goodbye as our season has reached its end. But before we head off down the path, we're stopping for one final look at The Witcher's fourth season. What did we like and what did we not care for? What surprised us and what do we expect to see in season five? We each pick our favorite and least favorite costumes, songs, whiskeys and episodes (you'll never guess which one made both lists) and choose a Kaer Moron for the season, all while enjoying three of our favorite recent bourbons. The bar may be closing for the night, but first we're breaking out the good stuff. Care to join us for one more round?

Dearest gentle listener, on this first day of April, it is this author's sincerest pleasure to welcome you once again to the noble kingdom of Shondaland for an afternoon of…particularly strong tea and lively conversation. Our subject this week? Why none other than the latest events concerning the Bridgerton household, particularly the recent gossip surrounding second son Benedict and his new wife. Our guest of honor for this truly once—er, twice-in-a-lifetime event is none other than our dear friend and patron, the Viscountess Lucy J Robyn of the noble households of YouTube and Twitch. We hope you will enjoy the proceedings, but do heed this most delicate of warnings: those arriving in hope of familiarizing themselves with the recent exploits of that infamous rake Geralt of Rivia may find themselves in unfamiliar company. Should that prove to be you, we suggest simply asking your server to make your tea a “double.” Just ensure you do not do this so often that you besmirch your standing in society. Poor decisions like that are, as they say, best left up to us. Keep up with Lucy by following her on Twitch, Youtube, Twitter and Instagram at @lucyjrobyn.

This week, we're side questing into the world of It's Not a Cult, the new novel written by our favorite on-screen bard, Joey Batey. Since books are better with booze, the whiskey flows generously as we unpack everything the novel has to say about obsessive fandom, mob behavior, found families, experiencing life through screens and ice lollies (though we may need your help with that last one). We also tackle the tough, yet impossible to ignore questions: How much of this book is meant to be reflective of Joey's life? What's up with the ending? And why the heck isn't this thing available in the United States? Don't look for clear answers…or anything clear, really. But we do reveal the one thing the ridiculously multi-talented Joey Batey can't yet do. So take that, Bard!

This show created one of the fastest fandoms ever.Support my independent journalism:

Dive into the vibrant Supernatural fandom with Sandra and Kasey as they continue their series of convention stories. In this episode, Sandra breaks down her most recent con experience at CreationCon in Norfolk, Virginia, with fellow congoers Jackie (jinkieswouldyoulookatthis) and Lemons (fictionallemons). They share their love and adoration for the actors that brought Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester to life, and demonstrate how the love of a show creates friendships that aren't dictated by distance. This episode highlights what makes this fandom the SPN family. Sandra and Kasey invite you to join the conversation by sharing your own convention stories, continuing the rich tradition of storytelling within the fandom. Stay tuned for more episodes exploring the intersection of Supernatural, fanfiction, and fandom culture!~~~We're taking you for a spin in Baby's backseat.Dean's House Rules - Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole, and the ones in the back enjoy the ride... idling in the Impala.~~~~~TL;DR - If you can't be bothered clicking on all the things in this description, just visit our website: idlingintheimpala.comWe'd love to hear your thoughts.

Our latest side quest is sure to appeal to all swipes—er, types! When we first discussed Reigns: The Witcher, the new “swipe 'em up” mobile game from CDPR, Nerial and Devolver Digital, we failed to answer one very important question: which member of the Whiskey with Witcher crew can survive for the longest in the game after drinking copious amounts of alcohol? Well, you're about to find out! Recorded a few days after Reigns: The Witcher's release, we each take a spin until three things become clear. First, we probably should have practiced a lot more. Second, battling is really hard when you're drinking cask-strength whiskey. And three, this is the wildest episode we've recorded in quite some time. Enjoy!

Long before publishing executives "discovered" the internet, a very dedicated group of fans had already built their own literary universe complete with sacred terminology, power hierarchies, and enough drama to make the actual source material blush. This week, Reese and Iman sit down with the iconic Christina Lauren duo, Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings (@christinalauren), to dissect fanfiction's glow-up from AO3 comment sections to genuine big business. We're getting into the culty dialect (slash, ship AU, canon, OTP), the plagiarism scandals, the parasocial power trips, and the Fifty Shades pipeline that proved E.L. James wasn't the only one who could monetize her Twilight feelings. Press play, culties, your kudos await.

Sandra and Kasey are thrilled to welcome back MJ, also known as IncogNinja and ThoughtsLikeAMinefield, a beloved author in the Supernatural fandom, known for her emotionally raw fanfiction. In this episode, they dive deep into MJ's Soldier Boy/OFC fanfic, “You Will Hollow Out My Heart And I Will Haunt Your Bed,” exploring complex characters far removed from the usual Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester narratives. With decades of experience in fandom, MJ shares her insights on the evolution of fan communities and storytelling through fanfiction. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion about tackling difficult themes and the power of fanfic in shaping the Supernatural fan experience.You can find MJ on tumblr and the fic “You Will Hollow Out My Heart And I Will Haunt Your Bed” on AO3.~~~We're taking you for a spin in Baby's backseat.Dean's House Rules - Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole, and the ones in the back enjoy the ride... idling in the Impala.~~~~~TL;DR - If you can't be bothered clicking on all the things in this description, just visit our website: idlingintheimpala.comWe'd love to hear your thoughts.

Episode Notes Grace and James saw Zootopia at the end of last year and have been meaning to discuss it ever since, join us as we barely do that, and instead tangent to other furry adjacent topics; including the objectively better film The Bad Guys 2, Reg the fox mascot of a local railway station, and what we think Keir Starmer's fursona would be.

A great story is truly timeless. However, since “A Question of Price” is pretty mid at best, we're giving it a little less than 90 minutes. In our newest side quest, we're returning to the world of Witcher comics to discuss Dark Horse's adaptation of the Andrzej Sapkowski short story, determining if this recent graphic novel has anything new to offer besides some pretty art. (In fairness, it's VERY pretty art.) Does the story that introduced The Witcher's Law of Surprise still hold some surprises of its own? Does the return of “Headband Geralt” hit differently after Crossroads of Ravens? And does Calanthe bring that milf energy and thirst for Geralt that she has in other versions of this story? Sharpen your swords and don your doublets, we're returning to Cintra!

In this episode we're joined by the hilarious (Blessdtoaster just avert your eyes) Rogue_Roxy. The creator behind Oops! I Joined The Good Guys, Where The Duck Is Minerva McGonagall and more. Thankfully, Roxy agreed to a take two of our conversation, after the first one was plagued by sound/delay issues. It took (not a lot of) convincing and here we are! You're in for a treat because this one takes quite a few twists and turns. We get to yapping about Smut, LOTR, Drag Queens, Mint Body Wash (IFYKYK), Draco in braces, the absolute brilliant binding community and SOOO much more. You can find Rogue_Roxy on AO3 and Instagram.If you love our show, don't forget to subscribe, leave us a review, and share your favorite Dramione moments with us on social media.

This week, we're stealing a couple hours of your time to discuss The Rats: A Witcher Tale, the prequel movie that dropped at the same time as Season 4 and is designed to be watched after it…despite taking place well before. (The Witcher's up to its timeline shenanigans again, it seems.) Paired with the perfectly-themed Master of the Thieves Guild Blended Bourbon by Quest's End Whiskey, we keep things loose, lively and liquidated as we unpack the plots—meaning both the film's narrative and the Rats' plot to steal loads of cash—and try to figure out just what happened to this thing behind the scenes. Also, we come out in favor of bathing with a drunken Dolph Lundgren, debate the role of cephalopods in sex dens and reveal why when it comes to spider women, most movies just like to tease.

In this episode of Idling In The Impala, Sandra and Kasey dive into Supernatural fanfiction with fanfic author Laili, known across Tumblr and AO3 as spn-fanfic-reblog-writes. Focusing on the Omegaverse trope within the Supernatural fandom, Laili shares insights into how characters like Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester are reimagined, and discusses the joy and diversity within fanfiction communities. From exploring the dynamics of Omegaverse shipping to highlighting fanfic recommendations and the importance of inclusive fandom spaces, this interview offers a rich perspective for any Supernatural fan or writer. Join us as we celebrate the creativity behind SPN fanfiction and the thriving community that keeps Dean and Sam Winchester's stories alive beyond the screen.You can find Laili on tumblr and AO3.Reference Doc: Omegaverse Worldbuilding by Laili~~~We're taking you for a spin in Baby's backseat.Dean's House Rules - Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole, and the ones in the back enjoy the ride... idling in the Impala.~~~~~TL;DR - If you can't be bothered clicking on all the things in this description, just visit our website: idlingintheimpala.comWe'd love to hear your thoughts.

With so much of the world focused on games right now, it seemed only natural for us to do the same and the results are pure off-the-rails gold. (If they gave medals for going on random tangents, we'd be the competitors to beat.) In this new side quest, we discuss Reigns: The Witcher, the just-announced Witcher mobile game releasing later this month, before we deep dive into all the recent rumors about a possible new Witcher 3 DLC. Could they be true, and if so, what would we like to see? We consider the pros and cons of releasing DLC for a game that's now over a decade old before we wrap up with Valerie's thoughts on The Conqueror's Witcher Virtual Challenge and why she may never make it out of Velen. Oh, and we wind up talking about sex cards. Because of course we do.

It's been a remarkable ride, but The Witcher's fourth season has finally reached its end and it's going out with a splash! (As in river water, not whiskey. We're not THAT drunk.) With Geralt and co. looking to cross the Yaruga, we open up a bottle of Flatboat Kentucky Straight Single Barrel Bourbon to help them on their journey. Unlike our favorite witcher, no arrows are shot at us as we discuss the fast-paced finale, not even when we rant about what may be Valerie's least favorite Yen outfit so far, tear into the utterly nonsensical monster fight and roll our eyes at the fact that Nimue is still going on about destiny while possibly traumatizing a child. More positively, we welcome Milva back to the show (seriously, girl, where did you go?), declare our allegiance to Queen Meve and wonder if the Rats should have reconsidered that offer Bonhart made them. It's an unforgettable discussion full of twists, turns and the occasional movie rec, as we say goodbye to our favorite fantasy franchise for another season!

We're back with Season 3 and up first is one of my faves!! Angie aka galfoy is an incredible writer who began posting back in 2011 on fanfiction.net. I read her one-shot 'Red Door 79' and saw the beautiful art by (former guest) Landbeorht and was hooked. I immediately subscribed and have been a huge fan ever since. In the episode we chat about how far fanfiction has come with the rise of AO3, some of her favorite nostalgic fics and writers, politics in fanfiction, how home renovations are never a good idea and so much more.

Fic Clique goes TTRPG in Nic's 2026 birthday episode! Join us as our GM (Nic) leads two intrepid warriors (played by Brenna and Reid) through a variety of settings and tropes on a quest to save AO3 from bad actors and maintain the integrity of fanfiction as a vehicle for even the most unlikely characters to fall in love. We're playing a system so simple it feels wrong to say it's heavily adapted from D&D, but that's technically what's happening here! So whether you're a seasoned TTRPG fan or dipping your toe in for the first time, anyone should be able to jump in, get oriented, and enjoy the hijinks.

With Season 4's seventh episode offering a break from the action, it felt like the perfect time for a smoke—as in a seriously peated Islay scotch! Geralt may be the one struggling with the actual monster this week, but Ardbeg's Wee Beastie proves formidable as well…or at least its tasting notes do, which nearly prove to be too much for Valerie. We also find we have questions for Yen and her crazy glamping tent, ponder whether Ciri and Mistle broke up and we all just missed it, and discuss the merits of sleeping with rusalkas. (It might be fun, but probably not in a swamp.) Plus, we say farewell to some great characters, agree yet again on the episode's Kaer Moron and get a bit extra with our post-credits outtake!

Fortify the walls, ready your defenses and for heaven's sake, be careful where you swing that hammer—this week we're talking about Season 4's action-packed sixth episode! With Yennefer leading the charge at Montecalvo, we're paying tribute to Anya Chalotra with a bottle of Nirvana Indian Single Malt Whisky and a discussion that asks all the hard questions: Why doesn't Philippa just use magic? How did we wind up with druids? Was Vilgefortz's magical facelift worth it? (We may think so, but we doubt the mages who sacrificed themselves for it agree.) And what the heck is that gunk that's in everyone's hair anyhow? We also discuss the episode's many deaths, question what some sorceresses wear into battle and explain why a little child neglect goes a long way when it comes to Leo Bonhart.

We hope you brought your appetite…for drunken discussion! We're back with our first episode of 2026, where we're diving into Season 4's celebration of camping out (both literally and figuratively) and baring your soul over a bowl of fish soup. Accompanied by a bottle of True Story Finished Bourbon, we share some surprisingly strong opinions about the episode's infamous musical interlude, declare our undying love for random nonsense, and explain how while he may no longer drink blood, Regis clearly has no problem drinking Marvel's milkshake. We also debate whether sick = sexy when it comes to Jaskier, formally declare that Milva's the smartest person in the room and actually agree on a Kaer Moron for once. It's a tasty, tantalizing talk about the most mouthwatering episode of the season that's guaranteed to leave you hungry for everything to come. (Note to self: In the future, don't write these episode descriptions before you've had dinner.)
