She doesn't even go here! This week, V and Emily are joined by a friend who, indeed, does not normally go here, but we're glad she did for this episode: Allegra Ponti from STAN Podcast. She is here to join our cafeteria clique as we discuss the 2004 movie phenomenon Mean Girls, and how the worldwide fandom for this movie a) destroyed Lindsay Lohan, and b) shaped our own high school experiences to varying degrees. (While we didn't have time to get into it in the episode, the Broadway musical and 2024 film musical are also big fandoms in their own right! Toxic femslashers rise!) We discuss the differences between American and British school culture, the 2000s cultural exports of the United States, and the continual cycle of Hollywood child sacrifices. Plus, another installment of V's teachers not knowing how to handle a very lesbian, very fannish child!SourcesSo Fetch: The Making of Mean Girls and Why We're Still So Obsessed With It, Jennifer Keishin ArmstrongCalling It: Bama RushTok Is Over by Anne Helen PetersenLindsay Lohan for Rolling Stone (2004)PromoTGI Femslash - Our favorite fan convention, TGIF/F, is happening soon!

PHIL LESTER, YOU'RE A GENIUS! This week's episode is a little different. This week, Emily and V finally release an episode that has been sitting in our vault for over a year — not because it wasn't good, but because the universe pulled off one of the most chaotic, timeline‑breaking acts of accidental fandom trolling we've ever witnessed.We originally recorded this episode as a thoughtful, slightly exasperated look at Dan & Phil shipping culture — how two creators became the center of one of the internet's most enduring RPF fandoms, how fans blurred the lines between performance and reality, and why it's important to remember the fiction part of Real Person Fiction.We talked about boundaries.We talked about ethics.We talked about how there was no evidence of a real‑life romantic relationship.And then — about 24 hours later — Dan and Phil announced their relationship.Not only that: they announced they had been together since 2009.So not only did reality Joss our episode…It Jossed fifteen years of fandom history with one press release.We took a breath. We texted each other memes of Ben Affleck smoking on a balcony (you know the one), and then shelved the episode until it fit the calendar. And now — finally — it is time. Join 2025 TWIFH discussing 2014 Dan & Phil, and let 2026 you laugh at our misfortune.---SourcesFanloreThe Secrets of the SlashersAre Dan & Phil In a Relationship?

Hunters, get your salt! This week, V and Emily are joined by friend-of-the-pod Heidi Tandy, who calls in from San Diego Comic-Con 2026 to discuss the fandom that spells SDCC for her, and thousands of others in the fannish community: Supernatural. The premiere of the show on the WB (progenitor of The CW) in 2005 changed fandom permanently, in more ways than could possibly be discussed in one hour. But SPN also changed fandom for Heidi, personally, in ways big and small, and we're delighted to hear all about them from the room where it happened. We dish about LiveJournal's early rush to create communities, the prevalence of Wincest fanfiction, and how Supernatural's relationship to its fans evolved over its long run. Supernatural, like the other S-named fandoms before it (Star Trek, Star Wars, and Sherlock Holmes, natch) is a Fandom Of All Time.

Aiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiiii! This week, Emily and V head back to the mid‑90s — the era of dial‑up internet and aggressively pointy shoulderpads — to revisit the rise of Xena: Warrior Princess. It's hard to overstate how much this show reshaped the fandom landscape: a morally complicated heroine, a narrative built on redemption… and a relationship between two women that sparked decades of essays, fanfic, fanvids, and lovingly chaotic forum debates. The Xenites weren't just early adopters of online fandom. They were architects of it. Come wander the hills of ancient Greece (New Zealand) with us as we look at how one warrior princess carved out a space that still echoes today.(Make sure you sign up for our newsletter to get some phenomenal Xena fic recs in tomorrow's edition!)SourcesThe History of Xena Fanfiction On the Internet by LunacyA Cyber History of the Online Xena Community: Part I -- September 1995 To June 1996How Xena: Warrior Princess Earned a Permanent Spot In Pop CulturePromoSuper Sorry - Have you ever watched a Marvel movie and thought, “Wow, somebody really owes somebody an apology?” Like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers in Civil War.

Absolute potato! This week, TWIFH is delighted to bring you a special preview of Femme & Furious, a new pod-friend and great listen for fans of fandom, and especially for listeners who liked our old behind-the-scenes pop culture rundown episodes for Patreon. In this episode, our friend Julia Portela looks with a feminist lens at five (secretly six) pieces of extremely current media: Obsession, The Drama, Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Sterling Point, and the novel Girl's Girl by Sonia Feldman. Julia is funny, smart, and definitely a fangirl. Listen to our #Gamergate episode over on her feed, too!---This week on Femme & Furious, we're breaking our own format because while it's technically a "Fast 5," we've got six properties on deck, because there was too much good pop culture to cover this month. Spoiler-free pitches up top for each one, then we go all the way in with spoilers, feminist analysis, and a few unhinged theories. What I'm covering: Obsession — the viral horror hit that outran Supergirl in theaters, the "man or the bear" discourse hiding in plain sight, and why Bear is absolutely a dog guy. The Drama — Zendaya and Robert Pattinson's wedding-week-gone-wrong dark comedy from Kristoffer Borgli, and the racial double standard baked into who gets forgiven for what. Odyssey — Christopher Nolan's mythic epic, the Emily Wilson feud, and a full breakdown of Circe, Calypso, Helen, Clytemnestra, and a theory about who Athena really is. Spider-Man: Brand New Day — Tom Holland's loneliest Peter Parker yet, the Frank Castle friendship that's carrying the movie, and a hard pass on that Little Caesars order. Sterling Point — Amazon's CW-coded YA drama, a love triangle the writing doesn't quite earn, and the most joyful period scene we've seen on TV ever. Girl's Girl by Sonia Feldman — one of my favorite books of the year, a queer coming-of-age story about girlhood, friendship, and phones as a silent second language.

Never enough! This week, V and Emily travel back to TWIFH's oldest historical event thus far: opera singer Jenny Lind's landmark 1850 tour in the United States and its accompanying “Lindmania.” Did you know that the fangirls of 1850 were Just Like Us? They sobbed, they squeed, they schemed to meet their faves, and they spent way, WAY too much on concert tickets. The quotes from antebellum Lind fans reacting to hearing secular music for the first time give us the chills. Come wait outside the stage doors with us for a glimpse at the Swedish Nightingale.SourcesListening & Longing: Music Lovers in the Age of Barnum by Daniel Cavicchi"Fandom Before 'Fan'" by Daniel CavicchiWikipediaMassachusetts Historical SocietyPromoSuper Sorry - Have you ever watched a Marvel movie and thought, "Wow, somebody really owes somebody an apology?"

In the 10-episode first season, we follow Harper, a thirty-six year old nihilist whose life is upended when she's possessed by a demon hell-bent on bringing about the apocalypse. Harper doesn't want to end the world, but the demon gives her more power than she's had in her life in a long time. In a world where so many people abuse their power, will Harper be any different? Blending sharp satire with genre flair and wickedly lovable antiheroes, Two Thousand and Late is ideal for fans of Fleabag, Killing Eve, The Craft, Jennifer's Body, Yellowjackets, True Blood, and Venom. It's a potent cocktail of feminist rage, queer power, and supernatural mischief. It's unapologetically angry, surprisingly tender, and deeply entertaining.

No pithy exclamation this week, because we are too angry. While #Gamergate easily warrants an entire long-form investigative podcast all on its own, Emily did a fantastic job condensing it down to one infuriating hour for V. We look at both the surface and underlying reasons behind the reactionary far-right gamer movement, as well as its continuing fallout and the ways that it has irrevocably changed the entire modern world.

What happened to your shirt?! This week, V and Emily indulge in talking about one of their favorite MCU films -- and the most handsome star of the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and its star, Simu Liu.

Listen as we make a case for everyone to hop on board the Shang-Chi train and start including Shang-Chi, Katy, and Xialing in their fanworks before Doomsday comes to doom us all.

ONE FINAL ADVENTURE inside the holodeck is what the writers had in mind for the antepenultimate episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Is it a big swing that connects? Joining Bryan to render a final verdict is TV reviewer Diana Keng (@diana4tv), who wrote hundreds of Star Trek reviews for TV Fanatic, but now provides her talents to another of outlets. Does the 30th anniversary of this episode's premiere make the hosts nostalgic or has time allowed them to more soberly assess one of the last episodes of a foundational show? The grades begin at (24:40).

First up is the return of Jay Magnum, who discusses his current Kickstarter for Galaxy Gal #1! Here's how that book is described: “Join us as Commander Gal Gallant, plucky heroine of the intrepid Galaxy Patrol, faces off against her arch-nemesis, the dastardly, planet-destroying Doctor Deathbeam, across two future timelines (a fun ‘retro' timeline, and a sleek 'modern' timeline!) in this satirical, cheeky romp through the universe!” We discuss who Galaxy Gal is, her supporting cast, and what else is coming from Jay's Astral graphic novel universe! Be sure to back this project before it concludes on Tuesday, March 21, at 10:00 p.m. ET! Then everything wraps up with Sam Johnson's return to the podcast as we talk about what's the latest happenings with Geek-Girl, including his present Kickstarter for Geek-Girl: Identity Crisis! The crowdfunding project is described this way: “Super-heroes meets mean girls plus weirdness in the Geek-Girl ongoing series!” Sam talks about what's going on with Geek-Girl and updates us on what else is coming from Sam in the months ahead! This Kickstarter will conclude on Monday, April 1, at 12:00 a.m. EDT, so be sure to back this project once you have finished listening to this great interview!

Why does it matter who reviews our video games? That's today's big question, and my guest is Swapna Krishna. Swapna and I recorded this conversation in 2022, and as gaming and the entire media ecosystem changes and evolves and is pulled apart and merged, it's more important than ever to find reputable sources we not only trust, but who we have a connection with, and that's why representation matters so much. Swapna is a writer and journalist covering space, science, tech, and pop culture, and writes some of the most empathetic tech, and pop culture commentary on the web. She writes everywhere from Fast Company to StarWars.com, from StarTrek.com to Business Insider and the LA Times, Bitch Magazine, Bustle, Mental Floss, and more. Swapna has appeared on a bazillion excellent podcasts, she's been at ComicCon, she's the co-host of the Desi Geek Girls Podcast, and the host of PBS's show, Far Out. -----------Have feedback or questions?
