I DO BELIEVE IN FAERIES! This week, Scott and Alex Mirabal talk about the entertaining, but deeply flawed, Carnival Row. The fantasy TV series power vacuum left by Game of Thrones has spat out another show for us to review (and yes we know vacuums suck things, not spit them out but just ignore that please, thanks ever so much), and unlike Dark Crystal last week, there's more to talk about. Unfortunately a lot of it is bad. But some of it's good! But not enough. Or maybe not! I dunno. Figure it out for yourselves, we can't hold your hand through your whole life.

What the Fraggle? A good fantasy TV show? Praise Frank Oz and all his muppety minions! Scott and Mark Russell sit down to discuss a franchise that they both arrived late to, but nonetheless cherish deeply, as they talk about the newest iteration of the Dark Crystal saga. From the perfect puppetry, to the stupendous story, it's a tale Jim Henson would be proud of, and one you should absolutely watch. Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeEdited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Jim Henson’s other works, Expanded Universe, and Casting - 02:30Side Stories, Cute and Horrifying, and Everything Comes Together - 30:00Scary Bug Party, Set Up For Next Season, and Final Thoughts - 1:05:00

In a new format that is in no way an exercise in flagrant ego-boosting, Scott tries to not only criticise a movie, but discuss how it would be so much better if HE wrote it instead. Joined by Jillian Diblasio, Scott points out the pitfalls of the much maligned Episode 7 of the Star Wars saga, and tries to inject some pathos, better character arcs, and even, dare we say, a wee bit of originality into the film. And we're sure he's the first one to do so, too.  Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeSupport us on Patreon.com/ap2hyc and get bonus content, merchandise, and more.Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Re-treading Old Ground, Backstory, and History - 04:30Opening Crawl, Ben Solo, and Rey & Finn - 26:52Daddy Problems, One Final Twist, and Missed Opportunities - 1:02:00

This week, Scott is joined by the creator of Lou Scannon, Druid Investigations, and the Podcapers logo, Dan Harris! I know, we thought it was about bloody time too. In amongst many, many, MANY tangents, Scott and Dan discuss his varied works, his process for making them, and what the future holds. Also, a zombie kids show.Check out the Kickstarter for Cosplayer, plus Dan's Patreon!DISCLAIMER. One of Scott's comments on the Sony/Marvel deal may be slightly inaccurate. Sony pays for production of all Spider-Man movies, even in the MCU. Marvel does, however, still do all the actual production work.

Well that was quick. Despite the fast turnaround since the last season and the fact that this season is only six episodes, Scott and Alex Mirabal still love this show! With there still being plenty to talk about, plenty of cool action, and plenty of GAY AWESOMNESS, this is a show they're going to stick to for a long while!Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeSupport us on Patreon.com/ap2hyc and get bonus content, merchandise, and more.Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Pennyworth, Perlmutter, and Shadow Weaver’s Plan -03:10Huntara, Hordtrapta, and Catra in Charge - 30:00The Nothing, Angella Finally Does Something, and Final Thoughts - 57:20

It's that time of year again! Scott is joined by Alex Mirabal to announce the winners of this year's TV Awards. It's a prestigious honour and there are many nominees but thankfully, because this is a podcast, there are no drunken celebrities rambling on during their acceptance speech. You know who you are.

Fighting evil by moonlight...and also during the day, it's Sailor Moon! And Scott knows next to nothing about her. So Mark Russell is giving him a crash course in the magical girl genre and getting him more acquainted with teenagers in miniskirts fighting crime.

Ugh. Just...ugh. Don't see this movie. Please don't see this movie. By all means, listen to Scott and Mark Russell tell you in explicit detail WHY you shouldn't see this movie. But don't see this movie. Instead, if you can, please donate to this appeal for the victims of the Kyoto Animation attack: Help KyoAni Heal. They are far more deserving of your time and money than this.Also remember to vote in the AP2HYC TV Awards!Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeSupport us on Patreon.com/ap2hyc and get bonus content, merchandise, and more.Timecode:Cats Trailer, The Original, and Missed Opportunities - 01:40Trickle Down Economics, Disappointments, and Racist Subtext - 24:50Fart Jokes, Failed Climax, and Scott's Epic Disney Rant - 51:55

Who wants to hear about a love story...a bit broken? Scott certainly does, as he's joined by writer and artist Emma Vieceli to talk about the Kickstarter for Vol 2 of her smash hit webcomic turned graphic novel BREAKS. Also, they observe some trends in the comic to film adaptation process, gush about episodic adventure games, and note how similar the British school experience is to being in the mafia. Because if you don't know what this show is all about by now, there's no helping you.Check out the Kickstarter, and Emma's other work!Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeSupport us on Patreon.com/ap2hyc and get bonus content, merchandise, and more.Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:Emma’s background, Life is Strange, and Writing Styles - 03:00Spence, Pacing, and Other Work - 25:00Dragon Heir, Manga in the UK, and the Future

The MCU continues on, with our old pal Spidey holding the torch. And Scott is joined by Jillian Diblasio to see whether this particular torch bearer carries the flame tall and proud, or trips and falls flat on his face, all while the gathered people point and laugh and record in on their smartphones.

Podcapers is going all intellectual this week, as Scott is joined by Chelsi Slotten to talk about the psychology of superheroes. One of them is in over their head and it's probably not the one that's an actual academic. Will Scott's decade old A-Level Psychology studies help him contribute to the discussion? Or will he just make the astute and never commented on before observation that Batman is a bit messed up?Check out Chelsi's Podcast!

The Caped Crusader meets the Heroes in a Half Shell! Good news: Scott is reviewing something actually good this week for a change. Bad news: it's DC related. He's joined by Alex Mirabal to talk about the recent Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and how it might be the best Batman Vs movie you could see. But admittedly, that's a low hurdle to jump over.Listen & Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | PodBean | Podchaser | Podparadise | Listen Notes |  Player.FM | RSSFollow us on:Twitter: @AP2HYCInstagram: @AP2HYCFacebook.com/AP2HYCYouTube.com/AP2HYCapeSupport us on Patreon.com/ap2hyc and get bonus content, merchandise, and more.Edited by Alexandra MirabalTimecode:DC/Warner Crossovers, TMNT Censorship, and Bruce Timm - 03:00The Ooze, A Crazy Body Count, and Tone Problems - 30:00Big Awesome Fights, DC’s Animated Movies, and Final Thoughts - 60:00

♫ Here come the Men in Blaaaack! ♫ This week, Scott is joined by AP2HYC's Cosplay Hero Kit "Puddy Geeks" Horsely to talk about the latest Men in Black movie.

As the main Fox made X-Men movies draw to a close, Scott is joined by Dara Berkey to discuss the swan song of the Children of the Atom.

Happy Pride Month everybody! To celebrate, Scott is joined by Alex Mirabal to count down both of their picks for the best representations of LGBTQIA+ superheroes! And whilst there definitely needs to be more representation out there, the ones they did pick are excellent.

Do spoilers even count for this one? Ah, who cares? It's yet another Disney remake, so Scott has no choice but to lambaste it with Mark Russell. Well, actually he does have a choice. He actively chose to review this.

Magic and mystery are afoot this week on Podcapers, as Scott talks with author Bron James about his contemporary fantasy book series, Sam Hain.
