176 - Dead Moms Club

176 - Dead Moms Club

There are many tropes that have endured for the ages, but none quite so popular as the Dead Mom Phenomenon. Everywhere we look in films, books, TVs shows, etc. moms are dropping like flies. Em is joined once again by two lovely motherless mongrels, Carly and Farleigh to breakdown why moms are such easy targets in fiction, talk about our favorite fictional moms, and of course, get off topic at least a few times.

For our first episode of 2023, I Ship It's went coast-to-coast like butter on toast with Carly and Farleigh joining Em to bring three time zones together to talk about everyone's favorite vampire with a soul...and also a little bit about Angel. That's right, we're going on a deep dive about that bleach-blonde menace, The Big Bad himself: Spike.

172 - Cringemas 2022

A million years ago, we had something call the Cringe Binge. This is the opposite of that. No more hiding our cringe in shame. Nothing matters and we're adults who like things. Join us for a celebration of no longer being burdened by the opinons of others and getting out there (into the internet) and writing/reading literally whatever the hell you want. Go on, get cringey. It's our gift to you this holiday season.

170 - Nancy Wheeler and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Love Triangle

170 - Nancy Wheeler and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Love Triangle

We can all agree that Nancy Wheeler did not start out as anyone's favorite, right? Our new friend, Farleigh joins us to discuss the Wheeler's eldest child and a whole bunch of other things, like how by season four, she's more than made up for her whiney fifteen year-old introduction and has turned into a shotgun-sawing, monster-slaying, genuine bad. ass. And definitely deserving of a better storyline than a tired-ass love triangle that we all thought was settled by the end of the second season.

169 - We Need to Talk About Kevin

169 - We Need to Talk About Kevin

Once upon a time, Marvel and the MCU created characters (both good and bad) who were all pretty much, under the surface, redeemable figures. They said "Bad guys are just misunderstood good guys and if we can't make you love a character we can at least make you sympathize with them by showing you how they were tormented by the evil Nazi regime that's at the heart of all the bad stuff in this universe." And we were like, "Yeah, fine. Cool. I'm on board." And then somewhere along the line, the PTB decided that the message they really wanted to put across was that everything bad that happens to you is your fault and your trauma is something that you need to apologize for. And V and Emily were like, "Huh-uh. Not on our watch." Basically, we're not super stoked about Thunderbolts, alright?

V is back to share in the joy, the bliss, the unmitigated rapture that comes from finding a new ship in an unexpected places. Yes, it is true that Chrissy and Eddie only had a brief moment together in canon, but fanfic has done what fanfic does and ensured that their love will blossom and live forever on the internet. Also, a less-than-friendly reminder about parasocial relationships, another million reasons why bullying is never, EVER okay (ESPECIALLY when it's over fictional characters, people,) and some sad news when Emily reminds 99.99999% of the population that, try as they might, they will not be marrying Joseph Quinn.

Mia returns for our first episode on opposite coasts (Omigod, guys. THE SADNESS.) to talk about some new MCU disappointment, history of the AIDS crisis, and Emily's new obsession: Stranger Things. Specifically how Stranger Things is getting their depiction of teenaged homosexuality in 1986 sadly, truly, right. Join us for some good ol' fashioned salt mining, giggling about the shared braincell of Steve and Robin's epic friendship, and a long and winding list of all the reasons Will Byers is too good for the world he inhabits.

157 - Diz and the City

Diz was a Samantha. Em was a Miranda. That girl who took over Em's lease was a TOTAL Carrie in all the worst ways.

What are we talking about this week?

Why, Sex and the City, of course. We finally convinced Diz to pay us a visit in Shipper City so we can talk about the original series, the two movies (only one of which we really acknowledge) and of course, the newest chapter, And Just Like That.

Plus bonus talk of seriously questionable choices made in college, how Steve is the best and Carrie is the worst and of course, why the writers thought we needed to be punished with the "comedy concerts" of Che Diaz.

DC clearly hasn't spent enough time online if they think their little censorship of Batman and Catwoman's sex life is warranted or even remotely in character. But that's all well and good because the entire internet banded together to let them know what exactly makes Batman so heroic where Catwoman is concerned.

135 - Sweet Baby Angel

135 - Sweet Baby Angel

On this dreary-as-all-get-out day to record, Emily looks at fandom's own personal ray of sunshine, the sweetest of baby angels, Joaquin Torres from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. (Oh, did you think she was done talking about this show? She isn't. She never will be. Adjust accordingly.) Listen to her gush about all his wonderful qualities and witness a true miracle of his sweetness and light turning her terrible mood around in just a few short minutes.

134 - And They Were Out of Quarantine

134 - And They Were Out of Quarantine

It used to be you'd live through one major, horrific, generation-defining experience every 50-60 years or so. Lucky for us, our generation gets freshly defined by something new and horrible every 18-24 months whether we like it or not. But regardless of everything else that's happened, with the CDC's new lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, a lot of feelings are being churned up. It's time for one final look at the trope that cropped up a little over a year ago to help us deal with What Fresh Hell was delivered to us that day and say farewell to the Quarantine Fic.

133 - Fleur de Louve

133 - Fleur de Louve

Emily's had a rough few weeks, guys, so you'll be indulging her this week while she talks very briefly (as in, she COULD go on for another two hours if anyone wants to volunteer to be a guest and talk more about this in detail) about the new love of her fandom life: the love between Sarah Wilson and Bucky Barnes. Climb aboard the SS Fleur de Louve (thanks for the ship name, Mia!) and revel in a love so deep and pure that even the cast and crew are shipping it.

132 - Let's Hear it for Captain America

Another birthday party in Shipper City! This week Grimey is here and celebrating Mr. Captain America himself, Samuel Thomas Wilson. Sooo many spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier so if you haven't watched it yet, you might want to wait to party with us. But for everyone else, kick back and listen to two hours of waxing poetic on our sexy, competent, kind Cap.

And this week we've got video! Click here to watch.

129 - Play that Funky Music, Fanfic

Nia's back after so long to talk about a little-known, oft-overlooked slice of fandom: the playlist. Listen in as we talk about curating mixes for our favorite characters and ships, songs to write or read to, and sink into the idea of how much music brings to the fan space.

Grimey's here for a birthday party this time for everyone's second favorite Pisces, James Buchanan Barnes. Ol' Bucky Bear has come a long way since being named after (allegedly) the worst president in United States history and it's high time we celebrate that.

127 - Come with Caution

127 - Come with Caution

Brittany returns to the halls of Shipper City to discuss everyone's beloved 90's icon, vampire slayer, Buffy Summers. Among the nostalgia is the realization that some of the things we once considered peak romance are, in fact, horribly predatory and very gross in hindsight (lookin' at you, Angel), as well as a nice little deep dive into what it means in Sunnydale to "Experience a Moment of Perfect Happiness."
