Episode 93: Vampire Hunter D - For One Day's Rule

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/08/10

Special guest Chris is enlisted as a minion on our ageless, decadent podcast to discuss a Vampire Hunter D fanfic out of a 1980s anime fanzine. Rei Ginsei has a rough and confusing backstory. Facing down vampires is, in fact, terrifying. Everybody finds something to like about the award-winning art, but nobody can agree on what.

Episode 92: Angel/Screwtape Letters: A Letter from...

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/08/03

We're delighted to find an epistolary fanfic based on everyone's favorite C.S. Lewis work that doesn't have any lions in it. The story is only 1600 words, but our meandering conversation takes far more than that. Screwtape's Rolodex is probably pretty impressive. The cosmologies of the Buffyverse and the Screwtape Letters aren't... completely incompatible. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrscrewtape Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good.

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/07/27

We return to everyone's favorite unsettling childhood movie in this sequel to The Secret of NIMH. We spend equal time exploring the rats' sweet-ass civilization, and Elizabeth Brisby's solid single parenting. Meanwhile, a special ops team of rats survives behind enemy lines. And Johnathan Brisby has a lot of explaining to do. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfrnimh Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they are right.

Intrepid partners Amado and Serena unveil the mysteries of Neil Gaiman's award-winning mashup fanfic. Baker Street attracts consulting detectives in any timeline.

Episode 89: Early Edition - Sand and Water

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/07/13

Averting tomorrow's disasters today can be a rough job, and Gary pushes himself a little too far in the process. The author writes what she knows, and what she knows is respiratory illness. Chuck tries to step up to the plate, to limited success. We smile nostalgically about the quaint concept of reading the newspaper.

You'd think that after escaping from his apocalyptic timeline, Future Trunks's life could only improve. But now he has to spend a year trapped in a room with a hateful, malevolent entity that thrives on his anger and bloodlust. And that's just his dad - there's an evil spirit involved, too.

It's the late 60s, and aspiring writer Velma Dinkley and her college buddies are facing some tough choices. For instance, is it better to go to war in Vietnam, or cruise around the country in a sweet hippie van with your best friends and a large dog? ...okay, maybe that choice isn't so hard after all.

RFR Special Episode: Bluey Review

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/06/22

An unexpected gap in the schedule gives Dom and Tory the opportunity to breakdown another new animation. This time they discuss season one of Bluey, an Australian made cartoon for a preschool audience that has been gaining popularity worldwide after being included on Disney+ which emphasizes the importance and benefits of playtime. Would you enjoy watching it even if you're not babysitting a kid? We think so, yes. RFR is a podcast where usually three friends read old fanfiction that they think

Episode 86: Star Trek DS9 - Wavering Alliance

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/06/08

(TW: fucked up non-consensual sex) In the melting pot of Deep Space Nine, can two people of different species who are both sort of smug jerks fall in LOVE? Yes, but it will probably take Shakespearean levels of misery to get someone to confess. "Anthony and Cleopatra" is the book club discussion topic of the day. Dukat is terrible. Garak and Bashir get it on. And on. And on. Link to the story: bit.ly/rfralliance Three friends read old fanfiction that they think might be good. Sometimes they

Episode 85: Transformers - Best First

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/06/01

Thundercracker gets an unexpected promotion that thrusts him into prominence early in the war on Cybertron. He'll grow a little, learn a little, and maybe, just maybe, become a better, kinder evil space robot. Some Transformers are beasts and some are cars, and everyone is just going to have to live with that. Flywheels is more than meets the eye.

Episode 84: Digimon - Perfect Hazzard, Chapters 1-13

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/05/25

Will this Tamers fanfic finally break the Digimon curse? Takato has been written out of reality, but that won't stop him from being the viewpoint character. Forced romantic pairings among children abound. It all reads like an early-2000s https://www.facebook.com/RetroFanficRetrospective/ See our tweets and episode previews at https://twitter.com/RetroFanfic

2020/05/18

Dom and Tory turn away from Retro to talk about some new animation. Midnight Gospel has them waxing philosophical and nerdy as they discuss death, drawing, and what it's like to watch a show so completely unwrapped from reality that it ends up making the most sense.

RFR Special Episode - John Biles Interview

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/05/04

Amado sits down with one of his nostalgic favorite authors, John Biles, to discuss his decades-spanning fanfic writing career. The topics are wide-ranging and very, VERY geeky. We return to the previously-featured "Children of an Elder God" as well as his other major collaboration "Sailor Moon Z." John can't resist a crossover. He also never stops writing.

Thom and Nina of the Mobile Suit Breakdown podcast join Amado to discuss a First Gundam fanfic from 1988. Military cadets Char and Garma are best buds, except for part where one is planning to murder the other. A heist is planned and executed perfectly. The sexual content is shockingly heterosexual.

Episode 81: Calvin & Hobbes - Reminiscence & Geniuses

Retro Fanfic Retrospective ·

2020/04/20

Amado & Taran team up to tackle two short fanfics. In "Reminiscence," an adult Calvin looks back with rose-colored lenses on his childhood, Susie gets fridged, and the torch of imagination is symbolically passed on but also maybe regained somehow. In "Geniuses," college-aged Calvin gains a romantic interest in the form of Jason Fox. And we are so on board with that premise.

We need a lot of help tackling Suburban Senshi, the text fanfic turned irc-formatted fanfic turned sprawling fan project. Luckily the original author himself, Dr. Xadium, joins us to explain just what we're looking at. The breadth of geekiness involved is staggering. Michiru is Dr. X's nemesis.

2020/04/06

Amado and Serena host Cutting Edge Fanfic Deep-cut as we discuss a high-kudos BTS fanfic. Taehyung gets soap opera amnesia. Serena is ARMY and Amado is barely a recruit. The joy of the Vmin pairing is that they can cuddle, stroke, and call each other pet names, and still angst over whether the other person is into them.
