Episode 2 of Sherloctober 2018 sees returning mainstay and Reccers Kristie drop in to talk about the 2018 HBO Asia/Hulu co-production 'Miss Sherlock', a modern take on the Holmes template set in Japan with female leads. Kristie uses her vast expertise to explain how the Japanese concept of Omoiyari influences the depiction of a character derived from Sherlock Holmes, the South Korean show 'Queen of Mystery' is discussed and we end up talking about Batman again, sorry.

...yeah, sorry about the wait. Stuff happened, including the episode irretrievably devouring itself in Audacity TWICE during the edit. There may have been some crying. There was definitely some swearing. BUT ANYWAY, Kristie and Matty are back to share their thoughts on The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin and The Raccoons, a cartoon from the Eighties. Please Enjoy.

We're back and switching it up after one episode, this time we're joined by new co-host Erica who is very much the Fonz to our...I don't actually remember anyone from that show except the Fonz, which if anything only further serves to prove my point! In your face, haters. As usual we talk about our recent acquisitions, upcoming new releases we have our eyes on, Becka's Megatron problem and round out by sharing our hottest takes on the Bumblebee Movie trailer! Also we do swears and say the most

It's only your old pals Becka, Umar and Matty doing a Transformers/assorted robos podcast, innit. We kick off by discussing what bots we've picked up recently, what we're looking forward to and the various Transformers media we've been exposing ourselves to. Thrill to your erudite and fashionable hosts valiantly battling through thunderstorm-induced lack of sleep and various audio interruptions to bring you the best Plastic Robot Nattering they're capable of

What links a fantasy novel by Hugo Award-winning author N. K. Jemisin and a Canadian cartoon from the 1980s? Nothing as far as we know, except that they're what Kristie and Matty are each bringing to this episode of The Reccers!

2018/03/31

This episode's guest is romance author Cat Sebastian, so the book we're experiencing is Ring of the Ruby Dragon by Jeannie Black from TSR's HeartQuest subline, an attempt to combine early 80's Dungeons & Dragons with the time-honoured romantic fiction tropes of All Kissing And That.

Matty digs out the 1984 Dragontales gamebook Sword Daughter's Quest by Rhondi Vilott and reads it to Garrett Robinson, author of the Underrealm series. Tyrna's travelling party have been bumped off by Orcs, including her dad. 'Fortunately' (note sarcastic quotes), a Half-Elf ranger with a very...distinctive name shows up to 'help' her as she sets out to...vengeance? Or something? It's not terribly clear. Garrett can be found: On Twitter! On Youtube! and On Patreon! Garrett's books can be found on

The Reccers return with a very literary episode! This time out, we'll be exchanging the TV series Antiquarian Bookshop Biblia's Casefiles and the romance novel Heart of the Steal by Avon Gale and Roan Parrish. (This is our second attempt to record this episode due to technical problems, and doing it the second time made it run short, BUT we were able to add to its length by suddenly veering off into an impromptu discussion of our favourite Godzilla movies because we're professionals god

Sherloctober 2017 comes to a close and Kristie and Matty revisit their recommendations to each other, the gloriously 90's TV movie 1994 Baker Street: Sherlock Holmes Returns and the excellent-in-every-way novel A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas. (There's a very minor not-really-even-a-spoiler spoiler for a very small aspect of A Study in Scarlet Women from 55:00 to 56:39 but maybe skip it if you haven't read it and want to, which you should, because it's brilliant)

Kristie's back, and she's brought a list of her Top Five Sherlock Holmes...Things! And demanded Matty do the same, so prepare yourself for discussion of TV shows, Deducifyin' Cowboy Brothers, Young Lady Detectives, Cartoon Dogs and Opera Ghosts! Content Warning: Around 21 minutes in, we discuss the TV show Elementary and focus in particular on a main character whose storyline involves kidnapping and sexual abuse. If you'd prefer not to listen to this section of the episode, we recommend skipping

For week 3 of Sherloctober, Matty teams up with Becka from The Civil Podcast Network, who has graciously agreed to contribute her considerable bucketful of Sherlockspertise to the project.(A bucketful is what a Spand is, if you're wondering. It can also mean a team of two. I can words good, shut up.)

Kristie and Matty return with more recommendations, this time for an anime film exploring the experience of being deaf in modern Japan and a series of Youtube video essays acting as an introduction to film studies using the live-action Transformers movies as a base.

Two weeks ago Kristie and Matty recommended stuff to each other, now find out what they thought as they repeatedly meander back and forth about both of them for around an hour and a half! Some NSFW discussion including an overly-literal interpretation of the term Cockpit and an off-topic tangent on what can only be described Shark Prince Doubledick.
