  • What started as our Deadpool episode rapidly went off the rails into talking about other Hugh Jackman related projects, so join us this week as James finds a flimsy excuse to talk about the greatest film ever made: the 2004 action adventure Van Helsing.

    Other tangents include:Was the silver surfer good?Whats the best Les Mis song (and why is Nick wrong about it not being Master of the House)What IS a Wolverine?Who do we ship Ian Mckellen with?Would James save Grace or an Otter in a fight?

    And many many more things!

  • This week, the chaos isn't even our fault! Last opportunity we had to sit down to record things were kicking off in the UK and honestly we wern't in the right mindset for it.

    So here is something we recorded a month ago, where we do some quotev quizzes to find out:

    What kind of Faerie we are?

    What is your Fursona?

    10 Signs you might be a furry?

    And as always, we dick around as we go

    Normal episodes back soon!

  • Hey everyone,

    This is bonus content that didn't make it into the episode, we made Nick take a buzzfeed quiz to find out which Dead Boy Detective he is and we decided to all take part. The answers will not shock you.

    On the way we shill for the worlds best aquarium, this isn't even sponsored but they are very good all the same, go visit if you're ever in Yorkshire.

    The discussion after the 15 minute mark was in the original Dead Boy Detective episode, it just adds context so it felt right to reinclude it.

    Quiz is here if you want to play along, thanks to Buzzfeed for answering lifes great mysteries.

  • This week, all three of the Forecasters unite once again to talk about a topic close to our hearts; British Twinks that Solve Supernatural Mysteries.

    Join us in our Dead Boy Detectives episode, as Grace gets so invested in a ship that she forgets we're recording. James comes to terms with the fact he is 'The Charles' (but only in that he is posh and bossy), and Nick embarks on a quest to find a Dead Boys/Columbo fic, and learns how to serve cunt along the way.

  • This week, in our second failed attempt to get all of us in a room at the same time, Nick and James opt to do the opposite of the last episode by talking about our favourite Milves.

    Join us as we discuss:

    The chaos behind the scenesMILFsA brief lesson in norse mythologyDILFsWhy are Isekais so badly namedAny many many more things

  • This week Grace and James, in a very late Father's Day special, take some time to answer the age old question: Who has the most daddy issues?

    Join us as we take unexpected tangents into real world history, James mixes up something Graces really likes with something Grace really hates, and figure out if the CEO of Red Bull writes Yaoi (probably not).

    If anyone can find the fic Grace is referring to as "The MCU but The Handmaids Tale" PLEASE send it in, if we can reunite it with her it'd be great.

  • We interrupt our usual podcast to bring you an emergency alert, remain indoors and seek shelter from the Fallout.

    This week we return to the Fallout universe. Last time we did a Fallout episode we titled it "Deathclaw Underboob" because we mostly saw Deathclaw content. Now, its the Ghouls turn.

    This was supposed to be the Fallout TV episode, but that doesn't stop Nick from staying exclusively in the New Vegas tag.

  • This week, we conclude our Dungeon Meshi coverage perfectly timed with their season finale (which needless to say, we haven't seen at the time of recording). Join us as we talk about where we've been over the past month and talk about the three fics from Dungeon Meshi we read in that break.

    Grace takes us to a modern magic AU, where monsters are real and so is the thriving monster themed sex toy industry, in 'Accurate Models'. Nick answers a question that has plagued penis-owners for generations ("at what point does it stop being 'just a shake'?") in 'Sword Fighting'. And James once again set out for yuri but found political intrigue in 'Feathers and Fur'. We don't know how this keeps happening to him, but he's very pleased

  • This week, Grace and James take some time to discuss Real Person Fics. James does know that it is RPF and not RFP, but somehow he manages to get it wrong every single time it comes up in this episode.

    Join us as we learn about the hottest poet of the 17th century, Emperor Nero's thirst traps, debate who to ship David Mitchell with, and many many more.

  • This week, the forecasters get into Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon. We came for the fantastic autistic representation and Marcille/Fallin, and while we found that, we also found a surprising amount of thirst for all three foot seven of Chilchuk Tims.

    If that sounds fun, settle in and have a listen.

  • Please sing the title to "Bad Romance", thanks.

    This week, against all odds, we have assembled a Part Two episode for What We Do In The Shadows. Join us at we talk about our favourite fics: James unlocks a secret OTP he didn't know he could want or like in 'I Love You, Colin Robinson'. Nick goes back in time to read Arthur Conan Doyle's very own WWDITS Fanfic, in 'what we do in the shadows (victorian edition)'. And Grace shows us how a Nandor/Guillermo confession would realistically go down, in 'Be Kind, Rewind'.

  • Hey everyone,

    If you listened to our last episode, you'll know Grace's Internet cut out halfway through recording and Nick and I had no idea when she would be back. So we did the only thing we could: immediately derail the episode to talk about the one topic Grace won't let us cove; beloved and frankly top tier Sci-fi series Farscape.

    If you'd like to here us* simp for Aeryn Sun for about 15 minutes before Grace comes back enjoy this interlude. And if you haven't already, go watch Farscape its really good.

    By the way, we're all ill right now and behind on recording, next proper episode may well be late, but it is coming.

    *James

  • This week, the Forecasters venture into the dark corners of the world where only dark horrors lurk. A place so evil that few speak its name. Staten Island.

    Join us, as we figure out once and for all who is the responsible adult of the three presenters, everyone tries their hand at a sketchy accent, and we take a look at the What We Do In the Shadows fandom.

Join us as we look at fics written about the exciting new Wonka lore, find our Car-sonas, and learn just how deep the Magnus Carlsen rabbit hole really goes...

    Back to Cyberpunk fics soon, we promise

  • Wake the fuck up Samurai, we've got fics to read

  • Happy Romance Day

    Today, after four years of making fun of Grace for her kinks, Nick and James (mostly James) spent an hour revealing they know more than is healthy about the website Pornhub.com and its prominent figures.

    We talk about the delightful stats presented by https://www.pornhub.com/insights/ mostly focusing on the 2023 wrap up.

    Back to the fics next Sunday!

  • Captains Log, Stardate -360700.94.

    We have returned to AO3 to stock up on spicy non-human romance stories. Grace, having been freshly introduced to Star Trek has jumped right into the deep end of Garashir. Nick ever fond of the classics, has brought us some Spirk love, and gives us some Vulcan Rizz along the way. James got his wish from the last episode and found a fic about Gul Dukat, but also stops for a little bit of Boimler/Spock (Spoimler?), but not in a way where anyone has fun.

  • Its time.

    I don't know who let him do this, or how Grace's arm was twisted into it, but James has been allowed to talk about Star Trek. If you thought Nick wasn't normal about trains, you've clearly not asked James which is his favourite Enterprise (its the NX-01, but Sisko is my favourite captain).

    Join us as Grace, Nick and Mostly James talk about Star Trek, the fandom that brought us men in heat and the term 'slashfic' in general. Grace faces the Tuvix Dilemma, Nick discusses his alternative financial plans, and James simps for Best Villain Gul Dukat.
