Into the Falls: A Gravity Falls Podcast

After all these years...finally, we've watched it all. "It" being season one. At long last, AJ learns the secret of the vending machine, the origin of Soos, and the absurd length of time between seasons one and two. And along for the ride is the show's supervising producer Rob Renzetti, here to impart his inside knowledge of the animation industry and the circumstances that neces...

They say never to meet your heroes, but I don't think it counts if you only meet one hero over Zoom. Mary and AJ finally welcome Gravity Falls fan and voice of Dipper Pines, Jason Ritter! The three of them share how their relationship to the show has evolved over time (or is currently evolving) and gush about the penultimate episode of season one. Oh, and AJ sees Bill Cipher for the first time. Yo...

Content warning: This episode contains relevant discussions of CSAM, domestic abuse, homophobia, suicide, and eating disorders. Oh boy. We've done it this time. I mean, we have really done it this time. Not only is this not an episode of Gravity Falls, it doesn't even involve animation in any form. I don't even have a quippy description for it. The 10th anniversary of the Gravity Falls...

Mary has finally embraced her culture, and AJ is out for some long-awaited revenge. Of course, he's not the ultimate life form, so the revenge will have to be more embarrassing than deadly. Have Mary's weeks of outrunning GUN trucks and collecting Chaos Emeralds prepared her for this very special Sonic episode? Gotta pod fast! "Voxel Revolution" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Li...

We're back! Our first newly-recorded episode in literal years, and what better way to come back than with our favorite potentially delicious pig friend! Mary and AJ dive into not a pain hole and ask, who's responsible for cleaning after a kid who peed himself, is Old Man McGucket God, how many scales does it take to draw a pterodactyl with too many muscles? Also, how is Bobby Renzobbi doin...

Before the Football Bowl even started, Mary and AJ discuss the intricacies of fandom with special guest Abby Kirby. They cover how different the Gravity Falls Tumblr tag was versus other shows of the time, Abby's work in studying fandom, and how a hat can mean so much more than the blue tree on it, on this edition of the Into the Falls Bonus Features Moment! "Voxel Revolution" Kevin...

BroZone be damned, the hottest teen heartthrobs in town are Sev'ral Times in today's Into the Falls! First, witness the greatest idea Mary's come up with for a podcast pantry skit, the experimental horror nightmare *NSYNCamarink! Then learn how a boy band cloned from the same person can still have "the funny one," "the bad boy," etc., Robbie's big Mordecai momen...

If you were having a normal couple of weeks -- well, lucky you. Even so, we're going into a Freaky Freakend with that most curious and disturbing of days, a Freaky Friday! The Podcast Pantry is almost empty, but I'm keeping Mary and AJ busy. Don't you worry about that. Listen for advice on what to do if you've magically swapped consciousnesses with a loved one, ways to circumvent b...

No, this isn't the Bonus Features section of your DVD, it's special Halloween game show time on Into the Falls! Mary, AJ and friend of the pod Ella present a showcase of the most popular Halloween costumes that are trying to make money off a property without alerting said property they exist. Can they match the show to the costume, is Mary an impartial judge, and was the Woman really Red?...

The Podcast Pantry gets emptier by the week as AJ and Mary truly take a deep dive into a pool episode where the pool is not peed into. They explore what exactly you call a merperson, why Mabel failed geography, how Gideon in a chair can inspire such loud screaming from Stan (easy, by Gideon merely existing), and most importantly, the dangers of chlorinated water on the respiratory system of merpeo...

Fandom scholar and fellow Lookback docent Abby Kirby joins (joined) Mary and AJ to kill some time in the fabled Bottomless Pit! Highlights include spinning boys, green lightning, and the legendary Funkle Bunkle!

Mary and AJ have been working hard and hardly working to plumb the depths of this lucky thirteenth episode, "Boss Mabel"! ...Okay, they actually don't have that much to say about it, but there's only so many times you can reiterate that an episode is hilarious before you have to cut some of it out. There's also the land salmon. "Voxel Revolution" Kevin MacLeod (inco...

Nothing is scarier than the slow but constant march of time, which is why we're bringing you our 2021 Summerween Spooktacular in 2024! Ella Cesari of Mystery Shack Lookback joins us once more to discuss perhaps the scariest episode so far, "Summerween"! Cower in fear when Specter joins the call! Munch on some terrible candy while reminiscing about Halloweens and Summerweens past! And...

Welcome to INTO THE FALLS FRIDAYS! In the coming weeks/months, we'll be gradually emptying the Podcast Pantry with new old episodes recorded in the long-ago years of 2023, 2022, all the way back to 2021! First on deck is our episode on "Fight Fighters," featuring Charley Marlowe of Mystery Shack Lookback, Garden Wall Recall, and the very real and very long-running Dog With A Pod! Lis...

"Maybe they didn't hear us record it and don't know it was all the way back in 2021..." "... Really? " Really! Mary and AJ finally answer some of life's greatest questions: How do twins work? What are all the chess pieces called? Can you vacuum away regret? Find out with us as we dive into the unusually tiny Falls! "Voxel Revolution" Kevin MacLeod (incompe...

Here we goooooooooooooooo! Mary and AJ are both feeling a little sick, but they can stop that feeling long enough to talk about the movie event of the year. Of course we mean Trolls Band Together, the third entry in the DreamWorks franchise about Danish toys from the 60s singing pop songs from the 90s. Is that an oversimplification? Well, you'll have to listen to the episode for a deeper analysis....

It's been less than a year since our last episode, and personally, I count that as a win. We're back with 100% more pigs and 100% more controversial guest stars!

Mary and AJ finally cleaned out their podcast pantry and found this one still in the can. But a good episode has no expiration date -- especially when it features two of the biggest names in Gravity Falls rewatch podcasting.  It's been long enough since recording that Mystery Shack Lookback has since added a curator and ended altogether. But when you're done reliving the nostalgia of summe...

Holy moly, Gravity Falls is returning for another season, and we've got the inside scoop on what the first new episode in 6 years is like! Is the reboot ever as good as the original show we all know and love? One thing's for sure - it's different.

Mary and AJ unlock the secrets of gender and pitch a 90s sitcom that would probably make it a full 13 episodes on CBS. AJ still doesn't recognize Will Forte's voice and possibly never will. Plus, hear the first installment of our new segment: The Into the Falls Mystery Minute!  "Voxel Revolution" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0...

It's spooky season! Time to break into a haunted location with your skeptical teen friends and be punished for your hubris! Or you can just watch some fictional teens (and preteens) do the same thing while you remain in a safe, controlled environment. That's what we did. Listen to find out what pop culture references AJ doesn't get, or what minute visual gags Mary is just noticing on w...

It's about time AJ met the cutest, widdlest incel that ever graced our television screens: Lil' Gideon! The friendzone and all it implies makes for some uncomfortable experiences no matter who you are. Maybe we should all stop pressuring people into the complicated and sensitive realm of romance? Just a thought. "Voxel Revolution" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By...

[Mary here, offering my apologies for some audio issues in this episode. I totally forgot to put on my headphones and didn't realize until very late into the recording, so occasionally AJ's side will have feedback from my computer speakers. He edited it out as much as he could, but it'll be jarring at times.] Technical difficulties aside, prepare to witness Mary's spot-on Dipper impression, AJ get...

Remember Slender Man? Disposable cameras? What about beaver camp? Into the Falls remembers.  And for that, we have to thank "The Legend of the Gobblewonker," the second episode and officially (albeit wrongly) recognized premiere of Gravity Falls! AJ is introduced to more of the townsfolk while Mary reminisces about trips to Camp Innuendo and the emergency room. Classic summer activities. "Voxel Re...
