With the recent announcement that EA has lost their exclusive license to make Star Wars video games, Scott and Alex have decided to talk about the history of video games that take place a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. They discuss their own personal beefs with certain games, their dissatisfaction with EA, and what the future might hold for Star Wars.  Listen & Subscribe: Spotify |...

We needed this. With all the horrible things happening right now, we needed to have a bit of fun. Scott is joined by Archit Tripathi to laugh at a terrible movie that everyone has already made fun of. But who cares, it's The Last Airbender. It can take it. Stay safe Capers.

Grab your impractically long scarf, sonic screwdriver and robot dog, we're talking about Doctor Wibbling Wobbling Who! Except Chris Chibnall wrote it so maybe lets not get too excited. The decline of New Who continues with the latest New Years Day Special, a disappointing outing for the madwoman in the blue box. Is there anything of worth to enjoy? Scott and Mark Russell are here to find out! List...

After what feels like an eternity, Wonder Woman 1984 is here! But does it match the hype? Short answer, no. Long answer......it's complicated. From tonal problems to a fantastic cast, WW84 is a mixed bag that only Scott and Alex Mirabal can sort out. That is, when they're both done squeeing over Pedro Pascal.

Merry Crimbo and Happy Holidays ya filthy animals! The most wonderful time of the year is upon us! A time of thanksgiving, joy, and goodwill to all the people of the world. So lets celebrate it with a game where elves and hobbits punch each other! Hey you have your traditions and we have ours. Scott is joined by Alex, Jillian, James, and Molly for a festive fun Dungeons and Dragons session. Will t...

This week, Podcapers goes weird! Well...weird-ER! Scott is joined by Dara Berkey to talk about the strangest shows they watched as kids, which I'm sure in no way messed them up as adults. From Ghostwriter to The Demon Headmaster, this is some of the most bizarre stuff that coked up children's TV execs can imagine! Oh also, there's a bunch of new Star Wars shows coming out. But I'm sure you're not...

I mean the ARROGANCE! Scott doesn't just think he can rewrite the Star Wars movies we already have, no no no. He thinks he can make up a brand new one too! God the Fanfiction episode last week was timely, wasn't it? Scott is joined by Jillian Diblasio to talk about how he thinks that one character whose name you forgot played by Donnie Yen should have been used. Also the other one who you forgot e...

Podcapers is back with a deep dive, or at least a dive, into another aspect of geek culture. Scott is joined by Kit "Puddy Geeks" Horsley to discuss the ins and outs of Fan Fiction, from the highs of genuine authorship, to the lows of...lets just say there are some really really low bits and leave it at that. Check out Kit's work on Archive of Our Own, Wattpad, and Tumblr. Listen & Subscribe: Spot...

After his harrowing Halloween adventure, Scott could use a fun distraction. And what could be more fun than a delightfully silly 90's movie starring Shaquille O'Neal? Scott is joined by Lindiwe Ngwevela to watch and riff this outdated, yet oddly relevant, testament to DC's poor decision making. Because we all need something like this right now.

It's been a year since he was captured by The Collector and Scott is sure something equally terrible will happen this year. But when his AP2HYC colleagues start disappearing, he knows he must face up to his fears and fight whatever new threat emerges.  The new threat in question is The Troll, a mysterious individual who traps Scott, Mark Russell, Alex Mirabal, Jillian DiBlasio, Dara Berkey, and Da...

76 episodes later, Scott is rejoined by graphic novel writer Nandor Fox Shaffer for a big ol' gab sesh! Took you two long enough! They talk about his upcoming book SEASONS Vol. 2: Summer, some of the latest pop culture news, and everyone's favourite topic of discussion, moral relativism™! No, we don't know why either. Just listen, we promise it's interesting. Back SEASONS Vol. 2: Summer on Kicksta...

As October is the month of spoooky goings on, Scott is joined by Alex Mirabal to watch one of both of their favourite childhood movies, Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost. Does the sequel to the lauded Zombie Island hold up after 21 years? Or is it dead on arrival? All we know is, The Hex Girls still kick all kinds of arse! Plus, check out all our sweet AP2HYC Merch!

Many times on Podcapers, Mark Russell has educated Scott on various well known anime. Well now the turntables......Scott's doing the same to Mark, is what we're getting at. Specifically about Sword Art Online Abridged, a stand out in the Abridged Anime selection as some consider it better than the original. Will Scott convince Mark so? Probably, as Mark doesn't really like the original SAO. Plus,...

Wow. It's amazing. Disney has reached a brand new low. We didn't think it was possible, but they did it. We'd be impressed if we weren't so utterly disappointed. Scott and Mark Russell hop on the carousel of crappy live action Disney remakes one more time to review the new Mulan movie. But this is not a fun carousel. It's got rusty gears and splintery wooden horses. Bad times ahead, Capers! Plus,...

Well it's about goddamn time! The long awaited finale to the X-Men franchise is here at last. Going up against that new Christopher Nolan movie. Hmm. I don't like it's chances. Still, it's up to Scott and Mark Russell to decide whether it was worth the wait! The answer: eh, kinda? Plus, check out all our sweet AP2HYC Merch!

In honour of a man who literally inspired millions, Scott, Archit, and Lindiwe talk about Chadwick Boseman's tragic passing, the BLM protests in Kenosha, and how far Black superheroes have come in film. Recent events have left us all incredibly saddened, but it's important to remember to never give up hope, to never stop fighting for equality, and to always remember: "In times of crisis, the wise...

God, that's a long title. But in fairness, there's a lot to cover in this week's PodCapers. Scott couldn't choose between reviewing Netflix's newest superhero movie and talking about the new DC FanDome reveals, so he just said "screw it" and did both. Thank god AP2HYC writer Michael McCabe is here to help him out. Good luck Michael, you're gonna need it! Plus, check out all our sweet AP2HYC Merch!...

Another day, another outstanding anthology! Scott is joined by Russell Mark Olsen and Mark Hughes, a.k.a. SoK, to talk about their upcoming comics magazine SKRAWL, featuring stories from the best of the best UK indie comic writers and artists, many of whom we've discussed on Podcapers before! Strap in Capers, we're going on a Pub SKRAWL! Eh? Eh? Oh come on, that was funny! Take a gander at Russell...

Yes, we're really doing this. No, we don't care that everyone else has already talked about this movie. I mean, come on people, it's BIRDEMIC! Possibly the worst movie every made. And Scott has invited Jillian to join him in riffing this monstrosity. But guess what? You can too! Just play the movie when Scott tells you to and we can all share in the suffering! Yay! Plus, check out all our sweet AP...

Scott takes a look at the latest movie to trend on Netflix with an old Uni buddy and fellow writer...who's NOT Mark Russell? Jimbo Green has a few things to say about The Old Guard, and so does Scott. But can they agree on something, or does Scott just surround himself with people who contradict him?

Hold on to yer barnacles boys, it's the big one! Scott tackles possibly his most HATED Disney film of all time, The Little Mermaid. He's ready to tear it apart and present his own version, but Jillian Diblasio has other ideas. Will Jillian finally admit defeat when it comes to these movies, or has Scott finally met his match? On another note, did that Priest have an erection? Am I going crazy, or...

We're talking about this again because we need to talk about this again. We can't stop talking about this. Scott is joined by Archit Tripathi and Lindiwe Ngwevela to discuss where the Black Lives Matter movement is right now, the responses to it, and the greater problems within the film industry concerning race. Once again, please take the time to check out the links below and support the people w...

The movie sucks. There. We said it. Let's talk about something that's ACTUALLY good, shall we? Scott is joined by Alex Mirabal to look back on one of the best animated TV shows of all time and discuss why it's had such a surge in popularity recently. There's gonna be a lot of gushing, a lot of tears, a lot of laughs, and a lot of Alex identifying with Azula. We're very concerned for her. Plus, che...
