BONUS: The Meaning of Fandom ft. Abby Kirby

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?

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 doing? Really? He sent our fake ad to us but won't return any of my emails.

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!

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 moment, Stan off to the side with his popcorn, and revel in the disappointment that AJ has never seen your favorite childhood TV show. 2013!

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 being prosecuted for cannibalism, and a comprehensive education on human reproduction!

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 merpeople.

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. Follow the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow AJ: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Mary: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

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. Where are all these siblings coming from? Why is everyone so horny? Why did friend of the show Charley Marlowe throw up at a screening? All this and more covered in a very special holiday treat from us to you!
