March 15, 2024 05:00 - 1 hour - 69.5 MB

Bret explains the Fallout universe and it's history before the nuke that dropped and created it because all of the gang is suddenly interested because of the upcoming Amazon Fallout Series. How does it alternate history compare to other alt-history narratives? Why does it parallel the current U.S. so closely? Is the Terminator future always a possibility?

March 01, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MB

This week's hyperfixation is X-Men Blue Origins #1, which finally lets Mystique and Destiny be Nightcrawler's biological parents. Is it clear how much Marika cares about the X-Men?

February 16, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MB

This episode's hyperfixation is the storytelling of Baldur's Gate 3, but also kinda DnD in general. Cal mostly, but also Bret, give Marika an overview off the basics of Baldur's Gate 3.  How do you write a story this detailed? Why does everyone have so much trauma? How does Astarion think we don't know that he's a vampire?

Ahsoka: Season One

February 02, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 75.7 MB

Hello! Welcome to Hyperfixation: A Queer Fandom Podcast, formerly Briikasak: A Mandalorian Podcast. We are in a transition period, away from Star Wars. It is not Ashoka's fault, but our conversation about season one of Ashoka will hopefully make you understand our desire to pivot. The Ahsoka series... is fine. Why is Thrawn wasted? Why is Sabine a Jedi? Episodes We Mentioned: The Clone Wars: The Finale Arc Rogue One Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Rebels: The Maul Episodes Republic Commander...

May 12, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 77.9 MB

Marika was able to pull Cork and Bret away from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor long enough to talk about New Mutants: Dead Souls from 2018.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Guns for Hire

April 07, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 78.5 MB

The gang chats about the well-directed, poorly written "Guns for Hire." Are we supposed to be a broad comedy episode but the writing was too bad? Why are Din and Bo-Katan detectives now?

September 13, 2022 05:00 - 2 hours - 93.8 MB

Cork almost sailed away on the Revenge with Ed and Stede, but the toxicity of the Star Wars fandom brought them and Briikasak back.

March 29, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 72.7 MB

The Briikasak gang talks about another episode of Book of Boba Fett that would have been better suited as a Mandalorian episode or an episode of Cork's alternate reality series The Tales of Tatoonie.
