Ship Wrecked 5 - Renaissance, Robots, and Reception
June 30, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 72.4 MBAfter the stunning outcome of last episode, Ship Wrecked returns... with original host Yvonne Datgotaway at the helm! And guys... this one is especially weird. Like, thieves and vampires and giant monsters and cosmic entities weird. I know that Ship Wrecked isn't typically the Smash Metafiction show where you go to get scenes of giant robot fights, drunken speeches, and horses getting promoted to knighthood, but prepare to have your expectations blown away by this one. Plus, we check in wi...

June 23, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBPit children against one another? What an excellent idea! That's probably what Professor X and Aizawa said to themselves as they planned to bring students from UA together with students from the Xavier Institute for a giant danger room maze-running competition. The first group of students to reach the center of the maze as a complete team wins! The students with their permission slips signed off for this one are Kitty Pryde, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Rogue, Nightcrawler, and Spyke. Will their ...
Surprise Party 9 - Where No Party Has Surprised Before
June 16, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBFinal frontier, Starship Enterprise, boldly go where no [insert preferred gender identifier or lack thereof here] has gone before...look, you know the drill. Star Trek has been a thing for so long that pretty much everyone knows at least the basics. But one thing Gene Roddenberry's classic sci-fi series has always done is push itself further, test the limits, explore new horizons. And, you know, what could possibly be a better example of that than a new version of the story replacing Kirk, S...
Liz's Dragon Theater
June 14, 2019 13:00 - 1 minute - 1.32 MBSometimes when we have to take a break mid-recording, magical things happen.

136 - Mystery Science Theater 3000 vs. The King In Yellow (feat. Kris Newton)
June 09, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 90 MBIn the not-too-distant future (next Sunday A.D.), there is a guy named Joel, not too different from the hosts of this week's episode, in that he has recently been reading The King In Yellow. Or rather, watching a filmed production of The King In Yellow - the only one known to remain. See, Joel has spent years in space aboard the Satellite of Love thanks to the evil Dr. Forrester and his dimwitted assistant, Frank, who regularly subject Joel to the worst films they can find, FOR SCIENCE. But ...
Extraordinary League 41 - Fear of the Spark
June 02, 2019 13:00 - 54 minutes - 68.5 MBEven though the League find themselves on an unfamiliar world, they aren't without their allies.

May 31, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 112 MBThis episode originally aired as the Patreon bonus episode for May 2019. The original description follows: Okay, this show is now officially called "Miles Has Feelings," so you probably think you know what you're getting into, but guys... Miles has so many feelings about NBC's sci-fi sitcom The Good Place, it's not even funny. Miles loves this show. And not in a half-trolling "I think this movie is deeper than it appears" way like Sucker Punch, or a novelty act "hey look, I like a video ga...
135 - Smaug vs. Bahamut vs. Draco vs. Trogdor
May 26, 2019 13:00 - 54 minutes - 54.7 MBWith an astonishing array of accents, Judge Liz brings us to the latest mishap at Hogwarts. Ron's just trying to get some dragons together for the "Quadwizard Tournament" and it goes pretty badly. Ron? Less than competent? Shocking #Ronshade. To be fair, Ron didn't know that Hogwarts was going to be temporarily housing all of Gringotts' gold. However, Ron probably could have figured out that it's a bad idea to send out an open invitation to dragons to descend on Hogwarts. Dammit, Ron. Fo...

May 19, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBClaire and Dan are joined by special guests Jeff Eckman and Ryan Kasmiskie of the Final Fantasy podcast No One Can Know About This!

So grab some popcorn as we delve into a story of ancient conspiracies, young love, and mind-controlling cat ...
134 - The 300 vs. the Unsullied (feat. Steven Attewell)
May 12, 2019 13:00 - 58 minutes - 80.8 MB"Pray to the airwaves," the oracle said, insisting that we must not do this match. "Smash Fiction will fall. All of podcasting will fall. Trust not in Patrons. Honor the gods. But not the gods of thinking. Just the gods of yelling." Well, to quote King Leonidas himself when faced with a similar situation, "an epic sneer that, could it be heard out loud, would definitely sound weirdly Scottish!" In other words, fuck wisdom and fuck the Carneia, we have to decide which idealized fictional ve...
Extraordinary League 40 - Out of Nowhere
May 05, 2019 13:00 - 44 minutes - 51.8 MBThe end is in sight for our heroes. They've nearly collected everything they need to defeat Phyrexia once and for all--now it's just a matter of preparing for the final leg of their journey. But if you think the League's enemies are just going to sit idly by and let this happen, you're in for a rude surprise... Stitch tries his hand at some cultural exchange; Dante explores a new vocation; Luna provides; and Mordin buries the hatchet.
133 - The Doctor vs. The Borg (feat. Jeff Stormer)
April 28, 2019 15:18 - 59 minutes - 82 MB"Doctor?" we can hear you ask. "Doctor who?" Which you're asking either because you're an insufferable nerd (like the rest of us), or because you legitimately don't know. In which case, it is incumbent upon us to inform you that the Doctor is an alien Time Lord who flies haphazardly through time and space in a magic phone booth called the TARDIS, solving problems and saving people. And this week, we put those skills to the ultimate test, as the Doctor (the tenth Doctor, specifically -- ask a...
Surprise Party 8 - Showcase of the Immortals (feat. Lucas Brown)
April 21, 2019 06:55 - 1 hour - 122 MBFor those of you who understand the title, yes, you read that correctly. For those who don't...well, strap in, folks, because this week, we're putting on our spandex, lacing up our boots, and oiling the living shit out of our upper bodies before heading straight through that curtain and out into the spotlight. Just in time for Wrestlemania 35, it's a very special pro wrestling episode of Surprise Party! To be fair, it's two weeks after Wrestlemania 35, but honestly, that show was so long i...
132 - Captain Marvel vs. Shazam (feat. Sarah Langan)
April 14, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 98.4 MBLet's face it -- this one doesn't require much explanation. This one is about as obvious as making a metric crapton of money adapting illustrated children's fantasy stories into major studio franchise tentpoles. And while you can rest assured in the knowledge that Judge Claire Mulkerin will spend the better part of ten minutes setting up the admittedly convoluted but undeniably cohesive narrative in which this week's battle takes place, you already know the real reasons. Marvel vs. DC. The...
Extraordinary League 39 - After and Before
April 07, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBOur heroes have escaped Phyrexia, but not without some considerable loss.

Additional music this episode is "Run Amok" and "Le Grand Chase" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com). Licensed under Creative Co...

April 01, 2019 13:00 - 30 minutes - 30.2 MBHey listeners! It looks like some of you are taking our ideas and running with them, because we came across this strange little gem buried deep in the dark web! Four friends sit down together to try and craft a movie plot using elements from other stories, and it turns out... um... well, it turns out.

Collaboratory 8 - Space Crusader (feat. Magdalen Rose)
March 31, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 65 MBOur hosts welcome a guest to the lab as Claire, Dan, and Meganbob are joined by writer and YouTuber Magdalen Rose! Magdalen proves to be a natural at crafting stories using mismatched parts, which is a good thing, as we end up with characters and plot elements from Star Trek, Clerks, and A Christmas Carol, and attempt to tie them all together using some misremembered David Bowie lyrics. How does it go? You'll have to listen to find out! And be sure to pay Magdalen Rose a visit at her chann...

The original description follows: So here’s a fun opening story… The first thing I recorded for this song was the bass line. I then picked up my sax to play in order to figure out what key I had played the bass line in. Well, I actually couldn’t figure it out. No note or scale was matching up with what I had played, it sounded terrible! Of course, I then realized, I HADN’T TUNED MY BASS. I turned on the tuner ...

March 24, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBEver wonder what makes the Neverending Story so, well, never-ending? Well, it's largely because certain events just sort of keep happening over and over again, which explains why the unstoppable annihilating force called The Nothing has returned to creep across the land of Fantasia, erasing all in its path. Last time, a brave hero was given a horse to go rescue the Childlike Empress and save the land from destruction, but that horse didn't make it very far into the quest before it was lost...
Ship Wrecked 4 - Galleries, Galloping, and Grapes

Extraordinary League - February 2019 Bonus Episode
February 28, 2019 14:00 - 58 minutes - 70.4 MBThis episode originally aired as the Patreon bonus episode for February 2019. The original description follows: Man oh man, I never know what sort of team we'll end up with when we do these bonus episodes, but the $5+ Patrons never fail to make some really interesting choices. As usual, I didn't decide on the central concept of this episode until I saw what characters everyone was going to be playing. In this case, I wanted to give our stealth- and social-centric characters plenty of opp...

February 24, 2019 15:30 - 1 hour - 83.3 MBHowdy, stranger. Come on in from the cold, warm yourself up next to the fire. There's bad food, good whiskey, and a decent enough bed, if you're wanting a place to stay.

I'm afraid you don't have the motel to yourself tonight, friend. One of our guests is a gunslinger named Susannah Dean, and when she's no...

Extraordinary League 37 - Rock the Dinosaur
February 03, 2019 14:00 - 45 minutes - 55.4 MBThe number of people who would willingly get into a direct fight with Godzilla can probably be counted on one hand... and they all happen to be in the Extraordinary League.

Nico tries out some new talents; Stitch has to dig deep; Luna plays healer; Dante hits his breaking p...

January 27, 2019 17:12 - 59 minutes - 81.5 MBWhen the ongoing Astro-Kerfuffle brings two groups of opposing forces, one from the USS Enterprise, one from their assigned Star Destroyer, each comprising fifty members, into combat on the decks of the NSEA Protector... You know what, no. The editor is protesting the continued existence of the Astro-Kerfuffle by refusing to write the normal style of description.

The hosts end up with a pile of really incongruous stuff, and end up m...

Where normally you would f...

December 09, 2018 08:58 - 1 hour - 90.7 MB"Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..." John McClane reflects sarcastically. How the hell did this even happen? One minute he was in the Nakatomi building, fighting with his estranged wife and making fists with his toes. The next minute, that weird mogwai thing he'd brought as a present for his kids was running around the Christmas party, jumping into the fountain, and making more little gremlins come out to terrorize the shocked partygoers. Now McClane is trapped i...
