Hollywood keeps on rebooting everything over and over again, and always seems to get it wrong. So Tanner and Lindsay have decided to get one step ahead of them and reboot everything themselves! Through reboots, remakes, sequels, spin-offs, adaptations, and other weird scenarios, these two are gonna change it all for better or worse - which, sometimes, is still better.

Girls just wanna have fun. And sometimes, to have fun? You gotta game! Emily is taking the cultural entity known as Ready Player One and starting from scratch because this isn't just any old Fortinitified nostalgic cash grab - this is one for GIRLS. It's got PONIES and SHE-RA and NICHE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR. That's right, girls aren't like other girls. They're REAL, and it's never too late to become one. This blurb got away from me...

Our friend Christina has returned with an observation: there are plenty of stories about what it's like to be a kid at the Xavier Mansion, but what if we got a story about what it's like being a teacher? For that matter, what if the teachers were actual teachers and not former X-Men shoved into that position? With that framework, Tanner and Lindsay are ready to create a handful of OCs and finally educate some of these mutants.

This is a little bit of a self-congratulatory episode, but we really did never get a chance to talk about everything that went into making our 200th episode! So now that we've got our sea legs back, let's take a moment to look at some various bits and bobs from Mikey Crichts and Billy Shakes that Tanner used to assemble this script, and a little bit of insight into the themes of the story that make it lend itself to this style oh so well.

Tanner asked Lindsay to talk about her OT3 - no, her OTHER OT3. The one with Butch and Sundance! She doesn't think she can improve upon perfection (though Tanner would recommend changing the music), but she does want to expand on the third corner of the triangle - one Miss Etta Place, who...could be damn near anyone from that time! Allegedly. History is muddy.

Ah shit, here we go again. The tv adaptation of the Halo video game got cancelled just after they reached the titular Halo. How does our brother in Ryan plan on rectifying this? He's gonna make it take even LONGER to get there! Wait, what? Well, let him cook, and while he does Lindsay will ask about the messed up Spartan turbo-puberty and Tanner will determine which characters should kiss!

The challenges return (for real this time) with Lindsay tasking Tanner with doing an updated remake of the 90s cartoon Mummies Alive! Tanner tried to avoid doing a deep dive but still came out of this with a RIDICULOUS amount of notes on this because a) so much of the show feels like wasted potential due to it only getting 42 episodes and b) it spent 42 episodes on NONSENSE and SLAPSTICK. And making mockeries of the Egyptian gods. But we can refine it! We can make it a little more special! A little more character driven! And a little more a lot gayer!

Revenge of the Fifth! That means it's time to do a Star War once again. This time, it's The Last Jedi, a movie that Lindsay and Tanner generally think is the strongest of the sequel films - except for all the parts that don't work. But you know what, we can pivot and rearrange some parts to make the themes actually make sense this time around (without capitulating to angry boys). Lindsay kills the hero's journey, Tanner kills someone's arm, and they both kill Reylo.
Stay tuned to the end for a special announcement...

...but he's finally returned to us! And he brings an age-old tale of a soon looking for his father, gathering friends, learning what it means to be a man, and...engaging in various minigames? Yes, Benny has recruited Tanner and Lindsay onto his crew to turn the story of Telemachus into a video game where we get a secondhand view of the Odyssey. There will be twists and turns, a rant about the Bronze Age (affectionate), and it's gonna get kinda gay!

...but it's not that hard, y'know?
Ever After High was a spin-off of Monster High about Fairy Tale characters, but as Harley makes clear it's also about fighting against conformity, choosing your own destiny, and girls being friends (honestly, huge). Lindsay and Tanner are gonna work with him to make this an actual full-length show, giving all these characters space to breath, looking a little more closely at the fairy tale origins, and plugging all those weird plot holes. Also, we collectively made a new OC!

Oh no, there's flesh on the gunpla too...Tanner's taking it back to the 00s with their requel of Custom Robo, which had one game famous for the massive plot twist halfway through and another game that...was also released in the states. But maybe we can combine these things, use the lesser-known plot elements to bridge the gap, and make it a little gayer? Of course we will, you know us.
