Mary Sue Celebration

n our second book club episode, harry and JJ tackle the everything-happens-so-muchness of former Riverdale writer Britta Lundin's novel Ship It, based on real (adjacent) fandom drama from another CW legend, Supernatural.

This episode Harry and their brother talk about one of their favorite things- YU-GI-OH! We recorded this episode back in 2021 in honor of the 20th anniversary of the dub release. I ended up shelving it- I was trying a new method of recording with two mics and felt self conscious about the audio. However, in the wake of the news of Kazuki Takahashi's passing, I just wanted the comfort of the conversations my brother and I would have about YGO. It was comforting to listen to and I hope you find comfort as well. During the episode, there may be a few comments about doing more of this show but at the current moment, we don't know if we will. As yugioh fans who only knew of Takahashi's awesomeness from his badass yet kindhearted stories, we were devastated to hear about his death. We hope he rests in peace and knows how many people draw comfort, joy, and strength from his stories. Episode Topics: We discuss the Yu-Gi Craze from the pov of Western Media, our weird mission to watch the first episode in multiple formats, and the 4kids lawsuit. After that we learn a little bit about treating ourselves with Kaiba and Eric Stuart.

It's 2008, you live in the middle of nowhere, and no one at school likes anime or plays MMOs. WTF?!?! Gather round gamer girls, in our first book club episode we discuss Mari Mancusi's 2008 book, Gamer Girl.

Becca joins Harry to talk shipping, parasocial relationships, and the most toxic fandom she's ever been in- the hit Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly.

Izzy (@Plentyblush) shares with us the story of the Pluto, the pink, hyperactive little sister hedgehog who helped her on the road to self acceptance, greatness, and gayness.

Hey all! This is the first college radio interview I'll be hosting on the Mary Sue Celebration feed. Artist Dana Terrace joins your hosts Harry and Jillie on February 13th, 2015 to discuss breaking into the animation industry, creativity, and Turbo (the snail movie? Remember that?). Unfortunately, she was under NDAs with Disney, but you will still get a little peek into what working on Gravity Falls was like. It's a pretty silly interview and I'm embarrassed by my less than ideal interviewing technique at the time, but I hope you have fun listening! Show Notes: Follow Dana Terrace online!
