Not If I Reboot You First!

May the 4th be with you! We've completely rebuilt Rise of Skywalker from the ground up, including the name! It's Rise of the Taral now! Did you know the Sith have a language? Anyway, we're done with Star Wars now, until we decide to make an animated series to fill the time skip. All these new characters are gonna pay HUGE dividends.

Remember that middle-grade story from 2005 about some teens descended from figures of Greek Mythology who had to team up to fight Cronus and other Greek monsters? Well there were two, and Canada's Class of the Titans got it's lunch absolutely eaten by Percy. Lindsay's not surprised - it's severely lacking in ongoing plots or more than one villain or any kind of party balance - but she's confident she can flesh the concept out to make something interesting.

There's no peace among the stars, but you know what there is? A lot of lore! That doesn't matter, except it kinda does? Fabby's here to teach us all about Warhammer 40k, the Imperium, Chaos, Femboiz, Puppy Girls - the works. And along the way we manage to make a mechsploitation roadtrip series!

Dog Soldiers is a simple movie about soldiers fighting werewolves, but that does mean that some of it falls apart in the third act. Not to mention, it's such a simple premise that it's easy to either remake it or make a sequel...or maybe both? Along with Lindsay they'll discuss the myth of the alpha wolf, the difference between foreshadowing and just saying things, and likin' dags.

We're at the opera tonight, despite Tanner's protests - but don't worry, Lindsay is gonna make sure everyone has context for what an opera even is (and why Napoleon's here). And after that, we're gonna reboot Puccini's Tosca! Listen to hear about a Hall of Fame Slimeball, doing the Full Gethsemane, and ASMR Hell Guest Starring John Noble.

We're really concerned about the children, y'all. They're being raised like veal, and it's absolutely hobbyless behvaiour out there. Good thing our guest Kit Walker is here to pitch some new (weird) (freaky) (Canadian) PSAs to the TikTok generation. We've got ways to encourage them to spend responsibly, be true to themselves, touch grass, and form their own opinions - not to mention a few to convince parents to consider some stuff as well.

You know the saying - "there can only be one!" The Highlander franchise has shown this repeatedly, but apparently a reboot is actually getting off the ground now? Well whether that works out or not, Tanner's been challenged to figure out what a good Highlander will look like. They're starting with a movie framing the titular scotsman as an urban legend, but as Lindsay offers more and more options to expand on things we're gonna realize that maybe the TV show was the best option all along.

The legend of Tomyris (the legend) is kinda fascinating, but The Legend of Tomiris (the film) squanders those parts and manages to be really long and say very little about the title character or her people. Plus, y'know, there's just a dash of propoganda baked into it. But Tanner wants there to be a good film about this warrior queen, and Lindsay wants it to be a film that does justice to both parties (and becomes a better film about Kazakhstan than Borat). So let's send some documentarians off to 530 BCE and interview Tomyris and Cyrus in person! If you'd like to be on an episode, submit your pitch at https://forms.gle/DQiGdNRMFcz3po256.

Mega Man Star Force 4 only got as far as a concept, but it's enough of a concept for Tanner to spin into a whole pitch and game summary (which is good, because Lindsay knows almost nothing about any Mega Mans). They'll set the teenage blue bomber against systemic corruption while also discussing Capcom's Broad-Strokes universe, fitting tarot motifs, and flirting with your situationship's tsunderes as a bit.

Let's get a little meta today. Lindsay's not quite remaking Jamaica Inn so much as paying homage to it, with the tale of a woman using the book as a guide to explore all the English lore and history in Cornwall. But with some local cultists being haunted by the past and detesting the future, will the young lady make it out alive? And does this story have room for animal ghosts, the knights templar, and looming uncles? Only time will tell...

Point Break is a patently silly premise executed shockingly well? Why are we rebooting this? Well, it's not explicitly gay and we gotta change that. But that's not enough for an entire episode, so we also have to figure out ways to do things differently without disrupting the hyper-heightened atmosphere. Along the way we'll discuss unexpected places to develop film tech, Buseys all the way down, and NOT the remake from 2015 (it's not real and it can't hurt you).

The Lady Vanishes seems like a real outlier among the rest of Albert Hitchcock's works - maybe because he didn't write the story, or the script, and only fulfilled it out of contractual obligation. But it's still pretty solid! Just very wacky and slapstick for what advertises itself as a wartime spy thriller with actual gaslighting and suspect love interest. She'd prefer to push it in a more realistic direction, but there's still enough room for some cricket weirdos, a c***y nun, and Brits Who Love Dogs.

Years ago, Not If I Reboot You First started a Patreon just to help cover hosting costs, but we ended up putting it on ice because we felt we couldn't come up with enough bonus stuff to warrant it, and because we were both in positions were we could pay for podcast hosting anyway. Nowadays - well, we can still cover costs, but NIIRYF has become part of the Corner Podcast Network, alongside Loser Like Me, The Home for Wayward OCs, and occasional other shows like Faith Full and You, The Devil, and D&D. That's more pods to host, as well as editors and sometimes title card artists to pay. So we've revived the NIIRYF Patreon and converted it into the Patreon for the entire Corner Podcast Network. What does this entail? Right now, not much. Across our shows we've got a great fanbase, but it's not a huge one. We also know that times have been tough across the board. So at this time, this is basically a soft-launch of the patreon to see how it would go. We are starting at just one tier, worth $2. The reward for that tier is a shout-out. That's all! That's all we want to commit to right now. The discord and the guest submissions for the podcasts which have those will remain open to the public. Essentially, this is a tip jar and a audience reaction gauge. But if it goes well, we've discussed things like making bonus content, releasing episodes more often on our regular feeds for some shows, and doing audience participation - but that's all topics for later. ...Okay actually, let's talk about audience participation real quick. There's an upcoming episode of NIIRYF that can make use of some listener suggestions and prompts, so! If you subscribe to our Patreon before December 11th, 2025, you will get the chance to pitch a Mega Man boss that Tanner and Lindsay will discuss on air, and potentially decide to put into the hypothetical game they are pitching. This isn't going to be a regular patron benefit YET, it's just another soft-launch element, but again, we wanna see how people respond to it. If it seems popular, great! We'll see what we can do with that more often, maybe for other shows. If not, don't worry about it! We don't expect everyone listening to this to donate to our stuff, and anything we do get will go directly to covering hosting and editing costs. But knowing that other people are willing to invest in us would help us invest more in these shows ourselves. We don't dream of being full-time podcasters, but it would be great if we had the funds to reach a little higher, you know? And even if you can't support us monetarily, it would be a huge help to tell your friends about us - having a wider audience and bigger reach would be a major boon as well. No matter how this test goes, we appreciate everyone who has listened in the past and continues listening to us today. That's what you missed on the Corner Podcast Network - thanks for stopping by, and we hope to see you again - even if we reboot you first. Bye!

Animorphs was so great that some people definitely tried to make their own in the 90s, and one of those attempts was Mindwarp! It didn't succeed nearly as well, but Tanner thinks it's worth revisiting it's various interesting moments and clear plot hooks that never got expanded on thanks to a clearly hasty order to wrap things up. Together with Lindsay they'll expand it into a full tv series, all while discussing being the pyromaniac girl, divorce-ageddon, and putting a kid in a meat grinder.

Lindsay's Halloween episode is a little bit of a twist, as she's taking Terminator and looking at it through some new lenses, like Time Travel and Frankenstein. Can we break the cycle of bad parenting? Are we too queer to understand time loops and time spirals? And how will we address the Tron Ares Situation?

Oh hey, it's time for our new annual tradition, rebooting a season of Penny Dreadful! In the second season we had to deal with witches, porcelain dolls, and some really baffling character decisions.

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. Christina can be found on bsky @[email protected]!

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!

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.

...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! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com. Our theme music is by Shawn Clake. Our email is [email protected].

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.

Content Warning in this episode, and Drakengard by extension, for violence, war, mutilation, death, incest, cannibalism, and pedophilia. In this episode, Raena's here to explain Drakengard and the greater DrakenNieR franchise to us. It's...a lot. But the main thing is that she'd like to see if the first Drakengard game can be made fun to play, even though the slog of the original is kind of the point? If that doesn't work, maybe we can at least make it weirder. Raena cannot be found online. She's a ghost! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to reboot something with no TV Tropes page, no AO3 presence, and seemingly no fandom whatsoever? Well, Lindsay's trying her best with the Maisie Dobbs mystery series, which she definitely didn't fully imagine herself. She and Tanner will outline some ways to translate the first three books into a brief British miniseries, complete with hidden gays, cults, and...psychic powers? Ah, here we go again.

It's time to reboot an edgy, hard-hitting teen mystery/medical drama...that aired on the Canadian equivalent of Nickelodeon? Yeah, Open Heart never had a chance, even with it's solid cast and cool (admittedly half-baked) ARG companion app. Lindsay's gonna help Tanner flesh out the good parts like it's inherent Gothic melodrama, a surprisingly good representation of schizophrenia, and a teen who loves spreadsheets.

What's the secret of The Secret History? It's that these characters all think they're the main character of a grand sweeping narrative, but in reality they're just rich kids who aren't as clever as they think they are, sucked into the vortex of an egomaniac language professor. But Lindsay's put together a plan for a miniseries that highlights just how unhinged the cast of Dark Academia's great grandpapa have become, and Tanner...thinks these kids just need to touch grass.

Am I wrong though? Am I? It's the night before Christmas and we're taking on the classic tale of a special snowflake reindeer who's being barred from society because of certain physical aspects...huh, I wonder what the conservatives would think of this. Still, we can smooth some of the edges off of this - make it more applicable to today, stop Santa and his 8 Standard Reindeer from being culpable in bullying, and why don't we make Yukon Cornelius some kind of wizard while we're at it?

In our newest CHALLENGE EPISODE, Tanner's given Lindsay the task of creating the Cruella sequel we...don't really need, but we might deserve, even if Disnopolis would never let us take this close a look at 80s Cold War Fashion Authoritarianism. We also discuss what makes a punk a punk, the artist and their muse, and the umpteenth gay character. Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.

You ready for some FOOTBALL? Tanner wasn't, but Ryan and Lindsay are actual jocks so they're here to help them remake their second-favourite sports movie The Replacements. How can we keep the heartwarming idea of second chances and glory for glory's sake, while also making sure this movie doesn't hate Unions the same way that the original does? Listen to find out!

It's time for a CHALLENGE EPISODE! It's Tanner's birthday today, and they were given a topic by Lindsay to tackle on their own, and the challenge was 2000's Romeo Must Die! The film that turned Jet Li and the late Aaliyah into stars, a loose retelling of Shakespeare that can be tightened up...by stretching it out into a miniseries. We discuss how the the film resonates even more today, nepo babies funding third spaces, and women.

What's one to do with a cursed film made by a nazi occultist? Stick it in your freezer! Or write a book about it, and Silva Morena-Garcia's Silver Nitrate is a super awesome read. But it's a book about film, and Lindsay really wants to make a film about film, so we're doing an adaptation of it! We discuss how to smooth over the few bumps we found, playing with the medium, why Nazi magic is all fake, and which niche Anime Guillermo would reference if he was in the director's chair. It's rad!

Oh naur! There's a slasher loose in the Australian film Cut and Kylie Minogue is right in their crosshairs! As Tanner and Lindsay combine their creative energies, they'll make some kind of ghost who's terrible at acting and remembering its cues. Also discussed are a head budget, cursed films, and a sharp orange. Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.

Years ago, Once Upon a Time reached it's happy ending. But now we need a new show to annually reboot, season by season. A show with a plethora of public domain characters given a bit of a twist. Something spooky, something slimey, something a little bit gayer than the original (but doesn't wanna f***in' COMMIT!). We need something like...PENNY DREADFUL.

It has been nearly THREE YEARS since we did a Q and A episode! That's bonkers. We wrote a play, we left, we came back, we left again...but now the podcast has solidified, and what better way to cap things off than discuss our reboot white whales, who we're selling out for, and our breakfast hot takes.

With 30 years of complicated backstory and powerful cards, it can be a little daunting to get into Magic the Gathering from any angle these days. Fortunately, Hasbro has just gone belly-up and we bought the entire IP for $20, and Sam has some ideas on how to start everything from scratch. He's going to make the story more approachable and play with tension on a meta-level, Tanner's going to find ways to explore worlds without needing to devote entire sets to them, and Lindsay is gonna look in from the outside and tell us what a normie thinks of all this. Learn what it means to tell a long-form story, and what it means to be a one-man Bene Gesserit! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.

HAHAHA NIIRYF, WELCOME...TO DIE! Ryan tags in to help Tanner and Lindsay put together the next Marvel vs Capcom game, regarldess of the disc space. It's a long hard road to assemble this roster...so much so that this podcast took two sessions to record and we did end up dumping a chunk of audio. But that's okay, because we only have the good stuff and the weirdos in this game. Plus there's a story! And unlockables! And the most hated girl in Capcom! Get ready for the pod of your lives. Check out this link to the complete roster, as well as notes on the stages, NPCs, and Bosses: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SZ8GSmIle9PiyDL7aPjkTn1ncKxspK0QcHlJhtFBWpQ/edit?usp=sharing Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.

Pirates of the Caribbean is dead. Pirates of the Caribbean will never die. But also, we can do whatever we want with pirates, and the Caribbean, and also lesbians! Disney means nothing! So join Lindsay and her first mate Tanner as they wreck some ships, make some mandatory Bond jokes, do a bit of a Bridgerton, and possibly get banned from Italian Wikipedia.

Kit Walker returns for this episode on Murder by Death! It was a 70s pastiche of 40s detective cliches, which means our reboot has to update the setting and the satire! Which brilliant minds are bumbling their way through a weird house (or office building?) Which weird author is using this film to get performer and dream-weaver on their wikipedia page? And who can do the best/worst Chicago accent? Will we even solve any of these mysteries?! Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.

In 1975, 2004, and the not too distant future of today, Rollerball is a blood sport run by corporations to distract the masses. In 1975 it was a well-made film that came in too early to do interesting things with cyberpunk and the idea of celebrity, and in 2002 it was so mindless that the director was arrested. But if we can synthesize the themes, the vibes, the quality, and the pro-wrestling elements of both films we can make something that actually remembers to have some class...themes regarding the plot.

We've been studying spiders in the amazon with Jake, an we decided the best way to fix Madame Web is...well, the best thing about this episode is that you haven't listened to it yet, so we won't spoil it for you. What we can say is that Jake and Tanner got Stockholmed by this movie and Lindsay was just along for the ride as they talked about old movie prescriptions, Ocean's Spiders, and ol' Petey Boneclaws.

Step off Richard Rich, this is our show now. Swan Lake! A great ballet (if you're not a pleb like Tanner) with a lot of interesting backstory, and allegedly it was turned into an animated musical but that thing didn't have any of the original music so what's even the point? Lindsay's rebooting it into a new film that gives more agency to Odette and Odile, swaps Derek out for Siegfried, and gets weird with a time egg.

Cherry 2000 is the story of a man who's robot girlfriend breaks down, and only a cool action girl can help him get a new exactly the same one. Lindsay thinks this whole script was written on 80s divorced-guy brain, but Tanner thinks there's something in here about forced obsolescence.

Content Warning in this episode for suicide. There's been a murder! Fortunately it was in the idyllic English countryside, which means we can call on Hercule Poirot and his mustache to solve it! Lindsay's grabbing Kenneth Branagh straight from Venice and handing him her pitch for The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. There's a new framing device too, which means we're about to invent True Crime a few years early - after all, reality shows might be new, but scandal is timeless.

This episode is shorter and a little half-baked, but at least it's not deconstructed, and it's not like we added capers to a desert for no reason. Anyway, remember Fighting Foodons? Of course not, which is why we're throwing out basically everything and starting from scratch. We gotta ask questions like "What if Yu-Gi-Oh was The Menu?" "Was there a TCG?" "What if the Flying Spaghetti Monster was there?" Well if you listen you too can be touched by a noodly appendage. Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.

Oh what poddings and moddings! It's time for another rebooting and scooting as Lindsay takes The Black Cauldron to task. Specifically she's putting all the parts of the Chronicles of Prydain that Katzenberg cut back in and finessing it so that there's a cool and dangerous fantasy film for tweens to watch. That means more fights, more blood, and a sultry dark sorceress that blows the tiddy witches out of the water. Also discussed are a high-tech animatronic pig, the specialist boy who can talk to animals, and a bauble (IT'S MAGIC). Our cover art is by Alex aka @ptchew, and her work can be found on ptchew.com.
