Episode 032 - “Summer Lovin' Had Me A Blast”

Episode Length: 1:27:11

Episode Summary:

Yes, we’re still alive!  And we’re back for our thirty-second episode!  We start off with a little Fandom News and an apology for taking an unexpected summer hiatus.  We congratulate Tom Holland on winning the role of the new Spiderman and talk a little about Captain America: Civil War.  As usual, we give you all the important fall premiere dates for September and we hope you all enjoy all your shows coming back for the new season.  We recap our first experience at San Diego Comic-Con and look forward to going again next summer!  As always, we share our obsessions with Hannibal, Bachelor in Paradise, and unreal and then we get into our favorite topic of discussion, Teen Wolf.  We also chat about the end of Hannibal and all the great announcements made at Disney’s D23 convention last month.  If you haven’t had a chance to check out the winners of the Fandom Emmys, we recap all of them for you here and we share our excitement over certain winners.  Of course, we take some time out of our regularly scheduled programming to remind you that CHOC Walk is coming up and we would like all of you to support CHOC Children’s Hospital in Orange County.  As official media partners for the Walk, we hope you all will take some time to donate just a little bit or to participate in the Walk itself.  It’s such a great cause that’s near and dear to our hearts.  We congratulate our Episode MVPs: the Katie Cassidy fans.  We love how much you all love Katie Cassidy and you all are so sweet!  As always, we share our Ship Moments with Sciles and Hannigram and remind all you lovely listeners about the various platforms where you can follow us, tweet us, download our episodes, or contact us.  Make sure you check out Episode 33 where we’ll talk all about CHOC Walk!


This week’s featured music:
