ICYMI, we started our 9th year of podcsasting with a third reboot of Penny Dreadful, putting a spin on things like making Ethan's dad mormon and making Victor and Jekyl into toxic yaoi. And be sure to tune in next week where the spooky season continues in a reboot of And Then There Were None...

A still from Penny Dreadful season 3 episode "A Blade of Grass." Vanessa Ives, without makeup and looking bedraggled as all hell, is collapsed against a padded wall. Behind her and out of focus, the blurry figure of Dr. Seward attempts to encourage her.

A promotional still from the 2015 BBC production of "And Then There Were None." Ten people, all dressed as members of middle-to-upper class English society in the 30s (except for a butler and maid) all sit in the parlour of a seaside manor and look at each other with suspicion.

In case you missed it, we had an Incredible time with Theo last week (see what we did there?) Check out the latest episode where we workshop together an Incredibles 2 that's more than just the first movie again!

The poster for Incredibles 2. From left to right: Dash, Frozone, Helen, Bob, JakJak, Violet, and Edna strike dynamic poses. In the foreground, a raccoon flees from JakJak's laser eyes. in the background, a small group of superheroes are backlit by an explosion. Above this all, the Screenslaver looms.

ICYMI, our latest podcast episode had Lindsay discussing the 2010's spy thriller SALT and trying to update it (and the Spy genre in genera) to modern times. Our next episode sees her challenging me to remake GHOST. And it certainly was a challenge!

A poster for the film SALT (2010). Angelina Jolie stands in front of and the right side of a blurred yellow background, looking to her left pensively. On the left side of the image is the tagline "WHO IS SALT?"

If you haven't listened to Tanner's full re-working of Practical Magic into a miniseries that takes a closer look at love spells and true crime podcasters, now's a great time! And next week, Lindsay will be taking on the 2010's spy thriller Salt! Who is she, anyway?

A scene from the film Practical Magic. Sisters Gilly (Nicole Kidman) and Sally (Sandra Bullock) stand over the body of Jimmy Angelov (Goran Visnjic) as they work a spell to resurrect him. There are lit candles scattered around the kitchen, and Jimmy has a pentagram drawn on his chest with whipped cream.

A poster for the movie Salt (2010) starring Angelina Jolie. She stares at the viewer while the word "SALT" is superimposed over her face, and superimposed over that is the phrase "Who Is Salt?"

ICYMI, last week was May the 4th! We wrapped up our Star Wars Sequel Reboot Trilogy! We don't have to talk about Star Wars again until we decide we have to talk about Star Wars again! I'm posting Caddyshack Wicket by @cwoodsart.bsky.social again because it's the gift that keeps on giving.

A drawing of Wicket Warrick from Star Wars. He's wearing a dark blue polo shirt similar to the one worn by Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack. He's standing on a golf course and looking towards the camera while declaring "Hey everybody! We're all gonna get laid!"

In case you missed it, last week our special guest @fabbybear.itch.io taught us how to Warhammer and all about the world of Cadia. Oh boy, I hope nothing bad happens there. Next week, we're also headed back to school for Lindsay's pitch on Class of the Titans!

A cover for Warhammer 40,000: The Fall of Cadia, by Robert Rath. It shows a small group of soldiers with a few futurist pieces of armour and weaponry, standing in front of a backdrop of other soldiers and burning buildings.

A cover of the Warhammer 40,000 short story Loyal to the End (and Imperial Knights Short Story by Thomas Parrott). It depicts a large mech with a hunched back, a chainsword on one arm, and a double-barrelled cannon in the other. It's painted black, red, and silver.

Health difficulties and plans for the next ep not cooking properly mean we're going to have to push our break a little longer. Our next episode won't be Great Escape, it'll now be something else - with a guest! In the meantime, check out or previous episode on Dog Soldiers!

The poster for "Dog Soldiers." In a painted style, several British soldiers face off against a small pack of werewolves. The tagline: "Six Men. Full Moon. No Chance."

ICYMI, last week we went to the opera and also reinvented what opera might be? Take that, Napoleon! Stay tuned for next week where we fight English werewolves!

In case you missed it, last week Kit sawed us in half again. We discussed Concerned Children's Advertisers and how we're still a little concerned about the children (and the parents for that matter). And next week, we're going to the opera!

A very grainy screengrab of "Don't You Put It In Your Mouth." Two blue-furred puppets, a boy and a girl, sing a song about not eating things you're not familiar with.

Not If I Reboot You First! @niiryfpod.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

In case you missed it, last week Lindsay accepted my challenge to make a biopic about the legendary warrior queen Tomyris. And she did, by pitching a full-on documentary miniseries. Man if we actually started making some of these pitches they'd need such a budget...

Tomyris and the Head of Cyrus, Frankenthal porcelain, c. 1773. A porcelain tableau showing several figures dressed in colourful Massagetae clothes while one of them, Tomyris, dunks the severed head of Cyrus into a basin of blood.

Jamaica Inn is a REAL PLACE! It's wicked haunted! It might be near the lake where Excalibur got yeeted! It's also the subject of last week's episode, where we took a step back and immediately got beset by feral animals. Give it a listen!

A VHS cover of Jamaica Inn (1983) starring Jane Seymour. Jane's character looks pensively in the foreground, while behind her looms her uncle Joss, a bedraggled and menacing man. The tagline reads "Where thieves gather. Where shadowy figures plot murderous deeds. And where fear and deception reside."

The real life sign for the real life Jamaica Inn. It's a painting in a wrought-iron frame depicting a menacing and looming pirate with a hat, an eyepatch, and a parrot sitting on his shoulder. A ship sinks in the background.

Not If I Reboot You First! @niiryfpod.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

In case you missed it, last week we figured out how to make Point Break even gayer than before, despite - or maybe because of - some wild tangents on the way there. Also don't forget to check out our new patreon, especially if you wanna pop in some ideas for Mega Man bosses!

Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) gazes lovingly at Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) while Bodhi gazes lovingly at the sea and clutches his surfboard. They wanna kiss so bad.

In case you missed it, last week the wheel turned, the lady vanished, and we did a quick little Hitchcock reboot. Stay turned for next week, when we'll be headed to L.A. for a reboot of Point Break!

A poster for "The Lady Vanishes", starring Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas, and Dame May Whitty; DIrected by Alfred Hitchcock. The poster shows a view of several train cabins open from the hallway. From right to left, the cabins contain: a man holding a gun while a woman hides behind him; a male doctor and a nun watching over a heavily bandaged patient; a woman in bed while a man searches the cabin; two soldiers with pistols, one of whom seems to be dying; a woman hiding from the rest of the train.

In case you missed it, last week Lindsay rearranged the Terminator timeline into something so complex it took both of us to untangle it - but at least it had an optimistic ending? Coming soon, Tanner will reboot the Mindwarp books by Chris Archer. Never heard of them? You're not alone...

An image of the Terminator. An intimidating man played by Arnold Schwarzenegger is wearing sunglasses and holding a shotgun in one hand. The image is all black and white, except for a menacing red light emanating from behind one lens of the glasses.

The cover of "Mindwarp: Alien Scream" by Chris Archer. A young boy is looking at the reader and screaming. Inside his mouth is a pool of silver liquid swirling in a spiral pattern. The tagline reads "fear sounds the same in any language."

In case you missed it, last week we revisited Penny Dreadful to reboot it's second season! Look at this super fitting image I found! Listen to Vanessa. She knows things. Anyway next week we're making another Terminator because we don't have enough of those :P

A scene of Vanessa Ives from the the series "Penny Dreadful". She is a pale-skinned woman with dark hair and dressed in black Victorian Clothing, standing in front of a worn-down country home. A streak of red has been superimposed over her, as well as the words "CATCH UP" in all-caps.

In case you missed it, last week @pand.bsky.social brought girls' media into Ready Player One in an attempt to trans it up a little (or a lot) and attempt to not fall into the RPO trap of "naming things we like" (we only slightly failed that one). Our next episode will be out Sep 15th - see below!

The cover of "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. The title and author's name are in bold yellow text on a red background. A small pixel figure is seen jumping to grab a key inside the O.

ICYMI, our latest episode is on Mummies Alive! Tanner had so many ideas they basically wrote an entire reboot fanfic script treatment. Be sure to give it a listen before a Crocodile drags you into the Nile (again)! And on July 7th, a special guest joins us to Finish the Fight in the Halo TV Series!

A poster for the 90s cartoon Mummies Alive! Four mummies wrapped in bandages and with grey skin emerge from a golden poster. One is lithe with green glothing (Rath), one is a girl with red clothing and long white hair (Nefer-Tina), one is large, buff, missing an arm, and has purple clothing (Armon), and one is noble-looking with blue clothing (Ja-Kal).

ICYMI, last week we rearranged our favourite parts of The Last Jedi into a film we thought better reflected the themes of Star Wars (like how Andor does). No new episode next week, but tune in on June 2nd for Lindsay answering a roguish challenge...

The poster for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Predominantly red and white, it has images of the main cast looking ominously and earnestly at the viewer while surrounded by lightsaber blades and starfighters.

ICYMI, last week we went back to school - Fairy Tale School! Check out our reboot of Ever After High with @iwritequeersins.bsky.social where we squared some circles and fleshed out the promise of the premise!

Key Art from Ever After high. Four stylish teen girls with fairy-tale themed clothing are standing together. Briar Beauty (dark skin, pink and black clothing with bramble patterns), Apple White (pale skin, blonde hair, apple and flower theming), Raven Queen (pale skin, violet hair, purple and black gothic lace clothing), Madelyn Hatter (pink skin, purple and teal hair, wild and clashing clothing patterns).

Not If I Reboot You First! @niiryfpod.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

ICYMI, last week's podcast saw Tanner try and make a new iteration of Custom Robo - one that's a little more haunted than you'd expect for a game about children's psychic gunpla warfare toys. ...'kay reading it out now, maybe not that shocking. Next time, we're headed to Ever After High!

The cover of Custom Robo for the Gamecube. A predominantly white and blue robot, with some red and green highlights, is in an action pose on the cover wielding two futuristic guns. It has a human-like face and spikes coming out of it's helmet that look like an anime hairdo.

The cover of Custom Robo Arena for Nintendo DS. A similar robot to the one on the gamecube is in an action pose, this time mostly blue, and wielding a yellow gun in one hand and a red gun in the other (with an orange contraption strapped to it's back). Some other robots are behind it - a hulking green and yellow one, a red and white one who's head is just an orb with a single eye, and a feminine pink one with blonde pigtails.

Not If I Reboot You First! @niiryfpod.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

In case you missed it, last week we did a deep dive into Drakengard, and despite how messed up the game is, the episode itself is incredibly fun! Check it out! Next week isn't necessarily AS messed up, but our reboot of Custom Robo might've been slightly influenced by Yoko Taro as well...

A poster for the video game Drakengard. In the foreground, human knight Caim glowers at the viewer while reading a sword. Behind him, villain Inurat cradles the unconcious damsel Furiae. In the background, the red dragon Angelus breaths a swath of flame over the scene.

Japanese video game creator Yoko Taro, who wears a mask that looks like his whole head is the moon. It has eyes with no pupils, nostrils but no nose, and an awkward, grimacing smile. He's also wearing a black-and-white paisley scarf, very fetching.

Not If I Reboot You First! @niiryfpod.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

ICYMI, last week Tanner took another look at Open Heart and gave it a chance to expand on its dramatic mysteries for teen sleuths (and viewers like you!) Next week, Lindsay desperately tries to pull together a British mystery tv series for some books that don't even have a tv tropes page, smh.

A promo still for the show Open Heart, featuring three fashionable teens (a boy and two girls) looking pointedly at the camera.

The cover of "Maisie Dobbs" by Jacqueline Winspear. It features a vector rendition of a couple walking under and umbrella, and a woman in the foreground following them under her own umbrella. In the background, the skyline of London looms.

Rudolph is trans, Hermey is gay, and Yukon Cornelius is a communist. If you need something short and sweet to power through the Christmas/New Year's limbo, why not listen to last week's reboot? And coming soon in the new year, we'll be learning all about the Secret History or Dark Academia...

A screencap from "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", the special by Rankin Bass. Hermey the little gay elf and Rudolph the titular reindeer cavort across a snowy landscape.

Not If I Reboot You First! @niiryfpod.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

In case you missed it, last week we made a Cruella sequel and figured out the difference between punk, selling out, and whatever the original film was doing. But next week, just in time for Christmas, we're retelling the story of a misfit reindeer who's destined to cross paths with Santa...

Cruella from the 2021 live-action film. She has hair that is half black and half white, wears a cool leather jacket, and has "The Future" airbrushed over her eyes and face.

Our latest episode (which went up a week and a half ago but I forgot to skeet about it) is a reboot of the 2000 Australian Slasher film Cut! Check that out below, and then tune in Monday where we go meta from another angle with an adaptation of the novel Silver Nitrate.

Molly RIngwald in Cut (2000). She's dressed like a Hollywood starlet, with leopard print and furs, and looks rather put out as she stands in front of an airport arrivals gate.

Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. A harsh red novel with it's title in silver, the only image being a pair of frightened eyes beneath a spiralling filter.

Seven Years ago we started this podcast with a reboot of Once Upon a Time season 2, and on every anniversary we rebooted another season of it. Two years ago we finished it, and now we need a new annual, seasonal, public domain show to reboot. Listeners, we present...PENNY DREADFUL.

A poster for Penny Dreadful, starring (left to right) Timothy Dalton, Reeve Carney, Eva Green, Harry Treadaway, and Josh Hartnett. They are all staring at the camera and wearing somewhat gothic Victorian outfits (except for Reeve Carney who, as Dorian Grey, looks like he's in a boyband).

Have you been enjoying the Duskmourne storyline for Magic the Gathering? Doesn't matter either way, because @samgasch.bsky.social is wiping the slate clean and starting from scratch. Let's go on an adventure! Let's go exploring on a skyship that's not a breeding program! Let's tell a magical story!

What ARRR you doing? You should be listening to our newest episode, where we reboot Pirates of the Caribbean! Though to avoid the original film's elephants, and to stand out from all the other pirates, it's almost it's own thing aside from a few jokes. Still, check it out!

Hector Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean. A grizzled man in his 50s or 60s wearing pirate garb.

Robin Wright as Antiope from Wonder Woman. A muscular blond woman in the midst of throwing a powerful punch. Antiope isn't in our Pirate movie. Robin on the other hand...

In our latest episode, special guest Kit invites you to dinner...and a murder! But who will solve this murder? How about a crew of characters parodying famous detectives from the past 30 years? And an offputting long-term cannibal boyfriend? And a dog or two? And Sam Lake? Listen to find out!

In the not too distant future (today), the original Rollerball will no longer exist...but there will be themes. Tanner's rebooting both the 1975 original and the 2002 remake. One is mindful, one just looks cool, but between the two of them there's an actual cyberpunk story in there. Listen now!

The 1975 poster for Rollerball. A painting of a man in a spiked helmet and wearing a spiked glove stares at the viewer, with the tagline "In the not too distant future, wars will no longer exist. But there will be Rollerball."

This week, our reboot of Cherry 2000 dives into what it would take for someone to fall in love with a robot girlfriend - and what real companies would do to make you keep paying for one (but let's be real, they'd at least be waterproof). Do you dare venture into Zone 6 to give it a listen?

The movie poster for Cherry 2000, depicting a beautiful blonde robot woman, a rough-and-tumble redheaded action girl, and some straight white guy.

It's a half-baked episode on a half-baked episode this week, but if we're lucky Tanner will cook it enough to keep it from being raw. Fighting Foodons! Y'know this might seem incredible, but what if what the show need was seven more parodies and a soft butch cat girl? Accept no substitutions!

MAGIC SWORD! This week we take on The Black Cauldron, a movie so mid that Disney didn't even acknowledge it during their milestone celebration. Lindsay is going back to the source material to make something a little cooler and for tweens, and you don't need a prophetic pig to know it turns out rad!

I think Pacific Rim: Uprising had lots of good set pieces but didn't take the time for them to make sense with the worldbuilding. In this week's episode, let's slim down the plot while making it resonate with the first's themes, and also make it 3x as gay, and also Hermann's dad is here. Listen now!

Jake Pentecost (John Boyega) and Nate Lambert (Scott Eastwood) from Pacific: Rim Uprising. They're all grimed up and definitely boyfriends.

Our first guest of the new era is @risquips.bsky.social! They're taking a mallet to My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, because it's trash and doesn't make sense, but they can make something from it that actually respects and relates to the ups and downs and the experience of diaspora. And no John Legend!

It's time for a requel! As long as we fix that one casting mistake we can make another Man from UNCLE movie, and dive directly into the throuple that we never knew we needed. Not to mention several mysterious, attractive women who are great at what they do. I wonder if there's a spinoff...
