Fandom on the Rocks

Fandom on the Rocks is a smart, funny, emotionally invested podcast about television, fandom, ships, chaos, and questionable narrative choices. We recap shows like Glee, 9-1-1, and Teen Wolf with love, skepticism, and an alarming number of notes — digging into character arcs, fandom discourse, slow burns, plot holes, and the canon that almost gets it right. Grab a coffee, pull up a chair. Let’s overthink television together.

    (S3E20) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - Echo House

    ⚠️ Big content warning: this episode deals with suicide, abusive institutional mental health care, dubious sexual consent, and violence. Please take care of yourself. Stiles checks himself into Eichen House after seeing an MRI that matches his mom’s… and absolutely no one (including us) thinks this is a good idea. While he’s trying to survive the world’s worst psych ward — complete with Oliver, Morrell, Brunski, a broken pay phone, a hidden corpse, and one very determined Nogitsune — the rest of the pack is out hunting the missing Shugendō scroll. Scott, Kira, Allison and Isaac end up in a full-on armored-car brawl with Kincaid, Chris and Derek are still locked up together (#EnemiesToLovers energy thriving), and Deaton is once again allergic to offering clear answers. Inside Eichen House, Stiles and Malia break into the basement, uncover secrets behind the walls, and run straight into Oliver’s trepanation meltdown while a demon whispers riddles over Stiles’ shoulder. This episode is chaotic, heavy, and unsettling from every angle — and our boy Stiles is at the center of all of it. xoxo, Fandom on the Rocks

    Glee on the Rocks: 5x14 - "Blaine’s Gelmet & Other Crimes Against New York”

    This week, we hit Glee’s big reset button as the show abandons Lima for New York — and immediately forgets how the big city works. In 5x14, "New New York," Rachel Berry gets chauffeured through Manhattan like she’s allergic to the subway, Kurt and Blaine enters their domestic sitcom era (complete with cursed pajamas and a SodaStream), and Artie learns that accessibility in NYC is a myth. This episode we break down: 🛋️ Blaine’s fatal mistake: bringing home a couch from the street (never pick up fabric furniture) 💅 Rachel’s ongoing campaign to be truly insufferable 🎸 Elliot “Starchild” Gilbert, gone too soon sweet prince 🚇 Artie vs. the subway, round two (and somehow he wins with pepper spray??) We also talk the Klaine divorce era, Darren and Adam Lambert’s glitter-rock detour, and why every Glee character should be sentenced to “straight to jail” for crimes against New York. So join us for bedbugs, bad geography, and Blaine’s unholy Gelmet—because if Glee can survive this New York transition, so can we (do we survive? so they? we find out). xoxo, Fandom on the Rocks

    (S3E19) Pack Dynamics: A Teen Wolf Podcast - Letharia Vulpina

    This week on Teen Wolf, Dr. Deaton is in fact the world's only veterinarian, Derek and Chris accidentally become besties, and everyone else is having an absolutely terrible time. In 3×19, "Letharia Vulpina," Stiles is missing (again) and we see some wonderful familiar faces. Fall sports are back at Beacon Hills and everyone's running cross country. Uncle Peter is back and he hits on Natalie. Jared-the-almost-bus-vomiter is back, except this time he has a Suspicious Package. (No, seriously. It might explode.) In other news, Allison and Lydia confront Peter for help and they end up with an enormous secret that Talia took to her grave. Derek and Chris are arrested together (#EnemiesToLovers) and end up in an explosion. Kira can catch a literal live wire in her hands, Isaac gets super burned, and the Die On Teen Wolf contest winner makes her debut. Mrs. Yukimura breaks a tail, Stiles stabs Scott with a sword, and Deaton injects Stiles with the wolf lichen he stole from the Yakuza. A totally normal day here on Teen Wolf, like you do. Next week: somehow, it gets worse. xoxo, Fandom on the Rocks

    Bonus Episode: 9-1-1 Mini Series #7

    "Fandom is a participatory event. In one way or the other." Welcome back to Fandom on the Rocks, where there’s never a plan — only chaos, retcons, and a lot of feelings about 9-1-1. In this 9-1-1 bonus episode, we dive headfirst into Season 9, the emotional hangover of losing Bobby Nash, and yeah, that was a whale swallowing a billionaire kayaker. From the four-part fever dream of a season opener to Athena’s latest flashback, Emily and Alison pick apart every questionable creative choice, all while mourning the death of stakes and the unfortunate rise of beige set design. We also talk about what’s happening outside the show: from fans needing to be right, the algorithm turning us into engagement machines, and how fandom only survives if everyone brings something to the potluck — a fic, a gif, or just a little enthusiasm. Come for the space rant, stay for the fandom therapy — and remember: if you reach the end of a fic, you leave kudos. xoxo, Fandom on the Rocks
