The Shipping Forecast

This week, the forecasters get together to talk Project Hail Mary. On the way, Grace gives some top dating advice (yes, that's the shirt she's talking about in the thumbnail) and grimaces as her name comes up in every story. Nick gives fashion advice, and James is just here for the ride.

This week, we get together in the middle of a heatwave to talk about the secret fourth member of SuperWhoLock, which has recently tried to wrap up a 6 hour series in the space of 100 minutes. We share our opinions, read some fics, and ask hard hitting questions like

Is Free Will Real? 

Was chitty chitty bang bang sentient?

Is it wrong to exclusively promote twinks to the position of cardinal? (Like Sixtus the 4th allegedly did)

His coming has been foreshadowed for some time. This week, we talk about F1, doing our best to wrangle Nick away from talking about the car side of it to focus on the surprisingly popular shipping of the drivers. Join us, as we look at some of the best F1 fics and answer hard hitting questions like:

Just how DO you become an alpha?

Why does everyone want men to cry?

What exactly does bricked up mean?

This week, partly to explore what happens to a large fandom after a bubble bursts, but mostly because Grace is smitten for Sir Dunk (the big himbo in Seven Kingdoms)

Join us, as we do our best to remember every characters name and work out who we ship. If that sounds your jam have a listen here:

This week, we take another crack at exploring the Wasteland (and update the monologue we did from the last time) to discuss Fallout Season 2, which has given us another thinly veiled excuse to talk about one of Nick and James' favourite settings again.

Join us, as a new old man joins our yaoi repertoire, and if that sounds your jam have a listen here:

This week, the Forecasters appease the girlfriends of 2/3 of our hosts by having a look at Heated Rivalry. Join us as we learn a limited amount about Hockey, plan Nick's valentines evening, and answer hard hitting questions like:

What is a Tuna Melt?

If he's only 1/4 horse what is the rest?

Are One Direction a Hockey team?

Should we get involved in the audio description industry?

This week, we start our batch of "things we wanted to talk about in 2025 but didn't get time", with Uma Musume; the game that has been getting James through the edits by being good second monitor content. We talk best horse designs, favourite ships, and take a look at what the fandom is putting out!

So the plan was to wrap up the year with this, but as always life often gets in the way!

Best Old Man Yaoi

Best Rare Pair

Best Het Ship

The "I Can Fix Him/Her/Them" Award for Problematic Faves

The "Hear Me Out" Award

Spoilers for multiple things here, but we try to foreshadow it especially with the images in the thumbnail.

This week, James has returned from his travels and its time to talk Dispatch, the game where you boss around several hot but dysfunctional adults. We figure out if James made the right choices (it sounds like he didn't), take a look at some fics, and answer hard hitting questions like:

Why are the writers such cowards?

His Water Boy the ultimate bottom?

What is a girlfailure?

Did Thatcher Ruin Pegging?

This week, we check back in with Wednesday. The second season came out with very little fanfare on our sides of the internet so we suspected our favourite pair didn't get together. Grace watched the new season and catches us up, then we check in to see what the fandom has evolved into after three years devoid of content!

This week, Nick and James return to Wikihow to learn how to play Truth or Dare. They never actually played this together as teens, so now is the time to get all the gross stories out.

We also learn who among us has Rizz, which of us are sigma males, and Nick specifically learns what a Labubu is.

This week, its Nick's turn to talk special interests. Join us as we explore Jurassic Park; a series of tales about the hubris of man, but also family(?). We take a look at the best stories in the fandom, including my new personal favourite; where Henry the 5th gets lost in time.

Join us, as we answer hard hitting questions, like:

What films would you watch if you have a concussion?

Did the macallisters have mob ties?

And most importantly; Feathers or Scales?

This week its James' turn to talk about his special interests. Join Nick and Grace as they are told about Expedition 33, a French JRPG that has skipped the queue into James' favourite games.

I cannot stress enough that we talk spoilers for all three acts in the episode (but not the trailer), and I recommend playing it first because theres a lot that is best experienced first hand. But theres just no way to talk about any of it without them so here we are.

If you do stick around, you can look forward to us reviewing the best of ao3' for Expedition 33, and answering hard hitting questions like:

What would be worse; Wood or Baguette?

Why do Dead Wives look like that?

What would Gestrals ejaculate?

And many other things.
