Just Plain Weird

122 - Short and Shivery 37

This segment has entirely been hijacked by shortstory1 at this point. David, Kaela and Matt get AJ and Gwen to return and see how far the weirdness has gone and what tropes continue.

1. “Something keeps multiplying inside my apartment”
2. “If you are 30 years old and have a car, job and a house then you are a failure”
3. “I'm just trying to bury my father but drivers keep honking their horn”
4. “I want my room to be red”
5. “I was supposed to be maliciously compliant with my neighbours but it failed”

The whole gang (plus Matt) get together, get drunk, and get properly fed up with this story. They can only handle so much verbose, empty dialogue and passing references to way more interesting details that should have been shown, not told through the narrative. But is this truly the end?

107 - "The Lair of the White Worm" (Part 1) by Bram Stoker

in , ,

A new spooky saga begins! Kaela has enlisted the Creative Horror crew to read an infamously maligned horror novel by none other than the writer of Dracula, just to prove that even the most well-known authors can produce duds. The gang is about to find out why, and start plotting how they might drink their way through it in a creative way.

105 - "Weep My Lovely" by neosaiyanangel

We’re not strangers to fan fiction on this show, and luckily four of the five hosts - Kaela, Allen, Seid and Raevell - have some decent context to work with, while David is very much in the dark. Will this horror take on Madoka Magica leave the desired impression regardless of knowledge of the source material? And will Allen get the $5000 necessary to reveal his own Bionicle fiction at last?
