The second episode in a multi-episode arc about fandom. Here we are looking at the uses and gratifications model and how the four key elements play out (very superficially) in the Willverse. We also bring our firsthand experience from other fandoms to the
Episode 153; Audience, Fandom, Fans, and Anti-Fans a Primer

Episode 152: Armie Hammer, Cannibalism, and the State of the Documentary

Episode 151: What the Fuck October Edition

Episode 149: White Gladys, The Willverse, and Aliens
This was a spontaneous--dare we say extemporaneous-- episode. We decided to just take on some random topics. It turned out hilarious and great. We discuss a tiktok fandom, White Gladys and other oceanic attacks on humans, and, of course, aliens from deep
