Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #149: Superheroes and Hormones

Life isn't easy when you're a teenager trying to balance high school, potential love interests, academic decathlon...oh and saving the world from bad guys as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Join us in this spoiler-filled review of Spider-Man: Homecoming. We discuss what we liked, what we didn't like, and Easter eggs galore. Plus a little bit of news (finally!) and some end-of-the-month housekeeping.

Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #148: Fandom Christmas 2017 Part 2

The dump truck of news has backed up again to Five(ish) Fangirls HQ, this time with all of the fun stuff that came from San Diego Comic Con. We've got toys, we've got trailers, we've got Chris Hardwick giving us a serious case of FOMO. It's a LOT of good stuff and we barely scratched the surface. Plus some unfortunate 10 O'clock news, and some non-SDCC convention announcements.
