Hopelessly Casual: Re-Casualed

Episode 18 - Lettinge Her Run Wild (On the Grand Line)

After last week's episode on all things trailers and the new teaser trailer for Netflix' One Piece live action adaptation being released, Freya suggested breaking it down almost scene for scene (and the whole of the beginning arcs of the franchise while she's at it! Even though she'd insist that she still contained herself). And Christian agreed... So we all have to live with the consequences now! In this weeks episode, enjoy Freya's unbridled takes on everything pertaining to and around the upcoming second season of One Piece. You might just come out a believer yourself on the other end.

Episode 17 - Trail(er)blazing Through The Ages

On a market already oversaturated with podcasts talking about movies (and all things nerd related), what's the one thing that could possibly be even more pointless? Talking about the goddamn trailers! Join us in this weeks episode to further your knowledge of things you could never apply in a real world conversation to an unholy extent, when we talk about the history and evolution of those little films that get us oh so excited about new releases, theatric or otherwise.

Episode 16 - So It's Come to This - A Hopelessly Casual Clip Show

What happens when due to unforeseen circumstances the smarter half of the operation has to bow out and leaves the other half to its own devices? A clip show, that's what! (If it was good enough for The Simpsons back in the day, it's certainly good enough for us now.) Bit of a shorter episode this week, but it features some of our favourite moments from our earliest podcast outings. A nice opportunity for long time listeners to go back and for those who have just stumbled upon us to get an idea what we're all about. We'll be back next week with a brand new episode.

Episode 15 - Hitting the Wall - Or the Things I Do at Night!

After having Freya do the heavy lifting on our last topic, find out in this week's episode what Christian does with his nights when everybody else is asleep and no one is watching. It's not nearly as sinister or kinky as you might have guessed/feared/hoped. But it certainly is surprising. And then again, knowing him, is it really? Join us on this week's episode to hear about a week long nightly obsession that started out with someone drawing on a wall. Contact the team: thehopelesslycasual@gmail.com

Episode 14 - Wait! Can She Do That?! - Being a Woman in Fandom

To this day in popular culture and especially in areas considered "nerdy", fandom is still in many cases thought of and represented as male coded. A certain idea of who partakes in a lot of these fandoms and who it is aimed at in the first place still seems very much prevalent. But, in a rare moment of clarity, after so many episodes, Christian realised that, sitting opposite him, is someone who defies this notion. So in this week's episode Freya shares what she's experienced in a life time as a devoted fan and contributor to a variety of fandoms that she's enjoyed over the years and gives us a glimpse of how varied these fandoms and those who enjoy them really are.
