The Reccers return with a very literary episode! This time out, we'll be exchanging the TV series Antiquarian Bookshop Biblia's Casefiles and the romance novel Heart of the Steal by Avon Gale and Roan Parrish.
(This is our second attempt to record this episode due to technical problems, and doing it the second time made it run short, BUT we were able to add to its length by suddenly veering off into an impromptu discussion of our favourite Godzilla movies because we're professionals god dammit)

Sherloctober 2017 comes to a close and Kristie and Matty revisit their recommendations to each other, the gloriously 90's TV movie 1994 Baker Street: Sherlock Holmes Returns and the excellent-in-every-way novel A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas.
(There's a very minor not-really-even-a-spoiler spoiler for a very small aspect of A Study in Scarlet Women from 55:00 to 56:39 but maybe skip it if you haven't read it and want to, which you should, because it's brilliant)

Kristie's back, and she's brought a list of her Top Five Sherlock Holmes...Things! And demanded Matty do the same, so prepare yourself for discussion of TV shows, Deducifyin' Cowboy Brothers, Young Lady Detectives, Cartoon Dogs and Opera Ghosts!
Content Warning:
Around 21 minutes in, we discuss the TV show Elementary and focus in particular on a main character whose storyline involves kidnapping and sexual abuse. If you'd prefer not to listen to this section of the episode, we recommend skipping ahead to around the 35 minute mark. <3

For week 3 of Sherloctober, Matty teams up with Becka from The Civil Podcast Network, who has graciously agreed to contribute her considerable bucketful of Sherlockspertise to the project.(A bucketful is what a Spand is, if you're wondering. It can also mean a team of two. I can words good, shut up.)

For week 2 of Sherloctober, Kristie and Matty get together for a freewheeling chat about how they got dragged into the whole Sherlock Holmes racket in the first place, and discuss The Romance Question.

Every Sunday in October we'll be posting a podcast episode talking about the Sherlock Holmes canon in all its forms!
We start with a special crossover episode of The Reccers! Kristie and Matty submit some Holmes-specific recommendations for each others' approval, namely the female-Holmes-AU novel A Study In Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas and the 1993 TV Movie Sherlock Holmes Returns.

Kristie and Matty return to share what they thought of each others' recommendations of a Youtube series examining Michael Bay's Transformers movies through a lens of film theory and analysis, and an animated movie focusing on bullying and disability in the Japanese school system.
The following Content Warnings apply during the discussion of A Silent Voice:
Ableism
Bullying
Suicide
Parental Abandonment
If you think we need to add more, please leave a comment or DM Matty
[Editor's note: Unfortunately while I was editing this I lost a lot of the original Audacity audio...somehow(??). I've stitched it together with our backup recording from Amolto Skype Recorder, so the whole episode is there, but some of it may sound different briefly, sorry! D: - Matty]

Kristie and Matty return with more recommendations, this time for an anime film exploring the experience of being deaf in modern Japan and a series of Youtube video essays acting as an introduction to film studies using the live-action Transformers movies as a base.
You can probably guess who recommended what.

Two weeks ago Kristie and Matty recommended stuff to each other, now find out what they thought as they repeatedly meander back and forth about both of them for around an hour and a half!
Some NSFW discussion including an overly-literal interpretation of the term Cockpit and an off-topic tangent on what can only be described Shark Prince Doubledick.

Kristie and Matty like things. Occasionally they like things that they think each other would ALSO like, so they decided to do a podcast where they yell at each other to check out some of the things they like!
Being yelled about this episode are the anime From The New World and the webcomic Starfighter. Join us again in two weeks to see what Kristie and Matty think of each other's recommendations.
Play along at home!
