Genre Shift | |
Peculiar Objects (Podcast) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: Or rather, genre augmentation: Season One focused exclusively on the Free-Range Children adventure movies of the 80's and included supernatural elements; Season Two continues this trend while also slathering on a squamous layer of Teen and Body Horror, to the point that a disclaimer was added to the beginning of every episode. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: A natural consequence of undergoing a Genre Shift from the nebulous existential and Cosmic Horror of Season One to the visceral Body Horror of Season Two; it really starts ramping up with the Picture Day Incident. | |

Author Appeal All three boys are film nerds of various kinds, but Thony and Nigel are especially knowledgeable about the cinema of Films of the 1980s and the Slasher Movie. Nigel's thorough knowledge of Evel Knievel is shared by Oddie. Casey's interest in American Sign Language bleeds over into Kitt, which comes in handy more than once. | |

Free-Range Children: One of the core elements of both the show and the game system it uses; Oddie and Kitt are fairly young children but are free to roam Spencer's Folly basically at will, although due to their particular circumstances (pseudo-orphan and latchkey kid, respectively) they have very little supervision even by the standards of The '80s. | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
Peculiar Objects (Podcast) / int_8a817c2a | comment |
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: The disclaimer added to every episode notes that while the show may include violence, references to drugs and alcohol, child endangerment and body horror, it will never include any kind of sexual violence. All four players are fond of genre conventions and want to preserve the spirit of 80's teen horror films as much as possible, but recognize that not everything deserves saving, and quite a lot that was considered raunchy fun in the past would absolutely constitute sexual harassment, abuse or assault by modern standards, and that's a line they aren't willing to cross. | |

The only exception in Season One is the final episode, appropriately titled 'Epilogue'. | |

Shout-Out: DeSoto referring to his customers as 'Friends of DeSoto' is a nod to the Star Trek podcast The Greatest Generation, whose listeners us the phrase as a shibboleth to identify each other. Season Two reveals that there's another Polybius machine in the arcade at the movies, which raises the question: "What the hell is happening in Spencer's Folly that the government needs TWO sinister, mysterious arcade games gathering data and/or brainwashing people there?" | |

Country Mouse: Kitt is from somewhere 'down south' and many of the ways of Spencer's Folly are strange to him, such as the teens of the town not patrolling for danger and the local multiplex not offering hot, buttered peas or a nice stew at the concession stand | |

Peculiar Objects (Podcast) / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Johnny Figueroa, soda jerk at the Four Corners, is believed to be a vampire of some kind by most of the children of Spencer's Folly because he's always there; the revelation that he has a nearly-identical brother named Jimmy doesn't necessarily disprove this idea, but does offer a possible explanation. | |

Peculiar Objects (Podcast) / int_d7fc9fd0 | comment |
Vitriolic Best Buds: Thony and Casey, but only in this context; off-mic they're very careful to avoid misunderstanding one another because they're both terrified of unknowingly hurting their best friend's feelings. On-mic, however, The Gloves Come Off intentionally to see how much they can provoke each other for Rule of Funny. | |

Switching P.O.V.: The introduction of Episode 6 recounts the previous episode's events from Katt's perspective, and implies that his may be more than a typical canine intelligence. | |

Bookcase Passage: Discovered by K.R. after following the clue given to him by Susan; for bonus points, also involves a Concealing Canvas that leads to a Secret Room containing a Magical Library complete with its very own Scary Librarian! | |

Peculiar Objects (Podcast) / int_eb6ed797 | comment |
Children Raise You: Oddie's mother, when she comes home at all, is cared for by her son in an almost complete role-reversal: he makes her dinner, tucks her in when she crashes on the couch, and calls regularly to make sure she's okay. | |

Once per Episode: Always Introduces Themselves: All three guys, usually along a theme related to a particular piece of 80's media. Thony firing Casey from the podcast, usually for pun-related offenses. The intro sequence devolving into a tangent discussion and/or argument about what constitutes a "kids on bikes" movie. Thony saying 'cue spooky synth music' to trigger the outro theme. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Oddie struggles valiantly against this while attempting to reconnoiter during a showing of Porky's, and aside his collar involuntarily popping does very well. | |
