What is discussed at the start of this section?
Hello, and welcome back to what is potentially the last House of R we will ever record. I'm Joanne Robinson. That is Mallory Rubin. It is our third annual Valentine's Day Quickie. We're here today to test the bounds of our HR department, to test the patience of our producer, Carlos, who is, poor man, in the room with us. Mere feet away. It's just an all-time pod to wind up in this studio for.
Yeah.
As we read some things that Mallory and I both are unsure we feel up to reading on this very podcast here. You know what? We're going to see how it feels in real time.
We've got a little foreplay, a little warm-up.
How do the hosts introduce the Valentine's Day Quickie?
We'll see how the mood strikes us in real time. This is a confluence of multiple series. It's not only our third V-Day Quickie, it's our fifth Best of the Century So Far podcast. We're combining series. It's a sweaty melding of bodies and forms.
Yeah.
We'll be back after this.
All right, listen. Yes. Did our best of the quarter century series start last year with the idea of only doing it last year? Sure did. Are we continuing anyway? We are. When is the actual calendar? ever stopped us before? That's a great question. Before we get to our rules of what we're doing here today, again, once again, perhaps the last House of R we will ever record. You know what?
What are the rules for today's episode?
We're going to be fine. If we don't end our podcast right here, right now, today, on Sunday, we will be back with an episode of Talk the Thrones with Chris Ryan. You, me, Dunk, Egg, and the whole gang will be there right after the episode airs on Sundays, episode five. Wonderful. We'll do a deep dive on Tuesday. Deep! A long, long marathon recording that will, you know, test everyone's endurance. Some people will be diving deep today as well. And then Buffy season three, part two, allegedly. It's happening. After that, next week. So that is what is happening.
I have presents for you guys. Carlos already knows, so... Oh, Buffy presents? Yeah. Now it's just sort of like just been sitting there. Time to bring them in. Dusty, dusty Buffy presents. Are you taking those in at any point?
We will be doing that podcast. Mallory. Joanna, my darling. How can people make sure they don't miss the podcast if indeed it does exist beyond today? We're just talking about content, you know?
Yeah. We're just talking about content. It's all canon. It is. And so it's all fair game and all in bounds today. Here's what I would recommend, as always. Follow the pod. Follow House of R on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. You can watch full video episodes. I don't know why I'm doing the Sir Arlen dick size. You know why. Or do I know why? You know why. In a certain headspace already. Sir Arlen did not make the...
What is the significance of favorite couples in genre storytelling?
the pod today. Sad to say. But did he make my list? That's right. I don't know your list, as we'll explain shortly. Follow the pod. You can also watch full video episodes of House of R on the Ringerverse YouTube channel, so that's wonderful. And you can follow the Ringerverse on the social media platform of your choosing. We're on Twitter. We're on Instagram. We're on TikTok. It's been a minute since I've been on Twitter.
I think the way you just said we're on Twitter is how everyone feels when they log on to Twitter. We're on Twitter.
We're everywhere. And while you are at it, your phone is in your hand, you're at your computer. send us an email. The inbox is always open, hobbitsanddragons at gmail.com. We still, we don't know when, maybe it'll be in the year 2037 at this point, but we still intend at some point to conclude the Best of the Century So Far series when we decide it is the right moment to conclude it with a kind of grab bag episode of Best of the Rest. The Bad Babies, you've already sent us so many wonderful nominations for categories. Keep them coming. Sure.
We also mentioned that we might be doing a mailbag soon, so we've been getting a lot of random mailbag questions from people. That's great. I'm saving them up. Wonderful. I think we have an open spot coming in a couple weeks. Amazing.
Spoiler warning. As always for Best of the Century, it's just a pretty sweeping one.
