Boarding Party

Jackie and Corin are massive GoT nerds with some massive feelings over the ending of the HBO series. Join them as they discuss the final season, their overall thoughts on the show and their hope/dream/myriad fears for the future. Also, whose career are they most excited to watch post-Thrones? They answer may (not) shock you!

Casey Jost (Impractical Jokers, UCB Comedy) and Jackie talk about Casey's lifelong love of '90s toys. From Power Rangers to Stretch Armstrong, Jackie and Case cover the whole basement-full. Casey reveals how he gets to incorporate his love of figurines into his job as a producer at the super popular show Impractical Jokers. As a bonus, Casey offers some tips for surviving San Diego Comic-Con in one (unburnt) piece.

Dive deep into the world of Potter fandom with Jackie and her guest, Alise Morales (Cartoon President, Betches). This week, Jackie and Alise dive into her prolific work as a (teen) Potter fanfic author, sorting ceremony host, and proud Gryffindor. Alise walks us through the ins and outs of Potter fandom and helps us sort the current Democratic primary contestants into houses. Is Beto a Hufflepuff? That question and more is DEFINITIVELY answered on this week's Boarding Party.

Late Night with Seth Meyers writer Karen Chee joins host Jackie Jennings to share how her love of the Harry Potter books and films shaped her childhood and, dare she say it, college years. The two discuss what it means to be a Hufflepuff and a Ravenclaw and even reveal some of their biggest crushes from the franchise. But Karen is not just a nerd for the magically British; she has a passion for British comedy that goes deep, like fan theory deep. In celebration of Harry Potter's birthday in July, Boarding Party will be talking with comedians about their love for the Potterverse, be it the books, the films, the fan fiction, the parks, the author, or anything else. 

Jackie is joined by Late Night with Seth Meyers writer, self-identified geek, Sal Gentile to discuss Sal's lifelong love all things Batman. Tune in to find out how much space of Jackie's apartment is taken up by comics and boardgames, and how Aquaman figured out how to solve Batman's loneliness.

Jackie is joined by old UCB pal Brennan Lee Mulligan (College Humor, Dimension 20) to discuss Brennan's lifelong love of LARP-ing and D&D. Turns out, it's alllll thanks to mom -- hi, Mom! They also do deep on why D&D is having a moment now and what the next season of Dimension 20 holds in store for fans (Hint: It makes Jackie squeal with joy).

On this episode, Jackie chats with Zach Cherry (Crashing, You, Spider-Man: Homecoming) about his #1, very-nearly-genre fandom: Monk. Aside from discussing the ins and outs of being the actual star of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Zach also takes a swing at the first installment of Boarding Party's "Piss Off a Fan Base" with a hot take for Monk fans everywhere.

This week Jackie is joined by the voice of Kamala Harris on Cartoon President, Desus and Mero writer, pop star and all-around comedy dynamo Ziwe! They dive into Ziwe’s #1 childhood obsession — X-Men. They also come up with one really good sketch idea and discuss how to make race funny (or not). Check it out or face the Phoenix.

This Boarding Party gets meta (kind of) when the cast of Mission to Zyxx joins Boarding Party. A podcast cast on another podcast? It's practically Inception! Allie, Moujan and Jeremy discuss Star Trek, The X-Files and the process of making one very cool podcast. Plus, Sir Patrick Stewart receives a standing invite to join the fun on Zyxx. Sir Patrick, if you're listening, we're big fans. Like, very big.

Welcome to Boarding Party, the podcast where comedians get geeky. For this INAUGURAL episode of Boarding Party, Jackie chats with New York City's #1 George Lucas Talk Show Host, Connor Ratliff (Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, OITNB). They chat Star Wars, more Star Wars and also the Muppets. Every Star Wars movie is definitively ranked and the psyche of George Lucas is dissected to an almost alarming but ultimately fun degree. Join us, won't you?

Most comedians are frakking geeks. Join host Jacking Jennings for SYFY WIRE’s Boarding Party, where we talk to some of today’s funniest people about their secret (or not so secret) genre obsessions. Premieres Wednesday, May 15th. Available wherever you get your podcasts.
