Married to the Fandom
Welcome to Married to the Fandom, where we geek out so you don't have to! (Okay, you can still geek out with us.)
Join your hosts, Samantha and Justin Eck, a delightfully geeky married couple, as we navigate the wild waters of pop culture armed with nothing but our love for each other, our wits, questionable opinions, and a boatload of obscure references.
Each week, we'll dive headfirst into the latest and greatest in video games, books, TV shows, and movies.
From dissecting plot twists that'll make your brain hurt to debating which fictional characters would win in a dance-off, we cover it all.
Our mission? To make sense of the media madness, share our marital misadventures in geekdom, and have a blast doing it.
Whether you're a casual fan, a pop culture professor, or just someone who enjoys eavesdropping on a couple's nerdy debates, there's something here for everyone.
We promise discussions that are:
- 50% insightful analysis
- 49% terrible puns and couples' inside jokes
- 1% us trying to remember that actor's name (you know, the one from that thing?)
So grab your favorite snack, settle into your comfiest chair, and get ready to third-wheel with us as we level up your pop culture game.
New episodes drop every Friday, because let's face it, you needed another excuse to procrastinate.
Subscribe now and join our merry band of misfits as we prove that the couple that geeks out together, stays together!
