Not If I Reboot You First
@niiryfpod.bsky.social
A podcast where @SparkyUpstart.bsky.social and @Lindsaym476.bsky.social take the works they like and reboot/adapt/sequel them in a way they'd like to see. New episodes every other Monday...ish. We try!
Pinned
In our newest episode, Tanner accepted the Challenge to see if it's possible to make a new Highlander film without devolving into silliness. And y'know, not really - but you gotta make sure you're silly correctly is the main thing. Give it a listen!
262: Tanner is CHALLENGED to Find a Heterosexual Explanation for Immortals | Not If I Reboot You First!
You know the saying - "there can only be one!" The Highlander franchise has shown this repeatedly, but apparently a reboot is actually getting off the ground now? Well whether that works out or not, T...

Some of my favorite creatives teaming up is always a welcome surprise 😁
Its officially live! If you want to hear what a rat themed horror movie would be like from your favorite YouTube funny man, this is where you do it.

I took a plane, a bus and a subway to be here and wrote an entire script. Its pretty great, im very proud of it.
We’re returning to the Dark Universe with a scripted episode by guest @philistulok.bsky.social! Tulok’s brought in a gnarly new take on The Pied Piper that you can watch us perform and discuss RIGHT HERE:

It's so so so so so unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but I still think that anyone writing Heated Rivalry/Harry Potter crossovers and/or AUs should be run over by a Zamboni.

In case you missed it, last week Lindsay accepted my challenge to make a biopic about the legendary warrior queen Tomyris. And she did, by pitching a full-on documentary miniseries. Man if we actually started making some of these pitches they'd need such a budget...

Ack! Sorry y'all, I pressed the wrong button when scheduling the episode and didn't realize until know. Whoops!

In this episode, Tanner saw a middling historical epic and handed it to Lindsay while going "FIX THIS!" So let's journey across the scenic steppes of Kazakhstan and talk about Tomyris!
261: Lindsay is CHALLENGED to Make Cyrus Drink His Fill of Blood | Not If I Reboot You First!
The legend of Tomyris (the legend) is kinda fascinating, but The Legend of Tomiris (the film) squanders those parts and manages to be really long and say very little about the title character or her p...

to celebrate nancy drew public domain everyone should listen to the recently wrapped interstitial investigations season of riley hopkins and their amazing friends (which features nancy drew as a player character)

Also using this as an excuse to just publicly reach out to
@philistulok.bsky.social . You're pretty rad and don't have any DMs set to public (very valid) so this is an open invite to be a guest! We'll let you reboot New Capenna or whatever your heart desires! :P
Our new year's resolution is to have some more rad, big-name guests on the podcast! We've reached out to a few, but if you have anyone you think we should shoot our pod-shot with let us know!

And if you're a potential rad guest yourself, submit a pitch via our guest form!

Mega Man Star Force is an underrated spin-off of a spin-off of the Mega Man franchise, and while it got a solid conclusion, a fourth game got as far as a concept before getting cancelled...but merry christmas, Tanner's brought it back in our latest episode! Check it out!
260: Tanner Fights for Justice with the Power of Friendship and this MegaBuster They Found | Not If I Reboot You First!
Mega Man Star Force 4 only got as far as a concept, but it's enough of a concept for Tanner to spin into a whole pitch and game summary (which is good, because Lindsay knows almost nothing about any M...

Jamaica Inn is a REAL PLACE! It's wicked haunted! It might be near the lake where Excalibur got yeeted! It's also the subject of last week's episode, where we took a step back and immediately got beset by feral animals. Give it a listen!

There's still time to pledge $2 and pitch us a Mega Man Star Force boss!

We got a little meta-textual in our latest episode! Lindsay's version of Jamaica Inn follows a modern woman using the novel as a guide to investigate strange happenings in Cornwall - but forces may be driving them to mirror the narrative a little too closely...

Also, panthers.
259: Lindsay Looses Large Cats on Cornwall | Not If I Reboot You First!
Let's get a little meta today. Lindsay's not quite remaking Jamaica Inn so much as paying homage to it, with the tale of a woman using the book as a guide to explore all the English lore and history i...

In case you missed it, last week we figured out how to make Point Break even gayer than before, despite - or maybe because of - some wild tangents on the way there.

Also don't forget to check out our new patreon, especially if you wanna pop in some ideas for Mega Man bosses!
December 1, 2025 at 11:53 AM
It'd be easier to list action movies that AREN'T accidentally homo-erotic, but Point Break has got so much sauce it may actually be intentional. Let's turn that subtext into text on the latest episode of our podcast. Listen now!
258: Tanner wants Johnny Utah and Bodhi to Kiss SO BAD They Look Stupid | Not If I Reboot You First!
Point Break is a patently silly premise executed shockingly well? Why are we rebooting this? Well, it's not explicitly gay and we gotta change that. But that's not enough for an entire episode, so we ...

In case you missed it, last week the wheel turned, the lady vanished, and we did a quick little Hitchcock reboot.
Stay turned for next week, when we'll be headed to L.A. for a reboot of Point Break!

Oops! Accidentally uploaded the episode at 1.5x speed 😅 the normal speed file has been uploaded and you can re-download the new version in a few minutes for better listening. Sorry!
What happens when Alfred Hitchcock directs someone else's screwball comedy script adapted from a psychological thriller? A kind of proto-Knives Out that Lindsay thinks could be finessed into something a little more coherent, but no less fun. Listen to our episode on The Lady Vanishes, out now!

The Lady Vanishes seems like a real outlier among the rest of Albert Hitchcock's works - maybe because he didn't write the story, or the script, and only fulfilled it out of contractual obligation. Bu...

In case you missed it, last week we rebooted the obscure middle-grade series MINDWARP! Sorry for the late reminder, it's because of the time paradox.

Coming Monday, should everything go to plan, we'll be back with a new episode on THE LADY VANISHES.
Halloween continues as Tanner delves into a story about a kid disappearing mysteriously in the 90s. Was it the work of UFOs? You'll never know, because the Mindwarp books didn't make that big an impact. Still, there's plenty of fun parts inside that Tanner can use to pitch a tv show. Listen now!
256: Tanner's the Only One Who Read Mindwarp | Not If I Reboot You First!
Animorphs was so great that some people definitely tried to make their own in the 90s, and one of those attempts was Mindwarp! It didn't succeed nearly as well, but Tanner thinks it's worth revisiting...

In case you missed it, last week Lindsay rearranged the Terminator timeline into something so complex it took both of us to untangle it - but at least it had an optimistic ending?

Coming soon, Tanner will reboot the Mindwarp books by Chris Archer. Never heard of them? You're not alone...
