Are you ready to be gun-punched in the face by sheer ShamFiction gold?! Of course, you are! This week, Eric comes out of a two-week retirement to shoot his way into legend like the hitman hero of this week’s property, John Wick! And by “shoot,” we mean “write.” And by “write,” we mean “sham-write” because it’s different. The body count will be high, as will the amount of profanity. Leave the kids at home. Kennel the dog, too. Trust us, and enjoy!
Bonus: ShamComs Wrap-Up
In this special episode, we sit down with our amazing performers from the last three weeks (Rachel Palashewski, Joe Rapp, Katie Vannelli, and Allen Voigt) to get their feedback on our ShamCom trilogy! After this, you might just begin to understand why we love them all so much. No new fiction in this one, but that's why it's a bonus episode! Yay free content!

18: Marcus writes Friends
We've reached the final installment of the epic ShamCom trilogy! Don't be too sad, because we've saved the best for last (in Andrew's correct opinion)! It's Friends! (Clap, clap, clap, clap!) Marcus is writing and our brilliant cast returns to bring his words to life! It'll feel like you're back in 1994, wearing your baggiest shirt and pleated pants, and sipping on an enormous latte in Central Perk! But then you open your eyes and realize it's all a sham!

17: Andrew writes Frasier
It's week two of our tribute to sitcoms, and what better way to celebrate than with Seattle's number one radio-psychologist, Frasier Crane?! Once again, we have four lovely and talented actors to perform Andrew's attempt to capture the culture, the sophistication, and the utter refinement that is NBC's long-running fan-favorite, Frasier.

But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs...
16: Eric writes The Big Bang Theory
It's the first of our ShamCom Trilogy! In this special episode, Eric writes an episode of The Big Bang Theory, and a full cast of our favorite actors perform it live! Will there be nerdy references? Of course! Will there be unintelligable dialogue? Most definitely? A theme song? You'll have to listen to find out...

15: Marcus writes The Thing
Bundle up in your warmest parka, strap on your favorite flamethrower, and keep an eye on Clark, because Marcus is using his noodley-wigglers to assimilate John Carpenter's 1982 horror classic, The Thing. Who knows, it might just make you question everything you thought you knew about Kurt Russell.
14: Andrew writes Steelheart
Andrew has heard about someone who has seen Steelheart bleed, and he intends to write about that guy-- or whatever-- seeing Steelheart bleed again, probably. Join us in Newcago for our first ShamFiction based on the work of Two Jackets' favorite, Brandon Sanderson!
13: Eric writes Magic Mike XXL
Does Eric have what it takes to move and groove with the hunky heroes and debonaire dudes of everyone's favorite cross-country male-stripping team, the Kings of Tampa? More, importantly, will there be dong? Find out with this fresh new jam called Magic Mike XXL.
Just The Fics Volume One
In this special bonus episode of ShamFiction, we've compiled "Just the Fics" from our first twelve episodes and put them into one mega-episode for your listening enjoyment! It's a Shamthology of hastily written short stories from Eric, Andrew, and Marcus!
12: Marcus writes Howl's Moving Castle
Don't step out into the Wastes without your good hat, a sentient scarecrow companion, or some sort of hairy child-apprentice, because there are witches and wizards out there (and boy do their curses stick!). This week, Marcus relieves some pressure in his steam-powered take on Howl's Moving Castle.
As promised, here's Crumbly!
America's favorite crumb-monster!
11: Andrew writes Ms. Marvel
She can shape-shift! She can stretch! She can learn to accept herself, even when she's being written by an infidel named Andrew! In this, our first episode about a comic book, we explore Kamala Khan's alter-ego, Ms. Marvel! Excelsior!
10: Eric writes The X-Files
Forget Area 51, Roswell, or our secret reptilian overlords, the real conspiracy this week is how Eric went 20+ years without seeing a single episode of The X-Files. At least that gives us an excuse to join Special Agents Mulder and Scully, the FBI’s most spooky, for an investigation into the unexplained and paranormal.

9: Marcus writes Downton Abbey
Put on your finest formal wear and worst British accents, and prepare for a lovely visit to Downton Abbey. A place where marrying your cousins is encouraged (as long as they're named Matthew) and the Titanic isn't just a movie starring Leo and Kate. Marcus maneuvers the dining room politics of America's favorite British show in his unrefined take on Downton Abbey.
8: Andrew writes Deadpool
If a motion picture adaptation of Marvel's Deadpool can break box-office records, then a ShamFiction adaptation of that adaptation oughta break podcast records, right?! This week, Andrew bumps uglies with the ugliest ugly-bumper ever to be portrayed by Ryan Reynolds!
7: Eric writes The Graveyard Book
Neil Gaiman is one of the greatest writers and storytellers of our time. Eric has a beard. What happens when we combine the two? We get a new take on Nobody Owens' adventures in The Graveyard book! Grab some tea and settle in for a charming sham-tale of witches and friendship.
6: Marcus writes Fifty Shades of Grey
Pour yourself a nice glass of red, put on your favorite grey silk tie, and strap yourself in (with implements found at your local hardware store, preferably) for a voyeuristic peek into the seedy underbelly of Grey House in Marcus' twisted vision of the motion picture adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.
5: Andrew writes The Name of the Wind
He has stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. He has burned down the town of Trebon. He has spent the night with Felurian and left with both his sanity and his life. This week, Andrew will add "earned his pipes with an Edema-Ruh-worthy take on Pat Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind" to his list of accomplishments.
4: Eric writes Arrow
He needs to clean up this city. He needs to cross a name off his list. He needs to turn on the freakin' TV once in a while and see what all the hype is about! This week, Eric fails this city as he dons the Hood, flexes his caterpillar-abs, and takes a shot at The CW's hit superhero murder-adventure show Arrow.

3: Marcus writes The Big Lebowski
Sometimes there's a man who fits right in there. Sometimes there's a man who is the man of his time and place. Sometimes there's a man who has managed to avoid seeing The Big Lebowski for 18 gosh-dern years. In this episode, Marcus pops in a Creedence tape, mixes up a caucasian, and dives straight into the foggy mind of The Dude himself.

2: Andrew writes Star Trek: The Next Generation
Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the ShamFic Enterprise. Andrew's ongoing mission: to explore what a beaming chamber is, to seek out the secrets to Captain Picard's lovelorn past, to boldly go where he's never gone before: the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation! In this installment, Andrew sets his phasers to stun and his tea to Earl Grey, hot as he attempts to solve the mystery of Farpoint Station!
