Episode 48: Lime Flavored Mind Control

Sat, 24 Jul 2021 17:49:42 -0000

Before you can reach the end you must go back to the beginning. This week we take a look at S5E10 'Return to the Fright Zone'. Perfuma struggles to hold onto her ideals while being forced to face down a dear friend, Netossa pinpoints everyone's weakness in the hopes of getting her wife back, and Catra has a very bad, wet time. Meanwhile, Bow and Glimmer have some EXTREME LORE REVALATIONS while looking for Bow's dads. In the spoiler zone, we go in deep on Horde Prime's chips, their use as metaphor, and discuss how delicious lime dusted tortilla chips are (very).

Additionally, we finally announce our next project! Stay tuned for more information!

Episode 49: We Told You About Those Wizards.

Sat, 07 Aug 2021 21:10:52 -0000

I hope you like ominous flaming hallways of destiny because those dang wizards are at it again. We're in the penultimate episode of the show, S5E11 'Failsafe', in which shadow Weaver is back in peak form, Glimmer gets to formally re-meet her dad, Catra makes a very serious decision, and Adora fully accepts her destiny. The question remains, though: should she?

Bonus Episode 2: Don’t Go Minisode

Sat, 19 Mar 2022 00:20:43 -0000

Another file from the lost episodes folder, here's the minisode we recorded a while ago on a few bits and pieces of apocryphal canon surrounding Save the Cat, including (most notably) Noelle's... creator fiction? Deleted scenes? Can't really call it fanfic when the showrunner is writing it now can you. Either way, boy it's good, and we get right down into the weeds of it here for about a solid hour, along with a few other assorted goodies. Enjoy! If you need a link to that fic, by the way, it's called Don't Go (linked here).

It's certainly been a while since you heard from us, hasn't it? Well don't worry, we're back from our long hiatus with some big plans! Patreon overhauls, Radio Free Hydaelyn news, and a brand new show that might appeal to our Podcast of Power fans. So keep an eye out for future updates as we begin our new phase of content.

Talk Cycles Episode 1: Cracked Egg

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 01:40:27 -0000

Welcome, dear listeners, to the inaugural episode of Talk Cycles! A spiritual successor to our time in the Podcast of Power, where we take a monthly meander through contemporary animation. This week, we find ourselves once again navigating the labyrinthine Infinity Train in Book 2: Cracked Reflection.

Hop on board with us as we discuss the narrative of a teenage metallic being/trans allegory with complicated baggage surrounding her name, Jenny Wak- I mean, MT, as she rides the rocky rails of friendship, identity, and pet ownership (with that last one being more complicated than you might think, considering the abilities of our newfound friend Alan Dracula).

Bonus Episode 4: Nimona (2023)

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 19:41:54 -0000

After a long, uncertain production and the shuttering of its original studio, the animated adaptation of ND Stevenson's beloved comic finally hit Netflix on June 30th. So of course, we had to watch it and record our thoughts on it! We talk through its decisions as an adaptation, the gorgeous animation, the cast, and more, and come to a conclusion that might be a bit surprising...
