4.11: Beast Island

So this one time in the 80's, a fantasy hero child and his white horse bff went on an epic quest that took them to a landscape that was the literal embodiment of depression and hopelessness; and then that landscape of depression SWALLOWED THE HORSE WHOLE IN FRONT OF HIS LITTLE KID BFF'S EYES, leaving a generation of kids wicked traumatized.

Now it's time for ANOTHER white horse (pegicorn, ok) to visit ANOTHER landscape of depression and hopelessness with his human hero bff... but this time, they won't be alone! Because if there's one thing we know as queer folks, it's that the way to survive all the Swamps of Sadness, in this or any world, is through the power of COMMUNIITY.

Hold on to each other, queerlings. We're damn well gonna win in the end!

4.10: Fractures

With the magical nukes at the heart of Etheria looming, friendships and people we love begin to...fracture. Guts are wrenched. BFFs torn asunder. But at least we finally get the wholesomely gay meetcute of Perfuma and Scorpia, who are the best and the winners of every gayest moment forever!

MAJOR REVELATIONS WILL MESSILY EXPLODE HERE...so buckle your seatbelts, darling rebels, because it's gonna be a bumpy ride through that colorful yet terrifying planet-sized portal!

What do Star Trek Discovery, Motherland Fort Salem, and The Last Of Us all have in common with this week's She-ra ep? FREAKY MAGICAL SPORES, BABY! Across the Whispering Woods, a freak acid spore cloud has trapped some of our favorite side characters in unfavorable and dangerous situations. Will the Powerhouse Polycule get the fun snow day they deserve? Will Adora get answers from emergency reboot Light Hope before her OS reloads, and she remembers that she had no intention of answering those questions? Will Etheria succumb to acid-based climate change before any of this even matters?!?? LET'S FIND OUT TOGETHER.

4.03: Flutterina

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the sparkliest fangirl of them all?!? IT'S FLUTTERINA.

 

Whilst our dear Flutterina is busy laying it on SUUUUPER thick with the rebellion, Bow and Adora (and SWIFT WIND!) are busy taking in the most amazeballs victory party they've ever seen...and it's all for them! But it definitely WON'T be a distraction from any sinister machinations of one Catra Meow Meow Applesauce. Because, as Adora will be the first to remind you, "this is my JOB, and I'm actually VERY good at it. Just ENJOY the party!" WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.

 

NOTE: at around 37:42, Jenny accidentally misgenders Double Trouble as "he." We didn't catch it during the recording, probably because it was such a small slip (she correctly calls DT "they" for the rest of the ep). We apologize for this slip-up! Obviously we would never misgender anyone intentionally.

4.02: The Valley of the Lost

Perfuma and Huntara flirt their way across the desert in pursuit of Mara's ship, and there is SO MUCH gay screaming. (Bow and Adora are there too lol). Glimmer WANTS to be there like soooooo freakin bad, but the Queen must stay in the castle and attend to the adulting parts of Queendom (SO MANY MEETINGS). Meanwhile, the Horde is also after Mara's ship...and we meet a new friend who we love truly, madly & deeply even though they are not entirely unproblematic!

4.01: The Coronation

It's SEASON 4 and nothing will ever be like it was, ever again. Lines have been crossed, loved ones have been lost. In Bright Moon, Glimmer must step up and accept her mantle as Queen even as she mourns the loss of her mother, Queen Angella; while in the Fright Zone, Catra must fight the evil forces of Hordak's emo man-baby pity-party to keep both her life and her power. Mourning is messy but it's all part of winning in the end.

0.06: Race in SPOP Part 3

It's the third installment of our now-traditional post-season Race in SPOP discussion! Now BIGGER and BETTER than ever, with 100% more guests!!! Topics include colonization in Etheria, puritanical fan culture, representations of Blackness in villainy, the deep importance of diversity in the writers room, and SO MUCH MORE.

 

Princess Alba Daza is an emerging Latinx writer, director & consultant based in Montreal, Canada. Alba has been working in the film industry for 10 years. In addition to her work in film, Alba was a producer on the popular podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer, and has consulted on anti-racism in the film and education sectors. Her art focuses on telling & celebrating the stories of marginalized voices, giving them space to breathe and thrive. Through her work, she is decolonizing popular culture and slaying white supremacy!

 

Head Sorceress Shawn Harris (who we welcome back!) is an author, educator and huge nerd from Richmond, Virginia. As the mind behind Project Tzimtzum, she creates and runs learning activities that connect curious seekers with Judaism and each other through imagination and play. When she's not coming up with fun new ways to engage people in Jewish text and tradition, Shawn is a huge fan of fantasy, horror and SciFi, and channels her love of these genres through theater and role playing games. Her debut poetry collection, "The Red Door," is a dark fantasy that combines Jewish folklore & mysticism with queer romance. It's currently available on Ben Yehuda Press.

2.02: TiesThat Bind

Content Warning: This episode contains academic discussion of BDSM (primarily bondage, as a sexual and/or pleasure kink) starting at 44:53 and ending around 52:30. The discussion is not graphic and refers primarily to power dynamics. 

WOW do we have a lot of gayness to go around in this ep named after bondage. Catra enjoys unleashing her bratty bottom skills on woefully unprepared captors Bow & Glimmer; She-ra learns to embrace the fun side of her sacred duties courtesy of a certain Socialist revolutionary pegicorn; and we delve into the early stages of Robot Existentialism on Etheria. Also SCORPIA!

1.11: Promise

CW: Discussion surrounding child abuse timestamps: 1:03:15-1:16:45

 

What are the odds that Catra and Adora would find their way to the SAME hidden First Ones Citadel?! Crazy, right? Now that they're here, they must take a German Expressionist style journey through their shared subconscious, and confront that deep, deep pit of shared trauma (and also giant robot spiders). It's a heavy Catradora ep, folks-- please proceed calmly to your nearest friendly lesbian therapist, and get ready for some good old fashioned queer processing!

1.10: The Beacon

Sure, Entrapta’s gone, the Princess Alliance is disbanded, and Glimmer keeps glitching - but it’s fine! It’s fine! Everything’s fine. Ok, maybe not everything, but at least we have everyone’s favorite gym teacher Scorpia keeping spirits up. 

 Join Meff and guest host Producer Ashley as they share their own stories of teenage delinquency, empathize way too much with the adult in the room, and appreciate a good hustle.
