It's ROUGH to run out of gas in Death Valley! Or, if you're in a sci-fi genre show, a hauntingly desolate "crystal planet" that appears suspiciously devoid of crystals. But FEAR NOT, newly reunited best pals of ours! There are some hot queer sibs just around the corner who would probably love to team up, if you can get your messy lesbian drama together, Adora, & just do your thing! AND if Bow & Glimmer can have five freaking minutes of peace to talk about their feelings & healthy boundaries?? AAGGHH CRYSTALS!!!
(...Also, that's ice. That's Swifty being the sound of ice).

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

EVIL ZOMBIE ROBOTS! OH NOES! Time to meet our favorite geek princess with prehensile hair, a penchant for tiny food, and lots of robot friends-- it's ENTRAPTA of course! Major shout-out for neurodiversity representation in animation (You best believe that drunk Adora can't say that three times fast). To celebrate Entrapta, we have not one, but TWO guests for your ears: Stephanie Burt, professor of English literature at Harvard University; plus a hot hot interview segment with disability advocate and hilarious human Mishy Kats! *Full interview will air separately--stay tuned!
*Alcohol/Substance Use chat starts at 59 minutes and ends at 1:05.*
