415 How to Train Your Dragon 2


Get out your rain stick and shake it like a polaroid picture, because apparently that business controls Alpha Dragons. We set aside a whole hour this week to talk about how much we absolutely hated How To Train Your Dragon 2, how it goes completely against the first (amazing!) movie, and why you should absolutely not pay legal tender to see this movie. Spoilers ahoy, dragon pirates. We've got a lot of feelings about this one.

414 Supernatural Season Nine

Sharpen your angel blades and make sure you've located the most torturously painful spot on your body for us to give you the Mark of Cain, because Pru and Waldorph spent a long weekend destroying lobster and watching season nine of Supernatural like fucking champions. We talk the agonizing ambivalence we felt for the majority of the season, the crushing horror of realizing just as we thought we were getting out, they reel us back in. We speculate on what we want out of the next season, the likelihood any of it will happen (lol) and whether or not everybody will die again. Some more. Profound spoilers, like certain bonds, for all of Supernatural season nine. You should follow us on Twitter.

413 Sailor Moon with Lianne Sentar



Get ready for a moon escalation, because Pru left MK alone with Lianne Sentar of Sparkler Monthly this week, and the only thing on their minds was Sailor Moon. We talk about the manga, the anime, the new anime, and the live action drama all in the context of the female gaze, matriarchies, and gender and sexual queerness. If you thought transporting yourself back in time to the Moon Kingdom was hard just wait until you hear about our dumb struggles against the limitations of the 90s and early 00s. Whether you're already a Sailor Moon fan or if you're looking to pick up the new series, this episode has a lot of feelings for you.

412 X-Men: Days of Future Past


It's time to get high on nasal decongestants and serums that fuck with your DNA, because Hoyden and Pru have congregated this very special week to talk about the latest, the probably not greatest, X-Men: Days of Futures Past. We discuss how the hell this movie managed to keep so many different threads clear, and whether or not the character arcs for our trio of leads worked, and if this movie course corrected on some of the more annoying paternalism from the first. Also, Wolverine's butt. So if you're ready for a spoiler heavy podcast with national treasure Hoyden tripping balls on cold medicine and holding up admirably the entire time, this is your time.

You should follow us on Twitter for even more inanity during the week.
