510 Time Travel Ask Us Anything part A

What hiatus? As Pru will tell you this week, time is a flat circle. Don't worry about it. This week we talk about fanfiction vs fanart again, the Bruno & Boots movie, briefly touch on PKane, Jurassic World, and Dark Matter before getting into the first half of an Ask Us Anything episode.

This episode we also talk about Slash the card game, which you can check out here.

It's been awhile since we've come down so starkly on different sides of an issue but here it is: this week we talk about Kingsman, which Pru loved and MK despised. But before that, we're going to talk about Rizzoli & Isles, Community, and the X-Files before answering a few questions and giving you some hot recs.

People, brace yourselves, because this week we dive into the dazzling, dizzying world of FOX's mega hit Empire. Pru is joined by Zara (Amazonziti), Merelyn and Tiffany to drink wine out of plastic goblets in the shape of skulls and scream loudly about the two-hour season finale of the freshman series staring Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. We talk furs, crazy plots, gay sons, eluding death, and how this show has proven so magnificently addictive.

This week, we talk about the sad news of Leonard Nimoy's passing, the crazy news of Mentalist's series finale, and the leopard print banana milkshake news of the greatest new show on television, Empire.

506 Jupiter Ascending

505 Naruto

Wow, guys, it’s another first time, because this week Pru and MK are joined by not only The Hoyden, but also by MK’s friend Paul, the first dude we’ve ever had on the podcast. We open with a quick discussion of Sailor Moon Crystal, Mythbusters, Fresh Off the Boat, and the Legend of Zelda Netflix show (confirmed after recording). For our longer discussion this week, we dip into one of the worst fandoms that all of us share: Naruto. Tune in to learn about why Naruto is the worst, how Kishimoto gave us all blue balls, and then listen to us struggle to figure out why Kakashi is so great. (Because he is. He is SO great.) It’s a dark day for fandom, so you might as well join us as we fail at everything.

Note: there is some construction noise in the background of this episode because fucking Toronto, of course there is. Sorry about that.
