Episode 39: This Man's Eating Shellder
Saturday Apr 17, 2021
Saturday Apr 17, 2021
We're finally here everyone, it's time to dig into season 5 starting with a very strong introduction with S5E1, Horde Prime. The man himself appears with all the power and horror that he and his infinite supply of Mountain Dew can muster as he imposes his dominating will upon the rest of the cast. The rebellion is on the run, Adora takes a pretty big step forward in her path toward self-actualization, and Glimmer and Catra enjoy a very tense dinner. Try the cubes, I've heard they're to die for.

Episode 40: Disappointment Lunch
Saturday Apr 24, 2021
Saturday Apr 24, 2021
Well, Season 5 can't be all bangers, I suppose. We're tackling the... controversial S5E2 Launch, wherein we get some good Adora development, a very nice quiet moment aboard the Velvet Glove, and... well. Let's not beat around the bush, some genuinely kind of insulting content with Entrapta and her "funny" adventure to one of Mr. Prime's spires. Not a lot of questions this week, but we Do get a book report assignment, and I think that ends up going pretty well!

[Content Warning: Discussions of Religious Trauma]
So! S5E3 Corridors, huh? It's quite the heavy episode. We go through it with Catra and Glimmer aboard the Velvet Glove, the Best Friend Squad experiences the last 15 minutes of hit Matt Damon comedy The Martian, and our girl finally makes one single good decision in her whole life. We really get into it with Horde Prime and his character background, and discuss the connections to Noelle Stevenson's illustrated memoir, The Fire Never Goes Out. Listen as we try not to cry while talking about it! It's a real hoot!

Episode 42: Entrapta F#&*$ A Spaceship
Monday May 10, 2021
Monday May 10, 2021
The title really says it all on this one, I feel. We've crash landed into S5E4 'Stranded', in which the gang forgets the cardinal rule of road trips: always fill up on gas before you leave. Luckily they run into some funny guys and their pet bird, and everyone learns a valuable lesson about the dangers of unstable tectonic zones. Also, She-Ra might be back? Who's to say (Swift Wind's to say, and she is (sort of)).

It's time everyone. We're gonna go save that cat. It's S5E5, and our girl is in some truly dire straits as Adora and the gang race off to rescue her from Prime's clutches. We get a funny new Hordak, Glimmer has a new comfy space suit, and Catra and Adora have... some scenes. A lot of scenes, in fact. Do you like angst? Do you like extremely charged and intimate fight scenes? We sure do.
Also, as we covered in the lead-in to this episode, please if you're able to we would extremely encourage you to help out the people of Palestine. They need our support more than ever.

Welcome back everybody! It's time to talk about S5E6, 'Taking Control', in which we have the cavalcade of Entrapta Faces, Catra truly going through it, an extremely normal rebel town don't worry about it, and She-Ra who... uh... um... sorry what was I saying I got. Distracted. The girl is uh. Big.

Episode 45: The Theatre Has Many Secrets
Saturday Jun 19, 2021
Saturday Jun 19, 2021
This week we're hiding before your very eyes in S5E7, 'The Perils of Peekablue', in which we (mostly) take a break from the intergalactic escapades of the Best Friend Squad to go sleuthing around in the seedy underbelly of the sea with the side cast. Mermista and Sea Hawk pull way too much aggro, Perfuma gets a little too into character, and Scorpia serenades the sea scoundrels in this classy underwater party adventure. It's a black tie affair, so make sure you dress accordingly.

It's S5E9, 'An Ill Wind', and we're in for a mission fit for only the finest of Far Cry sequels. We're saving mushrooms, we're fighting a juiced-up Spinnerella, we're capturing control points, and our good friend Catra gets to meet the rest of the team! It goes... well it certainly goes, is the thing. They're all working on it.

Episode 46: Lost Planet, Lost Episode
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021

Does it count as a lost episode when the reason it was lost was mostly just being dumb? Either way, here's ours for this series, taking a look at the appropriately equally lost planet of Krytis in S5E8 'Shot in the Dark', in which Catra gets her chops busted, Wrong Hordak is radicalized, and Entrapta makes our newest team member the world's cutest spacesuit (complete with little kitty cat ears). Maybe bring a map though, I've heard its easy to get lost yourself down here.
