We wanted to dish on our favorite toxic people in fandom – these are characters on TV and in movies that we over time come to love and hold up as #goals but in reality they’re pretty not great people. Shows like The Office, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Boys, Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Monk have beloved characters with some seriously toxic personality flaws. We also throw in a sleeper you won’t see coming.  We each do out top 5 worst men and women – maybe we trash your favorite. Feel free to @ us.

We also discuss some upcoming tv and movies we don’t want you yo miss: S3 of Prime Video’s THE BOYS (Penda has seen the entire series already)Season 4 of Justic League and Season 1 of both Obi-wan and Ms Marve. Also a brief review of Jurassic World: Dominion

Kat and Penda slowly recover from their chocolate comas to snark about reboots – so. many. reboots. - why Netflix might just be the streaming G.O.A.T and hey, I remembered to actually add a link in the show notes about all of the Supermen in one awesome club:

Brief sound drop from Local Forecast - Elevator by ℗ Kevin MacLeod

Kat and Penda talk IN DEPTH about the MCU’s Phase IV arc of Grief. From Avengers End Game, through the real-life death of Chadwick Boseman, Marvel has allowed it’s characters to really dive into the loss of loved ones and colleagues with shows like Wandavision and Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. We talk about how that allows the fans to grieve and what it means for Phase V.

We also might be a little inebriated on red wine and grapefruit vodka. Holla!

Just a single topic today, but we had a lot to say about it.  While we're fans of the Hogwarts experience, we have THOUGHTS about how the school really doesn't prepare anyone - like anyone - for life outside of the school. And where do they get those instructors?

In case you haven’t heard HBO’s Lovecraft Country will not be manifesting a Season2 which is a total bummer, so this week, we’re discussing I thought I’d remind folks of Black sci-fi tv shows and series you may have missed, and some you may want to champion as they move into potential options for visual media.

Then week we’re discussing what we would consider our personal Mount Rushmore of Anime. Finally New News and something new - what are we wearing Thanks to Blerd.com for helping Penda compile Black Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror!

Shoutout to our sole listener in Germany. Herzlich willkommen by uns and danke schoen! (Google Translate wouldn't steer us wrong, right?

While we often don’t like to yuck other people’s yum, we’re going to discuss a topic that will likely anger our 4 listeners, even in Germany, but we wouldn’t be our authentic selves if we didn't bring it up. We’re going to discuss some of the problematic aspects of the Caped Crusader and maybe with some tears and a little togetherness, we can find a way to come together over this difficult topic. Kat gets her geek on with Drizzt Do'urden of the Forgotten Realms, Penda discusses Crunchy Roll vs Funimation (as if there’s a choice anymore). Then it’s on to New News with nerve damage and Hulu and the Streamers.

We're back (we had life to deal with)!  

YA isn't just for kids anymore. We're avid readers and our eyeballs tend to wander, so we wanted to highlight some YA books and series that we enjoyed, kinda.

There's also the continuing saga of Hulu and the Streamers, a minor Spiral: From the Book of Saw review, and Penda talks about a Presentation she's doing for the Folklore Podcast.
