Ken, GC13, and Sophia are joined by online columnist Eric Thurm (who you most likely know from his AV Club reviews of Steven Universe episodes).

Of course everyone has to talk about their favorite songs. Yes, it’s always a tough question (so many to choose from!), but you get your answers. 🙂

Eric’s article in Pitchfork is brought up, and it covers Ms. Sugar’s use of music in her cartoons. No one can deny that Steven Universe is a very musical show, and with her recent guest appearance on Adventure Time (the show she was on previously) producing another excellent song she wrote… well, the article has a link to Ms. Sugar singing the demo, so go listen to it.

Does the Jam Buddies song always make you think of the Little Butler theme?

GC13, Sophia, and Hunter discuss the various online shorts for Steven Universe: the extended theme, the three Classroom Gems shorts (What Are Gems, How Are Gems Made, and Fusion), the Hot Dog Duffel Bag unboxing video, and Lion!

Which short was your favorite? How informative do you find the Classroom Gems to be? Can you answer any of the questions we can’t?

GC13, Sophia, and Hunter come back strong with an episode about the eight issues of the Steven Universe comic series, plus the Greg Universe special.

While the comic series is definitely different than the show, the comics are fun to read. Plus, they are canon until the show contradicts them, which has so far only happened with regard to the existence of Halloween—and even that was only contradicted on Twitter by Mr. Burnett.

The short comics included in each issue are also fantastic, with far too many to be able to shout of all of the beloved ones (still, no one ever said “no” to some extra Opal, least of all Steven).

All in all, color us happy to be getting a graphic novel and a new mini-series soon!

Ken tries to save the day while GC13, Sophia, and Hunter talk about just about anything but Rose’s Room.

There’s not even much to summarize about this episode. It just… Is. Talk to us on our Tumblr account.
