GC13 and David discuss Hall of Mooms from Summer Camp Island.

This episode told us so much, but it was great seeing all of the witches in Hedgehog’s ancestry (and one very mysterious ancestor you may or may not have seen!). It even told us that, at one time, there were witch hunters!

Still, Summer Camp Island isn’t the kind of show to put our characters into mortal danger from witch hunters. It will be interesting if they even come up at all in the future—as will plenty of Hedgehog’s mooms!

You Should Watch The Ghost and Molly McGee

Do you like laughing? Do you enjoy having a good time? Then you should watch The Ghost and Molly McGee, end of video.

Created by two long-time industry veterans and featuring an all-star voice cast (Ashly Burch, Dana Snyder, and Michela Dietz!), The Ghost and Molly McGee comes together very well, and is still premiering new episodes on the Disney Channel and still coming to Disney+.

GC13 and David discuss I’m Mitch Williams from Glitch Techs.

And now you know why Mitch is the sweetest. It turns out that the true meaning of friendship was the teammates we recruited along the way. And Tech Specialist. Don’t forget him.

It’s the end to Mitch’s season two character arc, but we still have one episode to go so the season (and unfortunately it looks like the series as well) can end on a cliffhanger.

Feared or Loved: Two Ways to Lead a Team in Kid Cosmic

  • October 23, 2021

Kid Cosmic’s second season focuses on Flo’s development as a leader, with two teachers vying for her ear: Queen Xhan, and her mother Flo. Xhan preaches ruthlessness and force, while Flo counsels compassion and understanding.

And, since Kid Cosmic isn’t a cynical show, it’s clear who’s going to win. Never bet against a mother, especially when the fate of the galaxy is on the line—Kid Cosmic won’t let her down.

GC13 and David discuss Hark the Gerald Sings from Summer Camp Island.

We may have lost fairies from Summer Camp Island’s pantheon of magical creatures this season, but we’ve been given a new one: superstitions! Betsy gets her chance to shine by revealing to us Gerald, the unpleasant mirror life holds up to Oscar.

Just make sure this episode doesn’t make you remember Summer Camp Island episodes that never happened. That’s been going around lately…

Not-So-Sweetypies: The Three Worst Sweetypies in Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart

  • October 16, 2021

The Sweetypies in Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart are all… Well, sweet. They have hearts in their design, and everything! Sweet isn’t all they can be: these little monsters can be quite sour.

Three of them stick out as being the worst Sweetypies in all of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Let’s see who the guilty parties are!

GC13 and David discuss Settling the Score from Glitch Techs.

Brad Breeck’s music is mighty, and this episode is a pleasure to watch just for “Rock ’em, Sock ’em” and “Kaiju Baby” alone. But this episode has more than just music: it has heart.

Miko’s backstory, previously established in Ralphie Bear is Back, comes back into play as we meet the impressive Mike Simms, a kid who just like Phil manages to make friends wherever he goes. First Ridley, and now Miko: he’s a popular guy.

GC13 and David discuss He’s Just Not Here Right Now from Summer Camp Island.

This is the debut (maybe?) of the Jersey Devil, a very good hider who serves as the boogeyman of the pine barrens and an eater of sandwiches. It’s also a flashback to Oscar and Hedgehog in their younger days, back when Oscar was a sack of potatoes. (Yeah, maybe not the best nickname…)

Thankfully conservation wins out over development and the Jersey Devil will continue to have some barrens to haunt. Just… Don’t ask about Susie’s old spa…

Democracy of the Creek: What Craig of the Creek and the Council of the Creek Say About Institutions

  • October 2, 2021

When Craig of the Creek started there was no greater structure to our side of the creek, just a bunch of groups with their own rules and leaders. After Craig created the Council of the Creek though, things changed, and the creek found itself with a way to organize its groups.

The Council of the Creek is a political institution, just like the Other Side’s kingship, and Craig of the Creek has warnings for both fans of democracy and autocracy about the slip from good governance into tyranny.

Though, let’s be honest: if you think about it, a lot of this is really Bobby’s fault. Craig of the Creek may have done a lot more with him in season three, but he still remains the whipping boy.
