They’ve posted a preview for Steven’s Dream to their YouTube channel for your enjoyment, perfectly designed to pique your interest without spoiling the episode.

Don’t forget to watch the Out of This World bomb from January 30 – February 2

They’ll be airing each night at 7:00 PM EST, so you can plan accordingly. 🙂

Be sure to join in the excitement with all of your fellow fans: Cartoon Network is getting everyone hyped for this, and hyped is what we really are.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 123: Kiki’s Pizza Delivery Service

GC13 and Sophia discuss the best episode of Steven Universe named after a Studio Ghibli film: Kiki’s Pizza Delivery Service.

How many pizzas can you carry with one arm? Can you beat Kiki’s displayed strength, all while running fast enough to deliver warm pizzas to the hungry citizens of Beach City? (If so, Mayor Dewey is probably hiring interns.) Jenny may have broken the delivery car, but apparently Kiki doesn’t need it.

Stand up for yourself: it’s not being mean to not let others take advantage of you. Being nice and helpful is one thing, but you won’t always have Steven around to help you fight your inner cheese demons.

Looking back at Kiki’s Pizza Delivery Service

Two forks, it’s fancy.

We go right from pizza bagels to delivering mountains of full-sized pizzas (Kiki may be a runner, but her arms are apparently in great shape too if she’s carrying all of those pizzas around town!). What a time to be alive!

Don’t let anyone say that Steven doesn’t value others’ privacy: he was pretty clearly distraught and apologetic when he found out that he had been in Kiki’s dream, showing that he still remembers what he learned back in The New Lars. (Not that Kiki’s holding it against him mind you, since having a dream warrior for a friend can be pretty handy whether or not you’re being stalked by a magical serial killer.)

It’s nice to see a show being up front with its moral (you have to make time for yourself too) without being too preachy about it (a problem lots of older programs had). It’s also nice to see the show referencing more anime (Evangelion gets the honor again this time).

Well, that’s it for today: there’s an awesome cheese rave at the pizza cave we need to get to. 🙂

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 122: Restaurant Wars

GC13 discusses a particularly humorous episode of the Steven Nuke: Restaurant Wars.

It may not have involved literal armed warfare between the two restaurants in question, but no one can deny that both mobilized some serious effort to dramatically drum up business (even the fry stand was doing deliveries, which says a lot about how crazy things must have been).

Plus Kofi went totally crazy and tried to brand Steven.

Let us all just take a moment of silence now to remember how close we came to losing the budding romance between Ronaldo and Jane. Never forget how fragile love can be.

Looking back at Restaurant Wars

Alright, it’s time for another real talk: Kofi is great. Fryman is great. But they were both completely out of their minds in this episode. Let’s ignore Kofi trying to brand Steven (as in burn a VIP membership into his skin) and just look at how eager they were for war: Kofi has been sitting with a sign right by the door, and Fryman didn’t even pretend like he wanted to negotiate. Perhaps they both just needed to spill a bit of the tomato-based sauce of their preference…

This was the episode that surely made countless fans hunger for fried mozzarella sticks (which turn out to be as delicious as they sound, by the way). It also get bonus points for Kofi referencing an old Bagel Bites commercial.

Still, seeing Ronaldo’s heart broken like that was tough.

As sad as Ronaldo’s tale is in Restaurant Wars, however, at least it has a happy ending, .

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 121: #StevenBomb 5 (Early Release)

GC13, Dakota, and Hunter are very happy to present an episode about the fifth StevenBomb, and only a month early! (Thanks Cartoon Network!)

It’s too hard to give a summary of the podcast for those who still haven’t watched the episodes yet, so here’s a spoiler-free recap:

Could we be Ronaldo? Is it possible?

Circles and ovals, squares and hexagons.

What are Gemlins?

Butter was built, then you were built for butter.
