GC13 and David discuss Contagi-Anne and Family Shrub from Amphibia.

And so on our four hundredth episode we return to Frog Show, with Emma Plantar and Polliana: the turnt-up warrior. Truly the Plantar family shrub is impressive. As was the no-twist twist in Contagi-Anne.

We should all hope we have such amazing family lairs hidden in our own secret basements—and that whoever is responsible for scrubbing the pots doesn’t use the same sponge they use for cleaning the bathroom floor.

Cartoon Network April 2022 Ratings Report

  • May 7, 2022

April should have been a quiet month for Cartoon Network, with only two shows premiering new episodes, but it wasn’t. No, while Cartoon Network did air Looney Tunes Cartoons and Craig of the Creek, giving us ratings for both, they also aired the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Special, and two things for Sesame Street of all the franchises out there.

But that wasn’t it: Cartoons Network had a bit of an oops, so we’ve got another peek behind the curtain—Nielsen ratings for Craig of the Creek re-runs!

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Adventures in the Elements from The Owl House.

There’s just something about snowy episodes, isn’t there? Maybe it’s just that there’s no snow in Texas—only Dr. Pepper.

But to stay out of the baby class (for babies) Luz needs to learn how to make ice, and she needs to do it without a training wand. And maybe after she learns it she’ll even be able to take her confident self over to the Slitherbeast’s cave and ask him if he’s still getting royalties from his appearance in The Empire Strikes Back.

How Did No Gem in Steven Universe Realize Rose Quartz Was Pink Diamond?

  • April 30, 2022

It was Steven Universe’s biggest reveal: Rose Quartz was actually Pink Diamond. There were a lot of people who didn’t think it was true, but we’re just humans—what we want to know is how Rose Quartz – or is that Pink Diamond? – was able to fool every Gem she came across too? What if I told you it wasn’t that hard?

Steven Universe is full of Gems, and a lot of them met the rebellious Rose Quartz without realizing she was actually Pink Diamond. Some even fought alongside her, and stood by her son’s side, giving us the Steven Universe we know and love.

GC13 and Soren discuss Sense and Insensitivity from The Owl House.

Crunch culture is a heck of a thing, isn’t it? If a writer hasn’t come up with a sequel to his bestselling novel in 24 hours, then the levelheaded thing to do is obviously to trap him in a shrinking cube with his co-author and a one-hour death timer.

Or not. We’re not in publishing though, so what do we know? We probably wouldn’t ambush two of the most powerful witches on the isles either.

One Flashback, Two Reveals: How The Owl House Hit Hard With Them’s the Breaks, Kid

  • April 23, 2022

The ending of Them’s the Breaks, Kid was, if anything, The Owl House over-booking: not only do we know that Raine has beaten Terra’s mind control, we know that we have at least one highly placed co-conspirator in the fight against Belos. Oh The Owl House, you spoil us sometimes.

Them’s the Breaks, Kid didn’t just tell us about The Owl House’s future though, it also told us about its past: Raine had already beaten Terra’s mind control by the time of Follies at the Coven Day Parade. And we even had time to see what a good mum Terra would have been.

GC13 and Soren discuss Escape of the Palisman from The Owl House.

Who has Hexside pride? Luz does! Even if she spends all of her time walking around in a Glandus shirt. She also cares enough for Owlbert to fight the Bat Queen: the biggest palisman you’ve ever seen! And maybe one of the funniest too.

By the way, if you’ve ever had trouble with your braces, then Soren has definitely felt your pain. But please do wear your retainer as directed, or it will all be for nothing.

Teacup Giant: When Summer Camp Island Gave Us Another Moral

  • April 16, 2022

Alexa was very excited to learn of her identity as Summer Camp Island’s new giant, but she had a harder time training under Skadi than she expected. Rather than Summer Camp Island cautioning us that it takes time to learn a new skill though, we got another moral: instead, Alexa had to be a giant in her own way, not Skadi’s way.

So, what do you think? Did Summer Camp Island change morals on us?

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Something Ventured, Someone Framed from The Owl House.

Look, no one’s happy that it’s an episode based off of one character lying to another, but it’s times like this where’s it’s best to Be Like Bump: that guy doesn’t care about much of anything, does he? And that’s what we love about him.

So whether you think Eda was a good student or an awful one, enjoy her past antics and Luz’s present day antics: she’s enrolled now.

Does The Owl House Make More Sense if Luz’s Father is a Witch?

  • April 9, 2022

The Owl House is definitely a show for pattern finders, but watch out: if you go looking for patterns, you might see some crazy things. Any Sport in a Storm already has Amity convinced that Luz’s mother is a witch, but it might just be Luz’s father who is a witch. The Owl House works in mysterious ways.

Yes, it’s crazy to even think it, but The Owl House has given us some reason to wonder. Don’t you wonder?
