GC13 and David discuss Dating Season and Anne vs Wild from Amphibia.

Amphibia is a strange, messed up world. Between their bizarre, exploitative courtship rituals and their idyllic campgrounds with such wimpy amenities as potable water, it’s a miracle they can get anything done.

Luckily the episodes have back to back guest voice actors, and Anne has a peony princess bath bomb in her backpack just in case some very muddy but also very cannibal frogs try to eat everyone.

Follies at the Coven Day Parade Brought a New Status Quo to The Owl House for Season 2B

  • March 26, 2022

The Owl House started off Season 2B with a bang by airing Follies at the Coven Day Parade. We’ve met a new coven head, Terra Snapdragon, and it seems she’s Belos’s new enforcer. Look out Kiki, you’re on thin ice! The Owl House might be seeing a new turncloak soon…

But that’s not all. The end of Follies at the Coven Day Parade means The Owl House Season 2B also has us wondering why Emperor Belos claims never to have met Luz before. I’m pretty sure he’d remember what she did. Put on your tinfoil hats, because The Owl House looks to be cooking up a conspiracy.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Lost in Language from The Owl House.

Spoiler alert if you’re not up to date with The Owl House, but Lumity began here. Why be someone’s rival if you can befriend and romance them instead?

And in addition to setting us down that path, we also met the Blight Twins. They may not be at their nicest here, but they play Luz like a fiddle and we get to see some pretty amazing magic as a result. All’s well that ends well, right?

Emperor Belos’s Arc: The Owl House’s Current Big Bad Follows Eda’s Lead

  • March 19, 2022

Emperor Belos rules the Boiling Isles with an iron fist. As The Owl House has shown us though, he has difficulty ruling his own body. This is something Eda has some experience with, and in the most recent episodes she’s experienced something of a breakthrough.

Depending on how The Owl House progresses we may see Belos faced with a similar choice. Is he the kind of guy to take it though? How pessimistic is The Owl House willing to be?

GC13 and David discuss the Susie and the Babies arc from Summer Camp Island’s fifth season.

Three more babies now know their magical identifies (or lack thereof): Oliver, Alexa, and Lem. Hopefully Susie can keep Alexa and Pepper separated, or else things might get lucky.

And to top it all off now we might even have a hint that maybe the summer camp is actually old, like it appeared to be before Jimjams told us the story in season three. Are you confused yet?

Kid Cosmic, Season 3, and Comic Book Writing

  • March 12, 2022

Season 3 of Kid Cosmic starts out with our characters living out the Kid’s dream: Kid Cosmic and the Local Heroes have become Kid Cosmic and the Global Heroes, and they have the Planet Protection Group behind them.

It’s not just that Kid Cosmic is living his dream though: he’s living IN a dream. Kid Cosmic Season 3 does something clever to warn you about this though: yes, first Papa G and then Jo are convinced that something is wrong, but it also uses comic book writing to make the third season FEEL very different from Kid Cosmic’s first two seasons.

When did YOU start agreeing that things weren’t right?

GC13 and David discuss Sprig vs Hop Pop and Girl Time from Amphibia.

The Plantar family sure has some crazy rituals, doesn’t it? They don’t need your suggestions for that, but Hop Pop will be happy to read them anyway. Jeremy really taught him a lot.

And Anne finally got that stick out of her hair. For just one episode, we knew what it could look like.

Rest in peace Slippy. (He slipped.)

Cartoon Network February 2022 Ratings Report

  • March 5, 2022

Sure, Cartoon Network only aired premiers of two series in February, but they also aired their special edition of the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. Is it spoiling things to say that the slam dunk contest topped the network’s premiers for ratings this month with the Teen Titans hosting them?

But not only do we have the ratings for the slam dunk contest, we also have a very curious bomb for Total Dramarama, and an actual episode of Teen Titans Go as well.

GC13 and David discuss Hooty’s Moving Hassle from The Owl House.

Hooty’s a big boy house, and he’s got the legs to prove it! When he’s been conjured, anyway. Come to think of it, there’s an awful lot we don’t know about the way the conjuring works… And Penstagram. Maybe we’re better off never having that one explained to us, actually.

At least Tom the Demon Hunter is out there living his childhood dream: throwing children off of cliffs, and never looking back.

Listen to the Voice of OK KO’s Radicles in Neon White

  • February 26, 2022

I was just trying to play video games. I didn’t think that when I played Neon White, I’d end up hearing Radicles, he of OK KO fame. It looks like Ian Jones-Quartey is in demand though, so hear him I did, as the voice of Neon Yellow. And not just the voice: Neon White gives us the full Radicles experience with the kind of characterization you remember from OK KO.

So there’s no reason to be sad: OK KO may have ended early, but a piece of Radicles lives on in Neon White.

If you’re interested, Neon White is listed on the Switch and on Steam.
