It's part one of our GRAND FINALE, aka Heart Part 2, part 1! The action! The feels! THE GAY!!!!
Catra is a big damn action hero, Shadow Weaver does her One Good Thing, Hordak defies Big Brother, and the earth(theria) might just swallow us all up in a rain of eternal hellfire if the heroics don't come quick enough! But our buds are fierce, loyal and true. It's all on the line, queerfam.
Good thing our real lives are SUPER CHILL RIGHT NOW and this is exactly the kind of escapist fantasy we're all looking for to spice things up a bit! Stay tuned for the epic conclusion of Heart Part 2, Part 2, COMING WICKED SOON!!!

Buckle your glitter-studded gay seat belts, rebel queerlings, because we are equally close to winning in the end OR just, THE END. While the best friend squad heads for the Heart of Etheria, the rest of our princess pals attack the Horde spire directly, hoping to draw attention away from Entrapta, who is making her move inside to disable the entire pod people chip network! And speaking of moves...our least favorite dude in the known universe is making his Big Boy move, at long last, to make the power of the Heart his own.
In other words, SHIT IS ABOUT TO GO CRAZY.

It's part 2 of Failsafe!! Or, part 2 of part 1 of the three-part finale movie, where all pretense of queer subtext is cast aside like a majestic cape at the epic final act of the hero's quest. THEY WERE QUEER THE WHOLE TIME, AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, NETFLIX EXECUTIVES.
.........................
Did you know She-ra and the Princesses of Power is being removed from Netflix on February 21st? And it's not available anywhere else, even on DVD (only the first 3 seasons). We're working hard to drop the rest of our episodes before that date!
You can also sign a petition telling Netflix NOT to remove it!

It's part 1 of our FINAL THREE!!! The big gay feels are...big. Not to be outdone by their co-star & MVP, trauma, baby! Shadow Weaver would really like one more chance to use Catra & Adora as her personal wind-up toys, while Glimmer gets to meet her dad for the first time-- while he's an EVIL POD PERSON!
While over on the slightly lighter B plot, Entrapta might just save all our chipped pals at once...if she can manage to mingle amongst her clone boyfriends stealthily, which we all know is right at the top of her skill set. WHAT COULD GO WRONG.

Dreading going home to your toxic red state family for the holidays? AT LEAST THEY DON'T LIVE IN THE FRIGHT ZONE! Yes, all our messy queers are going back home this week, with all the big lessons they've learned over the course of FIVE WHOLE SEASONS. Will it be enough to help them win in the end? Will Chipped Scorpia squash them with battle tanks? Will Bow's dads finally learn how to update their tracker pads? Will we all become FRIENDS OF MARA?? Let's find out together!

It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good-- on the high seas or for our pals on Etheria! They're off to occupied Erlandia, the adorable town of the veggie folk, to get some intel on our chipped princess pals. Meanwhile, Wrong Hordak learns about the joys of facial affect now that he's free to be an individual, and OH BOY is he eager to spread the message of dissent amongst the ranks, while also playing it VERY COOL & STEALTHY. Should be no problem for our pals, who are SO GREAT AT STEALTH. Didn't you see the cloaks?!

Break out your classiest fit and your sneakiest spycraft, because we're all going down the broom closet elevator with Seahawk to the SECRET UNDERWATER PARTY ADVENTURE!!! And it's going to be, just, unbelievably gay. (And bi!! And every type of queer imaginable!!!)
We'll finally get a comprehensive lineup of all Seahawk's exes, and enjoy watching Mermista beat them all up; Scorfuma blossoms before our eyes; Peekablue may or may not make a theatrical debut; and absolutely nothing bad happens to anyone.

We're back with our final bonus ep in our Summer SideQuest! Jenny talks with YouTuber & Buffy Prom Pal Vikram Ramani about some of his favorite characters & all the queer & trans analysis just begging to be read.

In our next episode of QUEERS IN SPACE!! She-ra has returned in the most iconically queer manner, we have successfully saved the cat, but now FOR SOME REASON our pals just can't seem to evade Horde Prime's forces...could it somehow be related to the very creepy vibes our buddies back on Etheria encounter when they attempt a rescue in Elberon?! ALL WILL BE REVEALED BY THE DRAMATIC CONCLUSION!

It's ROUGH to run out of gas in Death Valley! Or, if you're in a sci-fi genre show, a hauntingly desolate "crystal planet" that appears suspiciously devoid of crystals. But FEAR NOT, newly reunited best pals of ours! There are some hot queer sibs just around the corner who would probably love to team up, if you can get your messy lesbian drama together, Adora, & just do your thing! AND if Bow & Glimmer can have five freaking minutes of peace to talk about their feelings & healthy boundaries?? AAGGHH CRYSTALS!!!

In honor of the first MAJOR GAY SCREAMING EPISODE of Season 5, we've brought back a fan favorite (and host favorite) guest for your queer nerd delight-- it's Sar from Five by Five Takes!
Listen to the three of us talk SO MUCH about Catradora, heavy symbolism, ride or die with Glimmer, and say the word CORRIDORS a lot!

Our ANCIENT SPACESHIP is finally repaired, and we are ready to LAUNCH into SPAAAACE!!! ...As soon as Adora gets that mandatory nap due to no longer being part Valkyrie, and the rest of our princess pals work together to hack Horde Prime's comms & figure out Glimmer's location IN SPACE, which will probably be SUPER EASY and not put a strain on ANY RELATIONSHIPS AT ALL. Plus, the faint stirrings of SparkleKitty shenanigans, maybe? (IN SPAAAAACE!)

HOLY SHITBALLS IT'S SEASON 5!!! Our buddies are LEVELING UP for the final battle for the fate of the world, or, perhaps, the entire universe. (If you think that's scary, check out Project 2025-- the GOP's plans for the US after the next election! This is some end-times shit, y'all).
Meanwhile IN SPACE, Glimmer & Catra are trapped on Horde Prime's mothership, aka Our Lady of Perpetual Death Star; will their journeys finally align to the supremely badass sparklekitty duo we're all rooting for? Will THE SHE-RA ever be returned to us? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT! IT'S SEASON FIVE BY FIVE, YEEAAHHHHH!!!!!

WE ARE BACK FROM HIATUS!!! And we sure did miss you, queerfam. This episode is very close to both our hearts, and we hope you will receive it with love, even if it challenges you in some ways. Instead of our usual post-season race roundtable, today we are discussing Israel & Palestine, & our relationship to the current war on Gaza as Antizionist Jews. With us is special guest Kaia from the Western MA chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. We'll discuss our personal histories & how we came to consciousness on this topic, as well as some pretty clear parallels between SPOP & our lived experiences of Israel/Palestine. There are a LOT of links in today's show notes, so please use them! They're WICKED EDUCATIONAL. We will return with regular S5 coverage in late June 2024.

So this one time in the 80's, a fantasy hero child and his white horse bff went on an epic quest that took them to a landscape that was the literal embodiment of depression and hopelessness; and then that landscape of depression SWALLOWED THE HORSE WHOLE IN FRONT OF HIS LITTLE KID BFF'S EYES, leaving a generation of kids wicked traumatized.
Now it's time for ANOTHER white horse (pegicorn, ok) to visit ANOTHER landscape of depression and hopelessness with his human hero bff... but this time, they won't be alone! Because if there's one thing we know as queer folks, it's that the way to survive all the Swamps of Sadness, in this or any world, is through the power of COMMUNIITY.
Hold on to each other, queerlings. We're damn well gonna win in the end!

With the magical nukes at the heart of Etheria looming, friendships and people we love begin to...fracture. Guts are wrenched. BFFs torn asunder. But at least we finally get the wholesomely gay meetcute of Perfuma and Scorpia, who are the best and the winners of every gayest moment forever!

Across the Whispering Woods, a freak acid spore cloud has trapped some of our favorite side characters in unfavorable and dangerous situations.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the sparkliest fangirl of them all?!? IT'S FLUTTERINA.
Whilst our dear Flutterina is busy laying it on SUUUUPER thick with the rebellion, Bow and Adora (and SWIFT WIND!) are busy taking in the most amazeballs victory party they've ever seen...and it's all for them! But it definitely WON'T be a distraction from any sinister machinations of one Catra Meow Meow Applesauce. Because, as Adora will be the first to remind you, "this is my JOB, and I'm actually VERY good at it. Just ENJOY the party!" WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.
NOTE: at around 37:42, Jenny accidentally misgenders Double Trouble as "he." We didn't catch it during the recording, probably because it was such a small slip (she correctly calls DT "they" for the rest of the ep). We apologize for this slip-up! Obviously we would never misgender anyone intentionally.

Perfuma and Huntara flirt their way across the desert in pursuit of Mara's ship, and there is SO MUCH gay screaming. (Bow and Adora are there too lol). Glimmer WANTS to be there like soooooo freakin bad, but the Queen must stay in the castle and attend to the adulting parts of Queendom (SO MANY MEETINGS). Meanwhile, the Horde is also after Mara's ship...and we meet a new friend who we love truly, madly & deeply even though they are not entirely unproblematic!

It's SEASON 4 and nothing will ever be like it was, ever again. Lines have been crossed, loved ones have been lost. In Bright Moon, Glimmer must step up and accept her mantle as Queen even as she mourns the loss of her mother, Queen Angella; while in the Fright Zone, Catra must fight the evil forces of Hordak's emo man-baby pity-party to keep both her life and her power. Mourning is messy but it's all part of winning in the end.

Glimmer is ready to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to rescue Adora from the Horde, even if it means going behind her literal angel-mama's back to team up with evil mom Shadow Weaver. Meanwhile, Catra is also willing to do WHAT!EVER! IT! TAKES! to win her personal war with her ex-girlfriend, even if she has to destroy all of space and time to make it happen.

Hold onto your swoony bits, gentlequeers, because HUNTARA is here!!!! (That's, like, basically the whole episode, right? It's the one with Huntara). There might also be some pretty massive evil exposition going on in Hordak's emo man-cave, but Entrapta will tell you about that because we were all staring at HUNTARA and her GIANT PURPLE MUSCLES because WE ARE GAY AND ALSO HUMAN.

In our MOST FUN EPISODE YET, the princess alliance plays a wholesome game of Dungeons and Dragons to prepare a winning battle strategy against the Horde and recapture a crucial outpost. Meanwhile, Scorpia and our soon-to-be-named favorite Horde trio have an equally adorable series of shenanigans on the other side of the parapet while preparing to defend it. WHO WILL WIN THE DAY? (Spoiler alert, it's friendship).

Content Warning: This episode contains academic discussion of BDSM (primarily bondage, as a sexual and/or pleasure kink) starting at 44:53 and ending around 52:30. The discussion is not graphic and refers primarily to power dynamics.
WOW do we have a lot of gayness to go around in this ep named after bondage. Catra enjoys unleashing her bratty bottom skills on woefully unprepared captors Bow & Glimmer; She-ra learns to embrace the fun side of her sacred duties courtesy of a certain Socialist revolutionary pegicorn; and we delve into the early stages of Robot Existentialism on Etheria. Also SCORPIA!

We’re back in your feeds to discuss the first half of the iconic(ally gay) pilot episode, The Sword Part 1! Adora receives the call to her hero’s journey; Catra just wants to blow something up, Shadow Weaver is emotionally toxic, and a baby bi princess just wants her mom to trust her with more military independence. AND SO MUCH MORE. Jenny & Meff will be dropping new eps every other Tuesday, all season long!
