GC13 and David discuss Snow Day and Cracking Mrs. Croaker from Amphibia.
Snow Day loads up Chekhov’s Gun with some sleight of hand, but we’re not mad: those pictures Anne and Sprig took were too darling. Plus, the hibernation episode wasn’t anything like Survival of the Idiots, so that has to count for something.
Plus, Sprig is a popular boy now (boy now, boy now). It’s just too bad Mrs. Croaker doesn’t think so. Now Sprig has to do something DRASTIC.
And while the cicadas may sound nice for a little bit, living with them does start to grate on your ears after a while…

Episode 406: Snow Day and Cracking Mrs. Croaker (from Amphibia)

TV & Film

GC13 and David discuss The Laughing Merman from Hilda.
It’s the one and only episode featuring the one and only Eugene. Are you sad that we don’t have a fourth season? Knowing that this is all of the Eugene we’ll ever have is just a sad way to think about a great episode.
And the Freaky Friends also add a new member: Louise! Is this just missed opportunities: the episode? Oh well, we’ll always have season four in our hearts, and maybe Louise will make a couple of minor appearances…

Episode 505: The Laughing Merman (from Hilda)

GC13 and David discuss The Giantslayer from Hilda.
He may not be tall, and he may not be strong, but the Giantslayer has a mission: annoy all the giants until they feel bad and leave. Hilda’s sad to see them go of course, but Halvor is very keen on it.
Do you wish the giants had stuck around? Do you think they owed something to humanity? Most importantly of all, do you think that humans owe anything to elfkind for… Well, everything?

Episode 504: The Giantslayer (from Hilda)

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Fairy Mound from Hilda.
Can you imagine any episode where Hilda learns what fairy mounds are and her not going to get stuck in one? Because while this may not be Astrid’s finest moment, she also really wants a visit.
Oh well, now we’re headed back to Trolberg. But it looks like a little piece of Tofoten is on its way to see Hilda. We’re not out of the fairy realm yet.

Episode 503: The Fairy Mound (from Hilda)

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Train to Tofoten from Hilda.
With the movie over it’s time for another season, sadly the final season of the show. But we have eight great episodes to look forward to!
We’re having a wonderful vacation to Tofoten! It’s great to have met Hilda’s great-aunt Astrid, and her neighbor the Pooka too. (Hey, his desire to not eat an egg sent the team on a great adventure, and as an added bonus, he can squirm like a live plooka. If you know you know.)

Episode 502: The Train to Tofoten (from Hilda)

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the movie Hilda and the Mountain King.
As far as cliffhangers go, Hilda being turned into a troll at the end of the second season rated quite highly. Now that we’re discussing the movie, it’s finally time to discuss how that turned out.
We find ourselves living in a world where the political commentary of the movie hits harder than ever (though we haven’t seen any real-world safety patrol officers carrying around assault flashlights just yet), but at least we get a feel-good ending.
