It’s Emily’s birthday! So, we decided to do a mini episode where we talk about which ever character Emily choses, and for some reason she decided to use this great power to talk about Loras Tyrell from A Song of Ice and Fire (and Game of Thrones). Just a fun conversation about someone who’s a bit of a meme, even though we still sneak in some serious analysis along the way. Enjoy!

All rise for Margaret’s first lead episode of the show, where we discuss Miles Edgeworth from the video game Ace Attorney. Miles is a prosecution attorney who only takes his eyes off the prize of justice to stare longingly at his boyfriend Phoenix Wright. We discuss Phoenix and Miles’ undeniable chemistry while Emily attempts to solve the murder of Miles’ father!

This week, we take a trip down memory lane to discuss Magnus Bane, (from the tv show Shadowhunters and the book series The Mortal Instruments), an immortal warlock who’s just trying to get his crush Alec’s attention while dealing with his dumb Shadowhunter friends and their insane, world-ending problems. We have a lot of fun taking the piss out of a show that we used to love as teenagers, enjoying some wholesome queer representation while also trying desperately to figure out Jace’s family tree. Join us for the ride!

We also somehow talk about Endgame for an hour. Now let’s go get this son of a bitch.

This week Emily and Margaret appreciate the complexities of their favourite girlboss, Catelyn Stark, from Game of Thrones. They explore how she cracks the case of who tried to kill her son Bran and foreshadows the show's entire plot all whilst effortlessly friendzoning Petyr Baelish. We learn some important lessons about how you should never break your oaths, never trust a Lannister and most importantly, always listen to your mother.

This week Margaret and Emily take a trip down memory lane to discuss the characters from Starkid’s ‘A Very Potter Musical’. From Voldemort and Quirrell to Dean and Seamus, they explore how to amplify a character’s surface level trait to make them hilarious caricatures. And remember, never tell a girl you like her it makes you look like an idiot.
