On this episode of Conversation Parade, co-hosts Mike Eagle and John Moe ask whether Fionna and Cake are just characters in Ice King’s fan fiction or real characters he sees through his wizard’s eyes, and they talk about about the extent to which dealing with the Ice King is like dealing with someone battling addiction. Plus, Olivia Olson, the voice of Marceline the Vampire Queen, tells us about the upcoming 8-part series “Stakes.”

Fionna and Cake

Who are your favorite C-listers on Adventure Time? That’s the question hosts Open Mike Eagle and John Moe grapple with this week as they enumerate their top five characters who have appeared on more than one episode but are far from being the leading players. Will Tiffany make the list? How about Shelby the worm? Then, Mike interviews storyboard artist Jesse Moynihan about their shared love of Magic Man, creating Lemongrab without knowing the character would last more than one episode, and the flexibility of Finn.
