January 30, 2018 Episode 80 - Coheed and Cambria + The Amory Wars
We're (mostly) wrapping up our pop-punk-inspired comic miniseries with episode 80, discussing The Amory Wars and Coheed and Cambria. It's…well, it's not our favorite, let's leave it at that. Join us for thoughts on misogyny, on emulating the past, and on how we actually don't really know anything about the technicalities of music.

January 16, 2018 Episode 79 – My Chemical Romance, Umbrella Academy, and Doom Patrol
This is how we like to do it in the murder scene—if by 'the murder scene' you mean episode 79 and by 'like to do it' you mean 'talk about our great love for My Chemical Romance and Gerard Way's comics!' Equal parts fan raving, analysis, and discussion of why weirdness is a good thing, this episode is pretty much a love letter to one of our favorite bands. Enjoy!

January 02, 2018 Episode 78 – Polarity by Max Bemis
Welcome to episode 78, in which we discuss Polarity by Max Bemis, the lyricist and vocalist for Say Anything, one of the major bands of our adolescence. We're talking about catharsis, about audience, and about hypocrisy, because Polarity is a lot to digest while simultaneously being very little.

December 19, 2017 Episode 77 – Pop Punk
We're returning to our roots in episode 77, all about pop punk, the music that made us the weirdos we are today. Despite all the pogoing and mashing, there's some serious questions to be had about the treatment of women in the genre, especially in light of recent allegations.

December 05, 2017 Episode 76 – Carmilla
Let's get spooky and a little sexy in episode 76, all about Carmilla! We're talking about how online media impacts who gets to tell stories, the legacy of our childhood faves, and branded feminism. Did you think this was going to be a light and fluffy episode? We did too, honestly. We're incorrigible.

Mistakes: Our discussion of gendered clothing and non-binary representation could be better—sometimes we discuss things that aren't in the outline, and our wording isn't as clear as we'd like it to be. What we mean in this discussion is that non-binary folks don't have to look a certain way to be non-binary; pop culture and fashion imply that androgyny looks masculine, but not everybody's identities align with that. A non-binary person is non-binary no matter what they wear. Both of us are cis, and we're willing to admit that we screw up sometimes; if you want to correct us about anything we said in this conversation, please do! We want to do better, and we appreciate the feedback.

It's time to put our Avatar miniseries to rest as we tackle seasons three and four of The Legend of Korra. What's up with gender roles? Why are we so het up about modernity? Where does the show succeed, and where does it fail?
