February 21, 2017 Episode 58 - Sailor Moon Super S
It's time for episode 58, which means we're knee-deep in Sailor Moon Super S! Want bizarre circus performers, crop tops for boys, and sweet horse loving? Look no further.

Warning: There's a bit of Freudian analysis in here, which is almost deserving of a warning in itself. But, more importantly, there's some discussion of genitalia with regard to some of the imagery of this season—this episode may not be the best to listen to with children unless you want weird questions about what penis envy and castration anxiety are.

Mistakes:Missy definitely meant that it was Usagi who was less jealous in the Sailor Moon R movie, but oh well.

Mistake: Not so much a mistake as an acknowledgement, but some friends arrived midway through recording, so there is some background noise as they provide live commentary and a laugh track for some of the discussions. If you hear weird noises in the background, it's them. Also, Missy outright says 'bitch' because you know what? Kylo Ren is one. Sorry.
