GC13 and Soren discuss Escaping Expulsion, continuing with The Owl House’s second season.

Well, we’ve officially met Odalia, and she’s just as wonderful as we thought she was. At least she’s no liar: the Abomaton really won’t stop going until it’s killed Luz. And since Luz has to finish the presentation to get her friends back into Hexside… Yeah, she probably should have asked some followup questions.

Next week we’ll be whipping back to season one, so look forward to that!

GC13 and Soren discuss Separate Tides from The Owl House.

No, don’t adjust your browsing device, we have skipped ahead four episodes to the start of The Owl House’s second season. We want to discuss the last episodes of season one with David, so we skip for now.

And what a skip it is. If you’ve already watched The Owl House then you know how much changes after season one, and even if you haven’t then you’ve probably figured that out already given how much foreknowledge we use when discussing the show.

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Understanding Willow from The Owl House.

Remember, when your friend falls ill at school, it’s important that you take them straight home without going to the school nurse at all—the school nurse probably isn’t a criminal willing to perform illegal medical procedures.

Also, consider this a reminder that forming parasocial relationships isn’t healthy. If you have to turn yourself into an open source intelligence analyst to compile information about a celebrity, they might want to keep their private life private.

GC13 and David discuss Really Small Problems from The Owl House.

In a world where wild houseflies are intelligent enough to serve as steeds and follow complex instructions involving not eating food, it’s probably a good thing their hairs are so fine, even on a very small scale.

It just gets weirder where it’s also a world where someone would rather add an unpaid snack seller to the staff than cash in the largest bounty the nation has ever seen. It’s a strange world.

GC13 and Soren discuss The First Day from The Owl House.

That’s right, we’re back to The Owl House! It’s Luz’s first day in a magical school. With a hat that can sort– we mean choose your coven track? Well, at least it’s not a boarding school…

How much foreshadowing do you see in season one? How many callbacks? There are a lot of bread crumbs left in The Owl House to follow, even if they can be rather subtle at times.

GC13 and David discuss A Night at the Inn and Wally and Anne from Amphibia.

So it’s another episode with cannibal frogs in one season. What are the odds? Probably a lot better than someone being careless enough to store vinegar right next to baking soda with Anne around—that’s a choice they’re going to regret.

Plus, Wally and Anne have finally bonded. Anne’s come a long way in her journey since her stay in Wartwood first began, and it’s nice to hear her start learning from the master of not caring what anyone thinks.

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…

GC13 and David discuss Croak and Punishment and Trip to the Archives from Amphibia.

So Anne has finally found out why it’s dangerous to have her hair taste like foliage; Sprig has probably also broken the land speed record. He makes a good bad cop too, though he’d probably make a good good cop as well.

Unfortunately no cicadas made it into the recording, but David did have a frog join him towards the end of the episode.

GC13 and David discuss Civil Wart and Hop-Popular from Amphibia.

Did someone say “Hop Pop episode”? Because Hopediah is becoming a popular man. He’s at least more popular than Hunter. Stupid Hunter. Where would he even be without his fantastic abs?

Whether Toadstool won his election fair and square or not though, at least Hop Pop has his stand back. Thankfully the market survived the shipping war.

GC13 and David discuss Grubhog Day and Hop Pop and Lock from Amphibia.

If you have trouble reading that first title as anything other than “Grubhub Day” then we feel your pain, and we’ve got just the medicine: a groovy electro swing beat from Hop Pop and Lock, minus the electro!

Don’t wonder why the Mayor is back, by the way: it’s more interesting to wonder why he would trust a Plantar of all people not to mess things up. Unless… The plan was always for things to get messed up!
