The Ringo Zone

Welcome to Episode 118 of The Ringo Zone! We’re talking about Lars of the Stars!

Kayla here! In this episode, Leiji Matsumoto stan Natasha elucidates all of us about the various anime references in this episode, we talk about how Lars is leaning into the anime situation he finds himself in and to everyone’s surprise, it suits the hell out of him, how the breakneck pacing of this episode somehow doesn’t feel rushed, that Lars on the inside is still the teen who threw away the cake he made, and I put down a theory that Lars will pull a Frodo Baggins and say goodbye to Earth at the end of the series.

Welcome to Episode 117 of The Ringo Zone! We’re talking about Kevin Party!

Kayla here, and I FUCKED UP THE AUDIO FOR THE LAST EPISODE WE RECORDED. So I’m sorry for the huge huge fucking delay here, it’s partly my fault, and we had to re-record. Anyway, we talk about how Kevin is the new Lars and how weird it is that those two characters are on divergent paths on a character arc that began in basically the same place, that Sabina is probably mystery girl, that everyone looks super swag in this episode, how Steven’s magical destiny precludes him from being properly socialized, that dating games are bullshit, and that Rebecca Sugar will henceforth be referred to as Becky Shugs. And remember #dontbeakevin.

Welcome to Episode 116 of The Ringo Zone! We’re talking about Sadie Killer!

Kayla here, it’s been a bit! Appropriately, we spend a good six or seven minutes at the start of this episode fucking around (we missed each other), which included bacon crunching, dabbing, wedding invitations, halloween costumes, thanksgiving plans, cannibal gators on meth, and discussion about where Natasha is in the caste system, but after that we get into the real stuff. We talk about how the Cool Kids are good good kids, the possible future episodes for Sadie and the Suspects, how Sadie is developing as a character under the impression that Lars has remained static, how Sadie is what was missing from the Cool Kid dynamic, how important Beach City episodes are—perhaps now more than ever—and as always, there’s a touch of BNHA talk.

Welcome to Episode 115 of The Ringo Zone! We’re talking about Back to the Kindergarten!

Kayla here, and in this episode we talk about how when you have a friend who is depressed, DON’T MAKE IT ABOUT YOU, how to try and avoid reading a failure as a reflection on who you are as a person, the steps of a grieving process, both as a singular person and as a group of depressed people…a lot of heavy shit this episode, but we still manage to make it fun. We also psychoanalyze Peridot. Mostly me. I psychoanalyze Peridot. Gosh I love her so much.

Welcome to Episode 114 of The Ringo Zone! We’re talking about Raising the Barn!

Kayla here, and in this episode we talk about vegetable gender assignment, Peridot learning how to socialize like a human, and there’s much discourse about the similarities and differences between a well-written character and a good person, and how when a traumatized adult and a socially awkward child are roommates shit WILL hit the fan. We all agree that Lapis needs a win, and the episode closes out with discussion on how Steven has been a direct influence for Peridot’s entire developmental process. There’s some bonus BNHA talk at the end as well! (Kohei Horikoshi, YOU DO YOU, BOO.)

Welcome to Episode 113 of The Ringo Zone!

Kayla here, and in this episode we’re skipping ahead to the SDCC episode, Legs from Here to Homeworld! This is a long one and there was so much discussion we just had to cut for time, so this one is a little light on the bullshittery, but it’s still packed with that good good Ringo flair. We talk about Centipeedle’s reveal, how the Diamonds fucked up their genocide attempt, and your daily reminder that Steven is an idiot and how we figure Pink Diamond was an idiot as well. Additionally, we make excuses for the Crewniverse’s Connie animation errors and tear them apart for their writing for Connie’s parents, and we discuss the Diamond Voltron, but how that doesn’t make Pink Diamond’s leg ship any less stupid. We praise our new best gem, we theorize about the Crystal Gems left on Earth and what Lars and the Off Colors are up to, AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT we of course talk about the HUGEST PLOT BOMB EVER, White Diamond.

Welcome to Episode 112 of The Ringo Zone!

Kayla here, and in this episode the Ringo Hosts talk about Gemcation! Topics covered are party guy, Greg’s fiscal responsibility (or lack thereof), real-life Ronaldos, Pearl’s series-wide moments of foreshadowing, and of course it wouldn’t be an episode of The Ringo Zone without your state-required dose of discussing how Steven is fourteen and his life is fucked.

Welcome to Episode 1 of The Nanefua Zone!

Kayla here, and you may have noticed we haven’t released a new episode in a hot minute. That’s because we’ve been undergoing some major rebranding, and to celebrate renaming The Ringo Zone to The Nanefua Zone, what better episode to review than Dewey Wins? We talk plenty about your normal Ringo Zone fare (i.e., Steven and Peridot getting space married, Dillon impressions, Max having one hundred hands, etc.), but now included is 100% more Nanefua Cult Activity!

Welcome to Episode 110 of The Ringo Zone!

This is an incredibly momentous episode! ALL SIX Ringo hosts are here, and that’s because it’s the three year anniversary of The Ringo Zone! To celebrate, we’re skipping ahead a little and covering the most recent (and most important) Steven Universe episode, A Single Pale Rose. It’s also a momentous episode because it takes place at Gerber’s funeral, where we inaugurate Natasha, our new sixth cohost.

Welcome to Episode 109 of The Ringo Zone! We’re talking about Lars’ Head!

Kayla here, and in this episode we get into the really good gooey center of Lars’ character and his possible future as a pink undead space teen. We also give Max an opportunity to gush about Padparascha, we discuss how Peridot might react to the Off Colors, how Gem Society doesn’t have a sanctuary for “wrong” gems, and how I’m happy to be moving somewhere with proper seasons.
