For the Honour of Greyskull! Today Ellis is joined by comic-writer Miranda Richardson to discuss the incredible She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Turns out it's really challenging to critique something that does feminism so damn well! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happy No Year! We're kicking off the year by revisiting a topic that we just scratched the surface of last time - FRIENDS!

Happy Little Accidents are the best! Mim and Ellis sit down with actor, writer, and producer Jennifer Trijo for what they thought was a quick interview about Disney Princess parody 'Disenchanted' but actually turned into an hour long talk about the importance of art in society, philosophy, and Ellis' embarrassing Glee diary. We enjoyed the talk so much that we thought we'd publish the whole thing! What a way to kick off 202! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to hear something strange? Will this movie fail or pass?
