In this bonus episode of the show, we rise to the challenge laid down by Eden S (one of our patrons) and recap several episodes of the queer fantasy classic and greatest show of all time, Xena: Warrior Princess. We knew we'd need back up before taking on the absolutlely legendary two parter "The Debt" so we called in the lovely Alex Cranz to help us discuss both episodes, plus the season 6 classic "When Fates Collide"

Hear us break down all the campy queer action, discuss Xena's place in LGBTQ+ fandom and whether it still holds up, and revisit our more innocent past selves who somehow thought Xena and Gabrielle were just really good gal pals. Even if you've never seen an episode of the show give it a listen.
