Warriors Bards 'n Brews: A Xena Podcast

Sara loves A League of Their Own (1992)! So does Chloe! Chloe loves A League of Their Own (2022)! Sara tolerates it. In this episode, we watch the 1992 movie, touch on the new show, and effusively declare our love for Rosie O' Donnell. There are also a lot of very confusing accents, courtesy of S?

We'd both forgotten how incredibly fun this episode is! We like it more than Footloose, the movie it essentially spoofs. Join us as we laugh our way through A Tale of Two Muses, featuring ILLICIT GYRATING, questionable Southern accents, politics, and confusing costumes!

We drank very effective energy drinks and giddily discussed yet another episode featuring one of Xena's favourite nemeses, Caesar! That guy's antics always seem to lead to some very pivotal moments for both our heroines.

We enthusiastically welcomed back three of our previous guests (Andrea Warner, Dina Del Bucchia and Hannah McGregor) to very chaotically discuss queer camp classic But I'm a Cheerleader!

Remember when we told you we're obsessed with Yellowjackets? Well, Sara recently joined pals kt and bailey to continue yelling about our favourite cannibals! Chloe had the plague and sat this one out. The trio chat about the fans' hunger (hah!) for seeing the girls chow down on one another, music hopes for season 2, the potential for more queerness (it's a girls' soccer team, ffs!) and puzzle over the main characters' motivations. bailey (they/them) is a Cree, Metis, Ukrainian Indigiqueer artist and beader living in Nanaimo BC. You can check out their website here: https://cedarsageskoden.com/ and follow their Instagram: @cedarsageskoden. kt (she/her) is a musician (Dearly Beloved, Like a Motorcycle) and designer with a non-profit in Halifax, NS.

We're obsessed with Yellowjackets. Like, really obsessed. Join us as we get into the nitty gritty of the show's(very nuanced) characters, discuss our theories, and pose the important questions, such as: once a cannibal, always a cannibal?

It's gay chaos....gayos?! We're back and giggly as we discuss the truly nonsensical but lovely Family Affair. Who doesn't like a Xena and Gabrielle reunion? And for once, Gabrielle gets her own double!

Happy Halloween! We're huge horror fans and for our first horror movie episode ever, we're discussing one of the scariest movies out there (at least, we think so!) -- Host! We discuss the appeal of horror movies, the genre's link to grief, and how filming over Zoom really amps up the scares. Oh, and we scream a lot. Remember: DON'T HOLD A SEANCE OVER ZOOM.

Everyone's hot and it's fun! That's the crux of Ocean's 8, but obviously we have more to say about it than just that. We discuss diversity, the movie's sartorial delights, food allergies, and ask: is this queerbait? We also rant about anti-vaxxers and thirst over Lou, because, y'know.

This week we welcome special guest Dina Del Bucchia to discuss one wild mishmash of an episode, In Sickness and in Hell! We talk about creepy crawlies, being disappointed by our heroes (and conversely, our positive experiences with Bruce Campbell), our affection for the episode, and fandom. We also rag on TERFs!

Flogging and butts and visions, oh my! In this episode, we follow along with Xena as she continues on her path to redemption and wonder: once a murderer, always a murderer? Also: why do we always have panic attacks when we're trying to buy a specific cheese? Podcat also makes a particularly loud extended appearance.

This week, we discuss Adventures in the Sin Trade: Part 1, a devastating episode that concludes with the most epic, crushing line in all of history: "It's a toughie." Join us as we follow along with Xena in her quest to rescue her lady love from the Amazon Land of the Dead!

We really cracked ourselves up talking over this very dramatic episode of television! We wonder: Why DOES Hope look exactly like Gabrielle? Is Xena acting out of character? Sara also proves to be the Master of Segues and we both give you all a glimpse into just how nerdy we are.

If the cocoon's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'! We finally return to Xena, and discuss an episode that's got A LOT going on - Sacrifice Pt 1. We talk about Gabrielle's fortitude, the rules behind blood sacrifices, and meeting Katee Sackhoff. Chloe also seriously dates herself.

It's that time of year, and we're discussing one of the most divisive queer movies of recent years, Happiest Season! Are you team Harper or team Riley? Sara is team Riley and Chloe has mixed/too many feelings! We discuss whether coming out stories still have value, the movie's sartorial delights, toxic behaviour vs. toxic personhood, and more!

"Lesbians can have orgies too". We chat about gay music, being music nerds and S needs to offer a formal apology to their parents for the constant Pride Parade of music they subjected their parents to.

This episode is snatched! Also, wolves and vampires? Guess what, they're gay! This week, we revisit one of our favourite episodes and welcome back the delightful Dana Piccoli. Dana is the Editor in Chief of QueerMediaMatters, an entertainment writer and pop culture critic. We talk the queer gaze, vampires and consent, toxic masculinity, and other fun queer vampire content in pop culture over the years.

We tried to do a second podcast! But we're bad at schedules so we're incorporating it into WBB. Welcome to WBB Talks Music! These are short episodes where we chat about music and why it's good/bad/problematic/overlooked. First up, Kate Bush - The Dreaming. Great song, TERRIBLE LYRICS. EVEN WORSE VIDEO. The epitome of Well Intentioned White Woman Goes Way Off Track.

Chloe and Sara welcome back dear friend and Bruce Campbell enthusiast Jaime Brown, who once again brings her unique perspective to WBB Podcast. We chat about acting techniques, Bruce Campbell, letting your actors have fun, and ableism, and wonder....just how DID that scuba suit of Autolycus' work?

We've emerged from our pandemic depression haze to talk about a triumphant and emotional hour of TV, San Junipero (Black Mirror S03: E04)! While we generally like Black Mirror, we find it a bit overly pessimistic and monolithic in its attitude toward technology overall, so naturally this optimistic and very queer episode is our favourite. Because death and mortality are central themes, our conversations veer toward the heavy a little more than usual, but we still had a lot of fun talking about the episode, and we definitely had A LOT to say.
