Ruining Our Childhood

45: Ma'am, comment on Gravity? Discussing Wicked

Allies and theater kids and fan fic: oh my! Today, Sid and Riley discuss Wicked and how it unfortunately did not impact their childhood, since Broadway doesn't often make its way to the (mid)west. If you're looking for insights into the film from an average former musical extra and a lesbian with a thing for broody brunettes, you've come to the right place. How does Wicked hold up?

43: Scooby-Doo and the Empire of Lies

*Sid's mic is haunted in this episode - sorry! Feat. sounds of her keyboard. We'll have it fixed next episode.* Sid has been waiting 31 years to talk this much about Scooby-Doo. The sisters discuss Velma's lesbianism, the appeal of mysteries and cartoon relationship drama. Sid also reads a semi-threatening letter she wrote to a live action Scooby-Doo critic 22 years ago. It's unhinged. Riley will never recover.   How does Scooby-Doo hold up today? It's great you stupid idiots. But listen anyway. Like the pod?

42: Unsettled - TV that haunts Riley

Sid's officially a married woman and Riley is ready to trauma dump! Join the gals for a random, spooky good time as they discuss Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trouers and an episode of Fraggle Rock. (Two very unrelated things that freaked Riley out as a kid.) Prepare to be unsettled, but not necessarily scared as the gals discuss the uncanny valley-ness of claymation, stranger danger and more.

41: The Millennial Trifecta - The Oregon, Amazon & Yukon Trail

This episode is brought to you by died-of-dysentery.com (jok not really, but it's a great website and played a big part in episode research!) Get your booties in the computer lab and get ready for a long journey because today's topic is about the holy trinity itself: The Oregon, Amazon and Yukon Trail games. Riley tells Sid a brief history of the game's origins before the conversation devolves into Gifted and Talented Education, the D.A.R.E. Program and other off-topic rants. This week's takeaway? Play. More. Games! Sorry about Riley's audio. It would appear that her microphone wasn't plugged in, so we're working with laptop sound. Like the pod?
