    Métis in Space S6E1 Recipe For Seduction

    Bid adieu to 2020, that hell year, and kick off Season 6 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk with Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel as they review "Recipe For Seduction," a 15-minute KFC and Lifetime mini-movie featuring "a young heiress struggling to choose between a wealthy suitor chosen by her mother, and the new house chef Harland Sanders." Somehow this also involves a lot of discussion about the work of trophy wives, and comparisons to various Star Trek series.

    Métis in Space S5E9 Blood Quantum

    In Season 5 Episode 9 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Molly Swain, Chelsea Vowel, and guest Daisy "Shania" Swain, review Jeff Barnaby's "Blood Quantum" where "the dead are coming back to life outside the isolated Mi'kmaq reserve of Red Crow, except for its Indigenous inhabitants who are strangely immune to the zombie plague." Atmospheric background noise (actually Molly's computer fan as her laptop gives up the ghost) adds annoying ambiance to this episode, making listeners want to rake jagged nails across their ears, but no amount of filters could get rid of it. Feel free to buy us a laptop for the show if you hate the awful damn buzzing.

    In Season 5 Episode 8 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel introduce the world to one of their many premoirs; a film depicting actual events involving the two intrepid hosts, events which have not yet happened in this timeline. The buddy comedy, "The Spy Who Dumped Me," details the adventures Molly and Chelsea will have in Europe once this pandemic is finally over. They also discuss dicks and full frontal nudity of all sorts for a really, really long time.

    Métis in Space S5E7 The Blues Brothers

    In Season 5 Episode 7 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Chelsea Vowel and Molly Swain reject all copaganda in favour of cops and Nazis getting smashed up by The Blues Brothers. Part 2 of a 2 part special pandemic interlude, your intrepid hosts showcase their Favourite Movie of All Time time time. Just over two hours focusing on Chelsea's love of The Blues Brothers. Extra EXTRA heretical (despite getting the Vatican seal of approval), more F-bombs than usual get dropped, maybe as many as the cop cars that get smashed in this film, so beware, this episode is NOT for the faint of heart!

    In Season 5 Episode 6 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Chelsea Vowel and Molly Swain put the otipêyimisiw in "their own bosses" and toss away the imaginary limitations of genre. Part 1 of a 2 part special pandemic interlude, your intrepid hosts showcase their Favourite Movie of All Time time time. This extra verbose 2 hour episode focuses on Molly's love of Jesus Christ Superstar. Extra heretical, blasphemous, and scatological, this episode is not for the faint of heart.
