    S3E07 - Pink Cardigans of Justice

    In this episode we find out who the traitor in the Council  of the Great River (hint: it's not one of the unnamed extras). Things go sideways pretty quickly as Millie attempts to grab power with the help of the Camarilla. Because things never go wrong for native people when they put their trust in the American government, amirite? Anacostia inexplicably thinks this would be an ideal time for her to peace out and go on her own side mission, so it's left to Abigail and Adil to defend the Marshalls and the other people in the Cession. Abigail kicks some ass, snaps some necks and is generally awesome as she rallies the witch army to subvert the Camarilla's plans. Meanwhile, the unlikely duo of Tally and Scylla get together to free Thelma Bearkiller and the other Council members. They get an assist from the local Dodger community along the way. Sarah Alder takes a trip to Spain where she runs into the former lore master of the Camarilla. They have a tense exchange but Alder gets the info she's looking for. You can tell the lore master wants to ask her a bunch of questions, but she just leaves him hanging. Literally. Finally, Raelle returns! So I guess that means it's Scylla's turn to be kidnapped, because god forbid we get our gals in the same place this season. Having said that, we do get two favorite pairings back together, as Talder reunite to do some kind of back to the future magic spell and Anacostia and Nicte decide to join forces. Sorry this episode took so long, but we're staying firm on our commitment to finish out the season, so we've still got 3 more to go. Hopefully we'll get them all out in 2023 ;) As always, we appreciate you leaving ratings or reviews on iTunes, Spotify and other platforms.

    S3E05 - Meet the Council

    In this surprisingly short episode, the Unit finally gets their day in court, as they are called before the Great River Council to answer for their mischief in the Cession. We love the diverse range of characters representing the seven languages and people of the Cession. Of particular interest is the salty Thelma Bearkiller, who makes an instant impact. While the group awaits the verdict, Tally is busy trying to figure out if you can fight the future, or if fate is pre-determined and unchangeable. Alder shows off her mycellium vacation home to the other Stewards of the First Song, before she heads back to the surface to say hi to Tally and also to pulverize some Camarilla who dare to attack my precious Edwin Collar. Alban Hearst yet again escapes his fate, which is annoying, though we love the campy goodness the actor continues to bring to the role. Also: Anacostia and Sterling escape the Camarilla's clutches. But they have troubling intel to share, since the army that the Camarilla has assembled is pretty scary looking. Dun dun dun! We review how we felt about the first half of Season 3 and what we're most looking forward to in the back half. We also take your questions.  As always, we appreciate you leaving ratings or reviews on iTunes, Spotify and other platforms.

    S3E02 - When Camping Goes Terribly Wrong

    In this episode, the Bellweather Unit  sneaks into the Cession. Abigail is worried Scylla is going to steal Raelle away from them, but the Mycellium steals her away first, as she's sucked into the ground and put in a shiny prison somewhere in the earth.  Nicte shows off her hamburger Phantom face to Tally, before unleashing some fun new acid and bat-related abilities on some unsuspecting Camarilla agents at a chemical factory. The unit manages to luck into capturing Alban Hearst, only to immediately allow him to escape once the dreaded Cession Marshalls show up on the scene. Khalida acts super suspicious before disappearing (or maybe being kidnapped, I don't know) Meanwhile, in a much better subplot, Petra hosts a dinner party, M dazzles us with their snappy suit, and  we are blessed with the return of two queens in the form of President Wade and Minerva Bellweather. VP Silver is set back in his plan for total domination for the moment, as Wade flexes her presidential power all over him with a rousing speech in support of equal rights for witches. Also, Penelope Silver is back and 100% more insane than when we last saw her. She tries to choke out our beloved Izadora and is apparently able to transfer into a gaseous form at will. Also possibly insane? The Mycellium network, which does a very creepy "Mother will protect you, my dear" act with Raelle. Yikes. We answer all your burning questions and more.

    S3E01 - Tomato Stealing Bitches

    After a short hiatus, we are back recapping all the action on season 3 of Motherland Fort Salem! We enjoy a riveting hour of the girls moving boxes around a warehouse and living that not-so-glamourous dodger lifestyle. Raylla are hot and heavy, just how we like them. Adil has a case of the baby-crazies and Abigail isn't totally shooting that idea down.  Tally and Nicte spend quality time on the roof together being sexy and talking about the future (literally). Abigail and Tally team up to ruin it for everyone with their selfish and reckless behavior, as they manage to blow the cover of dozens of dodgers by being super suspicious and leading the authorities right to the secret warehouse. Daddy Dodger is not amused and neither is Scylla. Meanwhile, VP Silver is up to his old tricks alongside Albin Hearst and a new evil blonde lady. What evil plots do they have in store for our witches and the mycellium network, hmmm?  Thankfully we have a clue, thanks to super spy M on the case. Also, Penelope might be back, but in the form of a vengeful rain cloud. Definitely back? Sarah Alder (yeeeeeeeaaaah), freshly sprung from the earth somewhere in Spain and looking better than ever. Buckle up as we navigate the wild ride that season 3 is sure to hold for us.  As always, we appreciate you leaving ratings or reviews on iTunes, Spotify and other platforms.

    Bonus: Xena Warrior Princess recap w/guest host Alex Cranz

    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. Please rate and review us on iTunes and Spotify! You can also hit us up on social media with your reactions and questions.  You can find us at @FSWitchingHour or @mad_typist and @DJaedyxe.  Give Alex Cranz a shout out at @alexhcranz and read her amazing articles we talked about on the show: The Horniest Episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess25 Years Ago We Got Genre's Most Unapologetic Heroine Show outline: Intros (00:00)Meet Alex Cranz (02:26)The history of Xena (05:50)The Debt part 1 recap and discussion (19:18)The Debt part 2 recap and discussion (43:12)Xena fanfic and the origin of Uber/AU fics (1:03:46)When Fates Collide recap and discussion (1:11:16)What other Xena episodes should you check out (1:34:36)Wrap up (1:41:46)Support the show
