ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast

I writing this 7 years after Once Upon a Time ended, but I needed to a review. I am currently watching OUaT with my family on Disney plus for the first time on Disney plus (I’m on season 5). When this show first came out, I was too young to watch it and fully comprehend it. But I am obsessed with the series now and everything about it!! And I love listening to this podcast after I watch the episodes! At first I was skeptical about it, because it wasn’t the producers/cast speaking, but after a few episodes in I was hooked. These friends are so fun to listen to! I laugh along with them at some of their jokes (between “squid ink” and the segways for thanking sponsors and “your questions are pointless”) and I can tell that these hosts are really good friends with each other. They do bring up really good theories and lots of great background information if you like to fully indulge yourself without every fact about the show like me. And they do provide spoilers at the end of the episode, which is very nice for those of us who don’t want to know the spoilers :) They also bring up really good points about Christianity and point out some similarities between OUaT and Bible references, which I appreciate. I am Christian as well and I really enjoy the biblical references. Thank you for that! This is a really great podcast for anyone who enjoys Once Upon a Time. They go through all 7 seasons, have both initial reactions and two hour long episodes in full detail of the episodes, and have several good discussions. I recommend you listen to it. You won’t regret it. Also—Jacquelyn, I am a huge Rumpelstiltskin fan and have shipped RumBelle since Skin Deep (which is my favorite episode). I always enjoy your Rumpel’s girl moments 😉)

I listened to this show when it was live from the very first episode when OUAT premiered and liked it until I listened to the Ruby Slippers episode and realized the hosts are homophobic and I started noticing other inappropriate and offensive views. I started a rewatch of OUAT and decided to re- listen to the episodes after each episode. I’m appalled by a lot of the shaming and offensive language used by the hosts. It really turns me off from the show.

They way they speak about Paganism and the occult is ignorant.

I know I am writing this several years after this podcast ended but this is an amazing podcast! I love how in-depth they go and it’s so much fun after watching an episode to see them debrief it!
