    Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and the Flash

    The Flash meets Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End this week as Becca takes on DC’s multiverse and Ellen slows things down with a quieter anime. They talk cameos, CGI, superhero fatigue, time travel rules, magical hero parties, immortal elves, and why a brief moment in someone’s life can still leave a lasting mark. Listen for a debate about DC vs Marvel, deep thoughts about time, strong feelings about dodgy CGI, and whether our hosts are fully converted to a speedy superhero and a thousand-year-old elf who discovers feelings.

    The Mandalorian and The Magicians

    This week, Ellen and Becca cross the sci-fi/fantasy divide again with two not actually dissimilar shows about reluctant heroes, complicated found families, and worlds where having power does NOT mean everything works out. Ellen dives into The Magicians, from Brakebills and Fillory to the show’s darker take on magic, including why spells, quests and enchanted worlds do not automatically fix your problems. Meanwhile, Becca heads to a galaxy far far away with The Mandalorian, talking Baby Yoda, bounty hunters, space western vibes, Star Wars lore, and why a man in a helmet manages to have an emotional arc with a small green alien, who acts a bit like a Gremlin.

    Attack on Titan and Star Trek

    In their first ever episode, best friends Becca and Ellen cross the sci-fi–fantasy divide with Attack on Titan and Star Trek (2009). Ellen discovers that anime can be epic, gripping and considerably more graphic than expected, while Becca finds that Star Trek offers is so much more than spaceships flying around and shooting things. They discuss incredible soundtracks, favourite characters, Titan-induced trauma, ingenious ODM gear, alternate timelines and why it's the people in these stories who make all the difference.  Support the show Thank you for listening!
