Minisode 17: Xena Comics (Road Warrior)

/

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, it’s time for some comic relief! Vera, Katie, and Livy are dipping their toes into the exciting world of Xena comics in Minisode 17: Xena Comics (Road Warrior), in which we talk about the new run of Dynamite comics and the VERY IMPORTANT PANELS the fandom wholeheartedly embraced. We discuss our own (limited!) history with comics, how supplementary media factors into the ‘what is canon’ debate, and the awesomeness of opening up the world of Xena to female and non-binary creatives. Plus: Zo-Zo, the inevitable Virgil comics, and Virtual Xenite Retreat has our hearts forever!

Minisode 16: Gentleman Jack

/

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, put on your top hats, sink your coal pits, and be sure to pack your largest thermometers! Vera, Katie, and Livy are off to Yorkshire in Minisode 16: Gentleman Jack. We discuss all things Anne Lister: the historical figure, her coded diaries, the academic who decrypted them, and the HBO/BBC period drama that brought her trailblazing story to life. Plus: Anne the capitalist, what a time this was for lewks, so many Ann(e)s, the swagger, crumpet acting, queer Outlander, British actors Vera hates, A Touch of Cloth, and our favorite cosplay guessing game: are you Gentleman Jack or are you the Babadook?

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, resistance is futile! Vera, Katie, and Livy are assimilated and loving it in Minisode 15: Seven of Nine. In another of our special minisodes no one asked for, we discuss our newest obsession, our fannish histories with the Star Trek franchise, how Seven is the quarantine heroine we deserve, and the evolution of the character from Voyager to Picard. Plus: the many parallels between Janeway/Seven and Xena/Gabs, is Seven’s catsuit problematic?, Janeway’s ‘up hair,’ the Bërg, our first celebrity encounters, Seven vs. Six, and BJAYZL!!!

Minisode 14: Modern AU Pitch-a-thon!

/

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, we’re breaking into showbiz! Join us for Minisode 14: Modern AU Pitch-a-thon! where Vera and Livy role-play as a Hollywood writing team pitching a truckload of modern-set Xena stories to development executive Katie. Will she greenlight the show about Xena and Gabs as members of the US Women’s National Soccer Team who find love on the path to Olympic glory? Or will she give the go-ahead to the show where Xena is a moody teen with dyed black hair who must fight the dark forces of Ares in between shifts at her mother’s kitschy Greek restaurant? Maybe she’ll go for the one where Xena and Gabs start a podcast… You’ll just have to listen to find out!

Minisode 13: Best Xena Eps of Xena (a.k.a. We Hate Lists!)

/

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, Vera, Katie, and Livy’s friendship is sorely tested as we force ourselves to pick the ten best Xena episodes of Xena (as opposed to the best Gabs eps, which we picked in the previous podcast). Join us for Minisode 13: Best Xena Eps of Xena (a.k.a. We Hate Lists!) as we argue over what makes a Xena episode a Xena episode, why fake trilogies are not allowed, and why any episode with Cyrene is automatically best. Plus: are bunny teeth an automatic disqualifier?, the episode where Xena looks the prettiest, SHE DOESN’T EVEN GO HERE, and the Ten Best Satrina Eps, duh.
