S1E23. Peter Pan and the Lost Episodes
Thursday Dec 13, 2018
Thursday Dec 13, 2018
You've probably never considered that somewhere out there, an adult human being could ramble on excitedly about Peter Pan for hours on end. Well, it would shock you how much of this episode had to be trimmed down, because Diana is precisely that adult human being. But don't worry! We also talk about other, more interesting topics to help you get through this episode! Like Horoscopes, The Craft, Jumanji, Hogwarts Houses, and Avalon's namesake! But mostly, this is the deep dive you never asked for, with love from Diana to JM Barrie.

This week it's Avalon's turn to nerd out, this time over the TV show Supernatural. This episode is jam packed with shipping, fangirling, and ends with a very elegant game of FMK. Along the way we also recap all the good Coheed and Cambria happenings, the reason why Avalon has been having sex dreams about Matt Mercer, and how Diana can always find a way to relate anything to the TV show Charmed. Strange changes in the audio this week were brought to you by Technical Malfunctions and Diana's Anxiety disorder.
