Airdate: September 11, 2024 Wynonna Earp last graced our screens in 2021. After four wonderful seasons, the cast and crew road off in to the sunset with their happy endings.

Airdate: May 8, 2024 The summer movie season launches with The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. This film is a love letter to stunt performers with amazing action sequences that include a new Guinness World Record. But without those scenes, does the script hold up?

Airdate: December 16, 2020 The Broadway musical, The Prom, was groundbreaking. During the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, the same-sex kiss threw conservatives into a frenzy. While the idea behind a lesbian wanting to take her girlfriend to prom is not groundbreaking in and of itself, but the fact that in 2020 we are still discussing it - is. Ryan Murphy gives his take on the show with a star-studded cast for the Netflix film. **Spoiler Warning**

We're honored to have the talented artist back to discuss the 5th anniversary of All About E and a lot of behind-the-scenes tidbits.

Airdate: October 14, 2020 Featuring standalone episodes, Black Mirror has become a hit for Netflix. While most episodes are darker in tone, San Junipero is one of the few with a happy ending. We discuss why San Junipero is a metaphor for reality. It's not the place that brings you happiness - it's the relationships we make within it. **Spoiler Warning**

EPISODE #110: REBEL MOON PART TWO THE SCARGIVER (2024) REVIEW Airdate: April 24, 2024 Rebel Moon returns with the return Kora & her team to defend the small farming moon.

Airdate: July 15, 2020 Kevin Bachelder is a sci-fi fan at heart. Being the fangirls that are, we had to talk to this Buffy/Earper and get to know the man behind the twitter account. What we found was a man willing to share his memories, his infectious laugh, moderating moments, and what it felt like to have Anna Silk play a character named after him. Most importantly, we learned Kevin truly is how he portrays himself on social media. He's kind, and he's such a joy to talk to... even if he is a Red Sox fan. :)

Giving you everything that an in person convention could, from games to fan/guest panels, and much, much more.

Airdate: June 17, 2020 From teddy bears to pitch forks and Elton John, Killing Eve's Season 3 hit out televisions early because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We discuss "The Good, The Bad, The Cute... the unicorn poop" of the third season and what they hope for in season four. **Spoiler Warning**

| 006: An Interview With Holly Winebarger | 03 Jun 2020 | 00:50:48 | |
Airdate: June 3, 2020 Our first ever interview is with Holly Winebarger, a woman we admire for her strength, tenacity and her drive to help create safe environments for the Queer Community. She was one of the founders of ClexaCon, the mind behind QFX Events and part of the team behind QLikeU. She never seems to stop fighting for representation we all deserve. That is why we felt compelled to make her our first interview and release it during Pride Month 2020. Rated Explicit for language. Please note: There were some technical difficulties with the audio on this interview, but we felt the information within was too important and needed to be shared.

| 109: Rebel Moon Pt 1 A Child of Fire: Make Up Your Own Mind | 10 Apr 2024 | 00:31:59 | |
Airdate: April 10, 2024 Rebel Moon Part One launched on Netflix last December. With mediocre, to downright horrible reviews, we were hesitant to sit down for the two-hour installment. While the story of the oppressed raising an army to fight against tyranny isn't new, the way it's delivered usually makes it stand out. But did Rebel Moon deliver or fall flat? ***Spoiler Warning***

| 003A: The Half Of It (2020) Review | 06 May 2020 | 00:30:32 | |
Airdate: May 6, 2020 Thanks to our twitter feed being abuzz with everything The Half Of It - we needed to see it. The film, written and directed by Alice Wu, it's a brilliantly written and performed coming of age story. We'd love to say more - but SPOILER ALERT! **Spoiler Warning**

| 003: Buffy & the Shot Felt ‘Round the World | 27 Apr 2020 | 00:31:57 | |
Airdate: May 2, 2020 The relationship of Tara Maclay and Willow Rosenberg gave us representation we were sorely lacking in primetime television. During the 7 Seasons of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, the writing always gave us hope for a brighter and accepting future. That was dashed with one bullet, one window shattering, one phrase "Your shirt." Was this the beginning of the "bury your gays" trope or just a beloved character being taken too soon? We discuss it all. **Spoiler Warning**

| 002: Xena: A Cultural Icon for LGBTQ+ | 26 Apr 2020 | 00:36:18 | |
Airdate: May 2, 2020 Xenites around the world know the power her yell wielded & the effect the show had on us all. In this episode, we discuss Xena: Warrior Princess and what the show meant to us. The character was only supposed to last three episodes on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. However, once Xena graced the small screen, it was clear she was meant for greater things. The spinoff eclipsed Hercules to become a cult favorite that continues to garner fans to this very day. In a time when representation was controlled by corporations, politicians and fear - Xena pushed boundaries and gave us something to hold on to. **Spoiler Warning**

Airdate: March 27, 2024 The Ghostbusters are back! The newest release, Frozen Empire, is currently in the theaters. So, we're tackling the 2021 movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife that fans raved was the sequel they asked for. Considering the 2016 female led film was regarded negatively, we wanted to see what set Afterlife apart from the other attempt to relaunch the franchise. ***Spoiler Warning***

| 107: A League of Their Own S1: The Truth Will Set You Free (Reair) | 13 Mar 2024 | 00:38:18 | |
Airdate: March 13, 2024 Original Airdate: September 7, 2022 Tubi announced a Wynonna Earp movie. Warrior Nun has been saved as a movie trilogy. We wanted to shine a light on another show that was renewed, but then Amazon dropped it without a second thought. We covered A League of Their Own in 2022. The series has become a cult hit and showcased diverse representation. Because of this, we felt it would be a good time to re-air that recording. ***Spoiler Warning***

| 105: Madame Web: A Misshapen Labyrinth of Studio Mess | 28 Feb 2024 | 00:35:08 | |
Airdate: February 28, 2024 Madame Web had the potential to connect all the spider-verse movies together. It could have used the name talent and propel forward a well thought out story. While some feel the film is horrific, we disagree. The web set up was perfectly symmetrical in its beauty... and Sony smashed it. ***Spoiler Warning***
| |||
| 104: Argylle: Secret Agent Kitty | 14 Feb 2024 | 00:33:34 | |
Airdate: February 14, 2024 Argylle, a handsome James Bond-esque spy, is a fictional character in Elly Conway's novels of the same name. Right? Dallas Bryce Howard, as Elly, leads the audience on a ride with twists, turns & cat flying stunts - all to find the truth. But are the answers something everyone will accept? We saw the film opening weekend, but will we see eye to eye on our rating? The answer might surprise you. ***Spoiler Warning***

| 103: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Original Film Slayer | 31 Jan 2024 | 00:29:03 | |
Airdate: January 31, 2024 Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a cult classic television show that broke barriers and laid the groundwork for many other projects. But it started with a campy film in 1992. In this Nostalgia vs Novelty episode, Sheila gets to see the film Kimberly has referenced repeatedly throughout their relationship. **Spoiler Warning** | |||
| 102: Warrior Nun S2: Adrial’s Risen & the Portal’s Open (Reair) | 17 Jan 2024 | 00:36:58 | |
Airdate: January 17, 2024 Original Airdate: January 11, 2023 Warrior Nun returns to answer several questions from the season one cliffhanger. Shorter by two episodes, does the second season pick up right where the previous one left off? Has the order survived the onslaught? We delve into these questions and the darker side of streaming... cancellations with no transparency. **Spoiler Warning**

| |||
| 100: Leave the World Behind & Avoid Unmanned Teslas | 20 Dec 2023 | 00:34:43 | |
Airdate: December 20, 2023 Leave the World Behind has an A-list cast, help from the Obamas & amazing source material in the original novel. An apocalyptic thriller that leaves heavily into the emotional and psychological rather than violent uprisings, the film should be a must see. But at 2 hours and 21 minutes, maybe the animals were right. There's something bad on the horizon when you click play. **Spoiler Warning**
| |||
| 099: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of a Really Long Movie | 06 Dec 2023 | 00:32:15 | |
Airdate: December 6, 2023 The Hunger Games original trilogy gave fans Katniss Everdeen as a powerful heroine against a formidable villain, President Snow. Lionsgate has given us a prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes to give the evil man his backstory. Snow always falls on top, but don't worry - we have a snowblower. **Spoiler Warning**

Airdate: November 9, 2023 Original Airdate: April 26, 2020 Having covered Juliet Landau's feature film A Place Among the Dead & the release of Slayers: A Buffyverse Story - it seemed like a great time to flashback to one of the most viewed episodes of Forever Fangirls: Buffy & the Shot Felt Round the World (Ep. 003). This episode discusses the bury your gays trope as well as the relationship between Willow and Tara. **Spoiler Warning**

Airdate: September 20, 2023 Beetlejuice hit the screens in 1988. In another Nostalgia -vs- Novelty episode, our hosts discuss how viewing the ghost with the most for the first time compared to seeing it after many years. Do the hosts Jump in the Line to dance with joy or did they call for an exorcist? No matter what, do not say his name three times. **Spoiler Warning**
| |||
| 093: Elemental: Opposites Attract | 06 Sep 2023 | 00:31:22 | |
Airdate: September 6, 2023 Elemental's trailer states "elements don't mix." But the film shows that air, water and earth blend just fine. Why is fire on the outskirts looking in? Does the film have a classic Pixar/Disney moral to the story that lands or falls flat? Forever Fangirls saw the film in theaters, but it launches on Disney+ September 2023. **Spoiler Warning**

Airdate: June 28, 2023 Haunted Mansion comes to the big screen... again. Does it scare up enough nostalgia from the parks and a story that made it worth seeing? July seemed like an odd release date, as we expected something closer to Halloween. We hit the theaters (instead of doom buggies) to see what the ghostly appeal of the film has. **Spoiler Warning**
