Natasha only watches cartoons. Jessica only watches live-action dramas. In this podcast, they each try to make the other have an epiphany about a show they wouldn't normally watch... and just maybe become a life-long fan of the other's genre of choice. New episodes on the 14th and the 28th of every month!

59. Watching Dungeon Meshi to Kinkshame Laios

Aug 14 2024 48 mins

Subtitle: Don't worry, he deserves it. This week, Natasha makes Jessica watch Dungeon Meshi, an anime that is half Dungeons & Dragons and half cooking show. Join us as we discuss what a weird little freak Laios is, all the monsters they are going to eat (...out?), and the many moral quandaries of this anime's plot line. We also discuss some D&D stuff like what it m

58. Watching 3rd Rock From the Sun for the Satirical Undertones

Jul 14 2024 60 mins

This month, Jessica makes Natasha watch 3rd Rock From the Sun, a questionable sitcom about aliens coming to Earth to fuck humans. Now, was that the actual premise of the show going in? Unknown. But it certainly is what the show is about. Listen to us debate whether or not this show knows it could be satire with just a smaaaaaaaaaaaaalllll little push, what the family dynamic here i

57. Watching Gangsta to Solve the Soup Mystery

Jun 14 2024 61 mins

In this episode, Natasha makes Jessica watch the pilot of Gangsta, an anime that is less about gangs than its title would suggest. We discuss the weird way this show represents women, the difference between the sub and the dub, and how Worick & Nicolas come off in the pilot versus how their characters develop throughout the show. Additionally, we dive into the real central plot

56. Watching Ginny & Georgia in Support of Black Widows Everywhere

May 14 2024 72 mins

This week, Jessica makes Natasha watch Ginny & Georgia, a teen drama that is also... a crime show? We discuss this show's fantastic use of flashbacks, the way Georgia and Ginny parallel each other, and the use of passion vs. power. Will Natasha exercise their power to say no to this show? Or will the passion pull them in? You'll have to listen to find out. Follow Natasha at twi

55. Watching Scott Pilgrim Takes Off to Date the Evil Exes

Apr 14 2024 51 mins

This week on Episode Epiphanies, Natasha makes Jessica watch Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, a Scott Pilgrim cartoon about... Scott Pilgrim. (We do spoil the plot of this show in a pretty big way, so warnings all around.) We discuss Ramona's reputation as a manic pixie dream girl, Scott's questionably platonic bed-sharing with Wallace, and Netflix's hot guy algorithm. (Netflix thinks I am

54. Watching Wings and Missing the References

Mar 28 2024 48 mins

This week, Jessica makes Natasha watch Wings, a super nostalgic sitcom from the 90s and a Cheers spinoff! We discuss how the jokes in this show are dated but not so much that we wouldn't still hear them today, how darling little sitcoms like this are just here for the vibes, and the many, many references in this episode that went over our heads. Who are these people? What did t

53. Watching Fionna and Cake Because It’s a Mood

Mar 14 2024 53 mins

This week on Episode Epiphanies, Natasha makes Jessica watch Fionna and Cake, an Adventure Time spin-off that is somehow not a nightmare realm. Listen to us chat about the extremely accurate depiction of Millennial/Gen Z work life, casual gossip about your office coworkers, how to teach a horse to sit, and the extreme Mood of this episode. It is bliss not to be plagued by nightmare

52. Watching One Tree Hill for the Insane Marriage Plot

Feb 14 2024 85 mins

This week, Jessica makes Natasha watch One Tree Hill, a show that is ostensibly a Shakespeare soap opera about basketball. (How I wish that was a joke.) Join us as we discuss the epic highs and lows of high school basketball (yes, I know this is the wrong show), how much we hate Dan Scott (the years may pass, but my hatred for Dan does not), and the whole gamut of relationship dram

BONUS: Rambling Off-Topic for the Bit

Jan 28 2024 18 mins

In this very special bonus episode, you get to hear a bunch of bullshit that we cut from previous episodes. Like our opinions on how on topic we normally are. Our love of the shark cannibal. Durpleton the giraffe who I personally created in my nightmares. The amount of time we spend talking about pitching to Netflix. A very likely entirely inaccurate depiction of how the Christmas

51. Watching Steven Universe for the Lesbian Fusions

Jan 14 2024 71 mins

This week on Episode Epiphanies, Natasha makes Jessica watch Steven Universe, a cute little cartoon about magic gemstones who commit genocide. Journey with us as we discuss Rose Quartz's character arc, disagree over the moral of the first episode and ultimately land on an on-topic sign-off. (Props to Natasha for this whole episode being amazingly on-topic because I promise you, our
