The King of Cups Expects a Picnic: Episode 10
At last, Kelly and Erin descend into season 6, for real! No stone is left unturned, no matter how irritating and enraging. It's all here! Abuse! Dumpster sex! Misogyny! Stupid plot lines! Misogyny! The destruction of characters and stakes! In these rageful times, partake of some trivial rage. Don't worry, the musical hardly gets mentioned.

The King of Cups Expects a Picnic: Episode 9
Doom looms upon the horizon, but before Erin and Kelly plunge into the belly of the beast of the later seasons, they decide to bring some light to the affair, and glean through the depths of those seasons to find things that are worthy of praise. In the process, they ruminate on the challenges of a perfect final season, what is commendable in the later seasons, and why they were inevitably drawn back in defiance of the very real pain they endured. Mostly, though, they focus on Selfless, and the sorrow and the fury of Anya. What revelations are held within? Well, there's only one way to find out!

The King of Cups Expects a Picnic: Episode 7 Part 1
The cavalcade of guests and the cavalcade of two-parters continues, as Erin and Kelly are joined by Ben, the secondary subject! Join them as they plum Ben's brain, consider why one might or might not have watched Buffy back in the day, play the team game, reveal how lengthy the gap between recording and release actually is, and many other topics of deep concern. Bonus: Kelly unwittingly coins the term "man-evolent," and no one, not even he, notices.
