The King of Cups Expects a Picnic: Episode 12, Part 1
It's time for Kelly and Erin to face down season 7! What's wrong with season 7, you ask? Kelly has a handy list to help you figure it out. Yes, the gang's all here--the First, Buffy's job, misguided token representation, toes, the capabilities of Google Docs, Dewey Crowe, lame fights, Kennedy, awful jokes, bizarre misogyny, a continually growing but still distressingly small catalog of laughs, pen tossing, and exasperated sighs. Oh, so many exasperated sighs. And there's a cliffhanger too!

The King of Cups Expects a Picnic: Episode 11
With the specter of season 7 still looming, the pair elect to lighten things up, and do a deep dive on the other primary GF character: the beloved Tara. What did this character mean to the show and beyond? What was the deal with Dawson and his creek? Thrill, as two straight people try to fumble their way through the many gay issues raised!

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 8
After a schedule adjustment, Erin and Kelly close out their series of guests with Rene Lake of Haunted Grave Books, and her husband Chris. Points of discussion: vampires, Dracula, vampires, vampires, Lie to Me, and then some more vampires. Later, a clever gambit is employed to spare Erin watching the remainder of season 5, as the four discuss what was and might have been of that season. Listen onward!
