    Agatha All Along – S01E06 – Familiar by Thy Side (MCUniverse) Oct 20, 2024

    With Teen's full backstory revealed, Elysia and Jean make sure none of the exquisite, heart-breaking details passed you by – including all the clues in his room, in the past and now, and telling Easter eggs from his research into Agatha – following anunexpected character cameo. How do the pieces of all these witches' ("possessive plural") lives fit together, how real is Rio, and what excuse will Elysia find to shoehorn in a Man-Thing mention? All is answered within.

    Have you seen the biggest R-rated movie in the world yet? John joins Jean and Elysia to jump straight into the spoilers (00:09:27), looking at the highpoints of the film, and the biggest reactions from their theaters – plus John gets some comic recs.

    Then Elysia and Jean talk through the big Marvel news out of Comic Con (00:52:11), before jumping back to Deadpool & Wolverine (01:17:13) for a full recap, deep dive into the cameos, and look at how the lore might affect the rest of the MCU going forward.

    Prep for Agatha: All Along with Witches' Road (2016), and get to know Agatha Harkness

    Jump back to an origin story, like Ororo: Before the Storm (2022)

    Oneshot – Interview with the Vampire S1&2 Jul 08, 2024

    Kristina from Vampire Insider joins Elysia to talk about the best show on TV that you might not yet be watching: Interview with the Vampire on AMC+ (and temporarily Netflix, later this year) – beginning with a spoiler-free look at that series for anyone who's still deciding whether or not it's for you.

    And then we bite into the highs and heartbreaks of both seasons of the show, and the rest of AMC's Immortal Universe, plus the Vampire Chronicles books by Anne Rice – but we save book-spoiler-based speculation about what might be coming in the confirmed season 3 for a special section at the end. After a few bonus rounds of Bite-Bone-Burn, of course.
