Lunar Sea Spire

GC13, Ken, and Hunter discuss  Cheeseburger Backpack , the first and last appearance of the site and podcast’s namesake: the Lunar Sea Spire. Also, right at the start of the episode, some of the big news ( #StevenBomb 2.0 and Mr. Jones-Quartey’s departure ) is brought up. The appearance of Garnet and Pearl in the background of a page of  Batgirl  also brings up the topic of the Crystal...

GC13 and Hunter discuss the second episode of the series: Laser Light Cannon and discover an interesting fact: the second and second-to-last episodes of the season both involve Steven riding onto the beach to save the Crystal Gems. Is this a coincidence, or are the sneople at it again? Has the question of why the homeworld sent a Red Eye, a seemingly antiquated piece of technology finally been ans...

Ken and GC13 stave off the hiatus blues by discussing the first episode of the series:  Gem Glow . As the first episode in the series,  Gem Glow  carries the burden of being entertaining while still introducing viewers to the key concepts, and we think it manages that task quite well. Steven loves Cookie Cats. Do you want to try one? There are some recipes floating around the Internet for how to m...

GC13, Dakota, and Ken discuss the mobile game for Steven Universe, Attack the Light. It’s a fun dungeon crawl RPG with excellent blurbs from all of the characters. What more could you want for $3? Each character has their specific uses in battle, and if you really want to win a fight you can fuse the Crystal Gems into Alexandrite and smack everyone down. Of course Dakota also has to come out...

GC13, Ken, and Hunter discuss the new episode,  Reformed . With Dakota gone, Ken has a chance to take revenge for the  Shirt Club podcast . GC13 also can’t say numbers well. The personality quirks of the Crystal Gems are discussed, as is the temple and the writing process of a Steven Universe episode. (When talking about the writing process,  this interview is mentioned.) Gem forms are also...

Ken, GC13, and Dakota talk about the second Lamar Abrams / Hellen Jo episode to air in a row:  Love Letters , and Ken delivers a full-throated defense of the previous episode:  Shirt Club . We get the introduction of Sadie’s mother, some actual characterization for Jamie, and even some more adorable interaction between Steven and Connie. We also get food for thought: is Kansas really a film...

GC13 (aka TheRealGC13), Dakota, and Hunter discuss the last season one episode to air ,  Shirt Club . With season one finally finished (and after only three season two episodes have aired), it is officially  on . It may have aired a bit out of order, but even if there’s some disagreement over how good the episode is, everyone’s glad we got  Shirt Club . Having a bit more time with Mayo...

GC13, Ken, and Dakota discuss another of our season-one refugees :  Story for Steven . Oddly enough for an episode without any fusing, fusion Gems are discussed quite a bit. Sour Cream (and the now likely identity of his father) is also discussed, as is his (probably half-) brother, the dark lord Onion. Gem outfits and episode synopses also get a fair amount of talk time. Next week we’ll be...

GC13, Ken, Dakota, and Hunter discuss the crossover between Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa:  Say Uncle . Many laughs were made out loud, and if you dislike  Say Uncle then Ken will find you. Clarence and Codename: Kids Next Door – and attempts to build support for a new Galactic Kids Next Door series – come up. The group also discusses the new Steven Universe game on mobile: Attack the Light ....

GC13, Ken, and Dakota discuss  Joy Ride , the second episode to air which was produced as part of season two. The upcoming crossover episode between Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa,  Say Uncle , also comes up: get ready, it’s coming! Are Sour Cream and Onion step-brothers or half-brothers? Did we see Peridot walking down the road as Steven and the cool kids drove past? Can the Crystal Gems...

Ken, GC13, and Hunter discuss  Open Book , the first of three season one episodes being aired with the season two episodes. Connie’s behavior as a representation of fandoms in general is explored. Also, when did  you realize what was going on in the episode? Did the Crewniverse miss a good opportunity to introduce a recurring antagonist for Rose’s room? Scoring a solid B,  Open Book ce...

With #StevenBomb over, GC13 and Ken get their final thoughts in on the event. While the event was intense for lore, with all of the “filler” (if there is such a thing in Steven Universe) cut out, we’re still left with plenty of questions. Perhaps most importantly, there’s now plenty of hype for the show going into season two. There are so many chickens that haven’t co...

Ken and GC13 discuss the season two premier of Steven Universe and the last episode of the #StevenBomb,  Full Disclosure. A rare occurrence! Ken and GC13 agree on an episode for the first time (not counting the finale, which was too amazing for anyone to dislike)! Of course the discussion goes back to  The Return and  Jailbreak briefly, but we manage to stay on topic most of the time. Now that #St...

GC13, Dakota, Ken, and Hunter discuss the big season-one finale of Steven Universe: The Return and  Jailbreak . It happened, and it was huge. There’s so much to talk about in this episode that it’s hard to list. Jasper as a villain, the relative strength of Peridot’s ship compared to other homeworld ships, the Planet of the Pearls, the imprisonment of Malachite, how much everyone...

Dakota, GC13, Ken, and Hunter discuss Political Power , the latest episode dropped as part of #StevenBomb. The Steven Universe community is falling dangerously behind in fan art: we still haven’t received any viking Pearl fan art, and now we need fan art of Mayor Dewey as Batman. With  The Return and  Jail Break just a day away it’s hard to think of anything else, but we all take time...

Dakota, GC13, and Ken continue to cover #StevenBomb, discussing  The Message and the possible continuation of Greg’s music career. Also, we bring you our hard-hitting report on the #TelevisionGate scandal currently sweeping the fandom. Tomorrow we will continue our daily #StevenBomb coverage with an episode on  Political Power .

Ken, GC13, and Dakota kick off our daily #StevenBomb coverage with a discussion of Rose’s Scabbard . How do immortal beings cope with the loss of a loved one? What was the deal with the pyramid temple in  Serious Steven ? Pearl: threat or menace? Be sure to check back daily as we cover the previous day’s episode!

In th e fifth episode of the podcast, GC13, Ken, and Hunter discuss  Marble Madness and the impending #StevenBomb. Peridot: cute bureaucrat or cutest bureaucrat? Will Pearl gain the secondary title of crab mom, or is she simply being dramatic? Why is the homeworld returning  now ? Is there a point in dancing around a (spoiler warning)  new character’s name if you’re just going to say i...

In the fourth episode of the podcast, Ken, GC13, and Hunter go over  Maximum Capacity . It looks like Amethyst may have taken a hit to her popularity but is still holding on. Other questions asked are: Could Greg have done better if he had never met Rose? How long has Steven lived with the Crystal Gems? Is our paragon, Mayor Dewey, ready to become a villain?

In the third episode of the podcast, GC13, Ken, and Dakota discuss  Winter Forecast , but not before discussing the big news of the show’s upcoming crossover with fellow Cartoon network program Uncle Grandpa . Also discussed are Garnet’s future vision, her status as a fusion, and a continuation of last week’s discussion about the lighthouse gem, the gem on the money, and the gem...

In the second episode of the podcast Hunter joins the crew after losing a Super Smash Brothers tournament.  Horror Club is the subject of this week’s podcast, and the crew has a lot of questions: what should the Ronaldo x Sadie ship be named, why is Ronaldo so weird, and what does the diamond mean? Things get so confusing, even the meanings of “earliest” and “latest”...

In the first episode of our podcast, Takuza, MexicanGameboy, and GC13 discuss  On the Run and what could be coming at the end of season one. Is the Kindergarten the full extent of the homeworld’s plans for Earth, or was there more to it? What was Lapis Lazuli doing on Earth? How did the corruption occur? Finally, and most importantly, there is an urgent call for fan art: please make your bes...
