GC13 and Soren discuss  Escape of the Palisman from The Owl House. Who has Hexside pride? Luz does! Even if she spends all of her time walking around in a Glandus shirt. She also cares enough for Owlbert to fight the Bat Queen: the biggest palisman you’ve ever seen! And maybe one of the funniest too. By the way, if you’ve ever had trouble with your braces, then Soren has definitely fel...

GC13, Soren, and David discuss  Something Ventured, Someone Framed from The Owl House. Look, no one’s happy that it’s an episode based off of one character lying to another, but it’s times like this where’s it’s best to Be Like Bump: that guy doesn’t care about much of anything, does he? And that’s what we love about him. So whether you think Eda was a goo...

GC13, Soren, and David discuss  Once Upon A Swap from The Owl House. Whether you’re a fan of body swap episodes or not, this Freaky Fraturday mixup takes you to some strange places. Like the inside of a police station. But it’s still fun to see friends live out their friends’ lives, even if nobody has it as easy as anyone initially thought. Just… Maybe don’t eat the c...

GC13 and David discuss  Dating Season and  Anne vs Wild from Amphibia. Amphibia is a strange, messed up world. Between their bizarre, exploitative courtship rituals and their idyllic campgrounds with such wimpy amenities as  potable water , it’s a miracle they can get anything done. Luckily the episodes have back to back guest voice actors, and Anne has a peony princess bath bomb in her back...

GC13, Soren, and David discuss  Lost in Language from The Owl House. Spoiler alert if you’re not up to date with The Owl House, but Lumity began here. Why be someone’s rival if you can befriend and romance them instead? And in addition to setting us down that path, we also met the Blight Twins. They may not be at their nicest here, but they play Luz like a fiddle and we get to see some...

GC13 and David discuss the Susie and the Babies arc from Summer Camp Island’s fifth season. Three more babies now know their magical identifies (or lack thereof): Oliver, Alexa, and Lem. Hopefully Susie can keep Alexa and Pepper separated, or else things might get lucky. And to top it all off now we might even have a hint that maybe the summer camp is actually old, like it appeared to be bef...

GC13 and David discuss  Sprig vs Hop Pop and  Girl Time from Amphibia. The Plantar family sure has some crazy rituals, doesn’t it? They don’t need your suggestions for that, but Hop Pop will be happy to read them anyway. Jeremy really taught him a lot. And Anne finally got that stick out of her hair. For just one episode, we knew what it could look like. Rest in peace Slippy. (He slipp...

GC13 and David discuss  Hooty’s Moving Hassle from The Owl House. Hooty’s a big boy house, and he’s got the legs to prove it! When he’s been conjured, anyway. Come to think of it, there’s an awful lot we don’t know about the way the conjuring works… And Penstagram. Maybe we’re better off never having that one explained to us, actually. At least Tom t...

GC13 and David discuss the Oscar and the Monsters arc from Summer Camp Island’s fifth season. This time we have not one, but two retcons to consider. Maybe three. It would seem that Summer Camp Island owes its philosophy on worldbuilding more to Adventure Time, where that came much later in the game. Not that any of that stops Summer Camp Island from being awesome. Stuart might disagree, but...

GC13 and David discuss  Anne Theft Auto and  Breakout Star from Amphibia. Well, Anne Theft Auto was a heartfelt episode forging a connection between Anne and her adoptive frog family. Who couldn’t love that? Once Anne got to reading about Bessie’s history, she couldn’t put the book down, and we couldn’t put this episode away either. Then, of course, we got the acne episode,...

GC13 and David discuss  Covention from The Owl House. No, it’s not the most fun title to pronounce, but it’s the first we see of Lilith and the Emperor’s Coven, and oh boy is that a good battle between sisters (even if it’s not the safest event to watch from the stands). But whether you’re part of the Swag Coven or the Cat Coven (the Swag Cat Coven, perhaps?), the imp...

GC13 and David discuss the Susie and Her Sister arc from Summer Camp Island’s fifth season. Susie started out so nice and happy. What went wrong? Perhaps she was never meant to live in the moors… Taking that immortality potion probably wasn’t a great idea though. Well, at least Mildred got to live her dream of being a hot corn girl before she lost her family. Hopefully everything...

GC13 and David discuss  The Domino Effect and  Taking Charge from Amphibia. So, we may not know why Anne’s phone battery was able to last so long, but at least we’ve finally found a source of power for it. Maybe in some later episode we’ll finally find out what Suspicion Island secretly was… Probably not a robot. Probably. We may not have surprises, but we don’t need...

GC13, Soren, and David discuss  The Intruder , a very important episode of The Owl House. Not only does  The Intruder start Luz down the path of magic, it also introduces us to Eda’s curse, something that has defined her adult life and will come up again and again throughout the series. And then there’s King. Whether he’s really an author or not, he’ll always be the king of...

GC13 and David discuss the Betsy and the Ghost arc from the fifth season of Summer Camp Island. Are you ready for sad? Because if you remember the first season of Summer Camp Island, you know that this can’t have a happy ending. Poor Betsy… At least now we know Susie wasn’t interfering with Betsy’s love life. On purpose, anyway. This arc’s placement in the season is q...

GC13 and David discuss  Hop Luck and  Stakeout from Amphibia. Yep, it’s official: Amphibia is a cynical show. And yet everything is so bright and colorful, so fun and funny. Anne may be missing a shoe, but for better or worse she’s with her family, and she is taking a firm stand on the evils of pineapples on pizza. We may not know how she had any energy drink left for her stakeout, we...

GC13, Soren, and David discuss  I Was A Teenage Abomination from The Owl House. Well, we’re finally here: SCHOOL. Is school in the Burning Isles as horrifying as it is in our world? It looks like it. At the very least it’s headed up by a principal who may or may not have murderous intentions towards our teenage abomination, Luz. But it’s okay! She’s banned from school, so s...

GC13 and David discuss the Barb and the Spotted Bears arc from the fifth season of Summer Camp Island. What starts out as a cute bedtime story (about putting spotted bears to bed, oddly enough) turns into a very important-feeling story about a pair of interlopers coming to the island to eat a jelly pool. With the spotted bears asleep on the job, the task of defending the island falls on Barb and h...

GC13 and David discuss  Cane Crazy and  Flood, Sweat and Tears from Amphibia. Anne is trapped in a frog world, and while we do have our cartoony fun (let’s stop and admire the craftmanship on this clock before we throw it at a monster), Anne is becoming part of a frog family as well. It’s just that, with her warm-blooded body, she might not be the best roommate for a cold-blooded frog....

GC13, Soren, and David discuss  Witches Before Wizards from The Owl House. Right in the second episode The Owl House decides to rip off the chosen one bandaid. Not everything can be Fallout 2, we guess… It’s just as well, since Luz would have been a pretty bad bad girl chosen one. So, whether we ever see a wizard again or not, I think we all learned a valuable lesson today: never trust...

GC13 and David discuss Amphibia’s first two episodes:  Anne or Beast? and  Best Fronds . Well if The Owl House started off a little oddly, Amphibia seems to start off like it intends to continue—and that might just include a lot of jokes based on fakeouts. So Anne has been whisked off to another world for a magical adventure, with nothing but her trusty cellphone by her side? No, this isn&#8...

GC13, Soren, and David discuss  A Lying Witch and a Warden from The Owl House. Yes, The Owl House has finally come to the Lunar Sea Spire podcast. This is the first GC13 has ever seen of The Owl House, but David and Soren are quite familiar with the series. So come with us into this magical world. Stay out of the conformatorium (do you guys get it? It’s like her summer camp!) but otherwise,...

GC13 and David discuss  Pepper and the Fog , the (very bizarre) finish to the fourth season of Summer Camp Island. Yeah, did you understand any of that? There’s a lot to unpack.  Pepper and the Fog doesn’t just feature a new voice actor for Pepper, it features a new outlook too. Now he really likes Susie, and wants to read a poem to her. When did all of that happen? At least we got to...

GC13 and David discuss  BITT Prime from Glitch Techs, the last episode of the second season (and probably the series). We’re sad to see Glitch Techs go, but we’ve heard the story over and over again—this sort of thing happens a lot, and it hurts when it happens to such an ambitious and well-received show. We can hope for Glitch Techs: Enter the Florpus to happen in fifteen years though...

GC13 and David discuss  Hall of Mooms from Summer Camp Island. This episode told us so much, but it was great seeing all of the witches in Hedgehog’s ancestry (and one very mysterious ancestor you may or may not have seen!). It even told us that, at one time, there were witch hunters! Still, Summer Camp Island isn’t the kind of show to put our characters into mortal danger from witch h...
