Oh, no it's the last time I get to see Jimmy in his hot fit from the credits of Vice Versa *quick someone make me a wallpaper for my phone or something*
The wait is over. The show is over. The podcast is here.
In this episode, we celebrated the sacred art of the rewatch, because yes, watching a show again totally counts as productivity (I don’t make the rules, I just enjoy them). It's especially true if you host a Podcast about media...we must consume all the media. We owe it to our listeners.
We took an emotional rollercoaster from the trauma tiggering memories of Last Twilight (seriously, it still hurts, okay?) to the rainbow-colored joy explosion that is Vice Versa.
Somewhere along the way while watching this show, I realised that M was right — it was worth the effort. Do we hate how right M was? It’s becoming a problem.
Or maybe we love it, and her, because it birthed this series of our Podcast and it was a lot of fun.
And then, like any responsible podcast hosts with poor impulse control, we wandered straight into the minefield of fandom entitlement.
Did we make it out unscathed? Unclear. But we definitely have opinions, questionable metaphors, and I might have missed my point a couple of times (I'll find it eventually or hopefully you found it on your own).
So I guess my take-away from this is you should always tune in, rewatch responsibly, and remember: just because somethings hurt us, doesn't fit us on first glance or don't seem like they're worth the effort, doesn’t mean they won’t become your favourite comfort show, your weirdest inside joke, or the reason you’re suddenly emotionally invested in the romantic implications of a bunch of Lotus flowers.
