Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #120: Super Nanny

Join us as we discuss this year's Doctor Who Christmas special, The Return of Doctor Mysterio. This time the Doctor dives into the superhero genre, with a story of a masked vigilante known as The Ghost. Together, along with a reporter named Lucy; and River Song's former companion, Nardole; must stop body-snatching aliens from destroying the planet (or as the Doctor calls it, just another annual Christmas invasion).

*SPOILER ALERT*

The Empire is building a super weapon, one that has the power to destroy entire planets. It's up to Jyn Erso and a rag-tag group of rebels to gain the information the Rebellion needs to destroy the Death Star. Join us in our review of the latest in the Star Wars saga, Rogue One. May the squee be with us.

Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #118: What Are You Capable Of?

Winter finale season is here again, and once more our shows are leaving us squeeing and emotionally tangled in knots. 'Once Upon A Time' left us with Emma and Regina in an alternate universe (with Robin Hood!), the hooded figure of Emma's visions is supposedly Rumple and Belle's son, and Snow and Charming are stuck is a cycle of one awake-one asleep. Meanwhile, 'Agents of SHIELD' left us with Ghost Rider missing, Daisy is back with team Coulson, and May has been replaced with a Life Model Decoy. We're going to need this break to calm ourselves down.

The DC-TV universe (or as we call it, the Arrowverse) is complicated. With time travel, meta-humans, non-humans, The League of Assassins, people in masks, people who can fly...and that's barely scratching the surface. We talk about the good, the bad, the hilarious and downright frustrating; plus we give a mini-review of the new CW app, that allows us to stay up-to-date with our shows. Also, Rachel gives her recap of attending Kokomo-Con for the first time which included vendors, familiar faces and ending up as a cosplay judge! And a little bit of news too.

Mr. Hyde has taken control of Storybrooke (no thanks to Rumple), Emma's having visions of her death, and the Evil Queen is on the loose. Or as our heroes on 'Once Upon A Time' like to say, Thursday. Join us as we discuss the season 6 premier, including the introduction of some not-so-fairytale'esq characters, several sub-plots and how we think having a full season this time around will pan out. Plus news (coincidentally also from the Disney company) and some new month housekeeping.
