Listen Here!

The Steven Universe four-week special ‘In Too Deep’ starts NEXT WEEK!! Are you PUMPED?!?!

• We break down the trailer for ‘In Too Deep’ and speculate about Malachite’s return, the truth about the Diamond Authority, and just what is that hand in the last shot???
•  It’s Connie’s intro episode! Snowy breaks down everything that makes Connie such an awesome character
• Consent as a theme is woven into very subtle places throughout the show, as mutual respect and healthy relationships are set up and explored
• We take a close look at the Pyramid Temple and speculate more on the history of the Diamond Authority
• There’s a bit of overlapping dialogue in ‘Serious Steven’ and we both freak out about it. So natural!!!
• ‘Bubble Buddies’ features the first of many positive LBTQA+ messages by showing a lesbian couple with their adopted son during the parade sequence
• We get sidetracked discussing the censorship of Rose and Pearl’s fusion dance in the UK, and how weird it is considering some of the other fusion dances we’ve seen! What do YOU think is the sexiest fusion dance so far?
• What are you most looking forward to from 'In Too Deep'???
