Submit ReviewThis episode shows that having the high ground does not always provide you with the advantage. Xena may have met her equal match in Morlock, and teams up with a rebellious young amazon who, you guessed it, has a lot to learn. Renee O’Connor returns to the directors chair, bringing us one of the most unique and notable fight setpieces of the entire series. We're playing Jenga, and we're doing it Texas style!
We are joined by special guest and noted Xena incarnate Tami Potter (@WarriorPrincessCosplay) talk about Xena Warrior Princess Season 6 Episode 11: Dangerous Prey

After a heavy trilogy of action, intrigue and character growth, we take a step back to reconnect with life's simple pleasures, as Xena and Gabrielle help Ares go undercover as a farmer, and ask the hard hitting questions, like: How are ya at shovelin’ shit? In the wise words of Chris Sims: “There is a real giving up aspect to this episode.”

As the [lord of the] ring[s] trilogy comes to a close, we reflect on a lesson from the story of Beowulf: good things wont always be good. You can be in the black one day, and in the red the next. A nice guy today can be a real asshole tomorrow. And a two-person podcast can become a four-person podcast, as we are joined by our friends Sascha and Mary from Radio Amphipolis, the German Xena podcast! Join us all as we learn the difference between softness and weakness, and witness Xena and Gabrielle’s first proper kiss!

This episode shows that anyone can change. A warlord can turn into one of the good guys. A valkyrie can turn into a tree monster. Another valkyrie can turn into a fire. Amid these lessons, Ally learns about the MILF hunter, and Neil Gaiman returns to explain the true meaning of Beowulf. With Xena making the ultimate sacrifice and Gabby in the Gabbysleep, are our heroes burning an eternal flame, or did someone just put on a magical ring of power?

Xena Warrior Princess the show finally deals with the downsides of having killed off their comic relief.

This silly episode has everything. Manslaughter. Ethnic cleansing. The disappointing realization that your heroes are flawed people. It scared Chris so badly that he had to fake being sick for a month just to avoid having to watch it. Xena and Gabrielle find themselves on the receiving end of some desert hospitality, while Gabrielle contends with the fact that she’s a lot more warrior than bard these days.

The Gurkh store called, and they're running out of you! This episode strives to answer the question of our lifetime: Who's Gurkhan? Gabrielle wants vengeance, Xena wants Gabrielle's head to stay attached to her shoulders, and everyone wants to be Number One Wife. Just remember, when everyone is Gurkhan... no one will be. There's only one joke in this episode, so please enjoy: GURKHAN OFF!

London bridge is falling down, my fair lady! After over 5 years of watching executive producer Sam Raimi's hit action/adventure show Xena Warrior Princess, Chris and Ally are diving deeper into the noted horror auteur's filmography. Much like Ash was dropped into the medieval age, we've skipped the Evil Dead movies and dropped straight into Army of Darkness.

Xena has bent Odysseus's bow. She set in motion the murder of Julius Caesar. She heralded the birth of Jesus Christ. The throne of hell is vacant, but won't be for long. Will Xena accept her fate as the new ruler of all evil? Or will she claim yet another historical event for herself and orchestrate Lucifer's fall from heaven?

As Halloween approaches, there's only one thing to do: It's time for Xena to fight the devil! A hellmouth opened up in Xena's childhood home, turning it into a haunted house. But the spirits are not resting, and they're not in peace. There's ghosts, skeletons, demons, gross stuff.. It's as if Sam Raimi decided to make a television show.

Or, alternately, have you ever jerked it in the woods to a lake full of bathing Amazons? If so, you may be entitled to a death penalty! Xena and Gabrielle struggle to find the balance between ancient Amazon tradition and traditions of their own, while Joxer struggles to find the balance between his libido and common decency.

Chris reveals the secrets behind his top notch New Zealand accent and spits some hard facts about Amazon episodes of Xena, while Ally tries not to think about pirates. Finally, we welcome back Karl Urban in his fourth and final role on Xena as a caveman who appreciates the female form.

This week, we watch Married With Fishsticks, an episode so terrible it ended with two members of the creative team quitting the show entirely. Kinks are discovered, rude gestures are censored, and many a cringe is to be had as we endure this failed attempt at a retro backdoor pilot conveniently repurposed into what just might be THE worst episode of Xena Warrior Princess.

Becaues the writers of Hercules the Legendary Journeys have lost control of their show, so they go on a writers retreat to come up with some new material. Will the real Hercules (in disguise as noted antisemite Kevin Sorbo) be able to save the show? Or will the network just funnel all of their resources into Xena Warrior Princess?

As you know, if you die in Greece, you go to Tartarus. If you die in the Matrix, you die in real life. But if you die in India (noted land of exotic mystery), you get reincarnated. Xena has to face an enemy trying to mess with her karmic reincarnated self! It just makes sense! Come for the best use of a swear word on network television, stay for the in-depth discussion of death as a localized concept. From Gabby’s queerly subtextual haircut to Xena’s sapphic foot tattoo, this episode catapulted Xena the show from tentatively queer to overtly so.

In search of inner peace, Gabrielle leads Xena to a mystical and exotic land of snake charmers, sword swallowers, and a rainfall of dismembered limbs! We've been dreading this arc for years, but, devi or not, it's finally time to talk about Xena's trip to India. In this episode, Chris and Ally admit to some of their own mistakes while also exploring the mistakes of Xena Warrior Princess, a show that existed in a time where people had different cultural biases.
We're putting out a hot dad alert for Timothy Omundson, as well as a missing persons report for this show's sense of its own characters. Gabby has her abs out like she always does, but it feels different this time. Please, try to enjoy our take on Devi: INDIA STUFF.

Folks, a tragedy has struck. Pour one out for Gabrielle’s good outfit. The green sports bra is no more. Other than that, this episode is a one-off filler Cinderella story with bad wigs for Aphrodite, a possible Marx Brothers deep cut for Ally, and plenty of jokes for Chris to laugh at. See you at the crossroads...

This is episode of Xena Warrior Princess where everything about it is... just a little bit worse than it needed to be. It's a rehash of the last Hoarde episode, only this time a blonde, white woman is involved! So... it's different?? I guess? Chris and Ally deal with it, but aren't all that excited about it.

This Patreon-funded bonus episode is actually the pilot episode for Chris and Ally's spinoff show Monkey Business, where they talk about The New Legends of Monkey, a Journey to the West inspired netflix series. As Chris says, it is arguable "the most Xena show since Xena ended." Binge culture was the final nail in the coffin where the syndicated action pack tv show was laid to rest, but New Legends of Monkey definitely captures those low-budget New Zealand vibes. This podcast was... IRREPRESSIBLE!
This episode serves as a momentary distraction from what you were listening to before you laid ears on our disgusting yet ultimately forgettable voices.
We watched Episode 1 of The New Legends of Monkey.

Autolycus, Joxer and Meg team up to kidnap a baby, do some hijinks, and steal a priceless treasure, while Chris demonstrates his penchant for acronyms. Meanwhile, Ally is caught off guard by the genuine laugh this episode startled out of her, and a new Patreon goal is introduced.

Well, we’ve got yet another episode where Xena feels bad about her dark past, but this one actually slaps. Xena realizes that she has a copycat warlord following in her footsteps, while Gabrielle struggles with the nature of destiny and the possibility of not being in control of her own life. Chris and Ally also discuss the nature of warlord hats as they pertain to both ancient Greece and America in the year 2016.

This fortnight Chris and Ally talk about Locked Up and Tied Down, the horniest name for the least horny episode of Xena Warrior Princess. The show keeps forgetting its stance on murder. Sometimes, it’s the worst thing a person could do, while other times it’s just a fun thing to joke about while killing time. In any case, this episode says murder is bad, because Xena is arrested for murder, and just kinda goes with it.
Will she survive her life sentence on Shark Island prison? Can crabs really devour an adult human body? Find out on our latest episode: CRAB ISLAND! (also, for a fun drinking game, take a shot every time Ally says “Shark Island”, but please don’t blame us for any hangovers!)

Maybe she’s born with it — maybe it’s helmetrey! In these unprecedented times, Chris and Ally find themselves at an impasse, with Chris bemoaning this episode’s redundancy while Ally revels in its status as a major turning point.

"Within us all there are two Kevin Sorbos. It's terrible." While Xena was dealing with Hope, Hercules was dealing with Dahak. Chris and Ally promised they would never go back to the dark place that is Hercules the Legendary Journeys, but unfortunately, if they want to fully wrap up the Dahak arc, they're going to have to break that promise. Please forgive these humble, mohawked podcasters. Chris and Ally have a coincidence, Iaolus learns about the trolley problem, Bruce Campbell shows off how well-versed he is at horror, and Ally displays her uncanny ability to recognize any minor actor from Attack of the Clones.

Windmills, how do they work? After realizing that Gabrielle is alive, Xena returns to Potidea to find her, but stumbles across a rubber suit monster instead.

That awkward moment when you think you've traveled to a mystical land but actually you just went to Russia... so relatable. In the strangest and most controversial episode to date, Xena proves to have no real agency or autonomy in her own life. Despite telling a very interesting story about Xena's past (back in season 3), the show seems hell-bent on retconning all of it so they can shove Alti into the storyline. Chris says it best: "I don't know why much of this is happening... which I think is probably a flaw."

We're sorry, Xena, but your Gabby is in another underworld! Season 4 starts off with a weird bang, setting the tone of cultural appropriation that will wreak havoc on the rest of the season. Xena skitches into Amazon heaven to find her dead friend, and instead uncovers the evil plot of a dark figure from her dark past. Aka, tldr, not only was Xena a bloodthirsty warlord hell-bent on world domination; she was also corrupted by an evil witch!

Chris and Ally discuss episode 2 of Jack of All Trades (a lesser known action pack show starring Sam Raimi's golden boy, Xena's own Bruce Campbell): Sex and the Single Spy. Now that the status quo has been fully established, the show starts to stretch its legs, doubling down on the Scarlet Pimpernel hijinks and also turning out some very funny jokes, actually.

Coming to you live from quarantine, Chris and Ally jump forward to possibly the sickest episode of the entire show. It just felt right. After all the trials and tribulations of Dahak and Hope, it's nice to have a more realistic situation to deal with: Xena's got lice, Gabrielle's got a fungus, and Joxer's radish stew gave them both the shits.
This episode was so gross that even Chris, a self proclaimed Renee O'Connor stan, found himself questioning his chioces. Remember: even the nasties have to eat.

In lieu of having to watch and talk about hercules the legendary journey anymore, Chris and Ally decide to skip forward in time into something a little more... revolutionary! Jack of All Trades was a lesser known action pack show, and starred Sam Raimi's golden boy, Xena's own Bruce Campbell. It's the Scarlet Pimpernel/Gilmore Girls mashup that nobody really asked for or remembers, but there's always room in our hearts for just some unapologetically dumb swashbuckling hijinks.

Despite taking the time to proactively overcome her issues in multiple episodes now, Gabrielle seems to be struggling once again with the memory of her past misdeeds. Enchanted breasts and selective memory loss run rampant in this otherwise tedious clip show, which actually feels quite erotic on paper despite falling short in the execution. Considering what the show still has in store for Gabrielle, it feels valid enough to rehash her backstory. But was the least erotic sponge bath scene in television history really necessary?

Chris and Ally both survived their respective plane rides, so now they get to talk about an episode that is the most dear to us in all the world. It's 'When in Rome,' with stellar costumes, a surprising amount of historical accuracy, and a weird amount of rope bondage, for some reason. You also get Ally's choice Hugo Weaving impression, while Chris spills the tea on one-third of the Roman empire's fraught triumvirate. Also, Xena has to go to the bathroom...

Joxer, aka a "little nothing boy", is beaten within an inch of his life by a shady casino mogul. Sounds like a great set-up for some heist hijinks and absolute tomfoolery!

After the high point that was The Bitter Suite, the decline of Xena Warrior Princess continues with FORGIVENESS, an episode that is almost as bad as the dreadlocks/mullet wig combo that it features. Does forgiveness come from within, or does it come from within one specific urn? Chris finally admits that Gabrielle is blonde (you have to hear it to believe it), and the show itself seems to have either forgotten its recent musical episode all about the catharsis of forgiveness, or maybe just retconned it entirely.

Ally also brings up an important point that she, Chris, and all of you listeners seemed to have overlooked with regard to the nature of the Xena Warrior Princess episode availability. Is Joxer’s last name The Mighty? Who’s that hanging up by their underwear? And where oh where can a girl find a Hot Topic in ancient Greece?

Join Chris and Ally and special guest Cathy Leamy (@metrokitty) as they delve into the most sapphic episode of Xena to date. THE DEBT (part 1) sees our heroes travel from New Greeceland to Qin (pronounced Chin), which honestly just looks like a sepia New Greeceland that spilled some Pearl River Mart on itself. Xena is at her absolute surliest, which puts her in the perfect position to learn what it means to be soft and hard like the same time. We already told you, it's very sapphic.

Dust off your goatees and wear a headband directly across your forehead, because Chris and Ally are talking about the mirrorverse, babey!!! The Hercules: The Legendary Journeys episode called Stranger in a Strange World (season 4, episode 5) features Lucy Lawless as Xena. However, she's not like any Xena we've seen before! With all those "cheap signifiers of harlotry", she's more Xena as Harley Quinn than Xena Warrior Princess.
The concept of the mirrorverse trope is explored, and it's not entirely clear whether a mirror Xena would have been born evil, turned good for a little while, and then ultimately decided that it wasn't for her. Join us, won't you, as we do our best to tolerate Kevin Sorbo, laugh at Ares, the god of love, and wonder why the mirror Aphrodite isn't the goddess of hate, but instead is just... a boring normal person dressed like a formal Starfleet officer on shore leave.

Honestly there is just so much talk about fake baby tummies and real washboard tummies, but only because Dahak is apparently AN ACTUAL REAL LIFE RELIGION AND THIS IS TOO MUCH TO DEAL WITH.

But before we get too deep into messiahs and devils and the end of the world, they get to talk about Boudica, a historical female warrior who influenced the character of Xena and who actually existed in real life!

Loosely inspired by The Dirty Dozen, The Dirty Half Dozen gives us yet another story about bad guys teaming up to stop worse guys. Some radical bro gets his hands on some unbreakable, impenetrable metal and decides to just, like, take over the world. Six thousand decent kills later, Xena puts together a rag-tag group of scoundrels in order to stop him. During all of this, Gabrielle is also struggling with some pretty big "what ifs" about her friendship with Xena. Chris Sims and Allison Stock also struggle with what is arguably THE WORST conversation two people have ever had on this show so far.

Persecution or madness? I say, porque no los dos? In the season 3 premier (sort of), Xena gets a bad review and gets burdened with both (although the madness ends up being the real problem, because when is there NOT a bounty on Xena’s head somewhere). With whiplash-inducing tonal shifts, this episode can’t decide whether madness is funny or really scary and sad.

Just remember: you guys asked for this!

That's right; he's decided to forgo the actual Dan Scrolls this time and just show up in person. Honestly, there's a lot Homer could have learned from Xena, and on this episode, we unpack it all! But basically, all you need to know going in is that you don't need a boat if you're already home!

So this episode ended up being a bit of a snooze, so Chris and Ally invite special guest Javier Grillo-Marxuach (@OKBJGM) to talk about the Xena reboot that could have been! While trying not to get sidetracked into talking about Star Trek, we discuss mutual bathing, the complicated properties of Sumac, Xena as YOGURT (yep!), and how Xena Warrior Princess was a show for weird nerds before television started catering TO weird nerds. Bands are named and formed, papyrus is invented, and we also discuss why a crowded comic con is a GOOD comic con.

This is Lucy Lawless's first episode of THE ENTIRE SEASON where she's back in fighting form, and special guest Amanda Meadows (@amandonium) joins us to celebrate the occasion. This episode brings back Gabby's old friend Meleager, but it also brings up a ton of timeline inconsistencies. When Meleager is sentenced to death by a messy bitch who lives for the drama aka a reputably fair judge, Xena and Gabrielle are faced with a dilemma. Gabrielle, who can see the good in people, is convinced that Meleager is innocent. However, Xena has Seen Some Shit, and is torn between trusting her instincts and trusting her friend.
CW: this episode includes some talk about alcoholism/addiction.

Last episode gave us a day in the life of Xena and Gabrielle. This episode gave us a day in the life... of Joxer, canon incel and total dweeb. At least until a bell rings, turning him into either Danny Kaye, Errol Flynn, or Handsome Squidward from that episode when he got hit in the face and got really handsome. We're still figuring it out. Special guest Rebecca Reuland (@Cmmndrshepard) joins us to bear witness the debut of the COMPLETE Joxer theme song, which we've only heard in snatches until now. We also get APHRODITE, who is like, TOTALLY awesome. And Karl Urban is also here, because where else would be be?
