Hey, this going back and forth between past Enchanted Forest and present Storybrooke is getting a bit overwhelming. Maybe we should just take a chill pill for a bit on that. ...or maybe let's do something completely different and flip the script and do real world flashbacks and present day Enchanted Forest. And who the heck is this guy from Broken, by the way? This episode, we have our friend Sarah guesting. And she's seen Once Upon a TIme even more than Bob! This one is some good stuff,...

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion related to the following plot elements: Body Horror, Emetophobia, Child Death, Child Abandonment, Harm to Children, and Children In Severe Emotional Distress. Happy Halloween!!! So, how about something completely different for Spooky Season? In this bonus episode, we discuss some good, old-fashioned Dungeons and Dragons (BUT SPOOOOOKY) with the first episode of Dimension 20's Neverafter. This season blends fairy tale characters with horror,...

Just in time for spooky season, we have Once Upon a Time's first proper Halloween episode. Trick or Treat! Ahhh for you, Regina, I have a heaping helping of TRAUMA. Now don't TP my house. LOVE your costume, girl. And on this episode, we have our friend and horror writer, Santana Segriff! She tells us all about Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, how she legitimately thought that Emma and Regina were together in the show thanks to Tumblr, and more! You can check out her stuff on her Instagram,...

I sure love Once U-Paw-n a Time! Remember when there was a whole subplot in this movie about a Russian Circus? I sure as hell don't. I also don't think the movie does!

Well, here we are. We made it, folks. We finally have the full primary cast of the show revealed. And HE is here. Our favorite pirate. The hottest man. After a long night of hooking, he finally made it to steal Rumplestiltzkin's wife. To celebrate, we had our good friend and very talented singer Shawn on the show as a guest! You can listen to his single, To Be Needed, on ⁠Spotify ⁠or ⁠iTunes⁠. You can also follow him on ⁠Instagram ⁠and ⁠Twitter (WARNING, this is very NSFW)⁠. To Be Needed is...

Ok so Cora MAY or may not be threatening me as I type this. haHAHA what a funny joke that I just typed. Nothing bad at all is happening to me. But anyway, Lancelot was really great and hot in this episode and DEFINITELY not Cora in disguise. What can't she do??

We're going bicoastal! From Maine all the way over to Washington for this one.

We may be both, but are we neither? Does the absence of Stealthy really make us less than? Will Mayor Cunty Reginarock With a Handbag get a lot of character development this season? Will Mary Margaret ever wake up from that bolo to the head? Oh, I don't know. I just like asking questions.

New season? New problems. Well, not for us. For Regina mostly. And I guess for Emma and Mary Margaret. Ok, I guess the plot do be thickening a LOT. And Rumplestiltzkin is still a bozo.

We did it, Joe! We made it through all of Season 1 of Once Upon a Time and MAN are we happy to share this one with you! This was Lexi's very first time watching any of Once Upon a Time after editing this podcast for us and hearing Seth and Bob talk all about it, so it's good that she enjoyed it tbh. We'll have a full season retrospective coming next week, so be sure to keep your ears peeled for that! And then........ SEASON 2 is just around the corner! Along with some other fun bonuses that...

Seth and Bob went on a little field trip to see Once Upon a Time's very own Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) perform in the Goodman Theatre production of The Penelopiad. It was an excellent performance and we really try to do our best here to bring you with us to the show as much as possible. We hope we did this fantastic production justice! You can see more about this production, including some videos of the performance and behind the scenes interviews at the Goodman's website:...

Pinocchio really said "Faaaather, when can I leave to be on my oooown? I've got the whole worldussy!" and Geppetto really said "Bet." Also, don't forget to tune in for CBS's new Tuesday night Copaganda line-up!

Will Baelfire work with the Rural Juror to get out of the Realm of Fairy Tales? I mean, yeah certainly. Now whether his sweaty dad is along for the ride, who even knows! He probably won't break a deal he makes, right? RIGHT? In other news, we're going to be cataloguing and crediting all the sounds we use in our episodes that are not from us! This is part of a larger conversation related to the excellent Plagiarism and Youtube video posted in December by hbomberguy, which I would ABSOLUTELY...

Strikes work!!! Both SAG-AFTRA and the WGA have reached deals for their workers, meaning we are back to posting Once Upon a Time recap episodes! I'm not saying much here, but Once Upon a Time did generational trauma before Encanto did. Is it better than Encanto? That really depends on who you ask. Don't ask me, I like them both and am very indecisive. But what about Cora, right? She's definitely a loving mother who has never done anything wrong and not a monster entirely! And she's...

The strike is over! Well, the strike is over for the WGA (the deal they got is truly fantastic! Strikes work!). The actors are still on strike, so we're still not talking about Once Upon a Time, since the request to not have recap podcasts about struck works was from SAG. What we're talking about instead this time is the comic that in a different universe could have had a show on ABC instead of Once Upon a Time - Fables! We recap the first trade paperback of Fables, which includes the first...

Boy howdy, what have we here? Well, the Actors and Writers are on strike, so in solidarity, we will not be discussing our usual show until a deal is struck with the AMPTP. You know what is NOT on strike? Commercials. You know what we're discussing today? COMMERCIALS. Strap in for a short minisode where we wade into the waters of Maine (visitmaine.com) and some of the state tourism board's.... decisions regarding travel ads. You'll want to watch along for...

This episode was recorded before both the Writer's Guild of America and the Screen Actor's Guild went on strike against the studios due to the studios' unwillingness to make a fair deal with these unions for their labor. It's important to note that these studios could end the strike at any point by meeting the unions at the negotiation table, but as of the release of this episode, the studios have chosen to let these workers strike rather than cut their own income by fractions of a percent....

So, this one is all about how Snow White forgot her love and became so mean to everyone else. Is that saying something? Like a larger message about a woman's worth without a man? I don't know, but I do know that Snow White attacks a Chroma Keyed Budgie with a broom and also broke Happy's stein in this one. So that's something. Oh and Regina wears this truly gorgeous dress for all of 3 seconds. All in all? Pretty good ep! Writers of the shows you love (including Once Upon a Time) are...

We knew this one was coming. THIS IS the story of a girl. That girl? Albert Einstein. Wait, no. Little Red Riding Hood, who was willing to kill a monster to hook up with a boy. She is the icon. She is the moment. She is the titular gatekeeping, gaslighting girlboss. We love an origin story, and we also love a Jane Espenson story. Writers of the shows you love (including Once Upon a Time) are currently on strike to help safeguard the future of the industry! You can learn more about why they...

Well, we got here, y'all. Here is an episode that we both really didn't like. What does this mean for you? Well, we are going to talk a LOT about eggs. And while you may not know what that means yet, let me just spoil part of the episode here: in Once Upon a Time, dwarves hatch from eggs. Did it ever need to be explained by the show? I will let you decide that for yourself, humble listener. However, I don't think so. But here we are, dealing with a dry hatch and a glitter load. Welcome to our...

We finally find out the meaning of a throw-away line from back like 7 episodes ago-ish. ALSO, we meet one of the most important characters to ever be created in media. No, not Frederick! CRAZY OLD RIP VAN WINKLE. (Listen, I don't know why this got us so much. I think we recorded that in a fever dream, but it's a fever dream for you to enjoy! So open up your ears and clack down to town square) Oh, also Regina and Mary Margaret get slapped a bunch for deserved and kind of undeserved reasons,...
