Welcome to Generation Fangirl, a podcast hosted by 80's baby Peony and 90's baby Caro. Here we talk about various geek topics and issues, discuss nostalgia and current fandoms, and tell plenty of awkward stories. ----- "Bit Quest" & "Blip Stream" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Crea…
This week, Peony and Caro discuss SPOILERS in the final movie of the MCU Phase 3, where our good friend Peter goes on vacation, gets a new nickname, and just continues to try his best. This movie has everything - wacky teenage antics, handsome villains, medieval weapons, surprise endings! Is this adventure caused by science...or is it witchcraft? We’re always hoping for witchcraft.
It's 2019 and Pokemon are real... Well, not yet, but close enough! Peony and Caro review the first live action Pokemon movie - Detective Pikachu! In this episode, they cry over a bunch of onion babies, decide which Pokemon would be their Ryme City partner, and discuss how creepy Mr. Mime's skin texture actually is.
The spoiler ban has been lifted - it's time to talk Endgame! There's a lot to process after this major movie event, but Peony and Caro have a lot to get out of their system. Why did one of these Avengers die instead of the other? Who knew Thor was a Bloody Mary type of guy? Are comics even real? What's Phase Four even going to be about? No one knows for sure, but we can guess anyway.
This week, Caro and Peony go back to the days before streaming shows was the norm and getting up early on a Saturday didn't feel like torture! Peony discusses some history behind the start of Saturday morning cartoons, Caro reminisces about catchy theme songs, and both look back fondly on their favorite (and sometimes forbidden) cartoon-watching snacks. It's just sugar covered in more sugar, because that's what we wanted before we discovered caffeine. Ah, childhood.
Welcome to the 90's. We've got Dial-Up. Two-Eyed Nick Fury. Radioshack. And a lot of feelings about Carol Danvers rocking the grunge look. It's our spoiler-filled episode on the new Captain Marvel movie! Caro talks in-depth about stealing motorbikes and female friendships. And Peony is really excited to finally see those goofy space goblins on film.
This week, Caro and Peony go into Storytime Mode about conventions and all the wonderful, weird, and truly memorable experiences that only happen at a con. AquaNet, cramming ten of your friends into a hotel room, bizarre cosplay crossovers, and even a chance meeting with the Patron God of partying. How do you explain what a convention weekend is like? You can't, but we are going to try our best.
Happy Valentine's Day, fanfriends! This week, Caro and Peony are talking about love-related storylines, including rom-coms of yesteryear, period dramas to swoon over, most romantic animated moments, and answering the biggest question of all. Who's your ultimate OTP?
Happy 2019, fanboys and girls! Peony and Caro are back to chat about multi-dimension Spider-Fam, how Peter B. Parker's midlife crisis is a "Big Mood" and how they can't get that Christmas album out of their heads.
It's our 10th episode! (Get it? 10? X?) Caro and Peony discuss the ever-relevant and ever-evolving storylines from the original X-Men team to today's school of misfits and superpowered rascals. But also, we need to talk about Cyclops's fashion choices. It's a problem.
In Part 2 of our Magical Girls series, Peony and Caro talk about Western! We try to figure out what Winx and W.I.T.C.H. were all about, give Steven Universe a shout out and argue that defeating evil with kindness is pretty cool. And swords. Swords are always cool.
Sparkles! Hearts! Friendship! Surprise Tragedy? Magical girl anime is full of all sorts of feelings and Caro and Peony are ready to talk about them all. ~*Would you like to make a contract?*~ (Spoilers - NO. But maybe?)
Ah, that one game about lawyers. If there's any series that both Caro and Peony are passionate fangirls about, it's this one. We share cosplay stories, argue over ladders and stepladders, and declare our love for our video game attorney husbands with stars in our eyes.
What's up, witches! It's Peony and Caro's favorite time of the year! Vampire drinks from Starbucks, spooky decor at the craft store and some classic Halloween specials. Who expected Twitter to explode with so much sultry Venom fanart? Not Peony, definitely Caro.
In this episode, we take a look at everyone's favorite 90's action girl, Buffy! Caro professes her love for the female savior genre and Peony is still not sure what's up with Dawn's entire existence. (When in doubt, a demon did it.)
Continuing where they left off in the previous Marvel episode, Peony explains why she will never watch Infinity Wars and Caro describes her longing for a Scarlet Witch movie. Will Disney ever get their hands on the whole X-Men gang? Only time will tell.
In this episode, we discuss the beginnings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from a nostalgic point of view!(remember the trailer music from the first X-Men movie? We do. So 2000).
In this episode of deep dark secrets, Caro vents about her love-hate relationship with The Mortal Instruments, while Peony declares her undying love of Riverdale and talks about Labyrinth. Again. Are guilty pleasures really a bad thing? Welcome to our TED Talk.
Welcome the FIRST EPISODE of Generation Fangirl! Here we talk about a classic past time near and dear to all adventurers - Dungeons and Dragons! Caro yearns to be a real Tiefling and Peony gushes about magical swords in the forest
