Episodes
Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts
April 19, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts, featuring the shittest horse ever and a "city" so tiny it could fit in my front room. Also, the return of a familiar face, or rather a face that would be familiar if they hadn't recast him since the last time we saw this character.
The Black Wolf
April 12, 2021 08:00 - 59 minutes - 57.8 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review The Black Wolf. Awooooooooooo! Awoooooooooo! Have you had enough awoooooo-ing? Then I have bad news for you about this episode. Featuring my man Salmoneus, not enough Gabrielle, and a triangle we're supposed to think is a wolf.
Hooves and Harlots
April 05, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review Hooves and Harlots, the episode that introduced us to the Amazon Nation, aka the women of Greeceland Common. Featuring bad dancing, vitally important poop and surly butches. A cracker.
Death in Chains
March 29, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review Death in Chains, in what felt like a truly Sisyphean task. Featuring another soulmate of the week (when will it end?) plus a little straighbaiting (another Xena innovation.)
Prometheus
March 22, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review Prometheus, the most Hercules-y episode of Xena ever. Wonko doesn't take notes. We have technical problems. Have I lowered your expectations enough yet? Then we'll begin.
The Titans
March 15, 2021 08:00 - 59 minutes - 57.1 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review The Titans. A mythological episode featuring those wacky incestuous dudes and dudettes from the Ancient Greek creation myth, except these examples are just douchebags really. But tol. Real tol. Forced persepctive tol. A technique that works better in small doses? An episode worth forgetting? Listen and find out.
The Reckoning
March 08, 2021 09:00 - 52 minutes - 50.6 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review The Reckoning, a big step up from last week's rather turgid affair. Featuring dubious hats, a mysterious man in a hood, and a finally named horse. What a fun filled week it is.
The Path Not Taken
March 01, 2021 09:00 - 50 minutes - 49.9 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review The Path Not Taken. Spoilers: we are bored. Featuring: the sleaziest villain yet and content warnings for emetophobia (me gagging at the plot), sexual assault (just the plot) and heterosexuality (Marcus.)
Cradle of Hope
February 22, 2021 09:00 - 56 minutes - 53.5 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review Cradle of Hope. An episode about a baby, a box, and a precarious plinth. Gabrielle! No! Don't mess with the bloody box!
Dreamworker
February 15, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.4 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review Dreamworker. Featuring a blind old man oiling Xena up for plot reasons, highly dangerous breasts, and Gabrielle's still intact Blood Innocence (tm).
Chariots of War
February 08, 2021 09:00 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review Chariots of War. On the agenda today: is violence ever justified? Would we all be happier if we threw away our weapons and were a bit more feminine? And when oh when will a chariot enter the plot?
Sins of the Past
February 01, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBFlimFlam and Wonko review Sins of the Past. Why is Lucy Lawless so pretty? Why are we, two lesbians, thirsting over Draco? Just what exactly is the average Greek warlord's business model? These, and other questions, will not be answered in this review.
Pilot
January 25, 2021 09:10 - 26 minutes - 24.9 MBThe pilot episode of the internet's premiere podcast with an English lesbian and a Scottish lesbian talking about Xena for a minute. Your humble hosts introduce themselves to you and reminisce on how Xena Warrior Princess came to have her own show.
