Hey there Leaders, Get those quarters on the cabinets as we climb up to Kong, chase those pesky ghosts, fix it with Felix and !@£$£# with Q*bert, yes SFL is going down to the nostalgia mall to visit arcade and see why yet another 80s icon is finding new life in the new millennium. Debs will mention VHS. Fiver on it.  

Hey there Leaders   This time we talk trilogies and as the author of the dark wood trilogy who better than their author and awesomeness personified Gabby Hutchison Crouch. Oh,and buy the books, kay? Kay. :D

Hey There Leaders It's almost lockdown over time. Are you looking forward to going out in to the big scary  disease ridden abyss that is left of our world? Yea? Well we chat about it anyway.

Hey there leaders Set phasers for stunned because as well as slew of season renewals and trailers we're even getting a whole new Star Trek show.

Hey There Leaders, With Black Widow finally getting a date to hit screens large and small this July Kate and Debs rattle off their fave ladies spies. Spoiler, there's so many to choose from as it seems espionage is one genre that the ladies are as well represented. Guess we have a lot to thank Mata Hari for after all. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's first 3 episodes get the spoiler review treatment too. Enjoy.

Hey there leaders, This time around Kate and Colleen go into fictional matriarchal societies. Don't know what brought it to mind. just popped in there.  Also it's award season. So let's talk frocks. :o)

Hey there Lockdown Leaders This time McCabe the Mighty and The CCG take a look at the sate of the game concerning our fave lady heroes in print and beyond. Will Black Widow ever see the light of day? was WW84 out of 100? What vision do we have for Wanda? Stay Safe, we love you all.

Hey there Leaders You know those shows, those ones you watch and go WTF just happened why is there a polar bear or a guy that can walk through walls or someone who looks like an alien but isn't and where did everyone go? Yeah. Those shows that you cannot fathom or leave alone. With Wandavision currently blowing our minds we look back and into the mystery box genre.

Hey there Leaders, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Colleen and Kate gather around a guttering candle deep in lockdown to look ahead at what us nerds might make as resolutions for a geeky 2021. And a new year book club pick.

Hey there Leaders As we approach the festive season, emerging slowly from our covid bunkers, blinking in the weak winter sun, trying to buy xmas presents without using Amazon and find some scraps of the old normal, Debs and Kate talk the future of movies, cinemas and streaming. Enjoy

Hey there Leaders   This time round the gals are chatting romance of the fiction variety. We love it in our fan fiction, we love it in our comics and movies so why not love it for what it is. So rip those bodices, flounce that mane and buckle in for our very special surprise guest. Oh, and McCabe fixes American politics with Colleen's help. Enjoy!!

Hey there Leaders It's Halloween!! We're back from our late summer hiatus, ready to be locked down again. What better way to cap off the spooky season with a Halloween watch-along of Halloween. That's right the 1978 seminal slasher flick. Are old horror movies still horrific? Will our resident scaredy-cats Kate and Colleen make it through? Watch along with us and this classic from Carpenter.  

Hey there Leaders, As we are all still sequestered inside our hermetically sealed pandemic proof bunkers we go through our collections of physical media and discuss the merits of physical over digital. Not to mention celebrating those dead media formats. In our special feature we give you some of our fave box sets to get you started. So clear out this shelves and get ready to start... Curating.

Hey there Faithful Leaders   Thanks for sticking with us for 100 episodes!!   Through Trump, Brexit, Pandemics and haters on the internet we have prevailed to bring you the best in lady centric nerdaliciousness.   Thank you to everyone who has contributed over the years and here's to the next 100.   Now listen to Kiri Pritchard-McLean gives her top 5 genre lady ass kickers. (not that they kick lady ass, i mean sometimes they do but they are ass kicking ladies. Maybe it would've been better to put that first. If only you could edit this stuff.)

Hey there leaders, More fuel for our book clubbers and comic hangers and word nerds as Kate and Colleen drill through the Hugo Awards.

Hey There Leaders, With Covid virtually over and it being virtually time for convention season and comic-con happening virtually at virtually the same time it would have normally.
