Episode 32: The Crystal Castle

How did She-Ra find the Crystal Castle? The 1985 children’s toy market wants to know. But who are we kidding? We’re grown, and we’re still dying to find out!

And, thank goodness we got an explanation, because the last time we met Light Hope, She-Ra was shooting the breeze with the guy like they were old pals. Well, now we know how it all happened.

We get a showstopper performance from Queen Angela, a great scheme from Shadow Weaver and … well, we just made some crazy stuff about Broom. Plus, we got some fantastic troll lore. This week, come for the Crystal Castle, but stay for the troll talk. You’ll be playing “bum-bum” on your drums before know it.
