Episode 61: The Perils of Peekablue

By the Ancients, Peekablue! How ‘bout some privacy! Yes, Etheria’s kindest creeper stars in this odd yet entertaining episode of She-Ra. After some unsettling spying with good intentions for Adora, the peacock-themed princess is nabbed by Hordak’s new RC grabber toy for evil purposes. He plans to control Peekablue and channel her powers to find an entrance to the rebel camp, where he hopes to extract the rebel leadership.

If this sounds hilarious and a little disturbing, then you probably have the right idea about this story.

During our adventure, we’ll meet a new lieutenant in the rebellion (the mighty “Kieber”), and a prisoner with a great name who says stuff that’ll make you think of Hunter S. Thompson.

To get in the mindset for this episode, we’ll discuss how it feels to play for the wrong side. Plus! We finally get to some listener mail. We’re getting some medieval history to help us answer our most pressing questions about Masters of the Universe.
