Episode 65: Bow’s Magical Gift

Who knew how fickle Bow could be? After capturing Shadow Weaver’s magic wand, our favorite rebel archer decides that the bow and arrow – from which he GOT HIS NAME – is basically garbage.

Instead, he builds a new over-confident persona around this powerful wand. He uses it to lead cavalier attacks on the Horde and even for entertainment. But a new gang of super-powered space babes is not impressed by these obnoxious antics. Yes, you read that right. Whatever you’re imagining is correct and everything you hope it will be. We will discuss at length.

Adora sees the problem right away: Bow is not himself, and he’s going get himself or somebody else in trouble. But that’s not all. His wand is making strange sounds, almost as if it’s losing power. Everyone can see where this is going except Bow.

In addition to the radical space babes, we’ll discuss Horde Prime’s secrets, some melodramatic acting and personal histories of showing off (we discover a theme).

So raise your magic wand, check its batteries and conjure up a new episode of our He-Man and She-Ra podcast!

(Note: We think the Jewel Sisters’ real names are Starla, Tallstar and Jewelstar, but after you hear the crazy voices, I don’t think you’ll blame our earlier interpretation!)
