Strap on your bear armor, and get out your dimension-hopping knife, because today we’re jumping into the cozy familial love-fest of Netflix sitcom Once Upon a Time, and mashing it up with the bonkers philosophical adventuring of the His Dark Materials series. Check us out on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher for an episode that hits harder than a bear wearing armor, as we discuss the way that issues work best in a sitcom setting, what daemon various family members would have, why physicists can be moms or not, and the absolute joy of Rita Moreno, whether or not she is eating a baby owl.
Where to find this week’s pop culture (as of show date):
