sleepypinkcast – Fat Pink Cast

http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyPinkCast-ThisRedLadyFromCaribee306.mp3 The fat pink curse rides again aka why does every show we like suffer a sophomore slump? We chat a bit about Empire, The Flash, and HTGAWM before diving into the latest Sleepy Hollow episode. Crane has two awkward dates that we could’ve been spared and a Caribbean lady wrecks havoc on the Hollow (likely because of the lack of good roti). Plus, Grace Dixon is back and delightful as usual. Here’s what you missed last time: We go IN on this blatant crossover episode so prepare yourselves for some critical tea. Next Time:   Sleepy Hollow –  The Art of War The race of save Jenny Mills from a killer rock is on!

http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyPinkCast-DeadMenTellNoTales305.mp3 Sleepy Hollow’s showrunners continue to misunderstand their fanbase. We go IN on this blatant crossover episode so prepare yourselves for some critical tea. We also chat about why the show seems determined to render Abbie sexless–despite her very obvious attractiveness–and why the show’s historical fiction doesn’t really push boundaries. Once again, welcome special guest @melinapendulum who’s filling in for M! Here’s what you missed last time: We bid our time until Betsy rides off into the sunset in the arms of another. Next Time:   Sleepy Hollow –  This Red Lady From Caribee Brap brap brap, Pandora calls upon on a fabulous West Indian gyal to wreak some havoc in the Hollow.

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyPinkCast-TheSistersMills304.mp3] Crane continues to test Abbie’s patience (and ours) by regressing as a character. Pandora remains a flawless thorn in the witness’ side by conjuring up a ghastly creature that makes us glad that we no longer have baby teeth to lose. Jenny and Abbie get a little development and battle someone else’s childhood demons for a change. And we bid our time until Betsy rides off into the sunset in the arms of another. We’re also joined by special guest melinapendulum! Here’s what you missed last time: M and J attempt to stop talking about Hamilton for a whole 2 minutes. Next Time:   Bones x Sleepy Hollow –  The Resurrection in the Remains/Dead Men Tell No Tales Wait, there’s a Sleepy Hollow/Bones crossover, what crossover?

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/Sleepypinkcast-BloodAndFear303.mp3] A sexist raven flies through our window and drops us a Sexy Betsy gossip bomb. M and J attempt to stop talking about Hamilton for a whole 2 minutes. We wonder if Ichabod will end up chained in Miss Cornith’s basement. And of course, we imagine that at some point Abbie will be told to stop bringing her boyfriend to FBI crime scenes. Here’s what you missed last time: Fat Pink Cast goes to New York Comic Con and finds themselves wondering why Sleepy Hollow’s PR team can’t get it together. Next Time:   Bones x Sleepy Hollow –  The Resurrection in the Remains/Dead Men Tell No TalesWait, there’s a Sleepy Hollow/Bones crossover, what crossover? We’ll also have a special guest filling in for M while she’s off traveling in a far away land.

http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyPinkCast-WhispersInTheDark302.mp3 Fat Pink Cast goes to New York Comic Con and finds themselves wondering why Sleepy Hollow’s PR team can’t get it together. We also lament the creation of sexy Betsy and wish she were more like the Schuyler sisters instead of a Kate Beaton parody. And last, but not least…we question why every lady within 20 miles is after Ichabod’s Bedfordshire Clanger. Here’s what you missed last time:  Join as we discuss Beck–er Betsy Ross and her new found skill set, Abbie and Ichabod’s brand new haircuts, and our fresh hopes and dreams for season 3. Next Time:   Sleepy Pink Cast –  Blood and Fear Jack the Ripper is actually… more than just a metaphor for male entitlement.

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/Sleepypinkcast-IWitness301.mp3] In a surprising twist of fate, Sleepy Hollow is back with a solid season 3 premiere, as is Sleepy Pink Cast! Join as we discuss Beck–er Betsy Ross and her new found skill set, Abbie and Ichabod’s brand new haircuts, and our fresh hopes and dreams for season 3. Next Time:   Sleepy Pink Cast –  Whispers in the Dark  We ask all the important questions such as, why are there dementors in Sleepy Hollow?

[audio http://archive.org/download/FatPinkCastSleepyHollowFinale/FatPinkCast-SleepyHollowFinale.mp3] Join FatPinkCast as we go back in time to remember when Sleepy Hollow was pretty darn good.  It might be our last trip on the S.S. Ichabbie… In this podcast, we talk about the series—cough—season finale of Sleepy Hollow. We follow the Leftenant Nicole Awesome Beharie on her adventures in the 70’s…(the 1770s),  Marvel as she meets up with alternate universe Ichabod—complete with pilgrim hat.  Observe awkwardly as Ben Franklin calls her a dream boat and squeal when she meets Granny Grace.   This is why Irving wasn’t going “If you want him, you can buy him on eBay.” Here’s what you missed last time around: Sleepy Hollow- Awakening Katrina makes some questionable decisions.  Abbie and Ichabod go to Home Depot… What’s next: Is Game of Thrones back yet?  Will it be sad?   Will Sleepy Hollow be renewed?   Tell us what youd like us to cover next!? As always, you can always catch us on our tumblr or on itunes under FatPinkCast!

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyHollow-TheAwakening.mp3] Relive the first half of Sleepy Hollow’s epic season finale with the grumpiest ship captains on the salty fandom seas! Find out why we think Sleepy Hollow, Scandal and HTGAWM take place in the same universe and what we think Crane’s favourite films would be. Listen as we beg for webisodes (and Daniel Henney) and figure that maybe Abbie’s Arbor Day comment was simply just a joke that we didn’t get. Here’s what you missed last time around: Sleepy Hollow – What Lies Beneath Sleepy Hollow introduces a really interesting plot point and blows it up. What’s next: Sleepy Hollow – Tempus Fugit We’re back in business! It’s our final recap of the season and hopefully it won’t be the last. As always, you can always catch us on our tumblr or on itunes under FatPinkCast!

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyHollow-WhatLiesBeneath.mp3]

http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/FatPinkCast-SleepyHollowSpellcaster.mp3 We get a Katrina and witch-focused episode and learn the true story behind the Salem witch trials–a hurt nice guy rejected by a lady.  Also, Jonelle explains how Sleepy Hollow should bake a cake and why Katrina’s grandma was like a soggy-skinned chicken. Here’s what you missed last time around: Sleepy Hollow – Kali Yuga If you thought an episode with Ichabbie karaoke couldn’t be meh, you’d be wrong.  Haul out the Hawley cuz it’s time for awkward cultural appropriation probs. What’s next: Sleepy Hollow – What Lies Beneath Not the bad Harrison Ford/Michelle Pfeiffer movie.  From the previews it looks like Ichabod and Abbie jump down a lot of sewers and  an old timey guy is down one of them. As always, you can always catch us on our tumblr or on itunes under FatPinkCast!

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyHollow-PitturaInfamante.mp3] What doth tptb mean by serialisation?

http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyHollow-ParadiseLost.mp3 On this episode of Sleepy Pink Cast, we ponder the “every show we touch disappoints us” curse and chat about Sleepy Hollow’s future. What’s the M in a certain person’s middle name stand for? Why are Ichabod’s quirks driving us up a wall instead of amusing us like last season? Are we still sailing the #ichabbie ship at full mast? Why won’t this show let Abbie be great? Here’s what you missed last time around: Sleepy Hollow – Maagnum Opus & The Akeda Sit yourself for a twofer as Fat Pink Cast’s crew breaks down the Sleepy Hollow mid-season finale. What’s up next: Sing me a song of a series on Starz Say did that lass fall through time Merry of soul, she did get much banged But the book series it’s based on is….oi. We’ll also be recapping Sleepy Hollow, episode 2.13. As always, you can catch up on our previous Sleepy Hollow recaps in itunes under Fat Pink Cast: Sleepy Pink Cast.

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyHollow-MagnumOpusAndTheAkeda.mp3] Sit yourself for a twofer as Fat Pink Cast’s crew breaks down the Sleepy Hollow mid-season finale.   We discuss both episodes, Magnum Opus, and the Akeda…. (So, how exactly are Moloch and Henry and Katrina related?   Henry and Moloch share the same mother, but Moloch is Henry’s surrogate dad and Henry impregnated Katrina.   Very confusing.) We debate why Hawley is still here, why they did the thing with Orlando Jones, and why trees and villains on Sleepy Hollow turn blacker when they get eviler. Here’s what you missed last time around: Sleepy Hollow – Mama This show is strongest when it doesn’t sideline it’s key (woc) protagonist!  Join us as we fangirl hard about the episode Mama… Fat Pink Cast interviews John Noble and Tom Mison One of them calls us “Fat Pink Cats.”  We…don’t mind. What’s up next: Sing me a song of a series on Starz Say did that lass fall through time Merry of soul, she did get much banged But the book series it’s based on is….oi. As always, you can catch up on our previous Sleepy Hollow recaps in itunes under Fat Pink Cast: Sleepy Pink Cast.

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyHollow-TomMisonAndJohnNobleInterview.mp3] We don’t have a recap of Sleepy Hollow 2.10 Magnum Opus for you this week, but back in October we caught up with Tom Mison and John Noble at FOX’s Sleepy Hollow-een Pumpkin Patch in NYC, so we hope you enjoy this special interview edition of Sleepy Pink Cast instead!

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyHollow-Mama.mp3] *Trigger Warning for discussion of mental illness, suicide, and institutionalisation*  On this episode of Fat Pink Cast, “Do you guys like white boys in dirty coats with long hair? Do you guys like Sleepy Hollow? Are you guys aware that there are diverse people on this show? But would you rather see Ichabod in the front, looking serious about standing in front of all the people of colour on the show–and Katrina? Well then, we have the magazine for you!” “I feel like they should at least make it Katrina’s choice to kill Henry.” “Is it paranoid to be constantly looking over your shoulder thinking that someone’s gonna hurt you when you’re walking down the street in your neighborhood at night when that happens?” “Eyes open, Head up, Trust no one; this is like what black mothers tell their kids now.” “How scary is it that she was right? They took a shortcut and look at what happened!” “Is it too late to sell Nick Hawley to you?” “Yeah.” “We saved you because Frank Irving deserves better than this flop plot.” Here’s what you missed last time around: Sleepy Hollow: Heartless We mourn that the succubus didn’t eat Hawley. What’s up next: We won’t be reviewing an episode this week, but next week, stay tuned as we wrap up the first half of season 2 (Magnum Opus and The Akeda)! We’ll be tracking the entire season of Sleepy Hollow and ringing in the midseason break with a very special Outlander episode.

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/sleepyheartless.mp3] On this episode of Fat Pink Cast, The birth of the #AbbieMillsDeservesBetter tag. “These two freeloaders are chillin in Abbie’s daddy’s cabin.” “I would be really angry if they did redeem Henry at this point–after all the shit he’s put Irving through, all the shit he’s put Abbie through, all the shit he’s put Jenny through.” “This episode reminded me of Sailor Moon.” “Clearly she was gon’ get killed, her name was Becky.” “Abbie needs permission to date a flop now?” “I’d like to propose a drinking game–we should take a sip every time Ichabod and Katrina say ‘thank you’ to Abbie.” “Ha, we’d be sober.” “At the end of the day, when it comes to Katrina as a character, I’m just angry they’re straight up writing her with the most sexist tropes ever.” “It’d have been hilarious if they had Katrina in a snuggy at the beginning of the episode.” “I think, just because the writers have Abbie saying what they want the audience to feel because she represents the audience, doesn’t mean we’re actually gonna buy it, especially when you just showed Abbie doing all the work. It’s really incongruous. You can’t force people to believe something about a character that you haven’t shown to be true.” “Fly off into the sky on a dragon, far far away from all these terrible white people.” Here’s what you missed last time around: Sleepy Hollow: Deliverance We pray that someone delivers us from this slump. What’s up next: Prepare your tissues, we’re reviewing Mama, the episode so many of us have been waiting for.

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyHollow-Deliverance.mp3] On this episode of Fat Pink Cast, “It was so funny livetweeting Sleepy Hollow because there’s the mainstream Sleepy Hollow hashtag, and then there’s Sleepy Holla, and Shady Hollow and like, oh man; it was like a hive mind. Like five people tweeted at once ‘I hope the succubus eats Hawley.’ EAT HIM!” “There’s a rainbow coming out of my vagina, be gone Moloch!” “Ichabod’s the undocumented immigrant voter fraud that the Republicans are worried about.” “They drove to a church instead of a Planned Parenthood, mistake #1.” “They could have kidnapped an OBGYN, a handsome Korean American OBGYN played by Daniel Henney.” “She’s like Nancy Drew, but black.” “I’ve never disliked Ichabod more than this entire episode.” “I can’t believe they didn’t have Katrina say, ‘I’ve been putting myself in danger and this is how you’re gonna talk to me?’ to Ichabod.” “There are a lot of unloved people in this world who are still not harbingers of the Apocalypse.” “theorlandojones showed up in that episode literally to chauffeur two white men around.” “I’m glad Reyes is back so that this episode can pass the Bechdel Test despite how overwhelmingly sexist it is.” Here’s what you missed last time around: Sleepy Hollow: And the Abyss Gazes Back We chat about the shining light in the darkness that is Abbie Mills and Joe Corbin’s complicated, but loving relationship. What’s up next: Correction: Succubi are running amok—we jumped the gun because we’ve been missing some good story for a long time now. Next NEXT week is the Mills Sisters episode. We’ll be tracking the entire season of Sleepy Hollow and ringing in the midseason break with a very special Outlander episode! As always, you can always catch us on our tumblr or on itunes under Fat Pink Cast: Sleepy Pink Cast!

[audio http://archive.org/download/SleepyHollowThisIsWar/SleepyHollow-AndTheAbyssGazesBack.mp3] Look like someone’s got a case of the Wendigo! On this episode of the Fat Pink Cast, we list all the reasons why Nick Hawley needs to go (so he can stop stealing all of Jenny Mills’ screentime) and the many ways in which the show can accomplish his exit. We also chat about the shining light in the darkness that is Abbie Mills and Joe Corbin’s complicated, but loving relationship. Trust me, you’ll love our recap of better days before “Deliverance.” Here’s what you missed last time around: Sleepy Hollow: The Weeping Lady We start this episode with “The Boy is Mine.” If that doesn’t convince you to listen, we don’t know what will. What’s up next: Next week, come join us as we rage and possibly cry whilst reviewing “Deliverance” (will someone deliver us from these weak plot lines). We’ll be tracking the entire season of Sleepy Hollow and ringing in the midseason break with a very special Outlander episode!
