Summary

No jokes or digressions this week, because we've got an imposing amount of critical theory related to the seminal '80s babysitting text, "He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special," to cover. Buckle your seatbelts and strap in for a dry but informative disquisition on themes of duality and identity in the Kingdom of Eternia, a wearisome but exhaustive analysis of the embedded power structures on Horde World, and a lengthy historical account of the origins of "Snout Spout."

Music credits:

"He-Man theme," He-Man Official

"Saving the Day," He-Man Official

"Call to Action," He-Man Official

Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Bye Bye Empire for the outro music.

0:46.2	You haven't explored the mythos.
0:48.1	I have not explored the mythos.
0:49.4	I will say though, after watching this,
