Summary

We are keeping our tradition of making our first post of the new year about Sailor Moon. That ep, about the debatably trans Sailor Starlights, is now live on Patreon — at $1 for subscribers but it can also be purchased for $3 for non-subscribers. But we're putting last year's Sailor Moon ep, about the villain Fisheye, on the main feed.

Important note: Due to recent political events, we're giving all of our Patreon proceeds for this month to the Transgender Law Center.

"Shadow of Evil: The Trio's Last Chance" (September 23, 1995)

It's a new year, and you're getting a new Sailor Moon. This time, we are focusing on Fisheye, a henchman villain from the fourth season who defies categorization both in terms of his gender performance and his status as a bad guy. This one is all over the place in the best possible way, and might be the closest to a true anti-Sailor Moon the series ever gets. Seriously, we love this goofy weirdo and who he gets more of an arc than anyone else does this season.

We gave Fisheye the Leon Carp treatment, and this episode also examines the following other episodes: Meeting of Destiny: The Night Pegasus Dances (s4e1), Forest of Illusion: A Beautiful Fairy's Invitation (s4e10), We Love Fashion: The Stylish Guardians (s4e13), Become a Prima: Usagi's Ballet (s4e18) and Mirrors of Dreams: The Amazon's Last Stage (s4e22).

Also listen to our previous Sailor Moon episodes: The Cartoons That Made Us Gay: Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Meets a Lesbian Couple.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Drew.
0:03.1	Hi, this is Glenn.
0:04.2	And this is a quick intro to the first episode we're putting out of 2025.
0:09.1	We have a tradition on gayest episode ever of kicking off the new year by talking about Sailor Moon.
0:13.7	So there is a brand new Sailor Moon episode on Patreon.
0:16.7	But last year's Sailor Moon episode, which is about the villain Fish Eye, we're putting on the main feed. And you are listening to that now. Will you record that a year ago? A year ago. That can't be. That's what we did. This is coming out later than we expected because the fire has just kind of screwed everything up in L.A. And it's been a little hard finding the brain space, at least for me to sit down and talk about TV when
0:38.4	there's other stuff going on. But I think maybe this new year is going to be about justifying
0:43.2	us taking the time to talk about old TV and finding a good reason to do it. If someone listens
0:48.3	to this new episode, this new to you episode, and they're like, I need more Sailor Moon. You can go to
0:53.0	Patreon right now and listen to a brand new episode about the Sailor Starlights. It's the characters who show up in the final season of the show who are interpreted by many fans to be a little trans. So we talk about trans themes in that season of Sailor Moon. And there's a new feature on Patreon actually where everyone who subscribes to us on the
1:14.0	$1 month level get that new Sailor Moon episode.
1:16.7	But if you're not subscribing and you just want to listen to the new Sailor Moon episode,
1:20.8	you can actually buy it.
1:22.2	And I decided to price it at $3.
1:25.5	It's a better deal to subscribe, obviously. But if you're only interested
1:29.9	in that and you don't want the rest of the stuff, that's going to be an option that'll be up
1:33.2	forever. So hopefully people will enjoy that. But there's an extra incentive for buying that
1:37.5	episode this month. There is. I mean, I'm sure everyone who listens to this podcast is aware
1:43.3	that the new presidential administration has passed an executive order that targets trans Americans and makes our trans friends probably feel a lot less safe to be in this country.
1:53.7	And we think that sucks.
1:55.2	So what we're doing is we're giving up this month, in quotes, revenue from Patreon to the Transgender Law Center,
2:04.4	which we thought was a worthwhile trans-focused organization that can probably use some extra
