Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. (Ancient Greek Proverb) From waxing nostalgic for the cable tv series finale event, to marveling at this episode's extremely high production value, Chris and Ally bid their farewell to the Warrior Princess. It's tough to wrap a show when you've already resolved all your closure, but from professions of love to a sensual on-screen kiss, it felt like Xena Warrior Princess the 90s action adventure show really did as much as it possibly could... or did it???

How cool will Gabby play it when she finds out she wasn't Xena's first? And what's the deal with Japan's natural iron deposits?

We let out listeners pick our last CommentaRAIMI movie, and so we watched Sam Raimi's meticulously stylish tournament arc of a movie We talk about the appeal of Westerns, movies where a bad guy owns a town, Russell Crowe's floppy-haired fuckboy sex appeal, and the inherent awkwardness of walking into a place and having people look at you.

It's also time to deprogram a rescued virgin sacrifice, and to meet one of the goofiest villains we've seen in a while.

The victory lap continues, with Chris and Ally are well on their way to seeing Xena Warrior Princess to completion. But first, they must contend with yet another human/centaur birth, and all the awful logistics leading up to such an unconscionable abomonation. We also get Xena as a bad stepmom, some weird character assassination for Gabrielle, and the return of some dodgy centaur special effects.
