47: 4x03 ”A Family Affair”

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, prepare to encounter the scariest thing in the world: a family reunion. Vera, Katie, and Livy are going home for 4x03 “A Family Affair.” Half domestic drama, half gothic horror, this episode has everything, including not one but two Xena/Gabrielle reunions! We discuss the horror films that inspired this ep, the importance of sympathizing with the monster, the many layers of subtext in Xena’s relationship with Gabrielle’s parents, and the Oedipal triangle of Gabrielle, Hope, and lil baby Destroyer. Plus: Gabs’s hospice hair, Xena’s new clip, and pinwheels galore!

The power, the passion, the podcast!
