MR CEE - NYE WONKO
In the 80s west African music scene, it was often the way that a talented musician, composer or singer would labour away at a series of obscure, under-financed, poorly engineered recording projects before hitting gold. Such seems to have been the narrative with the comparatively unknown but very talented songwriter/vocalist Charles Kwadwo Kwarteng: Mr Cee.
Shortly before (or after- the dates aren’t clear) this excellent Ansona recording, Charles had released a self-produced ‘digital highlife’ album Kaba. To be absolutely candid, it had very little going...2023-11-1706 min
Bard's Eye ViewEternal BondsXena meets The Bangles, and Wonko reads too much into one line of dialogue. Overanalysis: the episode!
2023-10-1739 minBard's Eye ViewTakes One to Know OneThe third best episode of Xena named after a playground insult, right behind I Know You Are But What Am I? and Your Mum.
2023-03-2037 minBard's Eye ViewThe ConvertYou guys, Joxer isn't annoying in this one! Luckily he'll be annoying again next week, so I'm not fully...converted...to his charms. Did you see what I did there?
2023-03-1345 minBard's Eye ViewThe Play’s the ThingThe Play's the Thing! Wherein we'll...act badly and preach at the audience. I'm sure that's how Shakespeare ended that quote.
2023-03-0627 minBard's Eye ViewThe WayLong before The Mandalorian turned This is the Way into a meme, Xena took liberties with Hinduism and created the most controversial episode of the show's history. Join us for a little chat about the only episode ever pulled from syndication, The Way.
2023-02-271h 00Bard's Eye ViewBetween the LinesIt's somehow appropriate that we had to re-record this episode, given it's about reincarnation. Also, that goddamn wig!
2023-02-2035 minBard's Eye ViewDevi.Xena and Gabrielle encounter a street magician and answer the call for volunteers from the audience. Btw, apparently Podbean won't let the episode title be less than 5 characters? That's why there's punctuation in the title this week!
2023-02-1331 minBard's Eye ViewParadise FoundWe're going down the rabbit hole this week people, but will we find paradise when we get there? If learning yoga from a white guy is paradise, then yes.
2023-01-3040 minBard's Eye ViewIf the Shoe FitsAnother of the episodes FlimFlam's been dreading. Strap in for some Aphroditde inspired Cinderella shenanigans.
2023-01-2325 minBard's Eye ViewDaughter of PomiraA version of a season 2 episode, but somehow less subtle. Also check out the top notch seamless editing work at the beginning.
2023-01-1635 minBard's Eye ViewThe Key to the KingdomLucy needed a bit of time off, so we have a Xena-lite episode. Instead, the producers have brought Meg in to carry the show this week. Let's see how she does...

2022-11-1445 minBard's Eye ViewIn Sickness and in HellThe episode Flam's been so looking forward to! Broad physical comedy! Foot fungus! Talking lice! The components of any good episode of TV, surely.

2022-08-2240 minBard's Eye ViewTsunamiXena and Gabrielle get stuck on a boat again, but this time we have a natural disaster to deal with. This never would have happened if we'd gone to Macon, Georgia.

2022-07-1831 minBard's Eye ViewForgivenIs Tara the most annoying character in Xena history, and with the worst hair? You'd be forgiven for thinking so.
2022-07-1131 minBard's Eye ViewOne Against an ArmyA classic episode this week, as Xena and Gabrielle reaffirm their relationship after the events of the rift arc while also taking on the Gerard Butler role in the movie 300.

2022-06-271h 47Bard's Eye ViewMaternal InstinctsWe reach the nadir of Season 3's rift arc. Not a lot of laughs this week, as you might expect. TW for child death and suicidal ideation.
2022-06-2047 minBard's Eye ViewThe Quill is Mightier...The last of our little run of filler comedy episodes sees the return of Aphrodite, Ares, Minya and...sigh...Joxer.

2022-05-1649 minBard's Eye ViewGabrielle’s HopePhew! With a pleasant title like that, what could possibly go wrong?
2022-05-0953 minBard's Eye ViewThe DelivererIt's the 50th episode of Xena and we have a new location (Britannia) and a new tone (dark af.) An extremely important episode, but an uncomfortable one. Trigger warning for discussion of the metaphorical sexual assault for which this episode is infamous.
2022-05-021h 02Bard's Eye ViewThe Dirty Half DozenIn which Ares has a new boyfriend and we meet a straw-feminist who just needs to meet the Right Man(tm). ::Heavy gay sigh::

2022-04-1838 minBard's Eye ViewThe FuriesSeason 3 begins with a holdover episode from Season 2 that retains some of the comedy DNA while introducing the slightly darker themes that are in store over the next few months. Welcome back.
2022-04-1148 minBard's Eye ViewA Comedy of ErosIt's the season finale at last and it's...another comedy episode! How very season 2. Featuring Karl Urban's boner, more theft by the Disney corporation, and a dick'n'balls digression. How very Bard's Eye View.
2022-02-281h 03Bard's Eye ViewLost MarinerXena: ”Newton? Don’t know her.” ::yeet::
Wonko: "Need we say more?" ::proceeds to talk for 55 minutes::
2022-02-2154 minBard's Eye ViewThe PriceXena and Gabrielle encounter The Horde, aka Generic Vaguely Tribal Other. Xena wants to "kill 'em all"; Gabrielle wants to find another way. So far, so XWP Season 2.
2022-02-1456 minBard's Eye ViewUlysses🎶 Ulysses, no-one else can do the things you do /

Ulysses, always fighting all the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all. 🎵

Everybody

Callisto's back alright 🎶
2022-01-0352 minBard's Eye ViewThe QuestHere it is lads: the episode with The Scene. To Xenites, it is always The Scene. I have seldom heard them mention it under any other name. In their eyes it eclipses and predominates the whole of Season 2 (I mean the kissing part you guys.)
2021-12-201h 02Bard's Eye ViewDestinyFlimFlam and Wonko review an iconic episode, that kicks off an iconic arc. You might say we were destined to review this one. Of course, some reviews are...harder...than others.
2021-12-1348 minBard's Eye ViewHere She Comes...Miss AmphipolisFlimFlam and Wonko review Here She Comes...Miss Amphipolis, in which we say hello again (and goodbye) to fan favourite Salmoneus, and have a bit of a clam-fest on the beach.
2021-12-0644 minBard's Eye ViewThe Xena ScrollsFlimFlam: "Let's stop recapping the episode in excruciating detail."
Also FlimFlam: ::spends five minutes describing Mel Pappas's outfit in one scene::
2021-11-291h 00Bard's Eye ViewA Solstice CarolFlimFlam and Wonko review A Solstice Carol, aka the best adaptation of a Dickens Christmas classic not performed by Muppets.
2021-11-2250 minBard's Eye ViewTen Little WarlordsFlimFlam and Wonko review Ten Little Warlords, an episode filled with shenanigans. Body swap shenanigans, missing Godhood shenanigans, angery Gabby shenanigans, and - alas - Joxer shenanigans.
2021-11-1541 minBard's Eye ViewIntimate Stranger🎶 I looked into your eyes /
And my world came tumblin' down /
You're the devil in disguise /
That's why I'm singin' this song 🎶
2021-11-0846 minBard's Eye ViewWarrior...Princess...TrampFlimFlam and Wonko review Warrior...Princess...Tramp, another doppleganger episode, because that is a concept that needed to be revisited. Again. And again. And again.
2021-10-1142 minBard's Eye ViewReturn of CallistoFlimFlam and Wonko review Return of Callisto, aka also the return of Perdicus. With Wonko still recovering from TJ Scott's last directorial effort, will she give this one a fair shake? Let's find out.
2021-10-041h 00Bard's Eye ViewGirls Just Wanna Have FunFlimFlam and Wonko review Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Spoilers: we didn't. Have fun, that is. But we did review it, for which I expect some sort of medal.
2021-09-2742 minBard's Eye ViewThe Giant KillerFlimFlam and Wonko review The Giant Killer, the episode that baby Wonko tried to convince her mum was religious so she could watch it while banned from TV. It didn't work, because Wonko's mum's heid does not, in fact, button up the back.
2021-09-2058 minBard's Eye ViewRemember NothingFlimFlam and Wonko review Remember Nothing, aka Xena It's a Wonderful Life, aka daily life once you hit menopause.
2021-09-1350 minBard's Eye ViewOrphan of WarFlimFlam and Wonko review Orphan of War, the season 2 premiere of Xena Warrior Princess. Aka Warlord of the Week and the Ixion Stone. Who's this kid? What happened ten winters ago? How did he get that blond hair? Some of these questions may well be answered in this week's exciting episode of Bard's Eye View.
2021-09-061h 02Bard's Eye ViewIs There A Doctor In The House?FlimFlam and Wonko review the first season finale: Is There A Doctor In The House? Why yes, yes there is, and her name is Xena. With shades of Bernie Wolfe. Three people will get that.
2021-07-121h 22Bard's Eye ViewDeath MaskFlimFlam and Wonko review Death Mask, because the run of good episodes had to end sometime. You wouldn't think an episode in which we meet a long lost close relative AND Xena's first nemesis could be boring, would you? And yet, here we are.
2021-07-051h 08Bard's Eye ViewCallistoFlimFlam and Wonko review Callisto, an episode that introduces two extremely important recurring characters and finally reveals the massive mystery of who was the blonde who shot Xena with a poison dart last week. Spoilers: it was Callisto.
2021-06-281h 23Bard's Eye ViewThe Greater GoodFlimFlam and Wonko review The Greater Good, the episode where the producers were finally confident enough in their ability to still be filming next week that they were able to leave a cliffhanger. We tried to rein ourselves in, re: runtime, but failed. We may need outside intervention.
2021-06-211h 31Bard's Eye ViewTies That BindFlimFlam and Wonko review Ties That Bind, not to be confused with Binds That Tie, which is something else altogether. You may be wondering why this episode is so long. It's because we are both desperately in need of a muzzle.
2021-06-141h 31Bard's Eye ViewAltared StatesFlimFlam and Wonko review Altared States, the episode that Wonko has been waiting for as this is the one where she thinks the subtext started to become deliberate. Featuring hallucinogens, the voice of God, and a baby-faced Karl Urban.
2021-06-071h 20Bard's Eye ViewThe ProdigalFlimFlam and Wonko review The Prodigal aka Xena Warrior Bug's Life. Yes, A Bug's Life. Think about it. Seriously, think about i- ::FlimFlam removes Wonko from the stage using a Victorian music-hall hook::
2021-05-311h 10Bard's Eye ViewThe Royal Couple of ThievesFlimFlam and Wonko review Wonko's new favourite episode of the season, The Royal Couple of Thieves. Featuring a crystal worthy of a Channel 4 gameshow from the 90s, some highly quotable aphorisms, and a chin that could kill.
2021-05-241h 04Bard's Eye ViewMortal BelovedFlimFlam and Wonko review Mortal Beloved, the follow up to one of our least favourite episodes of the season. The good news is it's better than that one. The bad news is that's a low bar. Make sure you stick around for the blooper reel of this one!
2021-05-171h 10Bard's Eye ViewWarrior...PrincessFlimFlam and Wonko review Warrior...Princess, the first doppleganger episode of Xena, unless you count all the other episodes where actors are recycled. Featuring hijinks, hilarious misunderstandings and Xena setting more people on fire than you can shake a molotov cocktail at.
2021-05-101h 01Bard's Eye ViewA Fistful of DinarsFlimFlam and Wonko review A Fistful of Dinars, the most Indiana Jones-y episode of Xena until the season 2 Indiana Jones episode. Featuring Wonko's best efforts at suggesting ways the plot could have made more sense and, for some reason, David Cameron's sleazy lobbying issues (since superseded by Boris Johnson's sleazy wallpaper issues.)
2021-05-031h 13Bard's Eye ViewAthens City Academy of the Performing BardsFlimFlam, Wonko and special guest Goblin review Athens City Academy of the Performing Bards, this young series' first cheesy clipshow. We then attempt a little retrospective of our own, and try not to be sidetracked (largely unsuccessfully.) Content warning: Goblin behaviour.
2021-04-261h 31Bard's Eye ViewBeware Greeks Bearing GiftsFlimFlam and Wonko review Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts, featuring the shittest horse ever and a "city" so tiny it could fit in my front room. Also, the return of a familiar face, or rather a face that would be familiar if they hadn't recast him since the last time we saw this character.
2021-04-191h 06Bard's Eye ViewThe Black WolfFlimFlam and Wonko review The Black Wolf. Awooooooooooo! Awoooooooooo! Have you had enough awoooooo-ing? Then I have bad news for you about this episode. Featuring my man Salmoneus, not enough Gabrielle, and a triangle we're supposed to think is a wolf.
2021-04-1259 minBard's Eye ViewHooves and HarlotsFlimFlam and Wonko review Hooves and Harlots, the episode that introduced us to the Amazon Nation, aka the women of Greeceland Common. Featuring bad dancing, vitally important poop and surly butches. A cracker.
2021-04-051h 06Bard's Eye ViewDeath in ChainsFlimFlam and Wonko review Death in Chains, in what felt like a truly Sisyphean task. Featuring another soulmate of the week (when will it end?) plus a little straighbaiting (another Xena innovation.)
2021-03-291h 00Bard's Eye ViewPrometheusFlimFlam and Wonko review Prometheus, the most Hercules-y episode of Xena ever. Wonko doesn't take notes. We have technical problems. Have I lowered your expectations enough yet? Then we'll begin.
2021-03-221h 10Bard's Eye ViewThe TitansFlimFlam and Wonko review The Titans. A mythological episode featuring those wacky incestuous dudes and dudettes from the Ancient Greek creation myth, except these examples are just douchebags really. But tol. Real tol. Forced persepctive tol. A technique that works better in small doses? An episode worth forgetting? Listen and find out.
2021-03-1559 minBard's Eye ViewThe ReckoningFlimFlam and Wonko review The Reckoning, a big step up from last week's rather turgid affair. Featuring dubious hats, a mysterious man in a hood, and a finally named horse. What a fun filled week it is.
2021-03-0852 minBard's Eye ViewThe Path Not TakenFlimFlam and Wonko review The Path Not Taken. Spoilers: we are bored. Featuring: the sleaziest villain yet and content warnings for emetophobia (me gagging at the plot), sexual assault (just the plot) and heterosexuality (Marcus.)
2021-03-0150 minBard's Eye ViewCradle of HopeFlimFlam and Wonko review Cradle of Hope. An episode about a baby, a box, and a precarious plinth. Gabrielle! No! Don't mess with the bloody box!
2021-02-2256 minBard's Eye ViewDreamworkerFlimFlam and Wonko review Dreamworker. Featuring a blind old man oiling Xena up for plot reasons, highly dangerous breasts, and Gabrielle's still intact Blood Innocence (tm).
2021-02-151h 03Bard's Eye ViewChariots of WarFlimFlam and Wonko review Chariots of War. On the agenda today: is violence ever justified? Would we all be happier if we threw away our weapons and were a bit more feminine? And when oh when will a chariot enter the plot?
2021-02-0842 minBard's Eye ViewSins of the PastFlimFlam and Wonko review Sins of the Past. Why is Lucy Lawless so pretty? Why are we, two lesbians, thirsting over Draco? Just what exactly is the average Greek warlord's business model? These, and other questions, will not be answered in this review.
