96: 6x10 "Old Ares Had a Farm"

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, *cue banjo*. Vera, Katie, and Livy are making hay with 6x10 "Old Ares Had a Farm," one of the show's final, and most lovable, comedies. We discuss its use of nostalgia, not just in the subplot about Xena's childhood, but also in its hiring of director Charles Siebert, who directed many Xena eps in the first two seasons and whose style here recaptures some of that early-show goofiness. Plus: Kevin Smith's finest hour, R.J. Stewart's character-based comedy, Gabrielle and Xena love milkmaid roleplay, the glorious return of GOONS, so many animal reaction shots, sound effects galore, Greba McEntire, Gabs gets into character, and that classic fanfic 'there's only one bed' scenario.

The power, the passion, the podcast!
