The fat pink curse rides again aka why does every show we like suffer a sophomore slump? We chat a bit about Empire, The Flash, and HTGAWM before diving into the latest Sleepy Hollow episode. Crane has two awkward dates that we could’ve been spared and a Caribbean lady wrecks havoc on the Hollow (likely because of the lack of good roti). Plus, Grace Dixon is back and delightful as usual.

Here’s what you missed last time:

We go IN on this blatant crossover episode so prepare yourselves for some critical tea.

Next Time:  

Sleepy Hollow –  The Art of War The race of save Jenny Mills from a killer rock is on!

Sleepy Hollow’s showrunners continue to misunderstand their fanbase. We go IN on this blatant crossover episode so prepare yourselves for some critical tea. We also chat about why the show seems determined to render Abbie sexless–despite her very obvious attractiveness–and why the show’s historical fiction doesn’t really push boundaries.

Once again, welcome special guest @melinapendulum who’s filling in for M!

Here’s what you missed last time:

We bid our time until Betsy rides off into the sunset in the arms of another.

Next Time:  

Sleepy Hollow –  This Red Lady From Caribee Brap brap brap, Pandora calls upon on a fabulous West Indian gyal to wreak some havoc in the Hollow.

Crane continues to test Abbie’s patience (and ours) by regressing as a character. Pandora remains a flawless thorn in the witness’ side by conjuring up a ghastly creature that makes us glad that we no longer have baby teeth to lose. Jenny and Abbie get a little development and battle someone else’s childhood demons for a change. And we bid our time until Betsy rides off into the sunset in the arms of another.

We’re also joined by special guest melinapendulum!

M and J attempt to stop talking about Hamilton for a whole 2 minutes.

Next Time:  

Bones x Sleepy Hollow –  The Resurrection in the Remains/Dead Men Tell No Tales Wait, there’s a Sleepy Hollow/Bones crossover, what crossover?

A sexist raven flies through our window and drops us a Sexy Betsy gossip bomb. M and J attempt to stop talking about Hamilton for a whole 2 minutes. We wonder if Ichabod will end up chained in Miss Cornith’s basement. And of course, we imagine that at some point Abbie will be told to stop bringing her boyfriend to FBI crime scenes.

Here’s what you missed last time:

Fat Pink Cast goes to New York Comic Con and finds themselves wondering why Sleepy Hollow’s PR team can’t get it together.

Next Time:  

Bones x Sleepy Hollow –  The Resurrection in the Remains/Dead Men Tell No TalesWait, there’s a Sleepy Hollow/Bones crossover, what crossover? We’ll also have a special guest filling in for M while she’s off traveling in a far away land.

Fat Pink Cast goes to New York Comic Con and finds themselves wondering why Sleepy Hollow’s PR team can’t get it together. We also lament the creation of sexy Betsy and wish she were more like the Schuyler sisters instead of a Kate Beaton parody. And last, but not least…we question why every lady within 20 miles is after Ichabod’s Bedfordshire Clanger.

In a surprising twist of fate, Sleepy Hollow is back with a solid season 3 premiere, as is Sleepy Pink Cast! Join as we discuss Beck–er Betsy Ross and her new found skill set, Abbie and Ichabod’s brand new haircuts, and our fresh hopes and dreams for season 3.

Next Time:  

Sleepy Pink Cast –  Whispers in the Dark  We ask all the important questions such as, why are there dementors in Sleepy Hollow?

Join FatPinkCast as we go back in time to remember when Sleepy Hollow was pretty darn good.  It might be our last trip on the S.S. Ichabbie…

In this podcast, we talk about the series—cough—season finale of Sleepy Hollow. We follow the Leftenant Nicole Awesome Beharie on her adventures in the 70’s…(the 1770s),  Marvel as she meets up with alternate universe Ichabod—complete with pilgrim hat.  Observe awkwardly as Ben Franklin calls her a dream boat and squeal when she meets Granny Grace.   This is why Irving wasn’t going “If you want him, you can buy him on eBay.”

Relive the first half of Sleepy Hollow’s epic season finale with the grumpiest ship captains on the salty fandom seas! Find out why we think Sleepy Hollow, Scandal and HTGAWM take place in the same universe and what we think Crane’s favourite films would be. Listen as we beg for webisodes (and Daniel Henney) and figure that maybe Abbie’s Arbor Day comment was simply just a joke that we didn’t get.

Sleepy Hollow – What Lies Beneath
Sleepy Hollow introduces a really interesting plot point and blows it up.

We’re back in business! It’s our final recap of the season and hopefully it won’t be the last.

We get a Katrina and witch-focused episode and learn the true story behind the Salem witch trials–a hurt nice guy rejected by a lady.  Also, Jonelle explains how Sleepy Hollow should bake a cake and why Katrina’s grandma was like a soggy-skinned chicken.

Here’s what you missed last time around:

Sleepy Hollow – Kali Yuga
If you thought an episode with Ichabbie karaoke couldn’t be meh, you’d be wrong.  Haul out the Hawley cuz it’s time for awkward cultural appropriation probs.

What’s next:

Sleepy Hollow – What Lies Beneath
Not the bad Harrison Ford/Michelle Pfeiffer movie.  From the previews it looks like Ichabod and Abbie jump down a lot of sewers and  an old timey guy is down one of them.

What doth tptb mean by serialisation? Join us for our riveting recap of how the A plot of this episode probably should have been the B plot. Also, there’s an old timey dude with cherry pie filling all over his face running in and out of paintings?

On this episode of Sleepy Pink Cast, we ponder the “every show we touch disappoints us” curse and chat about Sleepy Hollow’s future.

What’s the M in a certain person’s middle name stand for? Why are Ichabod’s quirks driving us up a wall instead of amusing us like last season? Are we still sailing the #ichabbie ship at full mast? Why won’t this show let Abbie be great?

What’s up next:

Sit yourself for a twofer as Fat Pink Cast’s crew breaks down the Sleepy Hollow mid-season finale.   We discuss both episodes, Magnum Opus, and the Akeda….

(So, how exactly are Moloch and Henry and Katrina related?   Henry and Moloch share the same mother, but Moloch is Henry’s surrogate dad and Henry impregnated Katrina.   Very confusing.)

We debate why Hawley is still here, why they did the thing with Orlando Jones, and why trees and villains on Sleepy Hollow turn blacker when they get eviler.

Here’s what you missed last time around:

Sleepy Hollow – Mama

This show is strongest when it doesn’t sideline it’s key (woc) protagonist!  Join us as we fangirl hard about the episode Mama…

Say did that lass fall through time

Merry of soul, she did get much banged

But the book series it’s based on is….oi.

We don’t have a recap of Sleepy Hollow 2.10 Magnum Opus for you this week, but back in October we caught up with Tom Mison and John Noble at FOX’s Sleepy Hollow-een Pumpkin Patch in NYC, so we hope you enjoy this special interview edition of Sleepy Pink Cast instead!

As always, you can catch up on our previous Sleepy Hollow recaps in itunes under Fat Pink Cast: Sleepy Pink Cast.

*Trigger Warning for discussion of mental illness, suicide, and institutionalisation* 

On this episode of Fat Pink Cast,

“Do you guys like white boys in dirty coats with long hair? Do you guys like Sleepy Hollow? Are you guys aware that there are diverse people on this show? But would you rather see Ichabod in the front, looking serious about standing in front of all the people of colour on the show–and Katrina? Well then, we have the magazine for you!”

“I feel like they should at least make it Katrina’s choice to kill Henry.”

“Is it paranoid to be constantly looking over your shoulder thinking that someone’s gonna hurt you when you’re walking down the street in your neighborhood at night when that happens?”

“Eyes open, Head up, Trust no one; this is like what black mothers tell their kids now.”

“How scary is it that she was right? They took a shortcut and look at what happened!”

“Is it too late to sell Nick Hawley to you?” “Yeah.”

“We saved you because Frank Irving deserves better than this flop plot.”

On this episode of Fat Pink Cast,

The birth of the #AbbieMillsDeservesBetter tag.

“These two freeloaders are chillin in Abbie’s daddy’s cabin.”

“I would be really angry if they did redeem Henry at this point–after all the shit he’s put Irving through, all the shit he’s put Abbie through, all the shit he’s put Jenny through.”

“This episode reminded me of Sailor Moon.”

“Clearly she was gon’ get killed, her name was Becky.”

“Abbie needs permission to date a flop now?”

“I’d like to propose a drinking game–we should take a sip every time Ichabod and Katrina say ‘thank you’ to Abbie.” “Ha, we’d be sober.”

“At the end of the day, when it comes to Katrina as a character, I’m just angry they’re straight up writing her with the most sexist tropes ever.”

“It’d have been hilarious if they had Katrina in a snuggy at the beginning of the episode.”

“I think, just because the writers have Abbie saying what they want the audience to feel because she represents the audience, doesn’t mean we’re actually gonna buy it, especially when you just showed Abbie doing all the work. It’s really incongruous. You can’t force people to believe something about a character that you haven’t shown to be true.”

“Fly off into the sky on a dragon, far far away from all these terrible white people.”

Here’s what you missed last time around:

Look like someone’s got a case of the Wendigo!

On this episode of the Fat Pink Cast, we list all the reasons why Nick Hawley needs to go (so he can stop stealing all of Jenny Mills’ screentime) and the many ways in which the show can accomplish his exit. We also chat about the shining light in the darkness that is Abbie Mills and Joe Corbin’s complicated, but loving relationship.

Trust me, you’ll love our recap of better days before “Deliverance.”

As always, you can always catch us on our tumblr or on itunes under Fat Pink Cast: Sleepy Pink Cast!

It’s Crane on the Brain as the Sleepy Pink Cast reviews the meh episode of jealous ex girlfriends and fridging x2.

We break down the real reason the mug of microaggressions doomed Ms. Caroline, Ichabod’s Starbucks name, as well as Katrina’s ineffective writing style and more effective murdering style.

Here’s what you missed last time around:

Join us as we recap of our adventures at New York Comic Con (including our tale of playing good cop/bad cop at the Sleepy Hollow Panel), interviewing Marguerite Bennett and last, but not least, Sleepy Hollow episode 2.4, “Go Where I Send Thee.”

Find out what’s “like the plot of a porno,” why we want Ichabod to go to Olive Garden, our theories about how Ichabod’s bone flute led Abbie to the Pied Piper, and why little Sarah Lancaster-Weiss is probably going to need therapy for the rest of her life.

So it turns out that it’s money?   Fat Pink Cast dishes out new Sleepy Hollow casting scoop and explains why the Mills sister are like “Frozen”, but better.  Is Nick Hawley is actually Santa Claus?  Plus, learn about the neurological condition that causes Hodoring, and why righteous rage is all the rage.

Will Daniel Henney ever guest star? What is Katrina’s maiden name? Where did Abraham learn how to read? Does Ichabod call all his special friends Leftenant? Will someone please free Frank Irving? Is there life after battling the Headless Horseman and a giant evil Kinect simultaneously?

We attempt to answer these questions and more in our recap of the latest Sleepy Hollow episode 2.2 —The Kindred!

Before Sleepy episode 2.2—The Kindred airs tonight, here’s our recap of 2.1—This is War!

Find out fascinating information such as when did the term “alarm clock” come into fashion? What’s up with Ben Frankin’s modern day Philly accent and why did he advocate for sleeping with older women? Why is Katrina similar to an iphone? How many times did we utter the word “cute” in relation to (hashtag) Ichabbie?

Join us in the tavern for this special episode of Fat Pink Cast (before the new season of Game of Thrones comes baring teeth like a ravenous direwolf).

Topics around our rowdy table include our recap of the second half of Sleepy Hollow‘s inaugural first season—just in time for Paleyfest—as well as Afrofuturism, Octavia Butler, meeting fabulous fantasy author N.K. Jemisin, rehashing our altercation with George R.R. Martin over the lack of diversity in ASOIAF and Game of Thrones, and Maggie Q’s new role as bad ass pirate queen Ching Shih.
