Across the Mooniverse is a goofy idea thought up by two nerdy friends who love Sailor Moon.
One is a seasoned veteran in the ways of Love and Justice. The other is a fresh-faced newbie choosing to dip their toes in the water after getting full-force DUNKED into the sparkly world of Magical Girls.
Mike has questions. Maddie has answers. Neither has a filter. and Both have too much time on their hands.
Join us every other Moonday for bishoujo, banter, and bonding!

EP 23 - Good Girl Gone Bad
In this episode the hosts discuss Season 1 Episode 23 "Wish Upon a Star: Naru's First Love" Usagi learns that her best friend, Naru, has fallen for Masato Sanjoin AKA Nephrite. After seeking advice from colleagues and friends, she works up the courage to warn Naru to stay away from the guy she loves. Meanwhile Nephrite is desperate to find the Legendary Silver Crystal in order appease a furious Queen Beryl. He exploits Naru's feelings for his human persona and manipulates her into commiting crimes in an attempt to locate the coveted Jewel. When the Sailor Guardians show up to save the day, Naru risks her life to protect the guy she loves with all her heart. This creates a dilemma for the Pretty Guardian who fights for Love and for Justice. Madz and Hollywood Mike discuss power dynamics between writers and directors in TV versus film. We learn that a homosexual male Zoisite was voiced by a woman in the original 90's dub so Western viewers would think he was a girl being embraced by Kunsite. They reference The Dark Crystal's gelflings and it turns out Madz may have been named after Cybill Shepard's character in the 80's detective dramedy Moonlighting.
