On this episode of Conversation Parade, co-hosts Mike Eagle and John Moe ask whether Fionna and Cake are just characters in Ice King’s fan fiction or real characters he sees through his wizard’s eyes, and they talk about about the extent to which dealing with the Ice King is like dealing with someone battling addiction.

10: Death, Religion, and BMO
Conversation Parade takes on the big issues this week in what can only be termed “a very special episode.” What does death mean in the world of Adventure Time when some characters croak and others live forever? And what are we to make of Glob, the nearest thing we have to a deity in this universe? Is he a creator and mastermind of all things or just a four-faced security guard living on Mars who sacrifices himself for dumb reasons? Hosts John Moe and Open Mike Eagle dig into the heavy issues of croaking, Glob, and whether candy had preservatives at the beginning of time. Plus, artist and actor Niki Yang joins us. She’s the voice of BMO and Lady Rainicorn on Adventure Time as well as being an animator on Adventure Time and several other shows. Learn how her two careers complement each other and learn which BMO episode made her cry.
