by Multitude
Join hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) to talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings. We attempt to unravel how this deceptively expansive game series has touched an entire generation of deeply earnest weirdos - and along the way, we may realize that what we’re talking about might not be just a video game, but a whole lot more. Never heard of Kingdom Hearts? That’s okay! We’re here to break it down for you, explain why we love it, and hopefully to convince you that this weird little story deserves a place in your heart. Join us as we discuss the plot, characters, world building, music, fashion, fanbase, and societal impact of a thing that by all means, probably shouldn’t even exist.

Where are the Pride Lands?
Can you feel the love tonight? The Lion King was Mischa’s very first Special Interest™, and their love for this movie simply could not be contained. And so appears their greatest challenge yet: Overcoming Mayanna’s profoundly neutral stance on one of the most beautiful & successful films of all time! She doesn’t deny the power of its emotional journey, or the value in studying its production process in detail, or how cute all of the baby lions are… Oh yeah, and it appears in Kingdom Hearts briefly! Simba’s a strong Summon, and running around being Lion-Sora is pretty fun. Will that be enough?Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

What is Kingdom Hearts (The Thing)?
When the moon’s a big heart / Like some grand work of art, / That’s amore! Today we’re going all the way back to the origins of the universe to examine what exactly is Kingdom Hearts itself. A symbol of ultimate power, creation, and light (not to mention a style icon in its own right), it’s easy to compare its role in KH lore to the creation myths of our own world. But unlike the real world, you can’t grab the Cosmic Egg with your bare hands and channel its raw power at stuff you don’t like! Which makes that big ol’ heart-shaped moon at least twice as cool.Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

Who are Hayner, Pence & Olette?
If you’re gonna properly convey the stakes of cataclysmic cosmic battles of epic forces to children, at some point you gotta have some like, actual normal kids doing normal kid things! Enter Hayner, Pence & Olette: the coolest crew this side of Sunset Hill, fast friends who just want everyone to be cool and have a good time together, running through the back alleys of Twilight Town. It’s no wonder that so many cosmically-destined kids set adrift through space and time manage to find solace with them (or at least, some version of them): they give us a glimpse of that simple, idyllic childhood that kids with Too Much Going On At Home everywhere aspire to.Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

Where is Beast’s Castle?
Tale as old as time, world as old as rhyme - today we’re talking about Beast’s Castle, the level based on Beauty and the Beast! A timeless and classic (not to mention, visually stunning) movie which transcended what audiences thought was possible from an animated film, it’s no surprise that its story about a love which transcends what it means to appear human has a deep resonance with the characters and themes of Kingdom Hearts. What exactly is the power of love - and could Organization XIII possibly harness the Beast’s love somehow, a power so strong it allowed him to punch reality in the face?Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

What is a Replica?
Can a copy ever be as real as the original? For the sake of our faves, we hope so - today we’re talking about Replicas! A vessel crafted with care to house memories and hearts… but aren’t we all? Specifically we’re talking about Even/Vexen’s Replica program, and how a noble pursuit of knowledge spun radically out of one scientist’s control and became a crucial weapon in the ultimate battle at the end of the world. But it also allowed characters we thought we’d lost forever a second life - in the cases of Roxas, Xion & Naminé, one arguably much better than their first! I guess it’s really true what they say: guns aren’t people, Replicas are people.Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

Where is The World That Never Was?
Part city, part spaceship, all vibes - today we’re talking all about The World That Never Was, the homebase world for Organization XIII. An empty facade of a world, reflecting the empty facades of its masters the Nobodies, it relies mostly on vibes to justify its existence at all. I mean, it’s got ordinary hallways with names like “Ruin & Creation’s Passage” - settle down a little! And then, when Xemnas populates it, he only does so with rage and suffering… which is maybe we’re not so sad to see it go, in the end. Should the World That Never Was ever should have been?Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.

Who is Xion?
Xion, the forgotten 14th member of Organization XIII, was originally a Replica made to absorb overflow power from Sora and Roxas (and replace them should they prove too willful and defiant). But Xion manages to take those scattered pieces and create something wholly new for herself. Her existence is a constant fight… one she, unfortunately, goes on to lose, so that Sora can be properly returned to the story. But despite all she goes through, Xion proves that we are more than the sum of our parts, and despite our origins we all deserve a place in this world together - and that’s both beautiful and heartbreaking.Credits- Created & hosted by: Mischa Stanton & Mayanna Berrin- Music: “Sunset Dew” by Lupus Nocte- A member of Multitude- Support us on PatreonAbout UsSimple and Clean is a show where hosts Mischa Stanton and Mayanna Berrin (and friends) talk about Kingdom Hearts, a little video game franchise about really big feelings.
