Jem Girls Podcast

On our podcast, we frequently discuss the concept of time and how we really don’t understand it (and as a couple of former little girls who are turning into a pair of grizzled old hags, time is also our forever enemy). In this week’s episode fittingly called “Out of the Past,” we flashback-back-back it up to the past and then flashback to the future so many times, we got whiplash (whiplash-back?) 

For reasons, Jerrica and the Holograms uncover Emett Benton’s (Jerrica and Kimber’s creepy ass dad, for those of you who can’t remember) old treasure chest full of family pictures, his journal, and other doodads from the past. They learn about their hot bitch of a mother, Jacqui Benton who, aside from being a hot mom in an assortment of halter tops, was also apparently a singer-songwriter. 

More importantly, though, we learn of how there was some other random orphan girl way back in the day who Kimber probably swallowed whole out of spite. We also learn more of the origin story of how Synergy came to be. Long story short: Jacqui Benton dies, Emett abandons his daughters and his livelihood to create a holographic sexbot demon in a jazzercise outfit using the soul of his dead wife. He probably stuck his floppy disk in her from time to time, and spewing his load into this sentient machine was the only thing keeping him alive.

Why Mr. Benton felt it was necessary to create Synergy is still largely a mystery, though experts (aka Drs. Orifice Jones and Hakuna Matitties) have posited that he was in cahoots with the Lord of Eyeballs, or perhaps other nefarious beings from the underworld. His final plans for Synergy have not yet been revealed to us, but it is possible that the little orphan Starlight girls are actually farmed as an important energy source for Synergy. 

Only time will tell what will become of Synergy and the Holograms. But Eye remain resolute in my faith that the Lord (of Eyeballs) has something to do with it! 

Gotta keep them eyes peeled, people!
