S3 EP1: Ships in the Night (Coworkers Edition) - The Pitt & Zootopia
We’re kicking off Season 3 of Ships Ahoy! with — you guessed it — another instalment of our tried and true, all-time favorite question to ask on this podcast: “Is this a ship?” It’s a Ships in the Night episode, but with a twist — this time, it’s all about those delightful and romantically coded...
-
S2 EP12: Ships in the Night (#5) - Thunderbolts* & The Fantastic Four: First Steps
We’re nothing if not creatures of habit, so it’s only fitting that we cap off Season 2 of Ships Ahoy! by revisiting our most-frequently-discussed cinematic universe (Marvel) and asking our most-frequently-raised question (“Is this a ship?”). The focus here is Bob/Yelena from Thunderbolts* (2025),...
-
S2 EP11: Testing the Waters (#2) - TSITP, Cap 4, Stranger Things, 9-1-1
***Disclaimer: this episode was actually recorded a whopping six months ago(…), and for a handful of frankly nonsensical reasons, we haven’t released it until now… after three out of the four ships have already had their onscreen follow-ups (it’s fine — don’t worry about it 😅). Even though this...
-
BONUS: Heartbreak Island - The Wrestler
As we always say, we're constantly on the lookout for new romantic subplots. In this episode, Christina brings on (her very first!) guest podcaster to discuss the Academy Award-nominated movie, The Wrestler. Join us as we reflect on the budding, but ultimately tragic, romance between Randy and…

S2 EP10: Cut and Run - Ships We'll Never Cover...
As this podcast has proven, ships can always be found by those who know where to look, but it would be impossible to cover them all in full. In this episode, Jill and Christina surprise each other with three of their favourite scenes from ships that wouldn't otherwise make it onto the pod (for...
-
S2 EP9: Ships in the Night (#4) - Twisters & A Quiet Place: Day One
In what has inadvertently become our most frequent category on this podcast, it’s time for another round of the tried-and-true game, “Is this a ship?”, this time featuring ships from two very new releases, so be warned: there are spoilers ahead! We’ll be talking all things Eric/Sam from A Quiet...
-
S2 EP8: Ocean Liners - The Fall Guy
Confession time — while we know our bread and butter on this podcast is the analysis of romantic subplots, every now and again, we get lucky enough to find a movie where the romance is actually front and center (as it should be, if you ask us). In this episode, we discuss what many would consider...
-
S2 EP7: Ferry Tale Endings - Elemental & The Little Mermaid (2023)
We’re back for another round of "ferry" tale endings, and this time the focus is on the adorable ships in two movies from the summer of 2023 — Elemental (Ember/Wade), and the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid (Ariel/Eric). Sometimes a happily ever after is exactly what we’re looking for,...
-
S2 EP6: Uncharted Waters - Loki Season 2
In a show that’s all about the intricacies of time, the time has finally come for us to talk about Loki and Sylvie in Loki Season 2. As will quickly become clear when listening, though, this episode is a little…different than the rest. 🎥Shownotes: 36:47 - a fantastic rewrite of the ending of...
-
S2 EP5: Ships in the Night (#3) - The Marvels
It’s been nearly five years since Captain Marvel (2019) introduced Carol and Maria to the world (see Season 1 Episode 11), and so in celebration of Carol’s sequel, The Marvels (2023), Jill is joined this week by her friends Ava and Cy (two of the world’s biggest proponents of the CarolMaria...
-
S2 EP4: Buried Treasure - The Hustle and Miss Congeniality
Come join us for our third instalment of Buried Treasure! For those who are new here, in this type of episode, we focus on that delightful feeling of watching a movie and then realizing partway through that there’s actually a surprise ship in there to enjoy! The couples in the spotlight this week...
-
S2 EP3: Heartbreak Island - Wonder Woman, WW84
Not every ship gets to sail off into to the sunset, but that doesn’t mean the love story wasn’t memorable, and the Steve/Diana ship certainly proves that. This week, Jill and Christina revisit this couple’s tragic tale as shown in Wonder Woman (2017) and Wonder Woman 1984 (2020), and maybe even...
-
BONUS: Catching the Wave - Loki S2 Ep 1-2
We just can't stay away from our beloved Loki and Sylvie, can we? Interrupting our regularly scheduled Ships Ahoy programming, here's a mid-season check-in on that duo. We'll be back when all is said and done to thoroughly dissect their relationship, but for now, enjoy this "brief" look into the...
-
S2 EP2: Speedboats - Short Films
Do you ever find yourself in the mood for a love story but without enough time to commit to an entire multi-hour voyage with the characters? This week, Jill and Christina seek to remedy that (admittedly somewhat niche) problem by devoting an entire episode to the coverage of five wonderful,...

All good things must come to an end, and that includes the first season of this podcast. After months of teasing this episode, Jill and Christina are finally ready to share their "one true ships" - AKA the pairing each of them hold the most dear, and whom they will never truly get over. Jill's…

S1 EP11: Ships in the Night (#2) - Captain Marvel & Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3

more -
S1 EP10: Ferry Tale Endings - Tangled & Frozen
As any romantic subplot fan will know, some of the best ships never actually sail. However, every so often, we get a fairy tale (or rather, a "ferry" tale...) ending. In this week's episode, Christina and Jill discuss the couples from two of the most popular animated Disney movies from the 2010s…
more -
S1 EP9: Cargo Ships - WandaVision
Jill might be steering the ship on her own this week, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to discuss as she journeys through the complicated relationship of Marvel's Wanda Maximoff and Vision. Spanning five movies and a TV show, and featuring multiple versions of both Vision and Wanda, this...

-
S1 EP7: Buried Treasure (Dave Franco Edition) - Nerve & Now You See Me 2
It's time for another round of Buried Treasure, aka those wonderful ships that we weren't expecting and that then made their movies better. This time, it's the Dave Franco edition, as we turn our attention to two 2016 movies starring the man himself as one half of each of Now You See Me 2's Jack...
-
S1 EP6: Rafting Up - Agent Carter & Enola Holmes
While Christina's away this episode, in her place is a guest appearance from our very own composer, Manu!

-
S1 EP5: Abandoned Ships - Fantastic Beasts, The Hobbit, WandaVision
Listen — the life of a shipper isn't all glitz and glamor.
