    Also, the boys critique the internet's hottest conspiracy theories, and more!

  • Winter 2025 is well underway, and the boys have been watching (mostly) everything the current season of anime has to offer. What's good? What's bad? What's mid? Stay tuned and find out!

    Also, do titles ruin stories, Pokémon lives rent-free in the minds (and hearts) of many, the boys contemplate the inner, psychological complexities of 50% robot, 50% cop, and more!
