Welcome to summer, where it’s hot and muggy and probably storming three times a week. While you’re all dealing with the humid heat, stay inside and enjoy our not-always-luminous voices going through the last bit of news bits before Anime Expo happens and we’re all spending hours and hours dissecting every major announcement to come from it. We also talk about how great Across the Spider-Verse* is, how *meh* the third season of Demon Slayer really was, the vibes of the Netflix One Piece trailer, and how cool some video games can be when presented right. And we also go through how terrible union busting is in regards to one particular company we’re all continually losing patience with. But at least Discotek Day is happening on Monday, so enjoy the fun shenanigans before AX next weekend. We’ll be here to run everything down next time.
*This was recorded before details regarding the production of Across the Spider-Verse were reported. None of us support excessive crunch. We all support quality art taking as much time as needed to be made.
