Let us tell you a story about about a mage who has a wolf's skull for a head. Interested?

Oh, we don't actually have a story like that.. But, coincidentally, the boys review The Ancient Magus' Bride!

Also, Jay is partaking in his favorite pastime: watching trash anime, Mike wants to discuss "spoilers", Cole plays games, and more!

*Insert song lyrics that are relevant to starting a band* That's right! We're building bands out of anime characters! Will they be good? Would you listen to them? We doubt it, but it'll be fun anyway! The boys also discuss the best "western" OPs!

Also, Mike took his wife out for her birthday, Jay came back from his chess trip, Cole won't shut up about some game called "Cialis" or something (i don't know or care), and more!
