Warren Ellis' Castlevania show for Netflix is about powerful old men who want to bring the world down around them and the OT3 who say "nope" to all that. I'm joined by two critics who know their anime way better than I to talk about the show: Kat Overland is a freelance culture critic and the small press editor at Women Write About comics. Leslie Lee the 3rd is a writer and host of Struggle Session. We open with a Spoiler-free discussion of if you should watch the show. Answer: yes, there are lesbians.
