November 27, 2022 We’re a cooking show now..? || Critical Weeb Theory Season 2
Your third favorite anime podcast is back from the dead. You're welcome.

In this episode we go over where we've been, creator burnout, how our views on anime and media consumption have changed in the last year and... cooking? It's the Critical Weeb Theory you know and love, except it actually exists now instead of just being a weird fever dream. Neat!

Code Geass is not very good. In this episode we use that as an excuse to argue for the liberation of Palestine. Stay with us, it's a lot. But it works, we promise :)
