Leaked files expose China's efforts to erase the history of the Tiananmen Square massacre. We also take a closer look at Helldivers 2’s epic battle for Super Earth and explore some unusual manga news from Japan.

Plus, we tackle some listener questions, dissecting the political layers and cultural significance of the Andor series. And don’t miss our setup for an in-depth conversation on the mid-90s anime that impacted a generation in Australia.
