Welcome to the 17th episode of Let’s Unpack That! We’re two friends, Cal and Chevall, who decided to start a podcast where we analyze media under a critical, appreciative lens. To start, we’re reading the legendary manga Berserk together for the first time and recording our reactions, analysis and BSing about the manga from the late Kentaro Miura, who died May 6, 2021 at the age of 54.

This week, Cal and Chevall talk about how fun, but empty, the new Pokemon game is and why they expect more from game companies they respect before going back to Casca’s backstory with Griffith, including a deeper look into why Griffith makes certain decisions. Stick around for Chainsaw Man and the Licorice Pizza (?) age gap talk at the end!
