I’ll be real, Joshie & I truly love delving into games just as much as we love thinking beyond surface, peeling back the onion- and fostering geguine connection. I decided an off-topic main topic sounded spicy, and you already know I didn’t give Joshie a heads-up.

With the finale of the critically acclaimed Attack on Titan series remaining fresh & current in conversation, Joshie takes the reigns this week to discuss and reflect on the divisive ending & unpack the philosophies hidden within.
