Hipster & The Nerd & Larry returns to the Boiling Isles one more time to look at The Owl House's third and final season! Join Callie, Brian, and Austin as they discuss the character arcs, action, story progression, and cathartic conclusions that make these final three specials so satisfying.

P.S. In the time since this was recorded, Callie has in fact acquired the Luz and Amity Funko POPs, so please congratulate her on being a nerd.

P.P.S. Since we forgot to tease it in the episode itself, our next episode will be a Wasteland Video covering Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart To Hades and Omen III: The Final Conflict
