Welcome to the 25th 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.

This week, Cal and Chevall make an important announcement before they talk about the new hotness DNF Duel and their recent gaming habits. Then, we get back to Guts being confronted by Griffith in front of The Band of the Hawk. Is Guts really about to make his exit?
