After a long break, the crew is back! Instead of our usual deep-dive review, we’re taking it easy this week and catching up on what we’ve been watching and reading lately. From anime binges to book stacks, the conversation drifts into how we, as writers, connect with the stories we love—and sometimes overanalyze them. It’s a relaxed, story-heavy hangout that feels like a return to form, and a reminder of why we started this podcast in the first place.
