This episode is an unfiltered journey through the latest in cinema, anime, and the controversial reboots that have everyone talking.

In this episode of the Dragoon Slayer podcast, the Blue Dragoon and James Haynes take a clear stance on the upcoming Chronicles of Narnia reboot and issue a direct challenge to Ben Shapiro.

We also share our top anime picks for the season, including the final episodes of Bleach and the return of Ranma 1/2.
