Episode 38. Merry Christmas! This week we discuss Happy! And we compare and contrast the comic book and the tv show based off of it. Happy! is about an alcoholic ex-cop turned hitman that has a heart attack. When he wakes up he can see a flying blue unicorn telling him to go save a little girl who was kidnapped by someone dressed as Santa. It is balls to the wall insane.

Episode 37. This week we discuss Rise of the Guardians! Melissa pitched Christmas… adjacent films and Rise of the Guardians fits that bill perfectly. It follows Jack Frost as he is chosen to be a new member of The Guardians, a secret group of beings, like Santa and the Easter Bunny, who help protect the joy of the children all around the world. The reason Jack Frost is picked to join their ranks is because a new threat has arisen to destroy the world!

Episode 36. This week we discuss Kino's Journey: A Beautiful World - The Animated Series. Dang that's a mouthful. However, Kino's Journey is an anime that follows a girl, Kino, and her talking motorcycle, Hermes as they travel from country to country discovering new people and cultures while trying to find the beauty in it all. For this episode we watched the version of Kino's Journey from 2017, but there is also an older version from 2003 that is equally worth the watch.

Episode 35. This week we discuss Little Shop of Horrors! Who doesn't love a little Rick Moranis is their lives? Rick plays an unassuming florist that discovers a new plant that feeds on blood. But the more blood he gives it, the more blood the plant wants. Little Shop of Horrors is a horror comedy musical we are certain you will have fun watching.

However she quickly finds that a few other coworkers are otaku as well, her interests are nothing to be ashamed of, and even love.
