This week we take a break from chatting with lovely guests so that we can do a deep dive on our thoughts regarding the Legend of Zelda movie that just got announced. Will Link talk? Why did they choose to make it live action rather than animated? Will we ever know peace after the cast list is announced? Beats me, but we discuss it all! ⭐️ Join our Patreon and Hear Episodes Early:https://www.patreon.com/thoughtbubbleyt💬 Join Our Discord:▸ https://discord.gg/zSznbVKRVu📲 Follow Us:▸ Jon: https:/...
