August 27, 2020 We Gotta Talk About...Harry Potter and Game of Thrones
SURPRISE!As much as we love talking about serious topics, we wanted to take a little break to bring you something different. Since Harry Potter was such a big part of our lives and one of the reasons for our friendship we just had to talk about it. Caiteezy recently re-watched Game of Thrones during quarantine so this was the perfect episode for us to diverge from our usual topics. Hope you enjoy hearing our opinions on this two amazing series!
