Disclaimer: a longer unedited version of this podcast is available on the Patreon - A Snyder Cut, if you will. This week! Jeremy and Candace bring back a segment we've not done in a while - The Shirefolk Soapbox! Jeremy takes the soapbox to air his opinion that the film industry has a never-ending problem of serialised storytelling, and how it's having a knock on effect within the TTRPG Actual Play community. And Candace takes to the soapbox to talk about the grip that Blue Prince has on her! Also, head over to the Patreon where we will endeavour to record 'Candace's Most Offensive Takes On Anime'. Our anime loving producer is INTRUIGED AND SCARED.
