This week the phrase “The City” is dissected, the podcast gets meta, John might be an actual demon (one easily distracted by pinball), the cryptid might be a goth alien, we’re convinced that the villain of Narnia is on the up and up, Brandon plugs Grimm, John and Brandon deal with an uncomfortable subject, Brandon completely sidesteps the trolley problem, then we round up with John talking vaguely about Final Fantasy and the nature of cats.

This week we finally admit we want to hear from you guys, John laments the loss of a periodical, Marvel alliteration makes another appearance, we talk about when we’d be killed in a horror movie (spoiler: John dies quickly),we have our first ad for a real product (we didn’t get paid , Brandon just loves his pencils), we decide the cryptid needs sympathy, John brings up a DnD campaign out of context again, we get our first recurring character, and of course we go over theories.
P.S. John got a new mic/recording setup, expect a quality bump on episode 5!
