Listen to Movie Review: Gurren Lagann the Movie: Childhood’s End

Bonus episode time! Josh and Andy braved the awful Midwest weather to go see the theatrical re-release of Gurren Lagann the Movie: Childhood’s End! In this review, they go over what stood out most, reminisce on the original series, and generally enjoy being back on the mic together!

This review was done on Andy’s phone, so the quality may be a bit different than other reviews. He managed to clean it up quite a bit still.

Listen to Bonus Episode: Happy Holidays 2020

I cannot believe that we have finally reached the end of 2020 after the last 27 months. Well, it’s felt that long, at least. We have a couple of fun games as well as gift giving. Speaking personally (it’s Andy btw), despite how bad 2020 has been, I am thankful for everything that we have managed to accomplish still this year. And we are all thankful for you, the fans, who continue to listen to us and support our show. Here’s to a hopefully brighter 2021.

This one is a ton of fun!

Also, we are going to start releasing Season 1 over on our YouTube channel! So be on the look out for that!
