Hello friends, and welcome to EPISODE 100, here at long last!!!

This week we have with us our most frequent guest, Ms. Zephyr! Together we talk one of the best low-key animated films of last year, the kid-centric movie adaptation of the smash hit books, Captain Underpants! Join us for some low-yet-highbrow fun!

You may be asking yourself: “Why did you choose Captain Underpants as your Episode 100? Well, we ask back: Why not? ALSO it was a ton of fun and spoke to our inner 8-year-olds, and don’t we need that?
