I had given up on recording these Hot Take-filled episodes because the rate at which I watch shows and movies was much faster than I was able to record and upload these ramblings. But I recently watched a weird string of tangentially related cartoons that seemed mildly interesting enough to bust out the mic and put my thoughts out there.
