   Ep. 31 | I've Watched Enough Zombie Movies to Prepare Me for the Apocalypse

   Hello! This week I (Sanika) am back with another solo episode. Over the past six months, I've started watching a lot of pandemic/zombie movies for obvious reasons, and this week I was feeling particularly passionate about them. As such, I decided to review all of the movies and shows I've watched...

   Bonus Ep. 4 | Dry Text Existentialism

   A lot of things happened to me last night in the span of just a few hours and I just had to sit down and record a quick bonus episode for y'all.

   Ep. 28 | The SSSS Tier Comeback Special (Pt. 2)

   We recorded this before Good News was released, and before BE was released, and before Taemin's newest comeback(s), AND CL's HWA came out, so go stream all of those because this episode got released very late. Speaking of which, sorry for uploading so inconsistently! Both Chelsea and I suddenly…

   Ep. 26 | The SSSS Tier Comeback Special

   After the recent comebacks in the past two months, we have officially deemed ourselves music critics. Do we have deep insightful commentary..?

    I'll be honest, I have no clue what this video is either. This week, I go on a (clearly) sleep-deprived rant where I juggle talking about pants and giving advice for high schoolers at the same time. Is this advice good? Probably not, but that's okay because everyone has different perspectives. I...
