Everything is Fascist!/Castlevania talk with Colonel: Island Gems Ep. 7
So here is another episode where we play a few clips. You can check those out on Youtube. Regardless, I go on a 30 minute rant on why I think shows I've never seen are fascist and bad, probably sounding like an idiot, and Raul then says he doesnt like Evangelion which is even more wack. We also talk about Castlevania with our friend Colonel.
We are sorry this episode is so late. We'll try and get em out once a month, every 14th from now on.
Cheers - Jay
