👹"The seeds of misfortune, when in peaceful soil, can be easy to overlook."👹

We descend into perhaps one of the darkest eps of Visions: Season 1 with a message about aging and trying to escape that which comes for us all.

A MUST go. So ready for round two there.

Pachimon Wars was one of the highlights of the Star Wars portion of our trip to Japan. Delightful bar that celebrates everything we love about Star Wars. And the people were amazing.

Do yourself a favor and check it out if you can! Can't wait to go back.

We discuss this special and delightful episode from Science Saru while questioning why it's so hard for some fans to accept this sophisticated, yet unabashedly kid-friendly tale.

I love poo himbo

An image from Hollow Knight- the red rotund dung beetle perched in the poopy earth next to the tiny hollow Knight. The caption says- " entirely my fault. I mistook you for one of those mindless skulking husks, yet you bested me in the most majestic knghtly fashion."

While we talk a lot about how much this episode suffers from constant, heavy-handed references, it can't be overstated just how beautifully animated and daring this episode is.

We're cruising through #StarWarsVisions Season 1! Today: Studio Trigger's beautiful, yet far too reference-heavy, "The Twins!"
