  • Incredible.

    The joy I receive when I see a new episode of AD dropped is akin to seeing the waiter bringing my food. I’ve listened for years now and I love hearing Brandon and the boys talk all things animation, though I do favor the anime episodes. I even listen to episodes about shows and movies I haven’t seen. Idc I’ll catch up. Can’t miss the boys talking toons, it’s a nonnegotiable.
