Mortified! The Friendship Quest

Every Monday, hosts Aaron and Leyla bounce a media recommendation to one another in order to bolster - or in some cases, really, really test - their long-distance friendship. Join us for a discussion on anything from our favorite Terrible Boys to the profitability of grown men dressing up as Bulbasaur and loudly shouting their own names.

Okay, so this one's a lot y'all. We watched the Vanessa Anne Hudgens trifecta rom com "The Princess Switch: Switched Again," and the Pink Christmas episode of the Jaden Smith anime Neo Yokio, AND THEN we ranked our favorite episodes of this year in a March Madness-style tournament. It's a hell of a way to close out our first season, and I'm so glad you're all here to experience it with us.
