Mortified! Episode 15- Haikyuu
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.

** The news about Paul Krueger and his abusive behavior came out a couple of weeks after we recorded this episode, because that's how our timing works, apparently. We decided to keep this episode up because the book is still in circulation and isn't necessarily bad, but we also can't not acknowledge that Paul Krueger is a bad person.
Leyla and I discuss Paul Krueger's 2019 fantasy novel about Pokemon and imperialism, "Steel Crow Saga." Topics covered include our favorite terrible sons (aka the "Nezha Curve"), grappling with reparations for war crimes, and how you could technically win a battle by dropping a shark on someone.

This week, Leyla and I watched about 2/3rds of the 2016 Naruto Spectacular. It was a wild, surprisingly not terrible ride. We discuss the show's incredible costumes, dedicated character actors, and what current properties we'd like to adapt into live-action nightmares.
