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.

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.

Leyla and Aaron discuss Tamsyn Muir's, "Gideon the Ninth," best described as "Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space!" (Lots of Spoilers!) We discuss its sprawling cast of characters, our individual morbidity tolerances, and most importantly, trash Love Never Dies. CW: violence, body horror

Leyla and Aaron watch the first season of the 2017 anime Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. We gush about how a mediocre show can pull off incredible character moments, and also why Sasuke Uchiha is a garbage boy stink man.
CW Fatphobia, child abandonment
