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.

It's clip show time! Please enjoy the best of Mortified over the last 50 episodes! I think it's a great smorgasbord of silly bits, personal anecdotes, and genuinely good media criticism. Can't wait for the next 50!
Notably I did not include the Way of Water episode because that cannot be removed from its original context, if you want to see how the Avatar watch saga concludes, just listen to Ep 127.
