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.
