E 21: New Year, Same Nerds | Living in a Post Barbie Movie World

We're all going to miss the year of Barbie. So we discuss what about it impacted us personally and how we're going to keep finding joy in our dreams. TAKE UP SPACE QUEEN. 
 
Yeah, yeah. We know we're late. I like to think it adds to our charm. It's never to late to revist those New Years hype lists. 
 
If you're watching on YouTube, we're so sorry hahahha. It's not framed well and Jelaire's camera went out four mins before we finished recording unbeknownest to us. 
 
Reviews and reshares are always appreciated!!!

E 19: What Exactly the Mirror of Erisid Means | Super Mario Wonder Review

A close look what the Mirror of Erisid shows about characters in the book. We give Ron grace, for perhaps the frist time in FanCorner history and we dissect every moment of the chapter. Then we talk about how the Mirror can be used as a thought experiment in our own lives. What you want most in the world often also reveals your trauma. But it's also the hope that keeps us going.
