In this episode, Captain Kaye, The Animation Guru, and the Crazy Lemur share their thoughts on the brand new Helluva Boss special, "Mission: Zero," The Legend of Hei II, and of course, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle!

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my esteemed co-hosts, the Animation Guru, and everyone’s favorite Crazy Lemur, Bri! The last time we talked about Demon Slayer was roughly 4 years ago, back when Mugen Train was released in the US. We cannot overstate how massively popular this anime has become since then, because Infinity Castle was breaking all sorts of records at the box office last weekend. We talk about that, plus so much more on this week’s episode, so tune in to hear the full discussion!

That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us!
