In this weeks episode we discuss Castlevania, the hit video game series turned hit Netflix series, and the show's themes of knowledge, technology, rightful anger, and sympathy (but mostly about how relatable Dracula is).
Part 2 of our season 1 finale! Sorry for the delay in uploading, we had to change our music after we discovered a dispute in copyright and we procrastinated on editing this half for longer than we should have. Look forward to a more regular upload schedule soon!

In this weeks episode we discuss Castlevania, the hit video game series turned hit Netflix series, and the show's themes of knowledge, technology, rightful anger, and sympathy (but mostly about how relatable Dracula is). For this week's Mini Bits we talk about Elon Musk's supposed takeover of Twitter.
For our Season 1 finale, we had to record remotely, so we apologize for any issues with our recording quality. We also ended up talking for so long that we've split our Castlevania episode into two parts. Look forward to Part 2 soon!
