Episode 314 – Rise Above The Trash Buckets f/ Lauren Moran

Lauren

This week, Chris and special guest host Elle Collins talk to artist Lauren Moran about her work designing t-shirts for WWE (and other Ajax-favorite franchises), as well as her controversial sixth-grade opinion that everyone who watched WCW was “a garbage person.” Don’t worry, we don’t let that one go unchallenged. Plus, Batman Returns is attacked and defended and the new Betty & Veronica #1 gets a very mystified review.

  • Elle’s check and rec: The overwhelming amount of Steven UniverseAnother Period
