Our first episode after a very unexpectedly long hiatus from traditional podcasting is also our first spoilercast in over a year!!

Tune in for our unfiltered, (mostly) unedited, rambling thoughts, and thanks for sticking with us after all this time!
UPDATE: we are officially moving to a monthly cadence for the podcast! catch a new ep every last tuesday of the month. why? well, we want to focus on streaming on twitch more! so go follow us there; we'll be on a lot more frequently :) twitch.tv/whatthefuncast
