Ho boy do we have a show for you this week ladies and gentlemen, as Joseph and Andrew get really talkative over a slew of subjects. Hope you don't mind more than a couple off-topic discussion, as the spirit of Manga Pulse seems to really be with us today. Andrew leads us off this week though with his continuing love of golf, and Joseph has had one of the worst experiences in a movie theater yet. Industry news comes in with topics like the best imoutos, and Netflix trying their hand at making an original anime. (Spoilers; It's pretty bad.) And for reviews Andrew goes all in on gambling for your life, and Joseph takes a trip to the 'W' dimension.
