32:02: Warner Bros. Discovery has been making a lot of strange and bad choices over the past few months, but at least for now, Toonami will still stick around.
33:10: There’s probably more to the voice actor outspeeding a racehorse in a 250m Dash than the first paragraph Kim wrote, but neither of the hosts actually care…just the first paragraph is enough for them!
34:03: Somehow, we’re in a timeline where a Japanese court can side with a VTuber...I’m not sure anyone back in the 80’s or 90’s could’ve foreseen a case like this.
35:29: And in final bit of weird news, the 90’s American live-action Sailor Moon pilot has finally gone public. Many Sailor Moon fans were stoked about it. But for Helen, let’s just say she has a bit of rant about the entire situation involving this and the Library of Congress!
