Episode 91- Lots of Speculation From Everyone
Greetings! We have quite the news-packed episode this week! We start off with basic stuff, like convention announcements, a new meetup group, and some comic news. And then there's the mountain of merchandise news, in no small part thanks to the New York Toy Fair.
Speaking of which, that toy fair had a surprising amount of non-merchandise news for us! A warning: potential SPOILERS. Alca7raz and Nemesis start with Friendship Games, now officially announced. They have a long discussion about possible directions that movie will be taking. Season 5 news also appeared, although it mostly concerns the premiere. That doesn't stop them from speculating on the rest of the season! They even have a bit about 2016 and beyond! Tune in, we're getting toyetic.
