Episode 44 – We The Boys

This month, the Fireside Friends are back on their bullshit with a
discussion of the anime Sanrio Boys. How cute is the anime? Does it come
off as a cynical marketing scheme? Do the boys kiss? The answer to all of
these questions (and more!) can be found in our discussion. Also in this
episode, we ask ourselves: What media did we used to be ashamed of liking?
What did we dismiss at an early age, and what was met with mockery from our
peers?

And finally, the most important question: What’s with the Kidz Bop cover of
All The Small Things?
