Holiday Hot Takes 2019 - LD#3

(*PLEASE READ*) We've run into some more technical issues that you'll hear at the end of this episode. Still working out the kinks of recording while living across the country from each other, but we appreciate you bearing with us.

It's the holiday season and that means uncomfortable and tense arguments with your family and friends! To keep in this spirit of pissing off those closest to you, Bo and Ed are sharing their most controversial takes on video games, movies, and more. Holiday Hot Takes was one of the best things we did in the first iteration of Loosely Defined and we're psyched to bring it back!
