In this week’s episode, Kim & Lee Anne cover a lot of ground -- from the good cats to the joy of a simple rom-com after a long, hard day of mecha shows. We then get in deep on one of our least favorite media tropes - women in refrigerators. Where does it come from, and where can we see it in anime? What does it even mean to be “fridged” anyway? Highlights: Lee Anne makes a bold choice, Kim hates Code Geass chest physics, "Will Someone Please Buy Munakata A Segway???" (No), and Akane “ZeroEscape” Kurashiki says #ScrewFridging.
