The Wii U's Last Game (TM) (don't mention the other ones). Make some time for the Wii U's funeral. Giv...

It's been...so much longer than we thought since we started these...but for now, we are done. Our goal was to go through the "main" Makoto Shinkai movies to see if Your Name could be knocked off the pedestal. With much more insight about his work, is this movie still the king?

There are many Sonic characters. There are also many political positions one may hold. However, only one can become mayor of West Virginia. Sean tasked local WV resident Chris MykonosFan to determine which would most likely win in this state. This was recorded before any 2024 elections so no biases have been shown here.
