Well dear Blerdizens, we are here to have a very heated and divisive episode. One so bad that we had to bring back The Afro Puff Samurai from her self-imposed exile to lay the law down!

It’s quite the shocking day dear Blerdizens! We have a review of the 28 Years Later movie, a movie that was much anticipated by our dear hosts.

Here we are dear Blerdizens. To finish out our Uchiha Study Series, we take a look at none other that the Black Air Force Certified Demon himself, Madara Uchiha! After a quick intro, we discuss the origins of Madara (1:46), his influence on the Naruto world, and what kind of MENACE he is to society! Let the war begin!
Here we are dear denizens. The Uchiha character study is in full swing, and we go on to discuss the companion character to the first, his little brother: Sasuke Uchiha. We touch on his tragic childhood (2:05) and his time in Team 7. Then we get into his rogue arc and gradual decline before he comes back to the light (14:40). And for an added bonus, we poke major jabs at Sakura Haruno. We don’t stan Sakura around here!!!
We’ve finally arrived, dear denizens. The Uchiha character study is here, and we kick things off full throttle as we look at the life of one of the most complicated characters in the Naruto series, Itachi Uchahi.
