Content warning: This episode contains a lot of discussion of adult themes, including quite impressive practical gore, drug use, racism, and basically Black Sun is a show for adults by adults. This one is not for the kids.

This week: two hosts, two candidates, only one can be the Content Creation King. It's Kamen Rider: Black Sun.
