More time travelling exploits as Amy pitches the unique, acclaimed anime series Frieren to Joe, and then jumps into the future to find out Joe's reaction once he's finally caught up!

Amy and Joe have a fun chat about the various animated shows they are currently enjoying. From the innocent joy of Bluey to the sordid antics of Harley Quinn, they've got you covered! If you have seen the shows then it's great to compare thoughts - and if you've not seen anything then you will pick up some great tips of things to check out - so either way it's a win-win situation! Here are some timestamps (not accounting for any adverts) if you want to jump to a certain part: 1:10: Shows we've only just started watching (various); 12.00: Lower Decks;   19:05: Disenchantment; 25:30: The Legend of Vox Machina; 29:05: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off; 39:30: Star Vs the Forces of Evil; 43:20: Harley Quinn; 47:15: Bluey; 53:30: Helluva Boss 58:45: Fionna and Cake; 1:03:45: Future shows and films we are excited about.

It's the next instalment of our spectacular time-traveller's pitch series, where once again we toy with the very fabric of the universe, all for the sake of a cartoon! Joe welcomes a new guest to the show, Graham Williamson - podcaster, writer and film-maker extraordinaire - to give an exuberant fanboy's pitch about the acclaimed mini-series 'Over the Garden Wall'. Joe then jumps forward in time, using science and stuff, to check out Graham's reaction after seeing the series for himself. If you have not seen 'Over the Garden Wall' then you get to learn about your favourite (probably) new show - and if you have seen it then you get to experience the joy of a newbie's reaction - so either way it's win-win, right?! Enjoy our latest time-travelling exploits and let us know your feedback.
