All that led into chapter 1031 where a warrior of science asks his brother to look out for him if he "loses himself" LISTEN and learn this episode. lastly, I have a Sanji/ Scabby Queen theory that's pretty good.Follow me on Instagram @nekowhite93 WATCH DARK OUT on YOUTUBECheck Out the Other Paperhouse Network Shows Follow the...

Movie OubliettePaperhouse (featuring Bernard Rose)Director Bernard Rose joins us for a look back at his first theatrical feature film, the dark fantasy Paperhouse (1988). It features Charlotte Burke as a British schoolgirl who, while bedridden with glandular fever (or 'mono' for those across the pond), finds herself experiencing recurring dreams in which she visits an isolated house she drew herself. She soon discovers that she can add additional things to the drawing and they appear in the house, but sometimes they don't come out as benign as she intended... An atmospheric, stark film that dissolves the boundaries between dream and reality, Paperhouse bears all th...

She and Daddy beam at each other and form a yin and yang seal and that's just the first to see and speculate wildly on. Kaido has an odd perspective on why Wano is a secluded place. Could it be that it really is a weapons factory but it's not supposed to be? Then we get Robin vs Black Maria, and the Robin moments are too good. She and Brook handle their biz. Then we...

I discuss how I felt then and with hindsight how I feel now. And did "TOUGH LOVE" help me and would it help comics if it happened more today? Is the new generation benefiting from not having older comics treat them poorly for no reason? Or are they suffering from it? Honestly,,,,,,,,, do we need bullies?
