Banter Banter

Banter Banter - Ep163 - Western WaresAfter sailing the high seas, Manny and Mike find themselves looking at artwork and different views on it.

Anime is not the same as cartoons and we need to accept the responsibility of checking the content before giving it to kids. The Banter Boys get on a soapbox about violence vs. nudity as a double standard for what is ok for kids to consume via media, and ask for a little self reflection on who makes the money off content sales to our children.
