Fangirl Happy Hour, Episode #5 – Over the Top and Surreal

This week on Fangirl Happy Hour, Fangirl Media Vault Edition, Renay and Ana watch and discuss 12 Monkeys, one of Ana’s favorite SF films. Then, we talk about K. Tempest Bradford’s essay inviting people to challenge themselves to read beyond straight white cisgender men for one year, and the response from fandom, which was both fascinating and absurd. Lastly, we read the first nine volumes of One Piece by Eiichiro Oda, Renay’s favorite manga series about pirates and friendship.
