So ends the trilogy. Rob is back to talk about one of the bigger costumes he made from a little show called FLCL. And in pure Rob fashion, that costume was a giant robot, Canti! Sounds easy, right?

Episode Seventy Nine: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
10/5/2022
This episode was not an easy one to record. It's a story we always planned on sharing when we felt the time was right.

This week, a cautionary tale. Always do what's best for you, folks.
