This week on NAFC, the crew dives into a mixed bag of topics that only they could somehow string together. Zea kicks things off with a look back at the parenting milestone that is teaching her kids to shower by themselves. It turns out, this is a bigger deal than anyone might think, and the conversation is as much about practicality as it is about the inevitable chaos that ensued.

Next up, the gang jumps headfirst into the age-old debate: Anime vs. Cartoons. Where do you draw the line, and does it even matter? Expect some heated (and probably pointless) arguments as the crew tries to settle this once and for all—or at least until next week.

On the movie front, Mox brings an update on the "Deadpool & Wolverine" box office numbers, which are still sky-high, much to no one’s surprise. Meanwhile, the "Borderlands" movie has tanked, adding yet another title to the growing list of video game movies that just can’t seem to get it right. The team even tallies up how many of these flops they’ve subjected themselves to, and let’s just say, it’s a depressing count.
