  Episode 4 review.

  While it's nice to get that Pegg/Frost cameo that the live-action movie sorely lacked, real Blankies are repping that notorious heterosexual Griffin Newman. I don't know why he has a different minor role in every single episode like he's animation's Stan Lee, but I'm glad for it.

  I wish I lived in a world of pretty hand-colored outfits and dancing lesbians.
