Happy October, friends! This week, we're excited to talk about the third round of new #AnimalCrossingLego sets. Guess who's delighted to see a certain starry-eyed owl? We also talk about a new cozy game full of animals #Floatopia. And JB gives us her Paris Paralympics highlights. --- Read JB's Paralympics Blog: https://www.greatpopculturedebate.com…

This week, we've come to eulogize #AnimalCrossing #PocketCamp, and to praise it. We dive into memories of Leaf Tickets, Brake Tapper, and Campsites, and discuss the archive app. We also talk about real-world gardening surprises and fishing adventures. Shoutout to Boopy, Giovanni, and 'Ol What's His Name. --- Patreon Members Only: Don't miss out on …
