Mar 23, 2023

On this episode of Iron Silver and Salt the boys have an episode of tonal contrasts as we discuss a character from a children's cartoon and queer representation in media through....HIM! Chris violates the shit out of the hays code Will was eating lunch at the time of recording - he apologizes for talking with his mouth full. Adrian forgot we're talking about HIM, not him! And the guys try to figure out how to defeat....Him!
