34: Gravity Falls "Blendin's Game"

Charley and Ella are joined by digital illustrator, Tezuka scholar and Charley's longtime best friend Ray to discuss "Blendin's Game." We talk about the way it beautifully executes a story that so many other shows fumble, as well as the return of Blendin Blandin and the time travel shenanigans therein.
