The aftershow for this video: https://youtu.be/o3YtcwPI5fw

We are experimenting with hosting these aftershows on YouTube rather than on Patreon for the autogenerated captions and the ability to pick up playback if you need to stop middway through. Which one do you prefer?

We talk about about a behind the scenes wager between Taha and Joe, CINEMA!!! ART!!!, and which books are okay to destroy.
