(**A quick editorial note: while this week's episode does contain discussion of the recent news surrounding Bayonetta 3's voice acting and Hellena Taylor, it was recorded earlier in the week and as such does not reflect recent news developments. Listeners are encouraged to follow Nintendo Everything's ongoing coverage of the story as it develops.**)
