KH2: Trick or treating in the desert
Aug 26, 202301:03:15Tap to summarizeIn this week's episode: Sora, Donald, and Goofy revisit two very familiar worlds, reconnecting with Aladdin and Iago as well as with Jack Skellington. Along the way, Kyle and Mitchell take time to appreciate our favorite member of the party (spoilers: it's Donald). For those playing along at home, we recommend finishing Agrabah and Halloween Town before tuning in. On a separate note, we apologize for the lack of episodes in recent weeks. Our little family has been dealing with everything from health issues to job concerns, all of which have taken away from our time to record and edit. We love and appreciate all of you!
