(CW: brief mentions of suicide) Charley and Ella are joined by Michael William Hunter (of Come On, Fhqwhpods!) to watch the "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained" and "Mabel's Guide to Life" shorts released during the big hiatus. We discuss how the characters and world are adapted to the new format, the hidden secrets within the shorts, and an infamous Gravity Falls knockoff app. Also, Michael plays our new game show segment!
