100. Gandalf v. Dumbledore: Dawn of Justice
Yes. The time has come. As one of these wizards said, "It is our choices that show us who we really are." And as the other said, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." We have taken all these words to heart and made the choice with our time to celebrate our 100th episode (a feat only possible thanks to you, dear listener!) with an epic debate long ago foretold of and foreshadowed. Plus, a new song is sung during donor shoutouts! Be warned: spoilers for both respective properties appear, sometimes without warning. Also, hopefully this should be apparent, but in the case that it is not, we ARE still friends ;).COMMENT BELOW WHO YOU THINK WON:100. Gandalf v.
