Sometimes you try to convince people to love what you love. And sometimes, other people try to convince you to like what they like. What keeps us from liking some art forms?

Mandy, Matt, and Evangeline talk about their appreciation (or lack of appreciation) for Anime, rpgs, rom-coms, science fiction, monster movies, gothic literature, and abstract art.
