For veterans of 'Steven Universe' (or folks who don't mind being spoiled), the guys count down and discuss their favorite episodes of the series. Obvious picks include fan favorites like 'The Answer' and 'Mr. Greg' but there are definitely a few surprises as well! 

Enjoy the show and if you'd like to see us do more 'Steven Universe' episodes/reviews, be sure to let us know on Facebook, Twitter, etc!
