Arcane - An interview with Vander (ft.JB Blanc) Nov 08, 2024

PRESENT TIME! This fantastic interview was something we had orchestrated after the first season. Due to the hype dying down a good bit by the time we were ready to release the interview, however, we decided it would be more beneficial to wait until closer to season 2 release, so it could get the love and attention it so rightly deserved. JB Blanc was an AMAZING guest and we hope to have him on again! ENJOY!!!
