We return to Texas with cosplayer and podcaster Lisa Ayanami. She has a great number of fandoms to talk about and we had to narrow it down to just a few. Harry Potter kicks things off, followed by a discussion about DC Comics (and movies). After that, we talk about cosplaying followed be a discussion about movies and her movie podcast "I Love That Movie".
