You forgot the part where the podcast host, this random middle-aged woman, immediately compared it to a bad anime.
Not animation, or “Japanese animation”, anime. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Mitch was expecting to have an easy win here, and not for her to care enough to actually read the thing, yet to be fair the Captain America standee might have been more of a giveaway if that’s not just around for Mitch’s comic-related interview.
Edit: It very much isn’t, she appears to be always in front of it.
