My Chemical Romance: A Concept Episode (opens the original)

Socials: https://linktr.ee/thinktankards Nathan finally gets to talk about something he actually cares about: My Chemical Romance.

They structure their year, wardrobe and occasionally, entire financial future around a theme park. This week we work out where the line sits between a nice holiday and a £26,000 timeshare that charges annual interest and you have to enter a lottery for...
