You thought we were just going to talk about beetles? Pshaw! Have some Super Sentai, Spiderman and samurai movie discussion on the side! How about some anime? I seem to have run out of S words to say. We somehow still manage to stay on topic most of the time we talk about this stuff.

Our first two-parter! We have a quick overview of beetles then take a deep dive into weevils, from which we lose the reins quickly.
