#52—I Don’t Know What You Were Expecting

Journey of the Monkey King

Wukong is going to need to go the the very top for help with the One-Horned Buffalo. No, not Guanyin. The very top.

The episode has some brief mentions of slavery and cruelty, and the torture headband gets brought up again in passing.
