Holy Season Sequel, Batman! We have returned! After a short absence, the CORE THREE are back in the studio to talk about the triumphant reappearance of the gang in California Dreams: Season 2.

We’re back! And have got an doozy for you. This front loaded episode is full of music and band themes as the California Dreams belt out TWO tunes at Sharkies.
