Ep 92 - Mayan Hero Twins defeat the Lords of Xibalba

Those Hunahpu boys are back at it, and this time, they’ve found their old man’s sports gear and they are ready for some justice served in the Pitz of Hell (or rather the Pok-a-Tok ball courts of Xibalba). It’s two on Twelve with Xibalanque and Hunahpu duking it out in the rematch of the century against the Twelve Lords of Death who murdered their father and uncle, but the Xibalbans are the only ones with tricks up their sleeves.
