Wherein our hosts free up an evening to continue Neon Podcast Evangelion. When challenges were made to Michael's availability for the evening, Steve presented his alternative: "That's fine. I can go find somewhere to drink beer."
Long breaks make the show into more of an update on their lifelong relationship with Evangelion, and with developments in the Evangelion franchise. Sometimes just popular anime in general. The last year has seen Ghibli win another Oscar (and another Japan Academy Best Animated Prize - the final Eva Rebuild film won in 2022), A US limited release of EoE, and Anno continue with non-eva projects as apparently Japan's premiere server of anime nostalgia. We also cover the NGE clip episode and the first freaky monologue in the show, sometimes known as "Rei's Poem."
Highlights:
- Additional context for the Rei poem are truly fascinating, as described in Anno trying to write from a schizophrenic point of view and finding the disembodiment hitting a bit too close to home.
Hebrew corner covers some good background on the inclusion of Lillith as an "Angel".
- Lots and lots of vaguery regarding show details. Michael volunteers this as a feature for the listener to enjoy the experience of knowing the correct facts themselves.
- No screenshot coverage, ideal for a clip show and the editor's family life.
- Truly mad claim from Steve's daughter that her friends had listened to the show. Not possible.

After a long "summer break" brought on by the sensible needs of family and home, the cousins return. Conversation quickly returns to whether the their podcast and unfortunately even their subject is any way vital or current. Months have past since the show's big outing on Netflix and the cultural dust has settled with only a few articles in nerd periodicals.
Not ones to dwell on or really even maintain focus on any subject for long, the litany of technical strides mastered in order to publish the pod are rolled out like a balm. There is a moment of audible relief from Michael when Steve says he likes the website. Yet, despite the strong chance that our hosts are only metaphorically shouting at the ocean, a strange but fact persists: this podcast has 64 listens on Soundcloud.
Eventually, the second episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion is watched live! With noodles! Hope you like mouth sounds!
Highlights:
- As the centerpiece of this episode of Evangelion is a party at casa Misato, the fellas join in according to her tastes with instant noodles and Japanese beer.
- The idea that we could actually edit the worst of our gaffes and stutters from the pod is floated. Were horrible things said and later hidden? A mystery!
- A potentially misguided commitment to only making "honest follow-backs" is made. There is considerable doubt regarding this choice.
- Vague blanket threats are made against products mentioned during the recording.
- Steve condemns the brewing practices of entire nations.
- "Plugcast" is settled on as the handle for episodes of the podcast to avoid confusing them with episodes of the show. See? It's confusing. Anyway, this decision is pushed through on the grounds that it sounds cool.
Segments: cold open, state of the podcast, evangelion chat, watch and commentary of NGE episode 2 with ramen and beer, favorite moments
