In this episode, the opening is impeccable and beyond reproach. We discuss the fine art of anime-themed cocktails, the strange economic forces that keep Tokyo’s restaurants affordable, and whether or not Julian is being set up for a tragic fate. Also in this episode: the surreal experience of seeing a monkey in a hot spring, a heated debate about natto, and the baffling persistence of Elon Musk.
Plus: futuristic train stations, the unbearable cost of London, and a philosophical inquiry into whether all orangutans are just guys.

In this episode, we dive deep into the chaos of timekeeping, the existential dread of missing a minute, and the questionable value of a $3/month ad-free clock. We also explore the intricacies of cocktail definitions (is Ribena a cocktail? Debate ensues), the emotional weight of Julian's departure to Fezzan, and Yang Wenli's surprisingly relatable take on alcohol consumption. Plus, we uncover the shocking truth about Fortnite's cultural impact, the ethics of copyright, and the mysterious allure of Iserlohn's cocktail menu. Also in this episode: Joel's Antarctic aspirations, Tom's spoiler slip-ups, and Kumail's deep dive into the history of humanity (and why it feels like a Netflix documentary).
Highlights include:
The great cocktail debate: Sangria vs. Whiskey Highball.
Julian's PowerPoint presentation on Yang's drinking habits.
The emotional rollercoaster of Julian's farewell tour (featuring a silent goodbye and a rusty key).
A deep dive into the history of the Galactic Federation, complete with nudity and existential musings.
The inherent evil of Fortnite and the commodification of IP.
Joel's dream of digging up fossils in Fukui (and possibly starting a YouTube channel).
Also in this episode: Joel's obsession with University Challenge, Tom's accidental spoilers, and Kumail's existential crisis over the meaning of "nice opinion."
Next time on In the Skies of Love: More history lessons, more cocktails, and maybe, just maybe, a trip to Hokkaido. Until then, keep your drinks mixed and your timelines ad-free.

In this very special mid-season spectacular we work hard to alienate our existing audience! We pay the podcasting tax by discussing the Zack Snyder cut for longer than the runtime of the movie, and compare it with its (apparent) direct inspiration: Excalibur (1981). In this episode we discuss mythic storytelling, art under capitalism, the healthy practice of doing a grail quest, and the strange attractor of the "evil superman" trope. Also in this episode: Joel eats a fancy kiwi fruit. We hope you join us on this epic board-approved journey, as we slowly lose our minds from tiredness. Don't count on it, Batman!
