It's a spooky pride show for this week's podcast ep - we watched the first three episodes of The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window, available on Crunchyroll. We also talk about Fancy Nancy, life-end statistics, The Psychic Friends Network, DJ tags, and when is it OK to take tourists to chain restaurants. |
We cover an overlooked '80s scifi film this week on the pod, as we discuss the film They Were 11! Thanks to a Patreon patron. We also talk about obscure media, Benimaru, Dogma, and The Sandlot. |
We're back to our hopscotching ways, as we land upon Sonny Boy, an overlooked original anime from 2021, thanks to a Patreon pledge. Does it deserve another look? Take a listen and SEE👀 We also talk about jeans, Candyland, Outer Wilds, and kids using netspeak. |

We shake things up a little bit this week as we keep on sailing through cour un of DanDaDan S2, covering episodes 9 & 10 of Season 2. Lots of behind-the-scenes/logistics/boring talk this episode, if you're into that kind of thing. We also talk about the possible release schedule of the Steel Ball Run anime, the Forest Maze, Better Off Dead, the refractory period, cool backpacks, untrained animals, and Seinfeld (again). |
We're still under the Evil Eye's spell this week, as we continue watching DanDaDan S2, episodes 7 and 8. We also talk about Lauryn Hill, TV shows on the CW, working tech support, Winamp, and replacements for the US national anthem. |
[Skip to 18:46 to hear us talk about the anime]
We continue our watchalong of Science Saru's DanDaDan, Season 2. Will we finish the season, or has the show run out of ways to impress us? Listen to find out. We also talk about getting mugged, abbreviations, makeup toner, double bass drumming, and Myles' evolving Chicago identity. |
We conclude the first arc of DanDaDan S2 this week, as we cover episodes 3 and 4...which are, in fact, episodes 15 and 16 of the series overall. We also talk about fighting games, stupid musicians, basement botany, and buddhist manjis. |
We're back - in the capable arms of Science Saru - to watch DanDaDan Season 2. We're taking it slow and just doing 2 episodes at a time, btw. Do we remember what happened in Season 1? Some of us do! We also talk about catatonicyouths, The Clipse, Hollow Knight, The Suicide Squad, Anaconda, Remember Me, and quicksand. |
We did it, we finished another series. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't a full 26-er. But we put another Watanabe work in the books, and you know what? You gotta listen to this episode to find out our ultimate feelings. Lazarus eps 12 and 13 are what we talk about here. We also talk about dead musicians, Much Music, Anthony Wiener, and composting. |
We're in the home stretch of 2025's Lazarus this week, as we talk about the penultimate pair of episodes (10 and 12). Myles is back btw. We also talk about what makes someone a New Jerseyan, peeing in bottles, and being a picky eater. |
Just another podcast ep about impending doom; we watched more of Lazarus this week. Episodes 7-9, specifically. We also talk about Fire app permissions, Japanese numeric puns, Asian Pringles knockoffs, ice floes, The Raid, Digimon, and the price of the Shure SM7B. |
This week on the podcast, it's the start of 2012's Psycho-Pass (Eps 1-3). We also talk about unconventional ways to drive, certified humane eggs, The Pitt, Dexter, and Pantone colors. |
We continue with Lazarus on the podcast this week; talking episodes 4-6. We also talk about New Jersey musicians, non-NJ-musicians like Autechre & Eminem, The Princess Diaries, and when AI is at fault. |
[Skip to 23:03 for Lazarus talk. Also, Myles' side of his recording cuts out partway through the episode, apologies for the Discord call quality on this episode]
It's time to talk about the heavily-anticipated Watanabe show, Lazarus. Is it style over substance? Worth the hype? Find out, maybe, on this episode of the podcast. We also talk about TV shows that fall off, B.F. Skinner, the significance of dreidels, and large numbers. |
Timezone -1 Myles joins the podcast as we discuss 2025's Sakamoto Days, episodes 1-3. We also talk about gout, Bubbaloo, Bob from Tekken, Japanese baby-weaning techniques and numbering systems, and the rabbit punch. |
We pivot to a more blatantly-on-theme show for Pride month on this episode of the podcast: we watched three episodes ofYuri Kuma Arashi, from one of the creators of Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's confusing! We also talk about jukebox musicals, Pappyland, and David Lynch.
Complex, stylistic, sad, and not very gay: these words may describe many things, but they are also how we feel about Paradise Kiss after six episodes. On this episode of the podcast we cover episodes 4-6 of the show and decide we need to move on to something else before Pride '25 is through. We also talk about cold seaside towns, music we'll always love, school admittance tests, smizing, and the city of Chicago. |
Happy Pride, everyone. We take a rare look into the world of fashion anime this week on the pod, as we cover the first three episodes of Paradise Kiss, based on a josei manga by Ai Yazawa (of Nana fame). We also talk about stupid kid arguments, Genesis, Hook, UK slang, Terrace House, and essay manga. |
In this episode we finish our coverage of The Apothecary Diaries - at least for now - with episodes 10-12. We also talk about Karen O., what "sus" means, and skinks. |
