We will do whatever it takes... to achieve our podcast!

This week we're diving deep into the first half (episodes 1-21) of JJBA's organized crime arc Golden Wind (AKA Vento Aureo). We discuss the increasing power and insanity of Stands, music cues to interrogate people to, fight scenes on transportation methods, whether Giorno is clinically insane, the Stand that makes you old, an update on JJBA's future, the value of the Italian Lire, which spin-off mangas are canon or not, and so much more!

Finish micro-managing your gear and check in with your local Weather-Seer, cause today we're capping off our hectic 2024 with a special Christmas episode on the brand-new, sprawling fantasy JRPG/political campaign sim Metaphor: ReFantazio (we promise it's more fun than that sounds). We deep-dive into the new combat and progression systems, road-tripping on a metal behemoth, the complexity of the music, themes of systemic oppression and media literacy, and, of course, who the most romanceable side characters are.

On top of that, we retrospect on our year returning to the show with the first annual How-to Otaku Awards! Who will win? Who will lose? Who will thirst over a French bat-knight? All this and more on today's episode!

Put on your sleuthing caps, cause this week we're tracking down a KILLER... season of television, that is! We're finally putting a cap on Diamond is Unbreakable with the Yoshikage Kira arc!

Why does Kira keep his fingernail clippings in labeled jars? Why is Echoes Act 3 so different from Acts 1 and 2? Is Mikitaka really an alien, or just a stand-user (or an alien stand-user?!?)? Is Old (2021) good or not? Can I write off a Stray Cat plushie on my taxes? WHO WAS EARL JR'S REAL FATHER!?? All these questions and more, on our new episode!

Just follow our backs as we lead the way through this spoiler-filled episode on the new hour-long coming-of-age drama Look Back! We talk about the connections to Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man, filler in theatrical films, sweaty otakus, imposter syndrome, the Tezuka Awards, Shaky Graves, brief glimpses into the unknown, emotional manipulation, Arkane: Season 2, everlasting friendships, and definitely, definitely no politics. It's a real page-turner that you don't wanna miss!

NOTE: this episode, while not explicit, contains brief discussions of grief and mass murder. Listener discretion advised.

This Halloween, we're taking a little trip to the spiral-cursed town of Kurouzu-cho, and descending deep into the madness of Adult Swim's latest attempt at adapting the Junji Ito cosmic horror classic Uzumaki! There's a lot to talk about: one of the best pilots of all time, speculative production issues, the pacing of horror, allying with Snyder-bros against Warner Bros, flying street gangs, post-credits shakeups, pandemic apathy, the Saw franchise, the dangers of obsession, H.P Lovecraft, and more! Pack your Diazepam, cause we're going deep into the spiral!

NOTE: Uzumaki contains depictions of body and cosmic horror as well as self-harm, and this episode contains discussions of these topics. Discretion is advised.

Why do we podcast? When I podcast, maybe someone listening will change... even if it's trivial.

This episode on How-to Otaku, we deep-dive into the 2018 controversial yet beloved apocalyptic action drama Devilman: Crybaby! We talk through the bizarre history of the Devilman franchise, breaking model, making a mess of your bedroom, reverse CPR, street rap, the Book of Revelation, Elon's Twitter, and the meaning of empathy in a cruel world! It's all worth it, we promise.

NOTE: This episode contains discussions of creature and body horror, gruesome depictions of violence and gore, and sexuality involving minors. Listener discretion advised.

Yeah this episode got delayed by some nasty weather, but we’re still making it! In fact, you could say this Podcast is Unbreakable! (sorry)

Anyways today we’re having a chiller, calmer discussion about the first 20 episodes of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. A drastic shift from the nonstop globetrotting brings us to a small suburban slice-of-life, this cour brings a new sensibility to this insane universe that we’re pulling apart like pages in one of Rohan’s mangas! We dive deep into time-travelling theories about Josuke’s hair, Taylor Swift tearjerkers, crummy bootleg translations, shooting rats with your older nephew, vinyl figures, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, villain redemption arcs, and more! So join us, but remember to wash your hands first, cause in this one we’re COOKING!
