Episode 23: Itaewon Class (Ep 1-8)
Hi all, sorry for the (checks notes) five-month break. No real excuse except for everything and nothing at all. Working through an editing backlog so hopefully will get a number of episodes out over the next few weeks as we start recording new episodes. This one here though is a good listen. We get into…

Episode 22: My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness
Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Kabi Nagata. This Manga has a strong personal connection for each of us because of when we both read it for the first time about five years ago. Angela was in high school and I was in college and neither of us were where or who we wanted to be.

This episode is being posted a little bit later than expected but here are our final thoughts on the full season of WandaVision. This is the episode where Angela makes lots of really great points that I struggle to respond to cause I get really in my feelings about this show. Or I would be…

Episode 19: Inside
We take a look at Inside this week and try to see what’s in this horror-puzzle-2D-platformer from 2016. Turns out there is quite a bit in there for us to get into. It wouldn’t be a video game episode if Angela and I didn’t have at least slightly disagreeing viewpoint or opinions.

Episode 18: Isle of Dogs
We are back with another episode in our ongoing Wes Anderson Series. This time is it 2018’s animated movie, Isle of Dogs.

Episode 17: Alice Isn’t Dead Part 1
This podcast is sometimes just a podcast but sometimes it isn’t just a podcast. That was utter nonsense, don’t mind me. This podcast is always at least a podcast. But is Alice isn’t dead just a podcast? If you are slightly confused then maybe you will empathize with us during our conversation about the first…

Episode 16: The Grand Budapest Hotel
When you check into the Grand Budapest hotel you can never leave… I think I got my references mixed up there, but you may never want to leave anyways based on how much we enjoyed our time with The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Episode 15: Kentucky Route Zero
This podcast is about the friends we made along the way, and also how capitalism tried to tear us apart. Okay that’s not exactly true but also not exactly false. Kentucky Route Zero contains multitudes and so does our podcast about it. At least I hope it does.

Episode 14: Howl’s Moving Castle
We have finally come to the end our Studio Ghibli series of Podcasts. We get into what turned about to be a surprising, funny and decidedly anti-war movie. This is maybe our broadest discussion around one of these movies but these movies, but the speaks to all the different ideas and themes that woven into…

Episode 11: Spirited Away
We are back after the holiday break with another episode in our Studio Ghibli series. This time it’s Spirited Away, the only Studio Ghibli movie to win an Oscar. This is widely considered their best movie for reasons that we try to figure out during our conversation.

Bonus Episode: Kiki’s Delivery Service
We are back with another Studio Ghibli movie! This time we watched Kiki’s Delivery Service and then we tried to talk about it. This is an extremely funny and pleasant movie but in way that’s different from a movie like My Neighbor Totoro and we tried to get at exactly why that is.

Episode 8: Princess Mononoke
We are back for episode eight with our second Studio Ghibli movie. This week we watched the 1997 movie Princess Mononoke. I think we both expected something a little bit different based on the last Ghibli movie we watched but we both very much enjoyed the complexity we found here.
-
Episode 7: Boys State
Ohhh it’s a bit of spicy one. Episode number seven and we are already talking politics. This is our best episode yet though I think. We talk about the Recent Apple TV+ movie Boys State, where a bunch of teenage boys don’t learn how politics actually work, or maybe they do, we’ll get into into.…

Episode 6: Mystery Show Podcast
It’s time for us to get very meta, by doing a podcast about another much more popular podcast. No but really this is a good one. Mystery Show occupies an important space for both of us but also kind of in what podcasts have become. It’s an interesting time capsule of that moment in podcasting…
