Episode 26 - Your Name: Or That Time We Drank A Girl's Spit In A Cave and Had An Out of Body Experience Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

It's episode 26 and everyone in the podcast is sick with something! Marcus is back in the host seat, and they decide to do something a little different. Instead of assigning a show, Marcus assigns the 2016 Makoto Shinkai movie "Your Name." Will Dan and Nick enjoy this supernatural romance? Or will they find it to be out of sync?

Episode 24 - Summer Time Rendering: Or That Time We Got A Bird's Eye View Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

For episode 24, not only do the dice have the power, but we also bring in special guest Jon Idrovo to trust fate and watch some anime. The roll provides us with an anime we were all interested in, but will this anime only be a shadow of the hype that preceeds it? Or will it be a flash of brilliance?

In this episode Marcus FINALLY has the crew watch Vinland Saga. Dan and Nick are assigned the first 10 episodes of season 1. Will the show make them feel like they've reached Valhalla? Or will they decide they DO have enemies, and hate Marcus forever?

Show notes

We have our first Twitter poll episode! Nick asked for a vote and Call of the Night came in as the winner. So he has Dan and Marcus watch all 13 episodes in season 1. Will this show bring satisfaction and allow them to rest, or will there be one too many musical montages for them to handle?
