Episode 477: VERY NSFW EPISODE because we about to get freaky deaky with some Anime characters. If you do not know about the "Hear Me Out" Cake trend on internet, it basically is a trend that summarizes characters that you would totally get down with but also characters that are perhaps questionable to most people.

Episode 474: Despite the title of this episode, this is not so much a review as much as an exploration of the hilarity that ensued when ADV Films and their voice actors were tasked with dubbing the 2000's anime Ghost Stories.TW: F-slur and R-slur: No we do NOT give anyone passes to use any slur nor do we use them ourselves, please understand when you hear the slurs in the episode it was due to discussion and from the clips of the show. Times were different then, it wasn't ok then and its not ok now. But granting some nuance you can understand how crazy and funny this dub turned out.

We are on the second week of the Halloween season and this week we are giving our first impressions of the long awaited anime adaptation one of Junji Ito's most famous works: UZUMAKI ..

Episode 467: Welcome to the first edition and our first playthrough of a tier list game Som thought of called: Homie and the B***h (you gonna have to fill in the asterisks there) Dannie and Nick must rank gundams and relevant mobile suits with the little knowledge they have and at the end whoever has the closest list matching Som's list made before hand is the HOMIE and the other is the B****H
