Smax continues his tirade, specifically targeting a couple of Ackermans, while Patil continues to play his role as the one last man fighting on the hill to save weebdom. As usual, sparks ensue. **DISCLAIMER**: Season 3 Part 1 spoilers. And a lot of hastily covered up spoilers for everything beyond as well. *wink* Patil *wink* Follow Check Your Privilege: https://www.instagram.com/checkyourprivilegepodcast https://twitter.com/otokorashii1 Music used in the episode: Crinoline Dreams by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3560-crinoline-dreams License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Patil and Smax pile on the Eren hate in this episode, as Smax continues the tradition of his Armin quote for the day and makes even more wild speculations after the previous ones were..ahem... less than accurate. **DISCLAIMER**: Spoilers for Season 2 incoming, but if you've stuck with us for this damn long, might as well watch. Or listen, whatever.

Smax is still in disbelief about Armin's gender as Patil continues to play the "hush, it'll all be explained in time" card. Episodes 14-25 is where the series really takes off, so expect a faster pace from the bois as well. Smax also rattles off his top 5 characters in the show so far, with more than one eyebrow-raiser in the mix. No review scores yet, though :) **DISCLAIMER**: Spoilers for episodes 14-25 in here, despite Patil's desperation to reveal it all. Ah, the curse of knowledge.

Patil's in the zone as the official fact-checker and Mikasa fanboy as Smax begins his journey into the massive world of Attack on Titan. Smax also then proceeds to make his own set of BOLD predictions for where the show's headed, as Patil tries desperately not to spoil anything for either him or you, you listeners, you. **DISCLAIMER**: Spoilers restricted only to the first thirteen episodes.

Patil shows off his rare supportive side as he campaigns for free will, while Smax is left reeling after being declared Patil's second least favourite person, after one Jake Gyllenhaal. Smax goes on, in his fugue state, to anger multiple modern-day and ancient Gods, much like the Arachne lore the movie is based on. **DISCLAIMER**: Heavy spoilers, but, as a wide blunt, this one's a slow burn. Shouldn't be too bad to have a listen first.

Smax tries to wrap his head around the stuff a crazy stalker savant woman (yes, you read that right) would do to one-up her love, while Patil tries to keep the plot discussion flowing. Also, Smax gets to talk about his favourite thing in the whole world; CULTS! ** DISCLAIMER **: It's not too long , and it's pretty thrilling, so please watch it. We spoil the living crap out of it.

Patil's thirst is triggered again by another actress in her 50s, and by Colin Farrell's 'sugar daddy' hair as Smax desperately tries to analyse the movie he recommended. The utter lack of deer in this movie does play a huge role, as does biases towards a certain Kim. ** DISCLAIMER **: Spoiled both interpretations of this film. But what do you care, you'll listen to it anyway.

Vegetable-cutting ceremonial knives, grading assassinations on a curve, and above all, a bunch of mispronounced names. Patil and Smax go over a dark, compelling OVA the only way they know how: stupidly. ** DISCLAIMER **: Heavy spoilers. Watch first, pliss.

Selling out, grandfather argument fantasies and some serious Dan Carlin fangirling is the order of the day. Smax and Patil discuss some more serious themes as well, such as the portrayal of countries as victims in anti-war propaganda, and how Japan is largely swept under the rug as one of the belligerents of WWII. ** DISCLAIMER **: Spoilers incoming. Although this movie is enough of a weekend spoiler on its own.

Freaky Friday is here! Patil recommends a movie instead of an anime and gets his character assassinated by a less-than-impressed Smax. Branching paths, pseudo-pretentiousness and in-jokes aplenty. ** DISCLAIMER **: Spoilers. Although you will need them just to make sense of the goddamn narrative.

Spooktober closes with a banger. Patil and Smax fanboying, mixed in with slasher film hatred and a genuine discussion on the blurred lines between horror and comedy. ** DISCLAIMER **: More so than ever, spoilers incoming. Watch the movie first. We beg you.

New seasons, new beginnings, same downmarket humour. Patil and Smax round off the last anime of their supposed "Spooktober" with plenty of philosophy, ranting on low production budgets and, of course, with a good old waifu war. ** DISCLAIMER **: Major spoilers incoming. We mean it this time. The show will be ruined for you. RUINED.

In the last episode of this arbitrary season, Smax tries to suppress his gag reflex and Patil lets loose his gore fetishes as they try and squeeze meaning out of a slasher movie disguised as 'psychological horror'. ** DISCLAIMER ** : Spoiler Alert. This movie will spoil any and all desire to eat. Skip the popcorn, else you'll be skipping it forever.

Yes, it's like the game. Yes, there are a metric ton of Misakis in this show. Yes, Smax and Patil agree on something, finally. And oh, boy do they agree. Any pretence of proper comedy is ditched for innuendo, bad puns and 69 jokes. Listen at your own risk. **DISCLAIMER** Whoops, didn't add one in the audio. Here it is. Spoiler alert. Although it is impossible to spoil it more than Misaki Mei does.

Finally, a movie whose references sail above even the legendary Smax's head. Patil takes joy in pointing that out, and the bois try and make sense of a film that even the director hand-waves away as "either you get it, or you don't". ** DISCLAIMER ** Spoilers incoming. Although one might appreciate a freaking explanation even after they're finished with this movie.

Smax puts on his tinfoil hat full time for this episode as he tries to wrap his head around Patema Inverted's serpentine plot. Plus, Patil gets out his arcane trivia about the ending theme being in Esperanto and tries not to succumb to Patema's feminine wiles. ** DISCLAIMER **: No spoilers at all in this episode...

The bois discuss one of the best modern-day Cartoon Network cartoons in Over The Garden Wall. Patil gets miffed about a Greek mythology reference that flies over his head, Smax intentionally bloopers one in for the episode's intro, and is still surprised (God knows how) at Patil's gore fetishes. ** DISCLAIMER ** Spoiler warning. There, you happy now? Go watch it. It's barely 100 minutes long.

It's all about the soundtrack in this episode, as Smax and Patil break down the 2004 cult classic by Watanabe Shinichiro. Observations about the show's influences, themes and episodic nature all cycle around Nujabes and Tsutchie. We also delve into the cultural implications of Edo-era Japan and the depiction of counterculture through the show's anachronisms. ** DISCLAIMER ** It's very difficult to spoil a show that's about the experience of the journey, but we bois manage to do it anyway. Call it a knack. Music used in the episode: Hi Izuru STYLE by Force of Nature feat. SUIKEN & S-WORD, Samurai Champloo - Impression Thank You by Nujabes feat.

Patil and Smax are on their best crappy-pun forms as they discuss this gorefest. With pretentious claims of 'the book was better', and plenty of air-quotes neither each other nor the audience can see. A first take show to remember. ** DISCLAIMER **: Jeez, do we really even have to any more? As always, expect spoilers. A LOT of spoilers.

As promised, the flying sparks are here! Patil veers deep into anime territory with this recommendation, and, as predicted, hater boi Smax has some strong opinions on the matter. ** DISCLAIMER ** Even though we bring it up in the audio this time, be prepared for spoilers anyway. There. No need to be mad anymore.

In a return of serve, Smax hands Patil a movie from his wheelhouse, a (most certainly not animated) superhero flick starring Charlize Theron. With multiple instances of fanboying and Nile-bashing. ** DISCLAIMER ** Contains spoilers. God knows it doesn't matter for this movie, but still.

The bois are here! Patil enters full weeb mode as Smax recalls his four-hour 'experience' with Death Parade. With Patil's trademark fangirl voice, Smax's snarky cynicism, this is bound to be an experience. SPOILER WARNING: Minor plot spoilers, as to be expected as we review the crap out of it.
