In Joke Farming: How to Write Comedy and Other Nonsense, Elliott Kalan (U Chicago Press, 2025) explains that it's easier to write jokes when you have a dependable method for doing so. All jokes, he argues, are built from the same elements: structure, premise, voice, tone, wording, and audience—and these elements can be applied to any comedic genre, from stand-up to sitcoms to satire. Kalan analyzes examples from his own career—including jokes that he wrote (and rewrote and rewrote and rewrote . . . ) as head writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart—as well as material from a diverse array of comedians, writers, and filmmakers, highlighting the phrasing, rhythm, and precise details that make their work so dang funny.Drawing on his experiences in professional writers' rooms as well as episodes from everyday life, Kalan's guide to jokes will appeal to aspiring writers, their mentors, comedy fans, and anyone who has to speak at a wedding. Joke Farming points the way toward a writing process that lessens stress and agony and yields more reliable rewards: a surprising tagline, a hilarious word choice, and—most importantly—a bigger laugh from the audience, whoever they may be.

Mark is joined by Jared from the podcast Feathers & Friends to discuss professional football and other stuff. The Bromance Continues! The Gathering of the Juggalos, Other Nonsense, and quite honestly Mark forgot to load the episode last Sunday so enjoy.
In the American Church today, few figures are as outspoken about the need for Catholics to treat LGBTQ people with love, respect, and compassion as Jesuit priest Fr. James Martin. Martin is also the subject of a new documentary, Building a Bridge, which offers a close look at Martin's LGBTQ ministry—from its origins after the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando in 2016, to Martin's meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2019. On this episode, Commonweal associate editor Griffin Oleynick speaks with Fr. Martin and filmmaker Evan Mascagni about the film.

Dr. Daniel Walden returns to Public Theologians Podcast, this time to discuss his recent article in Commonweal Magazine, titled Gender, Sex and Other Nonsense. In this episode we discuss how our various orthodox Catholic and Protestant Christian theologies can quite easily make space for the experience of our Transgender friends, family, fellow Christians and, well, fellow humans. We also discuss fun topics such as Lockian philosophy, why Protestants tend to favor noted war criminal Oliver North over the patron saint of children, Fred Rogers, and more!

Episode 109: Co-op Funds, Approved Vendor Lists and Other Nonsense
Kat, Leo and Bcom are back to review the 5th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! We kick things off with Kat ranting about her hilariously awful experience with Groupon customer service. Leo updates us on his continuing trouble with Remnant of the Ashes, and Bcom reviews then 1979 anime adaptation of Anne of Green Gables. Once we get into weekly anime, it’s time to get in running shape for the Dumbbell girls, which means working hamstrings and abdominal muscles, to embrace their inner Flo-Jo. Two of the Maidens have their eyes set on much older men in their savage seasons, which leads to some very awkward interactions, but the episode ends on a high note with one of the cutest anime confession scenes we’ve watched in a long time. We spend more time hyping up Demon Slayer ep. 19 than actually properly covering episode 18. We wrap up another disappointing episode of BEM with complaints about its directionless story and weak animation from Kat and Bcom. After the break, we get into a divisive episode of Dr. STONE, which had us arguing about whether or not the second half flashback was a waste of our time, and who we would choose to kill off between ourselves, our lovers, or our friends. Our Given segment becomes a storytelling session about our experiences with love at first sight. This week’s Demon Girl Next Door review is a shitshow of the highest order, which Bcom very professionally manages to soldier through. And finally, in Carole and Tuesday, Ertegun has to do some thinking about what he truly wants to be as an artist after tragically handing his financial portfolio over to a horny Pinocchio robot.Recorded August 28, 2019.

Bcom, Kat and Leo are back to discuss the 4th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! We kick it off with a bunch of gaming nonsense, and Bcom and Kat both ask listeners for gaming recommendations in a packed late August game release calendar. Once we move onto anime, in Dumbbell, we are puzzled by how different Silverman’s Gym’s operation is from the gyms we know and frequent in the United States. Leo’s not sure if he knows enough words to fill 50 pages like Rika’s love interest in O Maidens. Demon Slayer takes its best shot at making Zenitsu great again, but we’re left relatively unmoved. Dr. STONE already has Yuzuriha trying to sacrifice her life for her male co-stars, which leaves Bcom unamused, and ends with a pretty obviously toothless cliffhanger. Given takes a detour to talk about guitar pedals, which Bcom is very familiar with due to his guitar-enthusiast dad’s expensive quest to create the perfect sound. Bcom isn’t so impressed with episode 4 of the Demon Girl Next Door, and Leo and Kat retreat into the inner recesses of their mind (i.e. take a nap) while he breaks it down. We close things out with Carole & Tuesday, which introduces us to a star named Flora whose past is intertwined with Gus, and shows us a darker side of the music industry.Recorded August 26, 2019.

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back to chat about the 3rd week of the Summer 2019 anime season! A cosplaying teacher joins the dumbbell squad in the latest episode, and we talk a lot about your biceps brachii muscle. In the latest Episode of O Maidens, Kazusa realizes that Izumi watches porn, but is at least reassured that it’s porn related to his transportation otaku hobbies. Kat launches her “Demon Slayer is actually a BL” political campaign, and to be fair she has some strong evidence. The latest episode of BEM represents another in a long line of heated gamer moments. Kat has some advice for Tsukasa from Dr. STONE, which is that when you have to come up with a different word for murder in order to justify it, you might have some issues. Kat has watched so much yaoi that she accurately predicted pretty much everything about Given’s plot. Leo also shakes us to our core with his interpretation of Mafuyu’s singing voice. By the way, the music anime Kat was alluding to in this section was Anonymous Noise. Bcom desperately tries to explain to Kat and Leo why he finds The Demon Girl Next Door so funny. Carole & Tuesday introduces anime David Bowie to the show in an episode that intelligently juxtaposes the show’s political commentary against its belief in the power of music to bring people together.Recorded August 19, 2019.

Kat, Leo and Bcom finish up the Spring 2019 anime season with our thoughts on each finale individually, as well as the season as a whole. After the initial recording, news of the Kyoto Animation fire hit, which Bcom takes some time to address at the beginning of the episode. As a heads up, during our review of the final episode of Dororo, there is some discussion of death by fire and/or smoke inhalation, which you may want to skip. The Dororo segment runs from 1:04:37 to 1:25:20 if you would rather avoid it. Otherwise, it’s just another typical goofy podcast from us, which we hope will raise your spirits!Recorded July 15, 2019.

Bcom, Kat, and Leo discuss week 11 of the Spring 2019 anime season. Bcom leads off the podcast with a rave retro review of the first season of Sailor Moon while Kat details her plans for Anime Expo. We jump into a debate about how much Fruits Basket’s Tohru can give of herself to others before it becomes self-harming. It’s about that time in JoJo to start getting really confused about what’s going on, but we do our best to make sense of Chariot Requiem and his arrow of doom. Demon Slayer introduces an extremely annoying new character who Leo determines has less of a backbone than Bocchi Hitori, which is…impressive. Dororo deftly explains the entire philosophy of the show in a climactic debate about how to resolve the conflict between Hyakkimaru and Tahoumaru. The great Attack on Titan lore dump continues with another jam-packed episode where characters keep making excuses for Eren who is having a series of 15-year-old moments. Leo tells us that he grew up with someone just like Garou from One Punch Man, and that guy didn’t turn out very well either. We close out the final episode of Sarazanmai, and try to break down the quite literal abstract concepts that Ikuhara has expressed in wrapping up the show. Finally, we end the episode by discussing whether Carole and Tuesday deserve to keep moving on through the Mars Brightest contest given the strong competition they’ve been facing.Recorded July 2, 2019.

Leo, Bcom, and Kat discuss week 10 of the Spring 2019 anime season. Bcom kicks things off by poking some fun at Netflix’ new translation of Evangelion. Kat strategizes the best way to give a boy Valentine’s Day chocolates in our discussion of Fruits Basket. The cast of JoJo have an out of body experience in the latest episode and Mista learns the pain of wearing cute panties. We debate whether the crow or a soon-to-be-introduced character from Demon Slayer is the most annoying character of the season. Everyone’s getting extra arms and eyes in Dororo now, as the series comes to its epic climax. Attack on Titan episode “That Day” takes about an entire day to record, because it’s one epic lore dump. Orochimaru apparently showed up in One Punch Man this week, or at least we thought he did. The reveal of Reo’s true name in Sarazanmai absolutely infuriates Bcom who realizes he missed out on 9 weeks of Leo puns. And finally, we close out the episode with some speculation about the latest dramatic events between Tuesday and her stalker Cybelle, who may have ruined the girls’ chances in the Mars Brightest contest.Recorded June 25, 2019.

Kat, Leo, and Bcom discuss week 9 of the Spring 2019 anime season. In the latest episode of Fruits Basket, the zodiac cow is able to hide in plain sight to the annoyance of Kat. Jojo’s Polnareff apologizes for assuming a character’s gender, which is quite progressive for when this manga was actually written. Bcom breaks down temari and kemari in an action-packed episode of Demon Slayer. Dororo has gone a lot of weird places, but now it has pokemon apparently too. And finally, in Attack on Titan we finally found out what’s in the basement…sort of. One Punch Man aired an episode. It was a thing that happened. Sarazanmai’s latest episode forces Tooi to choose to connect with either older brother or his close friends. The beat of GGK’s song in Carole & Tuesday breaks Leo’s brain, and that’s before the Mermaid Sisters even take the stage.Recorded June 18, 2019.

Bcom, Kat, and Leo discuss week 8 of the Spring 2019 anime season. We kick things off with a bit of an E3 wrap-up and our thoughts about the current state of the console wars. Kat then chats about her convention coffee nightmare, and how she whipped her co-worker into shape, both of which are certainly related acts. Once we get into anime, Leo is growing a bit bored of Fruits Basket, which continues to be somewhat directionless. An old JoJo character shows up in Golden Wind in a Silver Chariot, and Bcom totally forgets what Doppio looks like. Demon Slayer showed off the diabolical power of its main villain, Muzan Kibutsuji, and also shows off the legs of its childlike, but somehow not childlike little sister, Nezuko. Hyakkimaru continues to lose more of his humanity in his quest to regain his human body as Dororo gears up for its final stretch. During Attack on Titan, Kat determines that she needs to buy Bcom a Hange Zoe body pillow, and Bcom details exactly what he’d want from such a product. Kat tells us all about Big Daddy One Punch and rants about the absurdity of Watchdog Man. Sarazanmai teaches us the disastrous consequences of putting too much pepper in your cucumber ramen. Kat wants to “pow” M-Pop artist Pyotr right in his Justin Bieber-esque face, as Carole & Tuesday moves into its American Idol arc.Recorded June 13, 2019.

Leo, Bcom and Kat discuss week 7 of the Spring 2019 anime season. This week we break down the double announcement of Google Stadia and a Destiny 2 expansion, which left us with polar opposite impressions. We jump into Fruits Basket episode 7, where Spring comes, Winter melts, and Kat can’t handle any of it. The latest episode of JoJo delivers on a fan-favorite moment from the manga with the help of the Muda Muda Staff. Bcom nitpicks the living hell out of the latest episode of Demon Slayer, where everything is unclear, but at least Leo’s crow impression is right on target. We really didn’t like the latest episode of Dororo, but luckily we’re saying the opposite of what we mean. The latest episode of Attack on Titan is filled with various acts of heroism and sacrifice, making for one of the most emotional roller coasters of the season so far. Kat chooses this moment to provide the young listeners in our audience with a very important PSA. One Punch Man continues to try to explore multiple storylines at once, and Bcom’s not thrilled with the show’s execution. Just when things seem to be getting better in Sarazanmai, the rug is pulled out from under us, and there’s more drama than we thought. Carole & Tuesday’s latest shortcut to stardom is through a talent competition, which showcases some of Mars’ best, but mostly its weirdest performers.Recorded June 6, 2019.

Kat, Leo, and Bcom discuss week 6 of the Spring 2019 anime season. It’s the halfway point of the season, which means it’s time to debate midseason cuts, which you can find towards the end of the podcast. Before we jump into anime, Leo talks about how he literally couldn’t see the monsters in the latest Godzilla movie. Kat is more concerned about the anatomical intricacies of a Mothra-Godzilla pairing. We also chat about a pair of Russia-centric TV shows in The Americans and Chernobyl that Bcom and Kat recommend checking out. In episode 6 of Fruits Basket, Kat is absolutely livid with Tohru for being a [very naïve person]. Yeah, let’s go with that censoring. It also introduces the trope of the mysterious childhood love interest, which has us all rolling our eyes. Kat continues to demand an explanation for Bruno’s zombie-like state in JoJo, and also questions the Roman police’s lackadaisical response to an apocalypse breaking out in the middle of their city. Demon Slayer’s sound director went a little overboard with the grinding teeth noises of this episode’s multiple personality disordered demon. Kat is shocked at Tanjiro’s incredible acrobatic moves with his big hoop earrings getting in the way. We get distracted by the demon “frog” shark in the latest episode of Dororo, and we complain about taxonomy for a bit. We also manage to disagree on multiple tiny, insignificant aspects of the episode. Bcom is very excited at the confirmation that baseball exists in the Attack on Titan universe. Kat decries the horrible existence of Cockroach Man in the latest episode of One Punch Man, and wonders how deep the psychic connection between Tatsumaki and Hellish Blizzard really goes. She also loses it over the introduction of our latest eponymous hero, Snek. Keppi shows off his pole dancing skills in this week’s Sarazanmai, and the emotional wound between Kazuki and Haruka is finally mended. Carole & Tuesday get the opportunity to perform in front of a huge crowd, but it doesn’t go exactly as planned. As for us, we fell in love with the newly introduced characters of Skip and Crystal who have subtle, but well-established chemistry. Finally, we move into our discussion of potential midseason cuts, and discuss several other shows that we’ve been keeping up with as potential replacements.Recorded June 3, 2019.

Bcom, Kat and Leo discuss week 5 of the Spring 2019 anime season. It turns out we all saw John Wick 3 this week, so we start out by raving about how fun the third installment of the franchise was. We move on to Fruits Basket, where Tohru is away from the Souma household for much less time than we initially expected. Bcom is annoyed that JoJo’s part 5 has basically given us the equivalent of “Stand midichlorians,” in a completely unnecessary explanation of the origin of Stand powers. Demon Slayer introduces Tanjiro to his new sword, but more importantly, his new crow, which Kat and Leo both mimic to the best of their ability. Yuki Souma makes a guest appearance in Dororo in his rat form, but he’s gained a bit of weight and it’s given him a nasty attitude. Armin tries to get under Bertholdt’s skin, and Mikasa tries to attack him, but it’s clear in this episode of Attack on Titan that the Colossal Titan has matured into a very different person. Bcom wonders if Saitama or Metal Bat’s little sister has a stronger slap, as they seem equally effective in the latest episode of One Punch Man. ONE also continues to display his obsession with introducing way too many goofy characters at once. With the latest episode of Sarazanmai, as Leo puts it, Kazuki’s “inner Sasuke” is very strong, and Bcom attempts to make sense of his many conflicting emotions. After Kat ponders the point of A.I. pets in the latest episode of Carole & Tuesday, Leo tears up at the girls’ first live concert.Recorded May 26, 2019.

Leo, Kat and Bcom discuss week 4 of the Spring 2019 anime season. Fruits Basket introduces us to the newest member of the zodiac family, the boar, whose tsundere antics annoyed Bcom. Kat imagines what it would be like having her mouth sewn shut as we discuss the latest episode of JoJo, where we lost one of our heroes. Tanjiro learns how to use his water vaping techniques to defeat his first major demon. While Bcom was horrified by the carnage of the pet sharks in episode 16 of Dororo, Kat, an intellectual, just kept thinking of the Baby Shark dance. The scouts use a new weapon to bring the Armored Titan to its knees, and Kat learns the difference between Erwin and Armin. The latest episode of One Punch Man has Kat and Bcom imagining a “Centibuddies” anime following the activities of Centisenpai and Centikouhai. Leo drunk watches Sarazanmai, which unfortunately didn’t improve his viewing experience. Carole & Tuesday make the best worst music video of all time, and Leo guest stars in the show as a beer-drinking robot.Recorded May 13, 2019.

Kat, Leo and Bcom return to break down the 3rd week of the Spring 2019 anime season! After an intro where Kat channels her perfect impression of Laura Bailey’s Tohru Honda, Bcom kicks off the nonsense section by warning people off SAO: Alicization, and raving about Nichijou. Kat gives her spoiler-filled thoughts on the 3rd and 4th episodes of the final season of Game of Thrones. She then somehow traumatizes herself by comparing Kyou’s “dud” rice balls with Bertie Bott’s booger-flavored beans in our discussion of this week’s Fruits Basket. Kat also predicts that Leo will die due to a lack of chives in his diet. Leo can’t get over Doppio’s bizarre name and Kat fact-checks the amount of iron that would be available in the human body to pull off some of Risotto’s stand powers. Nezuko catches up on some much-needed sleep while Tanjiro spends 2 years on an epic shounen training arc in Demon Slayer. Bcom feels like Dororo’s latest episode covered some of the same ground unnecessarily, but Kat was more focused on the viability of sexing up a ghoul. Attack on Titan started a few weeks late, so we finally get a chance to dive into the first episode of season 3’s second half. Let’s be honest, it’s just season 4. Kat has some Tank Top Trouble telling characters apart in One Punch Man and her inner gyaru girl leaks out. We have a butt suckin’ good time talking about Enta’s hallucinations in the latest episode of Sarazanmai. Bcom is pissed that everyone ordered the same exact pizza at Carole and Tuesday’s meeting with their new manager, and Kat explains that no girl in their right mind goes swimming in full make-up. We also debate the realism of New Yorkers joining in with the Dancing Laundry musical scene, rather than yelling at the girls to shut up.Recorded May 6, 2019.

Bcom, Leo and Kat are back with their first impressions of the Spring 2019 anime season! We kick things off with a short spoiler discussion of Avengers: Endgame, which we were all dying to chat about. Then we dive into this anime season, which despite having fewer shows airing overall than in Winter, still has some major standouts that we’re excited about.

Leo, Kat and Bcom close out Winter 2019 with reviews of the 12th and final week of the anime season. We finished off the last two episodes of Mob Psycho II, which left us wishing the show had kept the tone of the first half of the season, rather than switching half-way through. Run With the Wind defied our expectations and gave us a very satisfying ending to the running boys’ journey. Kemurikusa hinted at a potential sequel while also wrapping up the emotional arc of the narrative in a neat way. Domestic Girlfriend got dumber than ever before, and had us all wigging out. The first half of the Kaguya finale had Bcom squeeing over both the romantic fireworks and the fantastic direction and cinematography. Dororo finishes off its first half by giving us more plot development with Hyakkimaru’s family than we had expected to get at the half-way point. We move on to some quick reviews of the shows we watched outside of the podcast, before finishing off the season with our final reviews and scores!Recorded April 20, 2019.

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to discuss week 11 of the Winter 2019 anime season. Mob continues to preach philosophy to villains we don’t really care about as we struggle to care about anything outside the brilliantly animated fights of Mob Psycho II’s 11th episode. Run With the Wind sprints forward with King passing the sash onto Kakeru who enters another running dimension, which Kat think just sounds painful. Bcom is blown away by just how well Kemurikusa brought all of the threads of its sci-fi narrative together, while raising even more interesting questions. The Promised Neverland pulls off a big surprise in its penultimate episode, but we get bogged down in the psychological logistics of cutting off your own appendages. Jojo episode 24 prompts us to talk about airplane depressurization and respecting Notorious B.I.G.’s legacy, as only JoJo can. Domestic Girlfriend adds an unlikely member to Natsuo’s harem and finally hits at making Hina and Natsuo face consequences for their reckless public displays of affection. Bcom enjoyed the fanservice in this week’s episode and Chika’s ramen adventures, but Leo felt the last skit represented too much of a tone-shift from the normal comedic shenanigans of the show. We also finish off with the first of a two-part arc of Dororo, which will finish off the season by re-uniting Hyakkimaru with his family and Chevy Tahoumaru.Recorded April 19, 2019.

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back for week 10 of the Winter 2019 anime season. We weren’t that pleased with this week’s episode of Mob Psycho, but we did get some great advice from Kat to the youth of the world, and learned about Chinese Hopping Vampires. Run With the Wind focused on Yuki and Nico’s sections of the final race, and we had some handy advice for Yuki’s mom and Leo asks which guy of the group Kat would bang if given the opportunity. This of course transitions into Kat asking which of the Kemurikusa girls Leo and Bcom would pick. Bcom and Leo also introduce Kat to the glory of the movie Demolition Man, when explaining the scene where Wakaba touches Rin’s memory leaf. Bcom has some thoughts about the timeline that The Promised Neverland takes place in and we have some interesting ideas about Norman’s fate after leaving the orphanage. Jojo gave us an epic battle between The Clash and Aerosmith this week, but Kat just got lost in Tiziano’s eyes and hair. Domestic Girlfriend gets us on the topic of the trope of girls who can’t cook in anime, and we collectively roll our eyes at the way in which even Natsuo’s misfortunate injury turns into more opportunities for sexy times with his sisters. We break down the many, many issues we had with this week’s episode of Kaguya-sama, and detail some ways we wish they had been clearer about Kaguya’s desires. We finish off with an episode of Dororo that had us craving for crab meat and butter, and Leo tells us about how he almost got sucked into a drained lakebed.Recorded April 4, 2019.

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back to talk about week 9 of the Winter 2019 anime season. Bcom raves about his early experiences with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Kat went to see Us and encourages people to go see it. Leo saw Captain Marvel, and felt pretty meh about it. Kat is disappointed that Mob Psycho II episode 9 didn’t stick to its guns and walked back the dramatic climax of last week’s episode. Instead it introduced a variety of new elements that had us feeling a little narrative whiplash. We argue a bit over whether Run With the Wind’s latest episode was too overdramatic, and come to several different verdicts. We meet “two” new sisters in Kemurikusa who start to complete the puzzle about the mysterious past of the show, and Kat begins to lose her mind over the disparity between her opinion on the show and Leo’s. We watched The Promised Neverland and…Ray has fetus memories, which Kat brilliantly refers to as plot spackle. Yeah. Moving on, Kat’s cat takes issue with her making blatantly racist requests of Bcom during our JoJo Part 5 discussion and viciously attacks her on Bcom’s behalf. Kat calls Narancia a hick, and Leo engages in some serious hick gate-keeping and gives us a lesson in true hickness. We finally reach the point of Domestic Girlfriend where Leo began to lose faith in the manga, and when Bcom starts to get a sense that this anime is reaching for heights even stupider than he expected. Kaguya has its first truly connected three-part episode, which impresses us on the one hand, but the content of the main gag leaves us questioning if the same jokes couldn’t have been executed in a smarter way. Finally, Leo gets to reveal an important fact about Dororo that he’s known since last podcast, and wishes we had known this information from the beginning of the show.Recorded March 25, 2019.

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to talk about week 8 of the Winter 2019 anime season. Bcom tells all about the near-riot at his screening of Heaven’s Feel Part II. Kat and Leo met up with Brains and had a drunken good time. Leo breaks down an episode of Mob Runs With the Wind that turned very dark towards the end in a way that Kat is really into, and which Bcom compares to Avenger’s: Infinity War. We move onto the actual Run With the Wind where Prince and Musa learn about their own personal reasons for running, and where we maybe finally learn who Hanako likes. Kat gets triggered by a cat noise the eldest Kemurikusa sister made, and we talk about the inevitability of lewding the kemurikusas, and some fox-eared merchandise we need to exist. We move on to Krone’s endgame in The Promised Neverland and begin to see the truly horrifying depths of Isabella’s control. We finally are introduced to the meme that is King Crimson in JoJo Part 5, and we honestly can’t remember large sections of the episode…weird. We learn some important advice for dating your sisters in Domestic Girlfriend episode 8, as Natsuo continues to navigate these stormy waters. We’re finally introduced to Miyuki’s imouto in Kaguya only to find out Chika ALSO has sisters. Can Kaguya possibly pander any more to Bcom? We end with an episode of where Dororo tries to show that kids can fight demons just as well as Hyakkimaru.Recorded March 20, 2019.

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to talk about week 7 of the Winter 2019 anime season. In this week’s episode of Mob Psycho, Reigen’s psychic abilities are put to the test on a live variety show which clarifies how important Reigen’s partnership with Mob is in defining his future. Our favorite running boys make their final preparations for the Hakone Ekiden, and we make some not-so-bold predictions after learning the section assignments for each leg of the race. Kat feels Kemurikusa has become too much like a video game, and Bcom and Leo are just looking for a controller to grab. In The Promised Neverland, Sister Krone opens our eyes with some new information about the relationship between the humans and demons in the world outside the orphanage, but Isabella appears to be two steps ahead of everyone. After an impromptu karaoke session, we jump back into JoJo where we get our first glimpse of the infamous King Crimson, but we lose track of time chatting about squid ink pasta, fishing, and double-tapping your enemies. At some point we move onto Domestic Girlfriend, which continues to cement itself as the greatest anime in existence, and also teaches Leo and Bcom an invaluable lesson about the role sock puppets can play in winning over a woman’s heart. After we complain about Kaguya’s boring episode titles, we learn that it’s essential to get a part-time job and a boat license before even considering holding your crush’s hand. We finish off with an episode of Dororo that raises questions about the true nature of demons, and whether Hyakkimaru must actually slay them all, or if some can be saved.Recorded March 6, 2019.

Leo, Bcom, and Kat return to discuss week 6 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. It’s the halfway point of the season, which means we need to evaluate where we’re at, and make any midseason cuts if necessary. At the halfway point of Mob Psycho, Reigen finally has to try to find his way in the spirit-cleansing world without Mob’s assistance, and gets in over his head. Meanwhile, on Run With the Wind, the guys scope out the Hakone race, and also try to quell Jota and Joji’s doubts about Haiji’s true reasons for aiming for the top. A new sister shows up out of the blue in Kemurikusa and shows Wakaba how to harness the power of the leaves to protect the others and uncover the world’s secrets. Kat says the show makes her feel dumb…Leo has a theory about why that is. The Promised Neverland kids continue exhibit completely ridiculous knowledge, like understanding Morse code, and we discuss the apparent differences between Krone’s characterization in the manga and anime adaptation. Kat discovers Giorno sounds like DiGiorno and the podcast is off the rails again, before we get back on the rails by learning the correct pronunciation of bruschetta. Domestic Girlfriend expands its harem criteria to allow for male teacher in addition to female teachers, as it continues to layer taboos on top of each other in an effort to create the most ridiculous parody of romance drama ever made. Bcom’s a bit underwhelmed by the newest member of Kaguya’s student council. Dororo finishes off its first two-episode arc with a depressing, but touching finale demonstrating the nobility of trying to survive and rebuild in the tumult of endless war. Recorded March 3, 2019.

Kat, Leo, and Bcom return to discuss week 5 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. We kick off the podcast with some brief thoughts about the results of the Crunchyroll anime awards, which we obviously don’t agree with. Afterwards we chat about some of the nonsense we’ve been up to before jumping into Mob Psycho 100 II. Episode 5 was a showcase for some of the most spectacular animation in a TV anime in quite some time. The Run With the Wind boys take one step closer to the Hakone Ekiden, which took Kakeru turning into a glowing blue god of running to accomplish. It’s a fairly uneventful week in Kemurikusa so we breeze past that and jump into The Promised Neverland where we re-evaluate our suppositions regarding future developments of the show, and poke some fun at Norman and Ray in the process. The Golden Experience boys struggle to avoid frostbite when they face off with Ghiaccio on the road to Venezia. Leo can’t believe Giorno didn’t think of transforming them into Water Bears. But, everything up until this point was just an appetizer. The main course is Domestic Girlfriend episode 5. Bcom believes it’s possibly the greatest episode of anime yet envisioned. Mob Psycho tried, but it was like administering your medicine orally. Sure, it’ll do the trick eventually, but if you want fast-acting anime relief, you need to go to the source. Natsuo needs only support Rui by supplying supreme suppositories superbly to suppress his stepsister’s supplication. It’s a super good episode. We move onto Kaguya where Chika’s love advice involves reaffirming that they do indeed live in a society, and she will raise these boys to become respectable men. We finish off with the depressing first half of a two-part Dororo episode where Hyakkimaru finds his first love in the soothing presence of Mio, the protector of an orphanage ravaged by the ongoing wars.Recorded February 18, 2019.

Bcom, Kat, and Leo plunge into week 4 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. We recorded this episode on Valentine’s Day, and apparently Kat was so love drunk that she totally watched the wrong episode of Mob Psycho 100. To be fair, she was only off by an entire season. Luckily, Bcom and Leo rattle a synopsis off the top of their heads with surprising accuracy. Run With the Wind’s latest episode exhibits some incredibly unsafe hydration practices, which lead to predictable disaster. We continue to try to make sense of Kemurikusa as they battle a giant bug with some smart strategy. We also discover that the only true way to experience The Promised Neverland is wearing a VR headset. JoJo teaches us that laptops can kill more than just your bank account. Leo coins a new name for the sisters from Domestic Girlfriend, which fits them just…perfectly. Kat finally comes around on Chika in the latest episode of Kaguya-sama. Crunchyroll unfortunately has a stroke trying to translate the first few lines of the episode. Finally we cover JoJoJo, I mean Dororo, which turned in another really strong episode this week, with some incredible sound design in particular.Recorded February 14, 2019.

Lyndsay and Jonah are back, ready to kick off Season 2. In this episode of Other Nonsense, the two discuss what they've been up to during their break, their goals for this year, and a glimpse of upcoming episodes for the exciting second season of Pan Historia.
Leo, Bcom, and Kat are finally starting their weekly reviews again! It’s week 3 of the Winter 2018 Anime season and we have a lot to be excited about. Kat gives us a whole new way to think about Mob’s progress to explosion…we’re very sorry if you can’t get this out of your head. Leo finally found a way to relate to Run With the Wind in its 14th episode. Kemurikusa starts to unravel some of its many mysteries, but still keeps us guessing at where everything is heading. We move on to the menacing 10-year-olds of The Promised Neverland and their new caretaker Krone, which is providing another entertaining puzzle box to solve. Bcom suffers through Kat and Leo’s outlandishly poor pronunciation of Italian names in JoJo Golden Wind, and Bcom and Kat gleefully rejoice when Leo’s memory is actually wrong for once. Leo struggles to understand why Bcom and Kat actually love watching Domestic Girlfriend for the podcast, given its taboo themes and incredibly dumb overarching plot. Bcom breaks down the production of the greatest ED of 2019, with Chika Fujiwara’s love detective dance at the end of Kaguya episode 3. Kat also breaks down U.S. vs. Japanese statistics for high schoolers’ rates of sexual activity, with U.S. numbers that would make Chika blush. We finish off the week with Dororo giving us the epic backstory of the creation of Hyakkimaru’s prosthetic appendages and the journey that brought him to his current state.Recorded February 5, 2019.

Kat, Leo and Bcom have returned to close out the second half of their Winter 2019 first impressions and pick the top 8 shows that we’ll be following this season. After Leo and Kat cry about work and the freezing cold weather, Bcom cries about the Kristaps Porzingis trade. Once we get into anime, Bcom has some special Swedish intelligence to help understand the main love interest of Girly Air Force. We felt Quintessential Quintuplets offered a surprisingly inoffensive ecchi harem setup, when compared with typical genre offerings from the past couple of years. Our review of Grimms notes was…well, grim. Boogiepop and Others might work better as a light novel than an anime, in our opinion, as it left us wanting more context. The Price of Smiles was a bit too expensive for us, apparently. Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka is another in a long line of underwhelming post-Madoka dark magical girl shows, but this one at least made us laugh. Domestic Kanojo’s hentai-esque premise with high quality art and direction caught Bcom’s attention. Kat was pleased that actual sex took place in the first episode of an anime, for once. We caught up on the first half of JoJo Part 5 and attempted to explain the insane escapades the boys are currently getting up to in Italy. Bcom reports in from the frontlines of W’z where nothing makes sense and DJ Juice has captured the hearts and minds of Osaka with his absolutely terrible music. Our review of Kaguya-sama: Love is War devolves into Kat offering up a $50 gift certificate for the “Bride of Bcom” prize contest if listeners recreate Chika’s dance from the episode 3 ED. We move to a somewhat clever cute girls show called Endro, before continuing with a not very clever comedy in Miss Ueno. Bcom loved the incredible CGI aerial dogfights in The Magnificent Kotobuki, while Kat was more focused on how they made their pancakes so damn fluffy. Leo discovers he wants to ride the dragon as we review the first few episodes of Mysteria Friends. After everything has been reviewed, you know what time it is! We end our impressions with the VOTE, which determines the top 8 shows we’ll follow this season.Recorded February 2, 2019.

Bcom, Kat, Leo are back for a brand new year of anime ripe with possibilities! Winter 2019 is upon us and it’s time to dig straight down until we find some diamonds in the rough. We start out raving about Dororo and Mob Psycho II, which both showcased fantastic art style and animation. The new Kemono Friends aren’t as fun or educational as the old ones, which disappoints Bcom. Leo winces as Kat and Bcom get pumped up by the return of Run With the Wind. Kat holds an intervention with Japan about its now well-established trend of adult female child molester anime, which continues with WATATEN. After the break, we start on a much more hopeful note with one of the better thriller shows we’ve seen in quite some time, in The Promised Neverland. Kat teaches Bcom how to correctly pronounce Sasuke. Bcom teaches Kat about Dutch Angles. Leo, the cat whisperer, teaches us how to recognize what your cat wants at any given moment. We learn a lot from each other this episode, honestly. Kat can’t imagine why her co-hosts would like a mysterious show involving a girl with fox ears, but Leo and Bcom are way too into Kemurikusa to stop the hype train. We continue to put off talking about Shield Hero for as long as possible by chatting about our favorite JoJo characters. Finally, when there’s no way left to stall, and when Kat’s attack power has reached maximum, we unleash our wrath on the puny Shield Hero and his piece of shit anime.Recorded January 28, 2019.
