32 – Boots (Do Not) Need Knockin’

Happy Hall of Days! This week, we’re supposedly reading chapters 19 and 20–parts 1 & 2 of the “Contentment” arc–but mostly we’re talking about Canadian prog trio Rush, our terrible 7th-to-9th grade selves, Venn diagrams, Facetune vs. Faceapp, and the word “butt.” We also take a special pre-recap trip to <s>Yiling Flavortown</s> Baopals to finish up our Christmas shopping! “MERRY”Intro: Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You, arr. & perf. by Olivia Lin Outro: Rush – Subdivisions, arr. by Roy Also used: -Frederic Chopin – Nocturne in E-Flat, Op. 9, No. 2, perf. by James GalwayNoisespace | Patreon |…

28 – Terminally Committing to the Bit

Chapters 11 and 12, “Refinement” parts 1 & 2, are pretty short, but that doesn’t mean MXTX isn’t cramming as much tomfoolery into them as possible. This week, Wei Wuxian gets gang-owned, somebody says The Thing, and we discover the consequences of Resting Depression Face. Also, we pay tribute to our favorite confirmed himbo, since our “dear author” sure isn’t gonna!Intro: Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You, arr. & perf. by Olivia Lin Outro: The Untamed OST – Liebing Also used: -Frederic Chopin – Nocturne in E-Flat, Op. 9, No. 2, perf. by James Galway -Herb Alpert &…

27 – The Steven Expanded Universe

On this special Late Night edition of PodRecesses, we’re reading chapters 9 & 10, “Arrogance” parts IV and V. Turns out that from the Lan sect’s billionaire brain poisoning to Wei Wuxian’s messy bitch prions to Roy’s elf brain, everyone’s brains are on fire! Except for Wen Ning, who doesn’t have one at all. And while we unfortunately have to say goodbye to a long-standing segment, we do spend entirely too long talking about a certain AU, so, sorry bout that. Anyway, see you at the asbestos factory!(also sorry once again for the audio quality! it gets bad for a…

26 – Twin Vriskas

Hey, uh, reading is hard, folks! Some stuff happens in chapters 6-8, the “Arrogance” arc. An ass has an ass, Lan Wangji and his sports-model guqin show up, a little boy is extremely rude, and Jiang Cheng uses Star Finger. More importantly, though, we celebrate some Very Special birthdays with a Very Special version of one of our favorite segments, so don’t go lighting yourself on fire just yet!

PodRecesses Extended Universe #2: Hearts of Wulin LIVE from Nekocon!

Anybody here game? We sure do, and so do special guests Colin, Sarah, and producer Elliott, who have joined us live in our Virginia Beach studio after the famously 4-star (out of 10) anime convention Nekocon! GM Colin takes us through the “cool n fun” wuxia TTRPG Hearts of Wulin, while Roy, Fallon, and Sarah hop out of their Jin Guangyao, Nie Mingjue, and Wei Wuxian cosplay respectively and right into the spirits of the boys themselves. Wifi makes an enemy of the entire cultivation world (as he tends to), Jiggy passes on the hot chip but lies nonetheless, and…
