78 – American Horror Story: Men Writing

Oops we got a little riled and rambly on this one! The episode of the week was season 6 episode 4, Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little, AKA the episode that inspired He’s Just Not That Into You. It’s one of those weird ones where Carrie is somehow one of the more valid characters, even though her and Berger’s romance is extremely painful to watch. Unrelated to the gals, we also discuss taxidermied horses, Fiona Apple, and what Boardwalk Empire has in common with Alex’s sex dreams.

Episode 7: Takoyaki Bell

Mmm! What's that smell? Smells like piping hot fried octopus balls, brushed with an unctuous sauce, striped with creamy mayonnaise, and sprinkled with savory bonito. What're those things called again? Cinnabon Delights? We're talking about Chapter 7 of Yakuza 0: A Dark Escape. This week, we're discovering a whole new way to knock someone out, beginning our Cabaret Club adventure, and seeing a whole new side of Wen Hai Lee. On the side, we get wrapped up in dubious medical testing and meet a man with a stranger's face and a very particular set of skills. Grab me a Baja…

Sports fans, Derek knows he fucked up the number of the show in the intro, don’t worry about it. But despite that rocky start, our intrepid hosts navigate between the twin poles of Wild Digressions (conspiracy theories! the recorded output of the Decemberists!) and Hard-Hitting Film Criticism (the lingering effects of propaganda! agreeing in bad faith! the Cable Hall of Fame career of Wolfgang Petersen!). Plus, chapter 2 of the Untitled Isabelle Arf Fan Fiction Project. In short, another classic episode!This week’s matchups: Das Boot v. Platoon The Lives of Others v. The Wages of Fear–See the bracket [SPOILERS AHEAD]…

39 – Huge, Wide, and Large

WE’RE BACK kind of. We’re at least hobbling out of the Yiling dollar store in our Fucci slides with half of an episode because we’re still trying to claw our way out of our hiatus. Today on this auspicious funny weed day, we’re reading chapter 33, part 1 of the appropriately-named “Grasses” arc. The vibes are stank, a single chicken is getting fed, the zombies are getting bullied, and if like 19 paragraphs of text are to be believed, it’s all bad.
