19 – The Huaisang Stinger

“Web of Intrigue” is a pretty appropriate name for season 2, episode 3, because your hosts and the entire rest of the MXTX community sure are online! Settle in on a nice hill to die on and come with us as we pay respect to the fallen Scum Villain manhua, hear the good word of “jiujiu” 25 times, and get the tea on a certain sweet ice-skatin’, leaf-slicin’, sunglasses-over-blindfold-wearin’ Daozhang. Before Fallon gets to him.Intro: Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You, arr. & perf. by Olivia Lin Outro: Warren G. & Nate Dogg – Regulate; arr. & perf.…

77 – Could Be Big Joe

Our usual British correspondent Alex was busy so we brought on a very special and very Scottish guest to fill us in on all the latest from across the pond. What is proroguing? Can you cook it in a skillet? Will the Matts be forced into unarmed combat to establish dominance, or will they do what the Alexes did and just sort themselves by capitalization preference? Will Val download Jeremy Renner, the Jeremy Renner app? Listen to find out the answers to some of those things, and more!Hosted by Val and featuring Matt (not GameCube) Edited by alex leafcrunchMusic used:…

51 – Miranda’s Boyfriend is Pokémon GOing to Die

After a week off we’re back to talk about season 4 episode 3, Defining Moments. The men of the show are entirely on their bullshit, especially Big (who’s never been so insufferable). And Miranda’s war criminal boyfriend is literally shitting! So that’s great. At least Samantha is here to bring us the sapphic energy we want, need, and deserve.
