One Piece, 166-168
May 19, 2022 01:40 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBThank you Gabriela for commissioning this episode! This episode is really full of revelations, and the one that I should have seen coming is about the fact that the Shandorans are from the piece of Jaya that shot into the sky, and they were robbed of their homeland due to the reverence of the Sky people for "vearth", which they don't have much of. It's interesting to hear Gan Fall admit all this, and I am very curious what kind of restitution he's planning on trying to make. Is he going to h...
Rule Of Wolves, Chapters 12-14
May 18, 2022 23:20 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBThank you very much to Joanna for commissioning this episode! This book is really heating up and I am just LOVING it. First of all, we've got Nina and Hanne going to see the Prince and watching the interaction between him and the "Lantsov Pretender", which Nina isn't as confident about anymore. Seems like he may actually be the real deal. Then there's the return of Alina, and the Darkling pulling whatever kind of bullshit he's decided to pursue now. I'm not sure how he's doing all this, but...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 32- The Fuhrer's Son
May 18, 2022 20:40 - 1 hour - 30.1 MBThank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode is an odd one, as we wind up accidentally getting swept up in a chance meeting with the Fuhrer's son, Selim. Turns out that he's a fanboy of the Elric brothers, and this makes everything so awkward. Meanwhile, Kimblee is on Scar's trail, trying to figure out where he's heading and why. For some reason, every time that we see Scar he's only with one person, so I don't know where the rest of his crew is. Thank you so much ...
One Piece, 163-165
May 18, 2022 18:15 - 1 hour - 31.6 MBThank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! The gang's all here again, and I'm so glad that we're back to having the crew as a team once again. We find out something really interesting here, and that's the fact that the piece of Jaya that disappeared (and lost poor Noland his reputation and his life) wound up getting caught in the knock-up stream and swept into the sky. That means that this land may potentially be as full of gold as Noland promised...
Sex Education, S03E07
May 18, 2022 15:10 - 1 hour - 30.2 MBThank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! Y'all, the next episode of Sex Education is the last one of the series so far, and I'm devastated. This episode was so good, this season has been so good, and I'm just really impressed with how much this show has evolved. We have the saddest and happiest things going on, from Maureen reconnecting with her ex to Jean WARNING: I cry a LOT this episode while talking about the issue of abortion. Be ready. Thanks for listening, and ...
Fullmetal Alchemist- Brotherhood, Episode 31- The 520 Cens Promise
May 17, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 29.2 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! First of all, it turns out that Dr. Marcoh is still alive, and he's been taken into custody by Scar for reasons that I do not think are clear to us yet. I expect that Scar thinks Marcoh can do something for him regarding alchemy...bu Scar isn't hungry for power, he's hungry for vengeance against someone that he now knows is a Homunculi. Does he think Marcoh can help him fight Wrath???? Meanwhile, Ed is leaving Hawkeye's place and reporting to ...
Rule Of Wolves, Chapters 9-11
May 17, 2022 18:35 - 1 hour - 29.2 MBThank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode! This shit is really starting to get nuts. I keep thinking Nina has been found out or is in danger of being found out, and it keeps being like...borderline true? True in a way? And I'm really impressed at the way in which Leigh Bardugo is able to sustain the tension for so long and make me genuinely worry for her despite knowing that she's a main character and very unlikely to just be executed or anything. I am simply ALWAYS nervous for her!...
One Piece, 160-162
May 17, 2022 16:10 - 1 hour - 28.1 MBThank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! These episodes of the show are all centered around our friends dealing with the separate trials and tribulations, some of them with the priests and some with the guerilla warriors who are about to start a fight with God. They're on their way to reuniting but it's going to be an arduous path to get there, and in the meantime there's a lot of sharks as well as villains to deal with, and an ex-God who is determined to help poor Chopp...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 30- The Ishvalan War Of Extermination
May 17, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 29.3 MBThank you very much to Max for commissioning this episode! So this is a really heavy episode, in which we learn a lot more about the genocide of the Ishvalan people and the ways in which the folks we have gotten to know reacted to the orders they were given at the time. There's something reassuring about the fact that some of them had a major issue with what they were being asked to do, but it's upsetting to know how few of them actively resisted. The soldier's drive to obery runs very deep....
Ascend, Chapters 12-15.5
May 17, 2022 02:25 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBThank you to Heather for commissioning this episode! This is the point at which we discovered what happened to Brian, and I'm very excited over the fact that he's going to wind up being a superhuman after all. I wasn't sure what direction we were going with him and it seems like he's going to be okay...in terms of actually continuing to be alive, at least. But he's definitely sort of a freak now. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Sex Education, S03E06
May 16, 2022 23:55 - 1 hour - 30.2 MBThank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I'm so relieved that things in Nigeria don't go the way that I was fearing they would, and interestingly we've got Michael showing up at Jean's house for an impromptu therapy session. There's a lot going on at the school in the meantime, which I think might be one of the more disturbing but accurate portrayals of the kind of "discipline" a lot of schools inflict upon their students. Thanks a ton for listening, and I will see yo...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 29- Struggle Of The Fool
May 03, 2022 02:25 - 1 hour - 29.4 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode is wild in that we're getting Wrath basically telling Ed and Al everything and saying, "So glad to get that off my chest, as you were, gentlemen." He's so cavalier about it that even Roy is like "WTF" and when he shares this info with Armstrong we find out that our sweet cinnamon roll protested what he was asked to do in Ishval and was sent home. I knew I liked this guy! Meanwhile, Ed and Al are harboring Mei Chang inside Al's arm...
Ascend, Chapters 9.5-11
May 03, 2022 01:15 - 59 minutes - 27.1 MBThank you very much to Heather for commissioning this episode! This episode starts with the final escape of Scorp and Viper from Dr. Spears' facility, which surprisingly is pulled off essentially without incident, and without a discovery of Brian because it turns out he's in a totally different place, namely at Dr. Spears' private home. Meanwhile, Ryan is grieving the damage that she's done to Jenna, and Elgin finds out what happened and absolutely panics and bails. Which is, to say it mildl...
Rule Of Wolves, Chapters 5-8
May 03, 2022 00:50 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBThank you again to Joanna for commissioning this episode! These chapters, we find out that there's quite a huge payoff to Nina being on the ground in Fjerda. She's able to tip them off about a secret attack that would have flattened them if they hadn't been prepared, but even with warning the losses are substantial. Meanwhile, Nina is being contacted with a new mission, one that's subtle and dangerous enough that she's going to be walking the edge of a knife, and Nikolai comes back to his pa...
Fullmetal Alchemist- Brotherhood, Episode 28- Father
May 02, 2022 23:40 - 1 hour - 30.9 MBThank you very much to Max for commissioning this episode! So this is the episode where the boys finally meet Father, but if I hoped that this was going to be a major reveal of what the objective is for this crew of homunculi, I was disappointed. Instead of getting a straight answer out of him regarding what he's doing and why, we've got a convergence of almost all our characters (except for Roy's crew and Wrath) in one room duking it out. Also, Ling submits to the Father's experimentation, ...
Rule Of Wolves- Chapters 1-4
May 02, 2022 21:31 - 1 hour - 30.1 MBThank you very much to Joanna for commissioning this episode! I'm so excited to be starting this book so quickly after finishing the previous one, and I'm very much here for the way things begin even though it's super unexpected and super SUPER unsettling. I didn't think we were going to see the Darkling being able to flex his power this quickly, and if he's able to do this sort of thing already, what will he be capable of if he's loose??? Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you so...
Sex Education, S03E05
May 02, 2022 19:58 - 1 hour - 31.3 MBThank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! This is the episode where everyone is taking trips to new places, either to France as in the case of most of the class, or to Nigeria in Eric's case. I remain extremely concerned about Eric's trip and will breathe a huge sigh of relief when he's safely home. Our friends in France, meanwhile, are getting up to a lot of hijinks, whether it's because they're throwing their own shit out the window or hooking up after being left at a r...
Fullmetal Alchemist, Brotherhood, Episode 26- Party Interlude
April 26, 2022 18:20 - 59 minutes - 27.1 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! So this episode was a little tough to cover because most of it is re-treading a lot of things we've already seen. While it's understandable that we might need a refresh while watching this in real time, for the way I'm watching it just feels really redundant. However, there are also the interspersed scenes of Hempstool dreaming that he's at a party with Pinako, and reflecting on how human beings are violent and stupid and make the same mistake...
Ascend, Chapters 6.5-9.5
April 26, 2022 16:10 - 1 hour - 28.7 MBThank you to Heather for commissioning this episode! So in this section we get a pretty cool series of scenes that have me really wondering what's in store, between Brian deciding to undergo the procedure and Ryan contacting Jenna the AI. Also, there's something shady going on with Reggie and I'm dying to know what it is, because Chance can tell something is up and he's bound to find out eventually. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
King Of Scars- FINALE
April 26, 2022 13:20 - 59 minutes - 27.2 MBThank you so much to Joanna for commissioning this episode! This book ends on such an amazing cliffhanger that I'm delighted I'm going to be able to start the next one so soon. I can't believe I didn't see this coming in the first place because in retrospect it seems so obvious that we were heading in this direction, but now that we're here I'm dying to see what Zoya is gonna do with this amazing power she's inherited. And on another note, what's up with her dragon eyeballs? Thanks so much ...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 26- Reunion
April 26, 2022 02:15 - 58 minutes - 26.9 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This one is pretty fascinating because we've got the confluence of a few things going on. First, we've got Al heading to see the Father with Gluttony, and their journey underground in an area guarded by weird creatures. They're being pursued by Scar and Mei Chang, who wants her panda back, and I'm fascinated by what's going to happen when Al meets The Father. Meanwhile, Ed is on another journey through the portal, and it turns out that yes in...
One Piece, 157-159
April 26, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 29.7 MBThank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! So these are the ones in which we find out that Conis and her father are up to no good. It's not entirely their fault, because shit seems like it's being run by a psychotic being bent on low-key fascism, but it's a nicely handled reveal because I had a feeling something was off but I couldn't put my finger on it. Meanwhile, the Going Merry has been grabbed up by a giant lobster and carried away, and Nami, Robin, Chopper, and Zorro end up ...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 25- Doorway Of Darkness
April 25, 2022 22:35 - 1 hour - 30.7 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In this one, Ed is stuck (with Ling and Envy) inside Gluttony's belly, which it turns out is actually a failed attempt to recreate a portal. They spend a lot of time looking for an exit without success, and then we get to see Envy's true form and it's TERRIFYING. Meanwhile, Al is out in the regular world making a deal with Gluttony that the big guy should lead him to the Father, and Gluttony seems totally on-board for this idea. Thanks so muc...
Sex Education, S03E04
April 25, 2022 21:15 - 1 hour - 31.1 MBThank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! This episode is the one where we actually get an attempt at real sex-education in the school (and by real attempt, I by no means mean accurate or correct, I mean that there's a full class setup instead of weird little asides thrown out there before the start of chemistry or whatever) and it goes VERY poorly. As it should. Meanwhile, Maeve is connecting with Isaac again in an intimate scene that I really loved, while Ruby pulls away from ...
One Piece, 155-156
April 25, 2022 19:30 - 1 hour - 29.5 MBThank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! In this section, Nami pulls up on the weird earthlike island called Upper Yard and witnesses a strange scene. There's a group of weirdos with wings ganging up on a tattered man who seems harmless, and they're debating who gets to take him out. In the midst of this, that dude with the bazooka turns up and starts some shit, but then this massive bean of light shoots down, like God himself smiting with a laser, and the tattered man is gone. ...
The Veiled Throne, Chapters 8 & 9
April 25, 2022 17:12 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBThank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones where the Dara crews assemble an awesome shadow play to distract the Lyucu warriors while they break through the Lyucu ship's hull and attack from within. I'm blown away by the absolute nerve it takes to pull something like this off, and once again some entitled asshole forces his way in and fucking ruins everything. I'm very concerned about Takval. I'm growing to like him a lot, and we don't need to lose him at t...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 24- Inside The Belly
April 24, 2022 01:30 - 1 hour - 31.3 MBThank you so much to Max for commissioning this series! So this episode goes in a direction I never saw coming, and which I find deeply concerning. Apparently everyone in the government (at least at a higher level) is aware that Bradley is a fucking homunculus?! I hate this so much. Oh and Ed gets eaten by Gluttony. Thanks for listening!
One Piece, 152-154
April 23, 2022 23:15 - 1 hour - 29.5 MBThank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones where our friends finally get on the road (so to speak) and manage to catch a ride on the knockup stream to Skypeia. And honestly, the place is rad as hell and I want to go there. But does this place seem too good to be true? I'm worried. Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!
Sex Education, S03E03
April 23, 2022 21:15 - 1 hour - 31.4 MBThank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! So this is the episode where everyone has had to transition to school uniforms, and it goes better than Hope should have expected, but not as good as she wanted. Because she's looking for automatons and not human beings. Meanwhile, Jakob and Ola have moved in with Jean and Otis and it's...not going great. The main event in this episode though is the flattening of a poor cat under an unsecured microwave. This is truly awful and I hated it...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 23- Girl On The Battlefield
April 23, 2022 19:15 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this series! I was worried this episode was going to be about Winry getting somehow roped into things again, but thankfully she's put into a train at the end of the episode and sent safely away. Lan Fan though, is forced to sacrifice her whole arm to throw Bradley off her scent, which is so badass but also people just keep losing their arms!? Things culminate in a showdown with Gluttony at an barn outside of town, despite our friends thinking they've got hi...
One Piece, 150-151
April 23, 2022 17:35 - 1 hour - 32.4 MBThank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! In this section we get the faceoff between Bellamy the Hyena and the Saruyma Alliance, as the weirdo plunders this harmless home for the gold statue and other random treasure. Our friends are still out there finding one of those damn birds, and they come back to find all their new friends beat to shit. Luffy has HAD it, and decides to take matters into his own hands. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Ascend, Chapters 4-6.5
April 23, 2022 15:08 - 1 hour - 30.6 MBThank you so much to Heather for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which Lindon tells the team the truth about his origin and what's been going on with planet Earth this whole time. It's the time for revelations, because Jordan has told her sisters the truth about their own family as well. Or perhaps it's NOT the time for revelations, because Jordan sure doesn't share with Brian about who Doctor Spears is, which is a doubly insulting move considering that she didn't ...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 22- Backs In The Distance
April 03, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 28.9 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode was really fucking heavy. There's so much grief, there's so much violence, and there are some really effective, stark examples of how these cycles of violence continue to play out endlessly, even spanning generations. Poor Winry unexpectedly gets hit with the news that the guy Ed is fighting is the same guy who killed her parents, and we get to see the flashback of how exactly it went down. She's faced with a choice; does she aven...
What We Do In The Shadows, S02E04- The Curse
April 03, 2022 01:25 - 1 hour - 27.9 MBThank you very much to Max for commissioning this episode. Y'all, this is a REALLY good one. Oooooooh this was so good. We've got two main plots here: first, there's of course Guillermo accompanying his newly infiltrated vampire-killer club, supposedly to sabotage it before they hurt his people. That does not go at all as he planned, mostly because it turns out that they were not after his people at all, but also because he does the majority of the vampire killing. Then, there's the deadly...
Sex Education, S03E02
April 02, 2022 23:20 - 1 hour - 30.9 MBThank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! This installment of Sex Education gets a whole lot of things done, and I believe that's because so much of the focus is on the way that characters communicate with each other. We've got Isaac coming clean to Maeve after lying for months, there's Jean and Jakob sitting down and being honest about what they want, there's Adam figuring out how to tell Eric what he wants and also how to ask for help with school...and then there's pe...
Fullmetal Alchemist, Brotherhood, Episode 21- Advance Of The Fool
April 02, 2022 20:14 - 1 hour - 31.4 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In these episodes we see the immediate aftermath of the fight between Colonel Mustard and Lust, and Havoc is apparently paralyzed from the way down. This sucks. I hate this for him. Meanwhile, Ed is trying to use himself as bait for the Homunculi by putting his life in danger by fighting Scar in the street. I'm not sure exactly how effective this will be to his aims, but Gluttony and Wrath were definitely coming to the party before Ling messe...
One Piece, 148 & 149
March 31, 2022 02:40 - 1 hour - 30.7 MBThank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode! These episodes are a big improvement on the confusing jumble that I covered last time. We're introduced to a new friend, and some dudes that I enjoyed have returned to be helpful and fun instead of enemies. The whole premise here is that there's possibly a way to launch the ship into the sky, but it's pretty dangerous and it's not even a guarantee that there is a Sky Island to get to. LET'S DO IT!
Wizards At War, Chapters 13, Part 2
March 31, 2022 00:27 - 1 hour - 31.2 MBThank you very much to Yama for commissioning this episode! In the remainder of this chapter, we come face-to-face with the Lone One much more quickly than I had expected. I have to be honest, I'm a little disappointed by how that scene went, but there's enough left of the book that I'm thinking maybe Diane Duane can still pull this one out. On a sadder note, it seems we've lost Ronan and I'm super sad about it. But like, he BETTER be actually dead. Thanks for listening!
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 20- Father Before The Grave
March 30, 2022 02:00 - 1 hour - 32 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In this one we're getting some additional information about what could potentially be going on with Al's body in the portal based on some revelations about the bodies that were conjured with alchemy. The issue I'm having is that there are an awful lot of leaps being made that don't seem to have a lot of evidence behind them, and I'm wondering if there's some additional info in the manga that might fill in the gaps I'm seeing in the show. Than...
One Piece, 146 & 147
March 29, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 32.9 MBThanks to Florian for commissioning this episode! This one was tough for me, folks. I am hoping that given time, the pieces that these episodes are trying to set up can settle into place...but so many things get introduced in really clumsy ways with very little time to breathe that I felt kind of lost. Hopefully next time it will be a little easier to follow. Thanks for listening, and see you soon!
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 19- Death Of The Undying
March 29, 2022 17:15 - 1 hour - 29.7 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In this episode, we're getting the confrontation between Colonel Mustard and Lust, and shit goes very very left. When they track down Barry The Chopper in the hospital, there's a big showdown that ends with Havoc badly injured, and Barry dead. Meanwhile, Ed is off on his own and stumbles across his father. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Sex Education- S03E01
March 29, 2022 15:40 - 1 hour - 31.3 MBThank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I'm so excited to be getting back into this universe. I'm really into the changes that we're seeing in this season already, and I'm super curious what lies in store with the new Headmistress. Also, I'm waiting for the bomb of Otis's deleted message to explode. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
Reaper- FINALE
March 29, 2022 12:35 - 1 hour - 36.2 MBThank you ever so much to Andy for commissioning this entire book and for adding on an additional episode so that I could really take my time. Because I NEEDED SOME TIME, KIDS.
The Veiled Throne, Chapters 5-7
March 29, 2022 02:26 - 1 hour - 29.8 MBThank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! In this section, we get some more time with Goztan as she explains who she is and gets some unexpected backup from Oga about her identity. Things turn a weird corner and it seems like she's about to rape him? Also, we get to see Thera again! She's taking the reins while also taking a step back and letting her fiance get some shine as well. Thanks for listening!
Ascend, Chapters 1-3
March 25, 2022 17:20 - 1 hour - 29.7 MBThank you to Heather for commissioning this episode! We're starting the next book in the Children Of Divinity series, and we're finding out about the Incarna and the way that they assisted with the direction of humanity's growth over the millenia. We get a lot more detail about how it worked, and the fact that they are getting instructions from an actual god? Well damn. Thanks for listening!
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 18- The Arrogant Palm of a Small Human
March 25, 2022 14:55 - 1 hour - 28.4 MBThank you to Max for commissioning this episode! We're getting the wrap-up of the whole mess with Barry The Chopper in this episode as Gluttony is in the middle of trying to strangle Hawkeye when the curtain goes up. What follows is a series of chases that end in the basement area of a hospital, and we watch Colonel Mustard go absolutely ham on Lust's ass. Thanks so much for listening!
One Piece 144-145
March 25, 2022 03:35 - 1 hour - 29.9 MBThank you very much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! We're moving onto a new segment of our friends' journey, and we're finding out that our lovely, weird Grand Line might be even weirder than we all thought! Are there floating islands? As far as I'm concerned, why not? Thanks for listening!
Reaper, Chapters 23 & 24
March 25, 2022 01:25 - 1 hour - 32.7 MBThank you so much to Andy for commissioning this episode! It's the penultimate episode of coverage for Reaper, and I'm absolutely dying because there's so much being put on the table that I only partially understand, and I'm not given a chance to try to suss out what it can all mean because it's all followed up by the moment we've all feared; Suriel's marble goes out. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I'm hoping you have been enjoying the coverage!
Fullmetal Alchemist, Episode 17- Cold Flame
March 15, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 32.3 MBThank you again so much to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode has got my conspiracy theory wheels rolling, and there's no telling where their spinning is going to take me. I spend pretty much the entire episode going back and forth on whether or not Ross is actually dead, and whether or not Roy has actually gone bad. I CAN'T DECIDE. But I think she's still alive? Or not? 😫 I DON'T KNOW!
One Piece, 129 & 130 WANNABE
March 15, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBThank you so much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode and joining me for the recording! These episodes are the ones in which our crew finally leaves Alabasta to head back out for more adventures. Thankfully, Vivi does not come along, but they still wind up with a new woman in their crew after all. SURPRISE! Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
