Mushroom Kingdom, here we come! We’re off this week and we have something a little special for ya– an episode of Fire Bros from behind the paywall, where we review The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Wow.
Since recording, the Kickstarter hit its goal, but you can still fund it here, there’s plenty of rewards to take advantage of by funding the campaign. We spend the rest of the movie talking about horror media, Nirvanna the Band the Show, and othersuch topics you won’t want to miss.
This week we’re talking to returning guests and friends of the show Mimiyori and Cheesymanfredo about their new(ish!) comic they collaborated on, Extra Souls!
There isn’t much more to say other than what I wrote in the introductory sentence, why don’t you just read the comic and let the episode speak for itself!
We talk to Seph-sama about hitting his goal of 9,000 subscribers, and about celebrating 9 years of making videos for YouTube!
Seph is an expert on all things Japan. You may have even seen him recently in Punch Punch Forever, a cartoon (anime) by Speedoru. He tells us about the differences between Japanese culture and western culture, including their policies towards food, stealing, and riding the train.
Be sure to check out his channel for all that and more, and we hope you enjoy this episode that’s a little different than the rest!
Just your boys Kevin and Grant on this one, as we throw back a little bit to “season one” of Thought Cops, and record in our brand new “studio”! Make sure you “check” this one out!
Grant moved, so we record in his new apartment. Exciting! We talk about Trump’s mugshot (he slays tbh), Mario loses his voice, and people are still upset about masks and vaccines suddenly?
Oh, and we complain about several customer service experiences we have had recently because we are old now.
We dive really deep into a whole shit ton of topics on this episode, starting with Max’s new game “Class of ’09: The Re-Up”, which turns the entire visual novel genre on its head. From there we get into what makes something nostalgic versus irrelevant, how to get a job as a voice actor, and most importantly: is anime bad??
All that and a hell of a lot more on this one. Don’t miss it!
This week we’re talking the Dave Matthews Band Bridge Incident, LinkedIn Lunatics, Skibidi Toilet, Funny Rave, Planet of the Bass, Reddit updoots and downboats, Zuckerberg vs. Musk, handheld videogame emulators, and brushing our teeth.
We get “interested” in the magical world of sports betting this week with longtime friend and recurring guest on the show Asterios Kokkinos of The Loudest Podcast!
Asterios makes his “season 2” debut in this episode, so we finally give him a backstory and find out just what makes him tick, I guess.
We debate whether or not TikTok is completely overwhelming in a good way or bad way, anime-themed dispensaries, and discuss the dichotomy between blue checkmarks on twitter versus other platforms. We also listen to some listener voicemails, and lots more!
THIS. IS. SPARTA. Sorry we keep doing this, last one for a while, I swear. This week we have Keaton Monger on, the maker of the original Sparta Remix, as well as a number of other early internet classics, such as the Evil Strawberry, Ducks Live on the Moon, Michael Phelps Restaurant, and a ton of others. Make sure to check out his website for all his other work HERE.
This episode we spend a lot of time going over the landscape of the early internet, making mega-viral web hits, creating content, love/hate relationships with content, the passage of time, and the Numa Numa guy.
We took a break, but we’re back! Some said episode 299 might be our last, but don’t shoot the messenger. Persian or Greek, nobody threatens a messenger. They called us mad for coming back, but we have a couple choice words for them:
Yes, it’s the year of our M’lort 2023 and we’re still doing “This Is Sparta” jokes. So what, I still Rickroll people too. We’re still streets ahead of Elon Musk, who is about to find out what vaporwave is in the next couple weeks. Now all we need is to ruin a very popular website and we’ll have made it.
Thank you for the continued support for these past 300 episodes. We also have a bonus episode coming down the pipeline within the next day or so, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, enjoy our 300th episode, we talk about some of our plans moving forward and answer some voicemails!
