“Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.” 

That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange.

Today, we discuss the first adaptation of one of our all-time favorite animes/ mangas, Fullmetal Alchemist! 

We explore how it differs from the original manga/ 2009 anime, highlighting its highs, critiquing its lows, and trying to make sense of the trip that is The Conquerer of Shamballa. Join us in our most honest takeaways from this alternate telling of an iconic steampunk/fantasy story.

We recorded this on July 18, 2024 :-).

Matthew 24: 40-41

“Two men will be working in the field; one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left.”

In this episode, the famous 12-volume story centered around The End Times gets reimagined! We take a look at one of our favorite series during childhood, Left Behind, with older, wiser eyes, discussing how characters could have been centered, along with exploring themes and creating a congruent story for characters trying to survive the apocalypse before Earth goes kablooey.

We highly appreciate this series, but since we must chastise those we love, we’re making this story into a bit of a fixer-upper.

A podcast 2,000 years in the making...

In this episode, we dive deep into the unparalleled sensation that is the anime Attack on Titan.

We discuss the themes, the characters, the tragedy, and experience the strangely healing process of analyzing it all together.

Whether you're a long-time fan or still recovering from that ending, join us as we grapple with fate, freedom, and whether the fight was worth it all in the end.

The Force is strong with opinions in this one. In our first official episode, we tackle Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and give it a sibling-powered rewrite. 

What if Obi-Wan had an arc?

What if that siege actually made sense?

What the heck are we gonna do about Jar Jar?
