December 23, 2025Oldtaku no Radio #063 – Ghost Cat Anzu
Dropping in for a holiday visit to take part in Anime Secret Santa, Jared and Ink of Oldtaku no Radio talk about the 2024 movie, Ghost Cat Anzu. The movie, based off of a manga by Takashi Imashiro, focuses on a tween, Karen (#NotThatKaren), who is taken away from the city by her widower father and dropped off at a rural temple tended by her grandfather. The movie deals with the processing of loss and grief via a sense of sympathy as well as a nostalgia for youthful mischief, bolstered by supernatural elements, and makes fantastic use of ishōtenketsu structure to nail its finale.

November 19, 2025AGP#194 – Switch 2 and Mario Kart World
In this episode recorded shortly after the release of the Switch 2, Evan and David review their new consoles and the launch title Mario Kart World.
