OK, this time we're celebrating 200 episodes for real. We reflect on five years in Sicko Mode and bask in the praise and congratulations of our fans and homies. Anime Sickos Podcast forever
Incredible! We've been in Sicko Mode for 200 episodes! What better way to celebrate this incredible achievement than to discuss our favorite dusts and goops! What, you thought we were gonna read a bunch of kind words from fans? That's next episode!
Danette Chavez goes guesto mode! Danette is the new editor-in-chief of the AV Club, an icon of internet culture writing recently freed from a grim period of ownership by the truly boneheaded G/O Media group. We talk about the challenges facing writing online, the pitfalls so many business guys keep stumbling into, and what it takes for a publication to be sustainable and forge an identity.

The Sickos yammer. No topic! All minutia! We yap about eating burgers under the L tracks, Home Depot hot dogs, Joe's son getting spooked by the Roomba, Monster Train, and any number of dumb shit. It's fun to hang out with your Sicko homies
Unbelieveable! The Sickos discuss an actual anime: the 2022 Apple TV+ live action thriller Severance starring Adam Scott. This shit is so good. We basically just go nutty over how much we love this show. Some spoilers but we leave the finale and the big twists unrevealed. Also we got a fun sketch with the Worst of All Possible Worlds boys. It's a banger
The Sickos discuss Joe's recent layoff, and how getting laid off is fine, and it's easy to get a new job, and there WILL be a future, and you can depend on it, and it's easy and smart to feel confident in the future, and it's all going to be so normal.
A.J. Ditty from the Worst of All Possible Worlds podcast goes guesto mode! We learn how to act, why seeing your parents shot in the face would make you get all A's in acting school, visual novels, Elden Ring, and the joy of writing lore-heavy serialized interstitial skits to stick in the middle of your chat podcast.

Sitcom pilots tend to suck ass. They have to do boring exposition and the characters haven't settled into a rhythm yet. Well what if we told you there existed a perfect comedy pilot. There does: the pilot for the 2005 Comedy Central series Stella, an episode so good it could have come from season four.
Comedy is an endless playground of creativity and innovation, but some jokes are so good that nothing could ever be better in its niche. We call these "Best in Slot" jokes and most of them are from 30 Rock, The Simpsons, and Venture Bros. Listen to us talk about them!
Remy Siu, creative director of the excellent narrative game 1000xResist, goes guesto mode! We discuss how he & the game's writing staff put together a frankly staggering work that you WILL buy and play, how MMOs were more fun when they made zero concessions to the player, how to use lore for good instead of evil, why only geniuses appreciate Vinland Saga's farm arc, and generally jaw about art and process in a way that you will love.
