ANIMUS

Honestly, we’re back!

We start the new year off surprised and terrified. We talk a little about the combustible engine, a lot about the importance of inclusivity and media, and we debut some new music from our resident house band, Night City Slow Lane!

Honestly, we’re pretty grateful.

This week we wrap up what turned out to be an incredible first season. We discuss our favourite moments from the show, why scheduling is so important and get very real (and surprisingly open) on mental health and the pressures of the Christmas season.

Also Mikey tests Jon with a super tough pop quiz.

Thank you all for the love for the last 20 episodes, we couldn’t have done this without you guys. We can’t wait to level up in Season 2, and we want your feedback! If there’s guests you want us to chat to, projects you want us to shine a light on or just some changes you think we should make, let us know!

You can reach out to us via [email protected], slide in our DM’s at @mikeyshujinko, @jonnyhawkwind or @animuspodcast.

We can’t wait to hear from you guys!

Honestly, we weren’t ready for this one.

This week we send good buddy Rob a lot of love, discuss the importance of listening to new music and chime in on the Jared Dines controversy. Also we begin to write the screenplay for our new Animated family film.

It’s a pretty chatty episode as we start to wrap up Season 1, so we answer some questions from you guys!

Honestly, this one is EXPLICIT.

This week we’re hanging out with Matty P from The Hero Dies First (he said you can call him that, he loves it!) and exploring the worlds of both Deathcore and the UK Top 40. We explore Matthew’s early beginnings with music, answer some questions that you’ve submitted and we try our hardest to get our first copyright claim!

Honestly, Tex disrupts the hell outta this episode.

This week we finally talk about video games! Jon dotes over The Outer Worlds, Mikey gets mad at Outerwilds and we discuss the dangerous (and expensive) world of politics in video games.

Also, how good was Final Fantasy XV?!

Honestly, this one gets emotional.

This week we sit down with the incredibly talented Alex Jones, photographer, husband and Dad. We chat about the importance of finding your why, how taking left turns in life is rarely a bad thing and why the size of your audience doesn’t mean a thing.

Honestly, no-one else showed up.

This week, we take a break from our string of lovely guests to hang out with each other and give a little insight into our imperfect creative process. We talk a little about being embarrassed, getting out of your own way and how ego is most definitely the enemy.

Honestly, Mikey had no idea..

This week we sit down with podcast host and player of just about every instrument on planet earth, Harvey Lake! We discuss his fame and success with MSRY, Devin Townsend being a sweetheart and Mikey learns the horrifying origins of Norwegian Black Metal!

Honestly, ASMR should be made illegal.

This week we’re joined by our good buddy and lover of classic sci-fi Michele. We talk the woes of being a home owner, HG Wells finest work and some seriously low grade euphoria.

This one was nearly called “The Problem With a Moist Mouth Is... / The Revenge of Plaster-Man / ...And Still They Come (Ft. ???)!” but Jon reckoned that that sounded too much like when a really successful band bombs out and does a concept album and no-one understands what the fuck they’re on about

Honestly, chainsaws really are the worst.

This weeks guest is podcast host, youtuber, musician and casual Resident Evil fan, Psy! We talk about his show, the First Aid Spray podcast, his origins as a creator and the phenomenon known as Ninja Sex Party.
