Science Food and George Lucas-Induced Eternal Childhoods

Corrupt adults from Ikebukuro

We’ve officially launched the Bukuro Boys podcast and are now putting up episodes regularly. Starting this week, we’ll be releasing new episodes every Monday at 9 p.m. Japan time, which is 8 a.m. in New York and early morning in California. There’s a bit of a lag as we catch up with the recording schedule, but we’re settling into the rhythm. Some early listeners have already tuned in and, while it might seem like a lot at first, we think the pace will even out soon enough.

We’re also exploring ideas for our Patreon content. We’re open to suggestions, so please drop a comment if there’s something specific you’d like us to cover. Behind the paywall, we’re considering diving into more niche topics, like astral experiences and the occult. The Patreon will be a space for deeper, perhaps more personal content—get in while the getting is good!

This episode covered a wide range of topics, from the absurdity of McDonald’s and fast food culture to the parallels between the franchise model and religious missionary work. We reminisced about childhood memories of fast food, the strange nostalgia it evokes, and how those early experiences shape our adult perspectives on things like consumerism and media consumption. We also touched on the bizarre fusion of fast food with religious themes, like the notion of a Christian airline or Islamic fast food chain, pondering the marketing possibilities of such ideas.

As we continue to refine the show, we’re excited to see how it evolves and what topics will resonate most with our audience. Stay tuned as we dive into more thought-provoking and, at times, absurd discussions.
