Disco Elysium is the latest victim of Australia’s Classification Board, those evil boomers who want to stop you having fun. Ok, I’m only exaggerating a little. It took us this long to get R18 games, why do they keep getting banned? Why does the ACB treat games differently to movies? There’s a long history of video game censorship in Australia, and we spent way longer than planned talking about it.

Some ants live significantly longer than others, being waited on hand and foot by the workers. But they aren’t the queen, they’re just workers infected with tapeworms. This is the most interesting example of parasitism I think I’ve ever seen, and I’m really hoping we work out how to do it to people soon.

DJ couldn’t pick just one thing to talk about in pop culture, so we got the merger of Warner Media and Discovery, and Japan’s pick for the next live action Hollywood anime movie. They’ve got some very interesting views on the reason Hollywood should adapt their pick, and it might even be an anime you’ve never heard of.
