A few weeks back we recorded an episode, just to have Audacity continually stop functioning and for the file to seem corrupted. And now...we ended up finding an MP3 of it that had actually successfully downloaded! The lost episode, unlost! In it we discuss the various media we consumed in our time off from work due to COVID-19. We share our queerpinions on:

Persona 5 Royal - combat, life simulation gameplay, and thematic flailing

Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy VII Remake

Annihilation and the nature of adaptations

Tsurune

All-time great film Paranoid Park

One Piece and depictions of anti-government sentiment in media

Et cetera

You can also find the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Podcast Addict!

Content warning: We’re a fairly NSFW podcast that includes use of reclaimed homophobic slurs. Our discussions this week cover media that include sexual assault and hypersexualization of women.
