"What if a cyber brain could possibly generate its own ghost, create a soul all by itself? And if it did, just what would be the importance of being human then?" Join Aaron and James this week as they explore the influential animated film adaptation of the classic manga. Armed with paranoia, existential dread, and a shaky grasp on what it means to be human, your hosts journey to dissect the film and its themes, while stopping along the way to think about whether they’d welcome cybernetic enhancements of their own. (Spoiler: They wouldn't.)

For this special episode, Aaron and James talk about their history with Pixar, discuss the company's body of work as a whole, and then dive into their own personal top fives.

They would also like to formally apologize in advance to Cars fans everywhere. (Just kidding. They aren't sorry.)

"My friends are my power!" For this momentous episode, Aaron and James are joined by a great friend on their journey to discuss the highs and lows of the dearly beloved first entry in an extremely befuddling, yet charming series. Join them as they share fond and frustrating memories, and retire the highly-controversial Kingdom Hearts Corner in marvelous fashion. Oh, and don't forget: if at any point you're confused ... well, so are they.

Riddle me this, riddle me that, look how Joel Schumacher massacred our bat! This week, Aaron and James are of two minds about a legendary misstep of a superhero movie. On one hand, it’s pretty terrible. On the other hand, it might have succeeded at doing what it aimed to do … while also being a pretty terrible movie. Listen in and decide for yourself.

I'm-a gonna win!! This week, Aaron and James were thrilled to talk about all of the console releases in this beloved kart racing series. Listen in as they discuss the series at a high level, delve deeper into each individual game, list some of their favorite courses, and break down what makes the series so special. (IMPORTANT NOTE: During the recording, James unfortunately forgot to bring up the sadistic joy he gets from ramming into Toad and knocking him off the track. So, let it be known here and now.)

"Welcome to prime time, bitch!" This week, Aaron and James originally decided to do group hypnosis, only to find that neither of them have a dream power capable of defeating Freddy Krueger. Instead, they settled on discussing this wonderfully silly horror gem of the 80s. Tune in as they break down why this movie is such a good time despite its faults.

"When the red moon hangs low, the line between man and beast is blurred. And when the Great Ones descend, a womb will be blessed with child." In Part 2 of their Bloodborne coverage, Aaron and James are again joined by a special guest and take a look at the areas, lore, and bosses that make this game iconic. If you're into cosmic childbirth, rural fishing villages, or abandoning whole swaths of society to die, this is the game for you! Also, there may or may not be a spider inside the moon - listen and decide for yourself!

Fear the old blood. This week, Aaron and James are joined by a very special guest to talk about one of their absolute favorite games - a game with so much to offer that they need two episodes to do it! In Part 1, join them as they take a deep dive into the development, design, themes, and gameplay. And tune in next time to Part 2, where they'll dissect the story and dense lore.

In this very special episode, Aaron and James break down their love for FromSoftware's iconic Souls series of video games (+Bloodborne) and why the series holds such a special place in their lives. Then, they discuss their excitements, hopes, and fears for the upcoming Elden Ring.

[Insert least annoying quote from the musical here, if possible.] This week, Aaron and James attempt to discuss what James would describe as the movie equivalent of eating broken glass. What is a Jellicle cat? Who is Rum Tum Tugger? Why is he a curious cat? Who am I? What is going on? We've got questions, but if you're looking for answers, well ... look elsewhere.
