A jam-packed show this week as we check in on the things we've been watching, reading and eating. We check out FLCL: Alternative, apologize to Violet Evergarden, take a Borgen break and remember Isao Takahata before sharing our thoughts on 'A Place Further Than the Universe,' one of the stars of the Winter '18 anime season, and the romantic black comedy "Mr. Right,' from the people who brought you 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.'

This week on the show Cait and Jord check out 'Roxanne Roxanne,' the recent Netflix biopic of golden age rapper Roxanne Shante. We've been petitioning for the stories of the actual pioneers to be told for a while now, was this what we wanted?

The staple of anyone's television diet, the comfy blanket guiding you through the hours between school and dinnertime or the reward after finishing your homework, it's the network sitcom!

Also this ep! An update to Jordan's rant from last week, Caitlin is enchanted by the theatre of the squared circle again and updates on what we've been checking out, including Horizon Zero Dawn and more Jessica Jones talk.

Jordan is VEXED, y'all, and he needs to get it off of his soul, which takes a while, but we still have time to discuss two movies about people past their primes trying to find a renewed purpose, 2008's Oscar nominated drama 'The Wrestler,' and 1999's sci-fi comedy "Galaxy Quest.'

We also talk about Jessica Jones, the unexpected return of a member of the Comf Hall of Fame and other assorted chitchat. Don't be gatekeepers, y'all. It's not a good look.

Romantic literature and volleyball, they go together like chocolate and gasoline, but somehow your new BFFs always make discussions of such disparate items compelling.

Also this week! Black Panther continues to reign, The Anime Awards are....a thing that happened, fuckery plays out in real time and everyone loses, updates to all the things we've been checking out, Jordan drops an important ball and more. Thanks for hanging, friends.
