In this episode, I talk about the pervasive notion that people nowadays are trapped in a perpetual adolescence, unwilling to take on the responsibilities that defined the adults of earlier generations. Is this true? I have no idea, but we sure seem to not be able to shut up about it.

I am joined by posting phenom and podcaster June (@JUNlPER) to discuss the intricacies, nuances and dangers of going online and saying stuff for attention. We also talk about being raised religious, right wing joylessness and its interaction with art, and those horrible Matt Walsh baby dolls.

I talk about my love of turn-based JRPGs that take place in urban settings. I mount a defence of turn-based combat before discussing three of my favourites in the genre: Final Fantasy VII, Shadow Hearts Covenant and Shin Megami Tensei V.

I talk about Ween, my favourite band of all time (except maybe The Minutemen). I review their nine studio albums in chronological order and discuss how their humour, often criticized for detracting from a sense of emotional honesty, actually does the opposite, and enhances the unexpectedly beautiful intimacy of their work.

I talk about how overconsumption of cringe and drama content destroys your brain and how building your personality around constantly passing judgement on others leads you down a path of poor mental health.

I talk about past video games that use large swathes of emptiness in their design and how it contributes to an almost meditative emotional quality that is lacking from current mainstream games whose design philosophy instead emphasizes massive amounts of content. Games mentioned include: The Wind Waker, Dark Souls, Kingdom Hearts, Penn and Teller's Desert Bus, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

I talk about the media subgenre that was termed "The Millennial Parental Apology Fantasy" by Vox writer Emily St. James and how I think Steven Universe may be the most significant progenitor of this trope.

This week, I am joined by Shannon Strucci (@plentyofalcoves) to discuss everyone's favourite goopy, viscerally disgusting genre. That's right, it's Body Horror. From Cronenberg, to Sweet Home, to Silent Hill 2, to the Old Testament, we do a broad survey of the genre's best offerings, while touching upon how formative personal experiences shaped our curiosity about the world of eyeballs in places where they shouldn't be.

On another solo episode, I discuss my existentially-damning sense of purposelessness before I discovered comics, and how even though the industry has a hard time paying artists decent wages, it is a medium that has brought me immense joy and surprisingly, a sense of dignity.
