We take a look at the end of 86 Part 1 and the beginning of 86 Part 2 on the podcast this week. Both parts came out in 2021 and are basically the same season, but, you know how weird TV anime is. It feels like not much happens in this three eps, but they hint at more to come? Will we actually finish this show? Join our Discord server below and VOTE. We also talk about saucy sandwiches, Dido songs, The Shawshank Redemption, Blue Prince, and Full Metal Panic. |

[Be advised: dark topics are covered on this week's episode]

On JJBPod, we have three goals: to entertain, inform, and amuse. They are but impossible ideals. This week we continue with the 2021 anime 86, covering episodes 4-6, where things get DARK. We also talk about what makes an anime "old," the saddest songs, Psycho Frame, when to use callsigns, The Cosby Show, and Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. |

[Skip to 15:57 for actual movie talk]

We ended up pranking ourselves on this week's pod; we saw a bad movie and talked about it in-person: Ghost in the Shell (the one from 2017). We also talk about "whitewashing" controversies, how glitches work, Marriage Story, better attempts at sci-fi remakes, and thinking up cool lines. |

We conclude our coverage of Orb: On the Movements of the Earth by covering episodes 13, 14, and 15 this week. That's not the end of the season, but we gave the show a fair shake and feel that it's a good time to move on. We hope you can respect our privacy in this trying time. We also talk about waffle parties, the ethics of torture, kumite, and The Jim Carroll Band. |
