Podcast – B3 – The Boston Bastard Brigade |

There's only one week left in the lifespan of Boston Bastard Brigade, and our boys aim to go out swinging. King Baby Duck welcomes back Blueonic to the fold, as they reflect back on what B3 accomplished throughout the years. From origin stories to the highs and lows of B3's golden times, the guys look fondly back at every highlight with glee. But that's not all that's on the agenda, as KBD talks about seeing Stance Punks perform their 2006 classic album Bubblegum Viking. AFLM and JonStar experience Hanabie and Nekrogoblikon at Big Night Live Boston. And yes, we find a way to talk about horse girls again, even when it's not planned.

The time of Boston Bastard Brigade is clocking closer to the end, so King Baby Duck gets things ready for the next phase with the release of his new website! AFLM has a run-in with a furry blue monster, and life as a foreigner in Japan is done right in Rental Family. The boys are all on opposite sides when it comes to the movie Uma Musume: Beginning of a New Era, and the shutting down of Highguard showcases the fatal flaws of the AAA-gaming industry. Lastly, KBD and JonStar play a plethora of demos in this season's Steam NextFest, and not all of them were corn-based!

With only a couple more episodes of Duck Amuck in Japan left before B3 ends, King Baby Duck wonders if his intro needs a bit of updating. Thankfully, AFLM and JonStar have a couple of ideas that could work when April comes around. When our host sees that HBO's Euphoria would be getting a new season, he wonders if its spinoff will be adapted next. The boys get their named Wu-Tang'd, and KBD experiences a special Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray exhibition.

Then the boys see why REANIMAL is the real Little Nightmares III, and the cursed anime Popee the Performer makes a surprising return via a new collaboration. But the best is saved for last, as a new edition of "Defend Your Ten" has KBD, AFLM, and JonStar listing their top ten anime waifus, with some unexpected choices.

The Winter Olympics are happening, and only JonStar seems to be excited about it. And how can you blame the others, especially after Japan got screwed over the 2020 games! But a more terrifying thing has invaded King Baby Duck's classroom, and it leads JonStar and AFLM to wonder where this dreaded thing originated from. Thankfully, they move on to some special events, where one pole dancing concert gave KBD an eyeful that made him wish for blindness. However, if he has no eyesight, then he wouldn't have experienced the new Ghost in the Shell exhibition at Tokyo Node!

Then, the guys talk about why Adobe sucks, why akaikurage's new album Donare!! rules, and then a trip to the cinema with reviews of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, The Toxic Avenger, The Running Man, and Heavier Trip. Lastly, the boys raise the curtain with their thoughts on the new Muppet Show, and who they hope to see on it if it gets a full series!

It's the first Duck Amuck in Japan of 2026, and the guys got lots of anime on their mind. But first, they give a shoutout to a fellow podcast show that had a familiar guest on it. King Baby Duck unleashing a surprise Quack Quiz on AFLM and JonStar, and they look at the Year of the Horse in an appropriate fashion. KBD celebrates his 41st birthday at a gyaru bar, and attends recent shows from Ayumi Hamasaki and Babymetal. But JonStar finds himself excited over the new Protomen album, a record that's been over 15 years in the making!

However, it's all about Winter 2026 anime, with returning favorites and some new rom-coms! Invisible men? Demon lord daughters? Evil spirits? Adventurers galore? It's a very big stack of anime to go through!

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and there's no sign of tryptophan overdose here in Duck Amuck in Japan. With the Christmas season now officially begun, King Baby Duck plays the very first holiday song to truly get in the festive season. We head into dark country town with Orville Peck's new EP Appaloosa, as the guys find many reasons why the masked singer is the best in the genre! The Game Awards have some nominees that have our hosts scratching their heads, as they outright skip some categories because of how baffling the choices are!

However, the big thing in this week's Duck Amuck in Japan is a brand-new segment: Defend Your 10! With Variety releasing their Top Comedy Movies of All-Time list, KBD, AFLM, and JonStar decide to share their own lists! And you may be surprised by their reveals...

Even audio difficulties can't stop KBD, AFLM, and JonStar from delivering a fun Duck Amuck in Japan! First, a shoutout to Top Secret Man is delivered thanks to their latest musical achievement! But then, two new segments arrive: "Ass-Biting Words" and a TIMM edition of "J-POP Round-Up"! Rise of the Northstar drops a new album, and a bunch of Tatsuki Fujimoto short stories are given the anime treatment!

Speaking of anime, it's finally time for the Fall 2025 Anime first impressions! However, after going through the returning shows and the Western cartoons, the boys come to a realization about this season's line-up. And needless to say, it's not good.

The Duck Amuck in Japan crew are recovering from Halloween, but King Baby Duck has a little more energy left in him to do one more trick: a round of "What's in the Box?!" It leads to a plethora of horror films the boys watched, ranging from classics like Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein to modern hits like Weapons and Bring Her Back. But horror movies aren't fun without pizza, and KBD finds a great spot in Shibuya!

A talk about Kagurabachi at Burger King leads to a strange transition about his trip to Tokyo DisneySea, and AFLM goes Steelbound with the latest album from Battle Beast! Lastly, JonStar plays a ton of demos from this season's Steam NextFest, which features a smorgasbord of puzzlers, horror games, and a gooner or two!

At long last, the boys hit the live-streaming world! King Baby Duck, AFLM, and JonStar finally start doing their show as a live Twitch stream. For those unfamiliar with the podcast, the manly men who love cute things start things off with a PowerPoint introduction! Then it's on with the show, as KBD talks about this year's toitoitoi Fes, and Sabaton unleashes Legends upon the world! AFLM talks about this month's Wicked Comic Con, and the guys pay tribute to the late game creator Tomonobu Itagaki.

Then, in the spirit of Halloween, KBD and JonStar share their thoughts on the demo for Junji Ito: Maniac - An Infinite Gaol. Last, but not least, it's game trailer time with some possible hits (and misses) from this year's Tokyo Game Show. Lo-fi visual novels, cultured anime girls, and Train Autism to last us for weeks!
