        On today’s episode, Angel and Kevin descend into madness with fighting game woes and a 24-hour livestream respectively, Jason tries to get some chuckles with Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga and An American Pickle, and we discuss the new Mulan movie. But really, we are all going a little crazy.

            • Quarantine Chronicles: Episode 8

              Honestly, after today’s first topic, we’re not sure if RNHQ will let us do another one of these, but we’re gonna keep on trucking and we’re gonna keep fighting for your right to listen to what is Quarantine Chronicles.

              On today’s (rather degenerate) episode, Angel brings up the most degenerate anime we’ve heard of, plus a cool one as a palate cleanser, and laments the death of Kissanime. Jason talks about Mike Shinoda’s venture into Twitch Land, while Kevin muses on about Polygon’s Unraveled series and discusses with Jason about what is most likely going to be a very divisive Killers album.

Then it’s business as usual as we talk about all the content we’ve devoured these last couple of weeks, along with the requisite banter you all know and love. You do love it, right?

                    On today’s episode, Kevin discovers the wonder of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and TV intros, Jason ponders the future of subscription services, and Angel wants to love Teppen and tries to explain The Patriot to us (with an emphasis on tries).

                              • Quarantine Chronicles: Episode 5

                                WE’RE BACK! Okay, well we technically never left and RNHQ won’t let us out of our contract, so we’re here to stay… against our will. But you know what, listener? It benefits you because now you get episode five of Quarantine Chronicles. That’s the sacrifice we’re making for you!

                                On today’s episode, we have a miserable time with our tech, spend some time with the vampires from What We Do In The Shadows, get Close Enough with the new tv show from Regular Show’s creator, roll up to a drive in theater to get to Palm Springs, try to give Hamilton its due, and finally get down to the bottom of The Last of Us Part II. Whew. This one’s a doozy, ladies and germs.
