April 19, 2023 Episode 4 - Domestic Girlfriend: Or that time the dice gods punished us for our hubris with trash
For Episode 4, a bit of a twist on the normal episode format, where all three hosts nominated 5 shows each that none of Dan, Marcus or Nick had seen, along with 5 shows that are expected to be trash that none of the hosts have seen. Then, a D20 was rolled, and the result was, somehow, the crown jewel of expected trash in Domestic Girlfriend. Will any of our hosts even find the show enjoyable? Does it have any redeeming qualities? Is it actually peak trash? Find out in this over hour long breakdown of the show.

April 12, 2023 Episode 3 - School-Live!: Or, that time Dan tried to pull a fast one over Marcus and Nick for maximum confusion and impact.
For Episode 3, Dan employs a little bit of misdirection and skullduggery in assigning a show that is totally about cute girls doing cute things. Will these two be fooled and get sucked in by the mystery and tension? Or, will this taste of the first half of School-Live! be all they can stomach?

April 05, 2023 Episode 2 - Megalo Box: Or that time Marcus made us watch a character drama disguised as a sports anime with only occasional face punches
For episode 2, Marcus makes Dan and Nick watch a full season of a show where people strap machinery to their backs for enhanced punches, but the real focus is the emotional baggage people strap to their backs. Will these weebs think Megalo Box is a knockout, or is it flat on the mat and down for the count?
