The Gribshnobler is joined again by Bungle NoClass, Bo-Flex, and Flounder Toehead McGee for commentary and discussion of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode Usagi Yojimbo, part 3 of our 1980s cartoon series. We pay some respect to TMNT writer David Wise, call back to our Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack episode, and share some TMNT music too. Sadly the Contrarian was unable to take part in the main content, but he does show up for the intro so he can tell us a little about the original Usagi Yojimbo comic by Stan Sakai.

The Gribshnobler once saw Batman V Superman with The Great Niccolini and The Great Nicoletta (in her first appearance on The GribCast). He recorded a discussion with them about the film back then, but forget to release it. Well, with Lego Batman in theaters right now he decided it would be as good a time as any to finally bring this special recording to the world. Also included are two wonderful Batman related synthwave tracks by Python Blue and Beckett.

Note: While there is no disturbing content in this episode, it does have an explicit rating due to language.

You can get Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice from Amazon in digital and physical formats.

The Gribshnobler and LadyMsGee discuss the dystopian science fiction novel Parable of the Sower by acclaimed author Octavia E. Butler. We talk about the novel's social commentary, the likelihood of its environmental and political premise occurring in reality, and its commentary on race, class, and gender. We also draw from Gerry Canavan's non-fiction work Modern Masters of Science Fiction: Octavia E. Butler. Included is some dark ambient music by Cold Womb Descent and litmus0001.

Note: While no explicit language is used, much of the novel's subject matter discussed is unsettling in nature.
