  • Bruce Lee meets Mad Max

    My history major buddy Patrick joins me! We talk about a legendary anime called Fist of the North Star and it's lasting effects on anime today. Basically imagine if Bruce Lee was trained in an assassination art of exploding people while wandering the desert.

  • AI is Shit-Ass, Relax
    On this episode I'm joined by Maddie a good friend of mine. They work with a company that uses AI and were willing to come on and answer some burning questions we all have about it. They don't like Tears of the Kingdom but greatly do love Kirby and King Boo. There was a lot of distracting traffic going on at the time, please forgive that.

  • Queer Combat, Way of the Plushies
    Anna Confer is a friend of mine, one who intersects a few different areas of my life in a similar way: being a person of color, queer, and a martial artist. She is a wonderful friend with an analytic mind and fucking loves plushies. We talk about our experiences in martial arts and the trials that come for people like us. She also fucking loves plushies like a LOT.

  • The Utopia of Star Trek
    I really feel the world is drowning in cynicism, and that the "good ol days are gone" mentality has reigned quite heavily lately. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot going on that is not helping speak against that sentiment. However I really feel here is where fiction and such should step in, at least partially, as a goal to reach for. Specifically a utopia we can reach for. My good friend Sidney stops by again, and we talk about how the best example of a utopia came from Star Trek the Next Generation.
    The genesis of this podcast also came from a very goofy setup of Michael Dorn performing some athletics in the first season--the 80s were a wild time 😂.
    Put this on when you are relaxing because we throw the clock out the fucking window on this one lol.

  • The Last Daddy

    This episode I bring back a friend Andrew Diaz. Here we talk about The Last of Us live action adaptation and how he convinced me to watch it! Major Spoilers warning for the video game series and tv show. We talk about strengths and weaknesses and our thoughts overall. I'm so glad he convinced me to watch it! As I mention in the beginning we both had things come up mid recording but that actually worked in our favor because we got to see the last episode and splice the recordings together. Daddy is a state of mind.

  • Lunch at Hogwarts (K-Byte)

    Just a short audio clip on my thoughts from the past few months and such concerning the Hogwarts Legacy game and representation in a bigger sense for what it means for me. I get vulnerable on this one, it re-recorded it a few times. Lmk what you think.
