You Activated My Podcast!

This week, we talk about the adorable and divisive Dragon Pilot! You can watch Dragon Pilot on Netflix.

Also, Tyler talks a lot about the role of gender in the show, and it should be noted that he does so from the perspective of a straight white dude. A well-intentioned straight white dude, but still. For more perspectives on feminism in Dragon Pilot, we recommend checking out this review by Caitlin Moore on Anime Feminist:

This week, in the liminal space between seasons two and three, we talk about the first episode of F-ZERO GP LEGENDS!

It’s the end of season 2 as we know it, and we feel fine!

This week, Jimmy and Tyler recap season 2 of Yu-Gi-Oh!, desperately try to remember all of the relevant plot beats, and wrap things up before we jump into the next season.

Later, Lauren joins us for Tyler’s worst game yet, and helps us finish up the Season 2 Monster Bracket, in which we crown an ULTIMATE CHAMPION!

Welcome to the show! Just a heads up, we spend the first 5 1/2 minutes getting serious and talking about current events. It’s an important conversation, but feel free to skip to minute 6 if you’re not in the right space for that right now.

Then, we get into a surprisingly super good episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!, as season 2 sort of… kind of… maybe… comes to a close? Join us for a discussion of Winged Dragon mechanics, Kaiba family drama, and the triumphant return of Yami Tea.

Later, Lauren joins us for Tyler’s favorite Yu-Gi-Or-Not yet, and we talk about what’s coming next for the podcast!

This week, Marik and Marik face off to see if Marik can make Marik give up being Marik, or if Marik will make Marik give Marik back his Marik! Can Marik Marik Marik, or will Marik Marik Marik Marik? Marik Marik, Marik… Marik?

Later, Lauren joins us for a listener-submitted Yu-Gi-Or-Not, and we cover the last Monster Bracket match-up before the finals!

It’s not our fault— television made us do it!

This week on the show, we spend the first ten minutes talking about cassette tapes and eggs, then ten more minutes on celebrity Duel Monster decks. Eventually, we dig into a lore-heavy episode about why Marik is so gosh-darned evil, by golly.

Later, Lauren joins us for the Yu-Gi-Or-Not that Jimmy’s been dreaming of, and ROUND 1 of the Monster Bracket semi-finals!

This week, everything’s made up and the Life Points don’t matter, because magical BS is here to save the day! Can Jimmy and Tyler decipher the twisted web of fate and figure out how Kaiba STILL doesn’t believe in magic?

Well, no, probably not, but it’s a fun episode anyway!

Later, Lauren joins us for the reclamation of her Yu-Gi-Or-Not throne, and the end of the Monster Bracket quarter-finals!

Hey, how’s everyone doing this week? I hope you weren’t looking forward to an action-packed episode that really moves the plot along, because uh… this ain’t it, fam. But join us anyway as we discuss Kaiba’s dubious security practices, Mokuba’s entirely separate heist movie, and the introduction of our strict new one-boy-per-boy policy!

Later, Lauren joins us for a surprisingly tense Yu-Gi-Or-Not, and we talk about one of the toughest Monster Bracket line-ups yet!

We return after two weeks of quarantine nonsense, and much like what happens to Mai in these episodes, all memory has been erased from our minds! Listen in as we rely on our notes to remind us of what was, admittedly, a pretty good three-parter.

Then, Lauren joins us in the studio for another round of Yu-Gi-Or-Not, and two rounds of the Monster Bracket!

This week, we have a spoiler-free conversation about Tiger King, a brief interlude to sing the praises of healthcare workers, and a lengthy conversation about historical horses.

Oh, and somewhere in there we talk about Yu-Gi-Oh.
