  • BONUS 11 Saki Live Action: The Movie Watchalong: It's Time For Me To Yuri Dap You Up
    Feb 8 2026

    In a world where yuri nap rooms are too bright, where your ghost girlfriend might push you down the stairs at any moment, where your parents dying turns you into a scary doll with too many particle effects, and even catgirls can find redemption... Two podcasters embark on a frantic paced journey to uncover a terrifying secret: Saki in real life. Will they get their Yakuman, or will it all go bust?

  • S3E8 Participating In Certain Subcultures
    Feb 2 2026

    In this episode, a markedly dissociative one, we zoom in on our featured Food and Operator, the red hooded white robed yellow...leafed Sekihan, who will soon not be with us as she ascends to the heavens, and the fantastically flowery fuscia floutist Hibiscus the Purifyer, a normal girl with a very abnormal instrument, and we sing a lyrical question: If you've travelled down the road and back again, can I thank you for being a bean? Then, one right makes two wrongs with Carnelian, Tomahawk Steak, and Dusk, asking: If you're part of a certain subculture, how rude can you be to your fellow, erm, subculture participants?

  • S1E32 Woke Luigi's Mansion
    Jan 19 2026

    In this episode, and don't ask me why it's named that, we zoom in on the maidenly maid who might maintain martial arts mastery Riu Kujou, who's chest is definitely one solid piece that isn't clipped together like a doll, and ask a playful question: Can YOU spot the maid? Can you reach the Maid Unlocked State?
