Spoilers:

Tunic: 34:14 - 35:04

Happy all the holidays! An excellent array of albums to start the new year!

Juno Reactor - Gods and Monsters

Delta Sleep - Spring Island

Dan Deacon - Gliss Riffer

Kid Francescoli - With Julia

Also this time:

Jason has a new profession. Tea review podcast part 2. Tiny baby is terrified of Lamborghini. Jason made beer and Steven has never heard of it. Spirit Island is hard AF. The Gundam marathon begins. Dan Da Dan is amazing. Jason rewatched Legend of the Galactic Heroes (and it is just the best). More best anime of all time discussion (spoiler alert: it isn't Frieren, MyAnimeList). Steven disses Spice and Wolf for no reason. The One Piece live action is actually legit amazing (myth confirmed). Jason watched the correct 3 Body Problem. Steven and Jason are old and bad at videogames now (Sparkling Zero and 40k Battlesector). Tunic is amazing and everyone should play it. Noita is intimidating. Baltro is a mind virus.

Jason made some music and again forget to say the titles:

Some ear terrorism next time and also a coveted Steven mixtape!

Five Star Hotel - Gray Data

Cobalt - Slow Forever

Spoilers:

Vampire: The Masquerade: 18:22 - 18:50

Space Marine 2: 25:30 - 25:48

Discworld: Pyramids: 36:00 - 36:42

Good Omens: 37:40 - 37:43

A Christmas episode on Christmas? What is this, my birthday?

Completely guiltless pleasure albums. One album possibly brought to you by the (now defunct) Pictures for Sad Children comic:

Black Bonzo - Lady of the Light

Mew - a triumph for man

Minus the Bear - Highly Refined Pirates

3 - Half Life

Also this time:

Jason double dips Thanksgiving. Ratatouille is beautiful but also only kinda ok.

Renaissance Faire Medieval Star Fox.

Babies make you carve pumpkins.

Scream is 90% Scary Movie (or vice versa?). The older brother video game experience (KOTOR and Final Fantasy Tactics). Vampire: The Masquerade and Steven doesn't understand humanity. Last Bastion is a great co-op boardgame. Vampire Survivors is a great couch co-op videogame. Loop Hero is a great power fantasy game. Jason sucks at Space Marine 2. Citizen Sleeper helps with the Disco Elysium withdrawals. Welcome to the NHK is one of the best animes of all time. Spice and Wolf 2: Electric Boogaloo. The Irresponsible Captain Tylor is the best Legend of the Galactic Heroes (LoGH) parody. Daily Life of the Immortal King is gorgeous and terribly translated. Jason has the Discworld bug.

Spoilers:

Elden Ring DLC: 15:53 - 20:07

In this episode, some tastefully chaotic music, some analog horror, and some hot prog rock takes:

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

Slowdive - Souvlaki

The Dear Hunter - Act 1: The Lake South, The River North

femtanyl - CHASER

Also in this episode:

Steven watches the Dollars trilogy and the Universe gives him theme music. Pluto is a giant amazing anime movie masterpiece. Jason still hasn't watched Shogun. Kaos is fun (and also cancelled now I guess?). Death Grips is an angry chihuahua that gives Jason a revelation about his music tastes. Elden Ring DLC is huge and hard (hah!). Jobless Reincarnation is toned down a lot now (but still kinda gross). MyAnimeList lied on Revenger! It did not lie on Metallic Rouge. Kaiju no 8 is amazing (and also is Attack on Titan 2: Electric Boogaloo). Black Butler is a mess of a show but also excellent. Jason is addicted to Discworld now

Spoilers:

Elden Ring DLC: 0:25 - 3:55, 7:10 - 9:18

Delicious In Dungeon: 19:20 - 19:30

This episode, unexpected twists and turns abound regarding our music tastes! What will we like, what will we hate!? Also a man does damage to his voice for art:

the pillows - Runners High

Death Grips - Exmilitary

Chinese Football - Chinese Football

Dance Gavin Dance - Mothership

Also in this episode:

Elden Ring DLC is great, is a bit BS, and is very big. Raging Bull is a movie that happens. Alienoid is time travel alien shenanigans. Delicious in Dungeon is Dark Souls plus food anime. Pluto is a gritty Astro Boy reboot. Steven's casual choices accidentally create a Discworld Machete Order. Irregular at the Magic High School is gross. But its also really cool.

Also in this episode:

Neck injuries. Fallout is the best video game show ever? Invincible is still amazing. Solo Leveling was something I guess. So much Gundam; Iron Blooded Orphans is amazing. 100% Bypass Method. Perfect Dark and unrealistic expectations. A24 makes all the good movies now. Disney+ is required for a baby.

Screams are the best samples (Jason made more music):

SHRVL - Limbus

Apashe - Renaissance

Also in this episode:

Magic cards on Amazone. Fake books don't count. ONE is too OP. Frieren is amazing. Barbenheimer was the opposite of what we expected. Nileblue and Technology Connections do the Manhattan Project. Jobless Reincarnation is...conflicting. Studio Trigger is too OP. Blue Eye Samurai is great, Three Body Problem might be great? Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is actually coming. Jason made new music which you can listen to below and Chroma is super cool!

Cyber City Oedo 808: 59:00 to the end

In this episode we discuss the 1990 anime Cyber City Oedo 808 and go waaaaay off topic a lot...

Speaking of off topic:

Steven finally watches Fruits Basket (or at least part of it) in a completely meaningless victory for Jason. He also remembers he actually watched Carnival Row (or at least part of it). Modded Skyrim is craziness. Elfin Lied is an anime that exists (and boy does it). Black Lagoon is amazing and so was the D&D movie. Nagel Women and Sandman. More Big Mac news. And Armored Core 6!

Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye: 19:37 - 22:20

We start this episode talking about food and I think subconsciously prime ourselves to make food analogies the rest of the episode. Steven still likes Cyberpunk 2077, I discover the joys of NG+ in Elden Ring and scare myself to death in the Outer Wilds DLC. Also the usual anime talk and I made a couple new songs:

Albums for this episode are here:
