251: Joe Kassabian Goes Guesto Mode
Anime Sickos
Joe Kassabian, host of the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast and author of the upcoming fantasy novel The Highlands Burn, goes guesto mode! Joe is one of the few guests who is on our level regarding JRPGs, the insane game genre that sucks. Plus, we discuss how to be into military history without being a scary guy, and the dreaded "writing process" you need to do to write a dang book. This one is a slam dunk in our opinion, check it out!

248: The Slay the Spire 2 Episode
Anime Sickos
Smart podcasters doing an episode about a popular new video game would ensure their discussion is broad and accessible to the larger listening audience. Well the Anime Sickos are fucking stupid, so our discussion of the roguelike deckbuilder is intensely specific as we discuss the design intricacies of this incredible game. If you are a gamer, first: I'm sorry. Second: You must play Slay the Spire 2

247: The Devil is Still Real
Anime Sickos
The Devil is still real and he's more present than ever! Folks, the horrors are innumerable as the evil country "America" has begun a pointless campaign of death that will only make the world worse. The Sickos discuss and complain about the indignity of living in a world that is so much stupider and crueler than it needs to be. The reason is the Devil is making shit worse. Thanks to Max Kreisky and Patrick Cosmos for being in our great cold open sketch!

246: The Sickos Read Some Funny Posts
Anime Sickos
I never thought it would happen again: it's a posting episode. The Sickos go nuts over an instant classic thread about a bus driver gone rogue, share the best Steam update of all time (and possibly a reverse wife post?), discover "the Epstein Files of your generation," and learn about the Leviathan, a type of MALE creature that some allege can kick Godzilla's ass. It was not easy to find enough posts that actually are fun to read, but we did it! Thanks to Jacob Dallas for playing James Cameron in the cold open sketch!

245: You Live Here Too
Anime Sickos
For a while we have struggled to come up with anything to add about All The Horrors: after all, you live here too! That's when it hit us: that's the point. You live here too! We dive into this deep truth, how it exposes the evil in the hearts of ICE, the foolishness of awful elected Dems, and the beautiful solidarity among those attacked by the fascists. You live here too!!

243: The Sickos x Kame House Party Talk Dragonball Daima
Anime Sickos
Aaron and Vince from Kame House Party join the Sickos to talk about Dragonball Daima, a new Dragonball anime we somehow barely heard about. Turns out it's great! A little cartoon devil from Halloween turns all the Dragonball characters into muppet babies so they can sell more anime figures. There's a hollow earth where robot bugs make you do puzzles. It's great.

242: The Chair Company Episode
Anime Sickos
The Sickos go absolutely nuts over our favorite guy Tim Robinson and his unbelievable new comedy/thriller show The Chair Company. To watch this show is like watching a master martial artist transcend his physical limits and learn how to shoot energy beams. Students of comedy must understand what he is doing here...this is an all-time talent at work
