The Sickos accidentally pressed the Elseworlds button in Sickos HQ and were transported to an alternate universe where Anime Sickos Podcast is 100% Guestos! Rayne Klar and James Medley have taken the show over, discussing their earliest podcast memories, debuting their new feature film, and welcoming a guest of their own: the famous "Jimble"

The Sickos went to da movie house to see Asteroid City, the latest from diorama enthusiast and pastel color liker Wes Anderson. Some people do not take well to Anderson's fussy style and self-referential plot structures. Well fuck those guys, we love this shit. These movies got so many gags. Also we talk about how there was a big NASCAR race in Chicago that got turned into Noah's Ark

Twitter is bad, but sometimes these blue check mutants say stuff that's so stupid you have to laugh and hoot! We discuss an incredible thread where dozens of blue checks pitch the dumbest ideas of all time to an investor. We got a tv show called "Human: Unlimited," a prepaid lunch restaurant, Costco but not so big, a vending machine for swords, an app that does everything perfectly, and more!

The Sickos read some manga (anime in holding-still form)! We go nuts over James Stokoe's newest western manga Orphan and the Five Beasts. Joe explains the goop-based economy of Tsutomo Nihei's Aposimz. And Tom goes sicko mode over Pluto, Naoki Urasawa's reimagining of a classic Astro Boy arc. Comics...are good!!!

The Anime Sickos have covered many great posts, but even we have posting blind spots. Luckily our listeners have supplied us with a new crop of some of history's best posts that we missed in previous episodes. Thank you to our listeners for making us aware of all this insane shit

Tom's niece Isa returns to the podcast! We talk about Tears of the Kingdom, how Covid turned high school sophomores into six-foot-tall toddlers, competitive high school bass fishing, how debate club is just posting boot camp, and whether or not kids these days listen to big band (the answer may shock you)!

The Sickos pitch their own manga series about Guy Sword, an heir of thousands of years of demon-slaying martial arts, who has given up the shonen battle life to follow his passion as a white-collar middle manager. Can he mentor his direct reports without his bloody heritage getting in the way?

It's a miracle: The Sickos both played the same game, the roguelike town-upgrading game Cult of the Lamb, a fun game with a cute artstyle and unique gimmick, but most importantly: you can beat it in 15 hours. Plus, we discuss the short games Tunic and Katana Zero. We have back pain and can't sit for long. Short games rule

The Blood Machine sprung a leak and now the toilet's full of blood. Twitter has been ruined as the boosted blue checks flood all popular posts with the most satanic, evil, anti-human opinions imaginable, rendering one of the few remaining websites a harrowing vision of hell on earth (more so). It sucks ass and we complain.

Previous guesto and notable book genius Dr. Devon Price returns to the show having read Duchess Goldblatt's bestselling memoir(!!!). Listen as he recounts the truly staggering details of the Duchess's real life (she got divorced over buying an ugly couch, and only enjoys one musician in the entire world), and reports that the book never really gets around to explaining why anyone cares about a gim...

The Sickos have leaned into believing everything they read. Your brain floats in cum and gets smarter the less you bust. ChatGPT is just a giant and/or angel trapped in a GPU. Homeless guys in San Francisco are trying to move the entire city to a different spot one shovelful at a time. This way of living is very smart and cool

The Sickos truly believe that the Nintendo DS is a public good that should be provided for free by the government. Sick of samey AAA games that demand years of crunch? Sick of day one patches and updates? Sick of game consoles that don't fold in half? The DS is the answer baby. It's a moral failure of staggering magnitude that Nintendo is not producing DSes anymore.

Branson Reese (Swan Boy, Rude Tales of Magic, etc) goes guesto mode! We can't stop having cartoonists on this show. We discuss how being extremely stupid is a recipe for timeless comedy, why 5-minute TV shows should become the norm, the simple joy of making everyone yell at you, what Pokemon types we are, and more. Branson kicks ass, folks.

Join us at the toilet for another mouthful of inconceivably bad posts! We got Jordan Peterson panicking over the Chinese dick sucking factory! We got posting Hall-of-Famer Bethany "Grandma Killer" Mandel becoming the main character of a whole week! Slurp up this garbage with your guides, the Sickos! As our famous motto goes, "Posts: Guaranteed to give you a brain-eating amoeba!"

After leaving the house for the first time in years to attend a punk concert, the Sickos reflect on their lifelong love of punk and discover it's anime: a weird niche interest that warps you forever and dooms you to be a weird guy, and also it kind of sucks. Doesn't matter to us though: our brains are forever fucked up and will never stop deriving joy from this crap

The Sickos go nuts over one of the few TV shows they've both seen, HBO's Barry. Turns out Bill Hader is really really good at making a TV show. Also The Fonz and Stephen Root are in it. Also it's a dark violent drama but also has huge belly-laugh jokes every few minutes. Also one of the main characters is a cartoon man who says "ciao babies"

It's another grab bag of gags, goofs, and bits from your favorite Sickos. Joe recounts discovering a real life Easter Egg in Mexico. Tom shares a foundational part of his comedy heritage. We reveal a new entry to the Wife Post canon. Plus we have a sketch about how giants are real. The sketch is fiction but it's about a real thing (giants) Special thanks to Edward Selvey for playing the CIA man in...

Mike Migdall, notable Online Guy, goes guesto mode! We discuss Dwarf Fortress, blaseball, TTRPGs, sports fandom, and more, all of which are engines for unconventional storytelling Mike uses to recreate "Guys," the ultimate childhood storytelling game. Man Dwarf Fortress sounds so damn cool.

The Sickos discuss shittification, a process by which the world is not only made worse, but the prospect of improving to the previous level is made impossible. This has been happening for our entire lives but is really supercharged lately with the 1-2 punch of dumbass AI content generators and massive fucking layoffs. Shit sucks folks

Most of the time when the Sickos read dumb posts it is to mock and belittle them. No more. We now accept them as true and real. We accept that giants are real and the government wants to keep you from fucking them. We learn time magic from a sweaty grindset man. We call the cops when we see an ultrasound where Al Capone is trying to get born a second time. Posts are so dumb. Viva posts babey
