Anime Sickos

The world never stops shoving terrible, dumb posts in our faces, so we decided to read some of them out loud. Posts truly are the worst thing on the planet, needless to say I will actively choose to look at as many as possible every day of my life.

After our two-week break, we return to form by whining for an hour. There's a lot of evil and infuriating shit out there! Listen to us get mad at it!!! Complaining kicks ass!!!!

The Sickos watched the movie RRR and are now moving to India. We apply our perfect movie rating system to RRR determining its quality objectively (it's good) and discuss how it is undeniably an anime (one of the season's best, in fact).

The Sickos gush about the little-remembered early 2010s Adult Swim live action comedy Eagleheart. Turns out it's the funniest shit ever. Comedy sucks, but sometimes? Sometimes comedy's extremely good

The Sickos welcome local genius Taylor Moore to the podcast. Taylor discusses the saga of his Kickstarter unionization effort, gushes about the anime classic Paprika, and exposes the Sickos as "business fools." Taylor's a dang delight! Check it out!

The Sickos do another manga roundup of stuff they've been into lately, including Hell's Paradise, Blank Canvas, Kengan Omega (now good again), and Witches. Comics are pretty cool, folks

The Sickos diagnose Corpse Brain, a mental affliction where your brain died a thousand years ago and now is unable to react to stimulus in any way. Every politician and media person has this, along with your mom. Please note we recorded this before Sandy Hook 2 happened and proved this hypothesis even more right.

The Sickos once again discuss that famous goop, "food." We talk about the value of a well-written recipe, how dutch ovens rule, why it's crazy to think you can compare the quality of food in different cities, and many other dumbass food thoughts. This one kinda gets nutty with it

It seems like being into a fandom is just opting in to horrible drama that makes everyone feel bad. The Sickos discuss how they will never join a fandom and thus go to heaven. Then, fandom advocate Whitney Reynolds joins for a rebuttal that proves the Sickos have no fucking clue what they're talking about

Become the coolest guy on Letterboxed by using the Sickos' brand new objectively perfect 19-point checklist that determines a movie's quality with scientific precision. We display our incredible new system by applying it to the movie The Northman--will it pass muster? Listen and see homie

Joe spent a week in "da psych ward" in order to make his brain stop going nuts. The Sickos recount the ordeal which in retrospect had a lot more gags and goofs than you would have expected.

Writer, artist, and generally cool guy Zac Gorman goes guesto mode! We discuss the harrowing emptiness of being an artist, how Chuck E. Cheese's has a weird smell, and why it's so important to make bad dumb art that won't make you any money

It's another grab bag of goofs from the Sickos. We read a big long list of spooky skeletons, put the Fate wiki through Google Translate, and decide the Final Four of the Fruit Annihilation Tournament!

Tom wants to talk about Elden Ring and Inscryption so bad and Joe won't play them in order to prank Tom. The solution? Tom is just going to talk about them anyway.

The Devil is Real and posting is his sword. The Sickos articulate a long-held belief, that the Devil is a real red guy who does all the problems. We discuss how his works wrought the awful Texas trans law and started a war in Ukraine, and how with posting in his arsenal, his works are more powerful than ever. It's not enough to inflict pain and death, we must also see people post stupid fuckin tak...

Writer, performer, actor, and singer Gwynn Fulcher--star of Shuffle Quest and The Tragical History of Modesty City--goes guesto mode! We discuss the unique cog indignities of having to work with literal millionaires, prove that opera is anime, and celebrate games that do not make your brain go nuts and freak out (our favorite) but instead calm you down with cuteness and tranquility.

The Sickos talk about a bunch of video games we've been playing. No big concept or overarching theme, sometimes we need an easy one just for us. We discuss Donkey Kong '94, Castlevania Circle of the Moon, Breath of Fire, Xenogears, and Vampire Survivors. Gaming rules!

The Sickos do the unthinkable: not only do we talk about anime (!!), we talk about two different anime (!!!). We discuss the comically bleak teens-in-mechs anime 86, and the absolutely lovely Ranking of Kings, a show about a little guy who goes around. Turns out some of these cartoons are actually good to watch

Oops! Someone spilled something on the machine that makes sketches down at Sickos HQ and now it won't turn off!! Enjoy 50 minutes of extremely stupid sketches from your favorite boys of online!

Quinn Welsh-Wilson guest runs a one-shot game of the RPG Hard-Wired Island for the Sickos, as they take control of Tooltip and Paste Special, two average cogs working in Shin Sicko City who are about to learn more about this cyberpunk dystopia than they ever wanted to know. This one's silly, folks

The Sickos identify what it is that makes people connect with the show: it's because we're always fuckin complaining and whining, the objectively most fun thing to do, and something those in power really want to make illegal. Then, we return to the fruit tournament to determine the Elite Eight with some truly shocking bouts!

It's back to the zoo as the Sickos recount some of the funniest, stupidest, and confusingest posts ever. Yes, social media is a nightmare, but when you gather all of its gems into a fun little exhibit? Well it's still a nightmare but at least there's a sick thrill that comes with

The Sickos run through a truly awful Twitter thread claiming to contain the 20 best podcast episodes ever. Every single one is 4 hours of business tips by VC freaks and former Navy SEALs. This thread represents a pure distillation of Demon Mindset, the terminal brain disease you get when you start listening to podcasts about work during your free time, an activity that represents the Devil winning...

Professional comics-doer Evan Dahm (Rice Boy, Vattu, Island Book, etc) goes guesto mode! We discuss the transcendent perfection of the Dragonball manga, how playing JRPGs on bootleg Chinese consoles is fun and cool, and what it's like to make a living on art in a world that really seems to not want you to do that. Check it out!

The Sickos finally identify the Western version of anime: Prestige TV. Plus, we get a Kong Dog update, talk about the funniest parts of the 351Elec Discord, and debate whether shoot em ups are fun games to play or cruel punishments it's impossible to enjoy
