They also cover the S3 Helluva Boss sneak peek, and mention The Amazing Digital Circus and The Earth Guy. Contains discussion of the European heatwave, queer tropes and your usual...

When Blitzo tries to make an IMP training video with the interns, things sure do happen! Rachael and Ruth wax lyrical about the twelfth short, which is quite possibly the best yet. They also discuss recent Hazbin sexuality disclosures and Tip Toe, Russell T Davies' new thriller. Contains impressions, excitement re: Stolas, and dyslexic solidarity.

In the first of several Pride episodes, Rachael and Ruth discuss Rivals, the smash hit series on Disney+. Is Monica's recent death an example of Bury Your Gays/Dead Lesbian Syndrome? Contains impressions, profanity and indignant Welsh squeaking.

In the fourth episode of Hell's Belles, Rachael covers Verosika Mayday, Blitzo's unlikely popstar ex. Is she a crazy ex girlfriend or woman scorned?

Rachael realises that she didn't cover Miss Information and Fold, Syntax's dastardly agents and her favourite part of the Gameoverse pilot. She puts this egregious oversight right.

Rachael and Ruth review Gameoverse, Glitch's latest pilot. Kit and Kaboodle travel the universe stopping video game heroes from winning, because otherwise their planets will be destroyed. Surely their latest mission will work out, right?! Contains discussion of the controversies, the Barney song, and Rachael mixing up voice actors' names yet again 🤦‍♀️

Rachael and Ruth review Shark Boy Summer, the recent Helluva Boss music video about resident Chad Chaz. They discuss the controversy surrounding its release and various other oddments. Contains animal genitalia (don't ask).

Rachael and Ruth review the anime they've been watching this Spring: hitman romcom MarriageToxin, popular BL Go For It Nakamura-Kun, the My Hero Academia special episode More, and time travelling thriller Erased. Contains brain fog, accidental watch eating, tangents and crampy yoga.

In the third episode of Hell's Belles, Rachael discusses Millie Knolastname, Helluva's leading lady. What makes her awesome, and where will S3 take her? Contains lurgy, profanity, and wondering when the stupid horny owl will show up.

Rachael and Ruth discuss the latest Helluva Boss short, in which a certain shark either comes back from the dead or is mourned by his identical twin. On April Fool's Day. Contains singing, brain fog and practically a Who's Who of the Hellaverse.

In the second Hell's Belles episode, Rachael talks about Via, our troubled Goetia princess. Why has she proved controversial, and what will happen to her next? Contains lurgy, profanity and exasperation with Stellatrons.

Rachael and Ruth discuss the shows they've been watching over the winter: My Hero Academia Vigilantes, Trigun Stargaze, Tamon's B Side and Assassination Classroom. It's been a pretty stacked season! Also includes Helluva Boss news. Contains copious pop culture references, singing, profanity - you know, the usual.

Rachael and Ruth review the latest Helluva short, where IMP have their wackiest target yet! Though one thing they have to ask: who'd want to kill Bigfoot anyway? Or will this be a riddle for the ages? Contains the usual snarking, swearing and news in passing.

In the first of a new miniseries, Not Just Tentacles discusses Helluva Boss' most misunderstood female character, Loona. Contains spoilers (duh), dodgy singing and dyscalculia. You have been warned.

Rachael and Ruth recap Mission: Big Boss, the February 2026 Helluva Boss short. There's also a review of the second episode of Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl. Contains dictionary definitions, British politics and lots of strange Welsh noises.

Rachael and Ruth have mixed feelings about Wicked: For Good, the second film in the musical franchise. Contains pondering, singing, random cartoon references, and how on earth Ruth can fancy Ian Malcolm of all fictional characters.

Rachael and Ruth discuss the anime Rachael's watched over Christmas: the fourth MHA movie and Trigun Stampede, the reboot of beloved classic Trigun. They also review the first episode of queer sci-fi Pluribus and wonderfully trashy series The Hunting Wives. Includes brain fluffs, singing, impressions and various dated pop culture references (they are millennials, after all).

It's been a stellar year for anime and animation, so what better way to recognise achievement than the second Tentacles Awards? Rachael and Ruth honour everything from Best Romance to Unusual Artistic Choice (trust them, it's weird). Includes impressions, singing, brain fog and tangents. You know the score.

In perhaps the longest episode ever, Rachael and Ruth review Fall 2025's anime: SpyxFamily S3, Cat's Eye, This Monster Wants To Eat Me, A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace and the final season of My Hero Academia. Oh, and did you know Not Just Tentacles has been going for 4 years now? Contains tangents, cricks from recording on the floor, discussion of sapphic media and tons of Star Wars refer...

Rachael and Ruth recap the last two episodes of Hazbin Hotel Season 2, Weapon of Mass Distraction and Curtain Call. It's 24 hours until Vox takes over Heaven. Will our heroes be able to stop him? Contains brain fog, tangents and wild speculations. Nothing new there.

Rachael and Ruth recap and review episodes 5 and 6 of Hazbin Hotel Season 2. Vox's cult is growing, and Charlie thinks only she can stop it. Unfortunately this leads to a declaration of holy war ... Contains blanket forts, brain fog, wonky chronological order and appreciation of demon daddy dilfs.
