We watch the fifth installment in the Jurassic Park cinematic franchise. In this one, our heroes must return to dinosaur island to try to re-classify the dinosaurs as a protected species, but it turns out the corporate upstarts want to really use the dinosaurs for profit and...oh I'm sorry I was reading my Lost World notes. In this one the island blows up.

This week we start a brand new show! But first, Sarah and Joe catch up on our lives. Joe has now watched both Vampire Hunter D movies while Sarah showed her mom Attack on Titan. Then we get into our new show a Sign of Affection! We meet Yuki, a college kid who starts to catch some feelings for the tall and mysterious Itsuomi. Yuki, who is deaf, must put herself out there to get his attention! And...

We’ve done it! Two seasons down, one to go. Join us for the season 2 finale of Chihayafuru! In our real lives, Joe is enrolling in the wrong language classes while Sarah is mourning the end of a notably non-romantic season of Love Island. In Chihayafuru, Mizusawa cleans up the individual tournament, Taichi finally ranks up, and Shinobu takes a rare L. Oh and also we learn that maybe Arata is think...

We're back again, one away from the end of the season. But first, we catch up on the latest news from us. Sarah watched the latest Jurassic Park and it was...uh...a movie. Joe meanwhile has watched two good animated movies: Kpop Demon Hunters and Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society. I can tell you who had the better time. In Chihayafuru, we continue on to the individuals tournament! Chihaya is...

We enter the sequel phase of our Jurassic Park watch through with Jurassic World 2015. Years later, we return to dinosaur island to explore a new park. We got Chris Pratt, a super dino, bizarre subplots, a bunch of product placement, and an old dino friend. Surely nothing will go wrong this time right?

We return to our final team game episodes. But first we catch up on our lives. Joe went to a wedding and Sarah was in a car accident?! In Chihayafuru we start off strong with… a recap episode. But after that we dive right back into the team game finals. Will Chihaya beat this mystery girl? Will Taichu finally have some luck? Will Nishida do anything interesting? Come watch it with us!

We hit the season 2 midpoint! IRL, Joe has finally finished some Gundam and gets to talk about it, while Sarah has warmed up to her puppy, despite the cord chewing. In Chihayafuru, we continue in team play. First we finish our game against Megumu and the all girls school. Chihaya’s game is pretty back and forth, but don’t worry about Tsutomu might clutch it out! Then we move on to the finals and m...

This week we get revenge on the nerds. But first, Joe has finished watching Sakamoto days and Ghost in the Shell SAC 2nd gig and was down on both. Sarah meanwhile is all in on Love Island as her opinion is flipping for some contestants. How spicy! In Chihayafuru, the team squares off against the quiz bowl champs. Then we get some character stuff for our own lovable nerd, Tsutomu. Then we finish up...

We’re back this week after taking a week off from last week. Instead we had our JP3 coverage so I hope you enjoyed that! Irl, Joe was spending time with his dad and Sarah was at a con! In Chihayafuru, we get one, solitary episode where we just hangout with characters and then it’s right back into tournament mode. We play against some international students and then we get some Arata time! Finally!...

We finally reach the end of the original Jurassic Park trilogy with 2001's Jurassic Park 3. We share our thoughts about the differing foliage and dinosaur skins and wonder if they couldn't have made a million more of these movies. But they don't, at least not for like 14 years. Next time we're in reboot territory.

We do team sports today. But first, Joe and Sarah talk about our individual lives and stuff. Lots about giving presentations and public speaking this time. Everyone's FAVORITE thing!! Then in Chihayafuru, we’re back for more tournament action. Taichi is getting targeted hard by the next opponent and then we must contend with Retro’s secret weapon…which the show totally doesn’t forget about, right?...

We get back to the mat this week with Chihayafuru S2. Second season is here! IRL, Joe is playing Kotor II and Sarah had fun times with her coworkers. We start off season 2 with two no characters, ones an icon and the other we both dislike. Can you guess which is which? As for the rest of the characters we pick off basically where they ended last season, Taichi is sad boy, Chihaya is clueless, and...

We say au revoir to revolutionary France this week as we send off the Rose of Versailles with the 2025 movie! But first, we talk about… the omegaverse?? We’re really on one today. Then we watch the movie and it’s, uh, different than the show. More musical, more tearful, more…uh….shallow. Come check it out! Next time it’s back to Chihayafuru.

We’ve done it, we’ve reached the end of The Rose of Versailles, but just the beginning of the French Revolution. It’s been a long and really great series that both of us have enjoyed watching. But like our friends Oscar and Andre, eventually all good things must come to an end. What the future holds is anyone’s guess… Except it’s not a guess for us because next week we are going to dip our toe one...

We're back on our watch through of all the Jurassic Park films. This time, with JP2, a movie that really leans in on Dinosaur chases and only is a little about being a dad. Will this be a bellwether for the rest of the movies? Sarah probably knows!

Here we are, at the penultimate episode of our coverage of the Rose of Versailles. IRL, Joe is knee deep in Star Wars Rebels and books. Meanwhile, Sarah has been dating in Stardew Valley and IRL! In the Rose of Versailles, the Revolution is here! Fighting erupts in Paris and Oscar and Andre must decide what they’re going to do! But first, they have to get together and elope. Finally, after 36 epis...

We close in on the end. In our real lives, Joe has watched the first episode of like four anime series and isn’t that confident in how they’ll turn out. Sarah, meanwhile, continues her quest to watch all of Survivor. In the Rose of Versailles, things are kicking off. Oscar is dying and possibly turning traitor (thank god!) while Andre is trying to keep it together long enough to make it to the end...

This week, we inch our way to the end. But first, we talk about our personal lives. And we…have some trouble remembering what we did. Panic buy thing? Play games? Watch TV? Who can remember…. In the Rose of Versailles, the French Guard is tasked with protecting a Spanish Duke from the wicked Saint-Just. Will they succeed? And then, Oscar and Andre almost are victims of the mob but are saved by Fer...

This week we’re both feeling a bit under the weather. That didn’t stop us from doing stuff like going out till 2:30 am or hosting big meetings. Nope, we still did that stuff. In the Rose of Versailles, everything changes. Oscar’s affection for Fersen boils over and she decides to change careers. This domino knocks down the next as Andre completely loses his cool and freaks out resulting in some od...

This week the Black Knight arrives! But first, Joe and Sarah talk about their lives. Joe has been staying up too late and it’s brutal, while Sarah has been trying to rehouse the dog she found. It’s been a long one ya’ll. In the Rose of Versailles, Fersen is back baby! He returns from France, and he’s totally over Marie. It’s True! And you know who else is over their crush? Oscar. She’s done. Done....

This week the Diamond Necklace Affair! But first we catch up. Joe went to Dallas and drank a lot. Woo hoo! Meanwhile, Sarah has watched Severance. In the Rose of Versailles, Jeanne pulls off her biggest “prank” yet. She scams Rohan into buying an ungodly expensive necklace and then immediately gets caught. Then we all go to trial. It goes bad for pretty much everyone especially Marie Antoinette wh...

High drama this week as we round the half-way point of this show! IRL, Sarah has gone to see the live action Sailor Moon performance, which she definitely remembers that she did! And Joe watched Casablanca for the first time, so we are both sticking to the oldies around here. In the Rose of Versailles we take a dark turn. First, we learn about Charlotte’s cursed fate as her mother marries her off....

This week, we near the series midpoint. In our actual lives, Joe has been watching Hunter x Hunter again and it’s, uh, happening. Sarah is getting into the hunter mindset as the new monster hunter has released. We talk about other stuff too. In the Rose of Versailles, it’s REVENGE TIME! Oh, wait, I’m sorry. Did I say revenge time? I mean, TIME FOR EVERYONE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH OSCAR! Also, everyon...

This week, we're out for revenge! But first, we catch up on what we did this week... we did do something this week right? Oh yeah! Video games. We talk about video games and our disappointment with recent reality tv shows. Maybe if they added another island. That could fix it. In the Rose of Versailles, Oscar learns that the peasant life isn't a good one. Things are deteriorating in the rural land...

We return once more to check in on the new king and queen. But first, we catch up on things. Joe and Sarah have played some video games and we talk about them for a bit. In the Rose of Versailles, we check back in with Jeanne and see how her life is progressing. Meanwhile Rosalie has the worst time. Queen Marie is failing miserably as Fersen goes back home. And Oscar gets into a duel. Pretty uneve...
