The Chicago Bears have a choice to make coming up to the draft: Draft Caleb Williams number one overall and trade Justin Fields or trade that pick away and keep Justin Fields. I don't know what's going to happen and I am, as always, terrified for the implications to the franchise either way. It's the Top Movies of 2023 Taiiku Movies special! Kory ( @taiikumenco ), Chris ( @gokuffy ), and Chris ( @...

As someone living in Los Angeles, I am glad to see the Dodgers embracing evil because then I too can embrace and celebrate that. In this special January episode, Chris ( @antoniuspius ) leads Kory ( @taiikumenco ), Chris ( @gokuffy ), and special guest Dawn ( @bunnycartoon ) through Victor Fleming's 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz, then Chris leads Chris and Kory through Alexandre O. Philippe's Lync...

The White Sox just signed Erick Fedde, who won KBO's equivalent of the Cy Young, the Choi Dong-won award. Which leads me to a curious question of why do not all dominant Korean or Japanese pitchers who win these awards get these contract offers from MLB teams? The answer is probably more politic or contract related, rather than assumed skill. This episode, Kory ( @taiikumenco ) stumbles through le...

It is once again time to bemoan about the Major League Baseball playoffs, in which I guess 1/2 of the teams I wanted to win made it out of the LDS (I was relatively indifferent toward Atlanta-Philadelphia, but also fuck the Braves' branding and chop). Go not the Astros at this point. This episode is the next next part of our horror movie October! Sharon ( @phoenixphire24 ) leads Kory ( @taiikumenc...

The Major League Baseball playoffs continue, and the Atlanta Braves have beaten the Philadelphia Phillies on Indigenous People's Day. Not acceptable. 1-14 (I do like everyone on the Braves and want them to win to see more of them play, but if they just dropped every single aspect of the branding, I would be absolutely fine with that.) This episode is the next next part of our horror movie October!...

The Major League Baseball playoffs are still going on, and teams I would have preferred to win have gone 1-13 over the entire postseason, and the one win is really "well I hate the Astros more, so." And everyone is asking, did the bye for the best teams have a negative effect on them? And the answer is no , the playoffs are just chaos. This episode is the next part of our horror movie October! Chr...

It's the Major League Baseball playoffs! Mercifully, MLB let the White Sox stop playing three games early, so that just goes down as an automatic sweep by the Padres. And the Mariners kept it interesting for two games before dying in game three behind a poor Luis Castillo performance at an inopportune time, then Jerry Dipoto said "we have a long term plan to win 54 percent of our games over a 10 y...

The Chicago White Sox are a garbage organization that does not deserve your, or importantly for the no one that reads these intros, my time.

This week in White Sox news was bad , and it may get worse from a front office perspective depending on which or if some of the rumors are true. They're creating new reasons to just kill any fan enthusiasm they gained in 2020 and 2021. This episode, Kory ( @taiikumenco ) leads Chris ( @gokuffy ) and Chris ( @antoniuspius ) through an underrated Bong Joonho movie in his 2009 film Mother. Join the u...

The Chicago White Sox have won the season series against the Cleveland Guardians, and I think that just means the Guardians do not deserve to be in the playoffs. Also something happened between Tim Anderson and José Ramírez. This episode, Kory ( @taiikumenco ) leads Chris ( @gokuffy ) and Chris ( @antoniuspius ) back to Korea and through Bong Joonho's filmography, this time with the famous kidnapp...

The Baltimore Orioles are an extremely fun team to watch, and they should trade the White Sox for Lucas Giolito and Dylan Cease and be even better imo. This episode, Chris ( @antoniuspious ) gathers Chris ( @gokuffy ) and Kory ( @taiikumenco ) yet again to talk about the beauty of French cinema, but this time in the U.S.!

I'm not sure about any of the sports teams I like. It's a weird life I live, sports wise.
