In a shocking turn of events we barely discuss Japan and don't even mention anime!.. I think, don't quote me... We do however talk about K-Pop stars and Korea.... baby steps people, baby steps. This week we really focus in on the expectations of society, from "image", to tattoos, to gender expression and representation (albeit with a small detour to gush over Michelle Rodriguez, who may, in fact, be the perfect woman). Opinions will be given, facts will be checked and ultimately one conclusion will be reached; Let people live how they want to.

Trigger Warning: mentions of suicide and domestic violence.
Come with us on a journey through Japan, grocery stores, work places and Space (Jam) to fight c*nts who are, in fact, not bigger than us. In a surprising turn of events Jaq and Andy don't get too distracted this week due to the magical topic combination of Japan and fighting people. I swear we are not violent.

Episode 11: Thoughts on Underrated Anime, Fashion Choices and... Woody Allen?
Thursday Jul 13, 2023

This episode Jaq and Andy finally stick to a topic for longer than 2 minutes but only because that topic is Skip Beat, an under-appreciated manga that spans so many volumes that you can wildly jump from topic to topic without leaving the borders of it's pages. Once they do break free however it's, op shops, fashion choices and far too much, un-fact checked dissatisfaction with the fact that Woody Allen exists.

Not to be outdone by our previous meandering, this week we get completely lost in tedious minutiae. Luckily for you we cut out the worst of it. You're welcome. However if you have a soft spot for 80s and 90s cartoons you may be swept along in our nostalgic fascinations. If not, the local house gecko gets quite a few words if that's to your interest. Probably not but... maybe. It takes all sorts.
We also talk about anime and Japan again, if you were wondering.

Episode 9: Thoughts on Salad and Thing That Aren’t Salad

In this episode Jaq and Andy do not talk about salad the entire time, but the topic is definitely given more time than it really deserves. Jaq and Andy sincerely apologise for this. Otherwise the conversation begins with anime and with record speed moves to friendship, fitness, good burgers and bad burgers, body shaming, pumpkin curry, eating.... honestly this was one of our most focused episodes yet. So...let's just take it as win.

In an unsurprising turn of events, when allowing ourselves to talk about what we usually divert to... we diverted immediately away from it. Not all went to the not-plan however, because we kept forgetting things. Sam, Jake Ryan and neurological pathways to name a few things. We didn't forget to talk about clothes and fashion though for some reason... it was an odd kind of day... mind you we also talk about well-muscled fan service, so not that odd really.

This episode Jack and Andy travel.... not very far due to unforeseen divergences. In our attempt to discuss travel, because we frequently divert to it, we have, naturally, diverted almost immediately away from it. Instead we stood in the driveway chatting about how much work is too much work, is too much alcohol the problem and why do we keep getting too much of one story...Oh well, may's well just go back inside and try again another day.

Episode 6: Thoughts on manga, anime, looking like anime and acting like manga

This week we're dropping the pre-tense and just talking about Japanese 2D media (watch this space for an episode entirely dedicated to travelling in Japan). We do of course deviate away from anime and manga... and deviate back again. But in between we discuss, make-up, tiktok, age perception and other highly vital and important topics... yeah no, not really.
