[Skip to 23:03 for Lazarus talk. Also, Myles' side of his recording cuts out partway through the episode, apologies for the Discord call quality on this episode]

It's time to talk about the heavily-anticipated Watanabe show, Lazarus. Is it style over substance? Worth the hype? Find out, maybe, on this episode of the podcast. We also talk about TV shows that fall off, B.F. Skinner, the significance of dreidels, and large numbers. |

We pivot to a more blatantly-on-theme show for Pride month on this episode of the podcast: we watched three episodes ofYuri Kuma Arashi, from one of the creators of Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's confusing! We also talk about jukebox musicals, Pappyland, and David Lynch.

Complex, stylistic, sad, and not very gay: these words may describe many things, but they are also how we feel about Paradise Kiss after six episodes. On this episode of the podcast we cover episodes 4-6 of the show and decide we need to move on to something else before Pride '25 is through. We also talk about cold seaside towns, music we'll always love, school admittance tests, smizing, and the city of Chicago. |

We also talk about stupid kid arguments, Genesis, Hook, UK slang, Terrace House, and essay manga. |
