Last Week’s Episode: Anime Dubs are a Flat Circle
I know this isn’t a music column but the only two thing s I want to listen to for the rest of the week are Swedish folk music and Cruel Angel’s Thesis, so this column is dedicated to Ari Aster’s Midsommar and Netflix’s incredible ability to resurrect arguments I only hazily remember from anime forums of…
Last Week’s Episode: Play Synth Bagpipes For His Perp Walk
It’s Wednesday, which means you’re in the homestretch of the week. I’ve got plenty of trailers, premiere dates, and gay ponies!
Analyzing the Snapture – Where Did The Mets Go?

I don’t know how to feel about Black Widow.
Last Week’s Episode: Chris on Chris
Despite several reviews insisting otherwise, I’m spending this week incredibly annoyed that Netflix original, The Perfection, was a huge mess which needed a CVS receipt worth of trigger warnings appended to its summary.
