Have you ever wondered how your favorite Halloween traditions stack up against ours? Join us as we kick off this episode with a hilarious chat about ignoring phone calls and dive into the excitement of fall, a season Karl’s girlfriend is especially fond of for Halloween preparations. We share our own spooky traditions, like horror movie marathons and the iconic Simpsons Treehouse of Horror. Karl gives us the lowdown on the 1986 classic "The Fly," while Richard revisits his childhood through the nostalgic Gundam Seed Freedom movie.
Ever tried juggling a job at a law firm with comic book conventions? We’ve got stories for you! From shredding documents to taking the stand, and even a thrilling visit to Toronto's Fan Expo, we cover it all. We discuss the importance of literary magazines for budding authors and dig into the ethics of museum collections, inspired by a visit to the ROM. And for a sprinkle of fun, we imagine ourselves as an anime-style three-man squad, complete with character tropes and quirky roles.
Anime fans, this one’s for you! We break down character dynamics and squad formations in series like "My Hero Academia," "Naruto," and "Jujutsu Kaisen," analyzing how these elements impact storytelling and audience engagement. We also tackle the effectiveness of three-man squads and the lack of meaningful character bonding in some of our favorite shows. Wrapping things up, we discuss superpowers tied to weather conditions and offer listeners a chance to win unique podcast merchandise. Don't miss out on this blend of horror, anime, and light-hearted banter!
