After 3 long months, we're back with another special episode. This time we're talking about KPop group Dreamcatcher! Corey goes down a deep dark video rabbit hole, Bria has an urgent date with a pizza, and both of them discuss the intricacies of One Piece. FEVER SHEEP! FEVER SHEEP!
We take a look at season 2 of the live action version of Kakegurui. Corey forgets the fundamentals of playing cards, Bria tries to get her new business venture off the ground, and both of them simultaneously forget about the Amish. STAGIE!
SPOILER WARNING FOR PARASITE!! We cover our first movie AND our first Korean content. Not many goofs to reference here in this summary, we both just get real sad about Capitalism.
In our second special episode, we once again cover a pop group. But this time, it's Korean Pop Group Red Velvet! Corey tries his best to reveal his vast newfound knowledge, Bria shows off her language skills, and both of them spend about 5 minutes creating a meme. SAPPY SAPPY!
Our long math filled journey to the end of Liar Game comes to it's naturally cliched conclusion. Corey pontificates what it truly means to "go stupid", Bria's soul escapes her body, and both of them agree to avoid any and all old men who may or may not end up idolizing you as the centerpiece of their new worldview. BWANG!
We dig into 4 more episodes of Liar Game and get way more math than we needed. Bria performs some Entomology, Corey enters the theater of the mind, and both of them really want to know where on Earth this show takes place. LeBron James!?
Finally, after much delay, Episode 11 is here! We cover episodes 1-5 of the show Liar Game. Corey posits the future of meme numbers, Bria mostly succeeds in derailing this episode, and both of them really just want more Kakegurui. ZOOM CUT. ZOOM CUT. ZOOM CUT. Dramatic Music. ZOOM CUT.
We cover the last four episodes of Erased, closing the book on Satoru and his friends. Bria reveals how she treats her cooked pizzas, Corey attempts to skip ahead, and they both get very very stressed about Episode 11.
We tackle the next 4 episodes of Erased, and wow let me tell you this string of episodes ends in a huge series of bummers. Bria talks about her favorite moment, Corey marvels when one of the kids pulls off a super spy move, and both of them are just so...so bummed out by the end. Again, sorry about the volume issues in this one. We'll have it fixed for the final four episodes.
We unpack the first four episodes of the live action adaptation of Erased! Bria attempts to make "Ah Bread!" a thing, Corey forgot to write the notes for Episode 4, and both of them take at least 6 minutes to discuss the new Kakegurui Live Action Season 2 trailer. WWHOUNT.
We finish up Kakegurui with our coverage of episodes 6-10. Bria invents a new drinking game, Corey does a lot of gesturing in his seat that no one will ever see, and both of them rejoice in the fall of the shittiest dude. BESTIES!!!
We take a break from talking about those pesky TV shows to discuss our hot new favorite JPop band, Babymetal. Corey attempts to stop some cross-promotion, Bria discusses her favorite form of tomatoes, and both lament the fact that they will likely never see Babymetal live in their original form.
We dig into the first 5 episodes of the gambling show Kakegurui, based on the popular anime of the same name. Bria reveals a dark secret hobby, Corey does a perfect impression, and both of us try and understand the school rules on both guns and prisons??
We wrap up RE: Mind with Episodes 9 through 13. Bria unlocks the secret of infinite livers, Corey tries his best to piece everything together, and both of them remain convinced that episode 13 is some kind of weird fever dream.
We cover episodes 5 through 8 of RE: Mind. A teacher gets viciously dunked on, a teenage girl holds on to unrequited love, a character's status is revealed, and could there be a tiny deer behind all of this? No probably not.
Discussion of the first four episodes of RE: Mind! Extremely rude teen girls, a whole lotta rats, some impressive applications of the word "justice", I Guess Everything Reminds You Of Something, I Guess Everything Reminds You Of Something, I Guess Everything Reminds You Of Something, I Guess-
We discuss the final five episodes of Japanese Detective Comedy/Drama Kizoku Tantei! Convoluted solutions abound, Corey admits to a terrible secret about this episode, and we both get really upset about disastrously unearned character interaction.
We discuss the first half of Japanese Detective Comedy/Drama Kizoku Tantei! Characters are established, clues are missed, extremely complicated locked room mysteries are solved, and Weekend at Bernie's is referenced one too many times.
This is the introduction to our podcast As Seen In Japan! Sorry for some of the audio, I need to adjust Bria's volume next time, and also this went up 99% unedited.
