19. Watching Sk8 With Our Bitches and Bros and Non-binary Hoes
Episode description
This week, we watch Sk8 the Infinity which tests our ability to tell shirtless men apart and Jessica's ability to tell whether or not anime characters are related. We discuss what is happening in the it-just-might-be-queer sports anime genre (which seems to be the only anime genre we watch) and how queer representation is handled in media. The truly insane plot of this show takes us for a wild ride as we try to decipher what happened to Langa's dad, if Shadow burns Reki's skateboard or if that just kinda happens, and what the goddamn fuck is happening with Adam. We touch on the dub vs. sub debate by mostly loving the buckwild dub of this show. (Jessica has seen more random clips of the dub than she has of this show in its entirety. Do yourself a favour and go look up smash cuts of this dub. It will not let you down. This is my mental health tip of the day. You're welcome.) Will Natasha manage to get Jessica on board? Or will Jessica wipe out on the half-pipe? You'll have to listen to find out.
