Shit continues to be shot in this inaugural episode of Shin Shit Shooters. Cody and Wyatt talk about what they've been up to, classic literature, we talk about Barbie without mentioning Oppenheimer ONCE, and some early thoughts on the new hotness: FF16.
Future episodes will be available over at patreon.com/user?u=201319
2023-07-26 17:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostI wanna thank all those who stuck around for as long as they did. Even those of you who simply are procrastinating leaving. It still touches me just how many fans we accrued at our peak. But the time has come for me to make the decision. Within the next few weeks, I am shutting down the Patreon. It's kinda just a source of stress for me more than anything and I would rather not have to upkeep it anymore. Thanks to some amazingly generous fans, the WHOLE library has been backed up on Internet ...

Hey all, got another update from ol Wyatt. A very generous fan did something awesome for me a few months ago and collected the entire library of the podcast, the miniseries, AND Shit Shooters onto none other that the Internet Archive (Fuck You, Chuck Wendig). I wanted there to be a place beyond Patreon where you can easily access all the work we did over the years. A lot of it, I think, is quite good actually! I will be posting and pinning this on the Twitter for those who use it and may have...

Lord help us, we are doing another Bibleman episode
Wyatt and Cody return (for this one-off special) to finish some unfinished business and place the Shroud of Turin over this Godforsaken series as we talk about the second season of The Bibleman Show!
Happy Passover everybody!
2023-04-07 18:38:51 +0000 UTC View PostTLDR; For those who are unaware, the show has come to an unfortunate end with the passing of Nicky. The final 3 episodes are all being uploaded at once here for those who want to listen. Two more episodes of Robots in Disgust are on the way, and then the Patreon will be defunct, but still up and won't cost anything.
Back in 2014, there was a show airing called Kamen Rider Gaim. Maybe you remember it. Maybe you think its "epic" or its "cringe" now, but I know for a fact people...

In this final episode of Konheads, we take some time to talk about one of Satoshi Kon's final acts of love, his final released feature film Paprika. A cascade of visual splendor while also being possibly Kon's most straightforward film, Paprika is a sort of vexing case and unintentionally a sort of fitting send-off to the career and life of a person who always seemed one or two steps ahead of everyone else.
We let the most recent poll for the next miniseries go longer than I think...

Our great big, self-indulgent farewell to the year 2022 is here and boy did we indulge. You'd think this would've been a short one considering the 7 hour goliath that I took part in for Human Insects, but nope! Four hours baby!
We dive deep into the many pieces of media we fell in love with last year, with almost zero overlap between the two of us so this episode truly has it all. Wyatt talkin Books, Nicky talking Jump, Wyatt talking cartoons, Nicky talking weird films, a bunch of fucki...

Our Light Warriors make their valiant return from the quests that make up the main body of Final Fantasy XIV's second expansion, Stormblood. Being a game sandwiched between some of the most praised MMO expansions in history, Stormblood tends to get a bad rap but what do Nicky and Wayne think?
This episode features a beefy discussion of the game's main story quests, with the patches and raids and whatnot coming in a future episode. We realized during the recording of the Heavensward ep...
I wish I could've thrown this in yesterday's post but oh well!
Wyatt and I had a meeting last night about our goals for this year and we've finally decided on some new goals for the Patreon that we think will be pretty additive to the whole experience here, and pretty fun to boot! You can go look at them right now but I'll also detail them here.
We're floating around the mid-400s lately but when we get to $500 a month, we'll be adding a new regular feature of the Patreon i...
2023-01-02 21:27:02 +0000 UTC View PostHappy new year, everyone!
2022 was an absolutely huge year for the podcast, it was an enormous year of growth for us not just as a patron community but also for the podcast itself. There were several times Wyatt and I remarked about how much better we've gotten as... (trying not to say Podcasters) Entertainers since we first started way back in 2019. That seems like a fucking eternity now! We've grown a lot more consistent as well and that might make me happier than anything else....
2023-01-01 18:39:02 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the delay, things got a little hectic this week but we're here with another miniseries poll! The final episode of our Satoshi Kon series will come out in January when we start everything back up but we figure we'll take the time to take another poll to gauge everyone's interest in some of our next ideas for our $5 tier series. We'll be taking the runner-up from our last poll and pit it against two new ideas of our choosing. They're all pretty self-explanatory so without further ado ...

Happy Holidays!
For this holiday, we decided to act on a thought we had back in one of our Daimajin episodes and actually do an episode on the christian superhero Bibleman and just how weird that whole thing is. We have a great time digging into the first season which was... not what we expected in the slightest. It's doggone interesting!
We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for our return to our usual schedule in January!

Happy Holidays!
We're ringing in the holiday season all proper-like this time with some truly top-shelf holiday cheer in the form of Satoshi Kon's Tokyo Godfathers. We talk all about what makes the film special, from its amazing characters to the truly dizzying quality of animation. The timing on this episode was just too perfect, when we realized this was the winner of our first miniseries poll we knew it had to be fated somehow, and thank you all for giving your support!

On THIS week's Discuss All Monsters, we're talking all about the sequel or not sequel, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla.... 2!! It's uh, weirdly more complicated than how it sounds. We get into the strange history of this potentially final film in the Heisei series and well.. you'll see. Contains maybe the hardest we've ever laughed on a podcast to date.
We'll see you next time... for some holiday cheer...

Much like the protagonists of this week's film, we continue our journey through Satoshi Kon's directorial work with Millennium Actress. Simply put, this film is emotionally overwhelming. It's a love letter to art, artists, audiences, and the film history of 1900's Japan. It's also a meditation on how we remember people through their work and goddamn it I'm about to cry again typing this. Anyways Wyatt and I did a podcast about this wonderful movie and dug into all the things that we could pos...

We talk about Pokémon Scarlet, as well as Violet, we talk about shitty modern film rollouts, the modern Lizard-Brained classic Vampire Survivors, some more Wheel of Time, that most fifth of Wheels of Time to be precise, oh yeah and Tactics Ogre Reborn before taking some time at the end of the show to detail some of our year-e...

Content warning: Discussion of heavy subject matter such as stalking, rape, and parasocial obsession.
We begin our deep dive into Satoshi Kon's feature film output with of course his first feature, the mind-bending parasocial masterpiece Perfect Blue. We have a wonderful little conversation about the film, its handling of its dark themes and just how well it executes on all those themes. This is one of those films that just causes you to subconsciously compare it to ot...
This time on Shit Shooters, we're rattling off discussion topics like two video game turret enemies, or like those mole guys that throw wrenches in Super Mario Bros. 3. We talk about the weather, the fourth wheel of time book The Shadow Rising, Transformers: Earthspark, God of War Ragnarok, Fonda Lee's Greenbone Saga, The Blade Itself, Hunter X Hunter and a tiny bit of some movie talk on One Piece Film Red and Dragonball Z: Battle of the Gods. We also talk about 2022-11-14 20:14:47 +0000 UTC View Post
Time travel, World War II, The Distant Future, Spielberg, Flop Novels and more in THIS episode of SHIN Discuss All Monsters! Nicky and Wyatt sit down to talk all about one of the most insane, surprising movies of the Godzilla franchise, let alone the heisei era. We dig right into the film's cynical history, give long-winded personal anecdotes and of course lovingly swish around the film's story and thematic content like wine sommeliers. Also we talk about how the monsters kick ass. Fifty epis...

On this final installment of our Mel Brooks deep-dive, we're talking about Mel's full circle moment with Silent Movie. Nearly a decade after reluctantly directing his own script, we find Brooks cashing in on the enormous clout he earned with opening Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein in the same year by forcing Hollywood to make the first silent movie it's made in 40 years. What unfolds is a true love-letter to the artform via some of the dumbest bits you've ever seen.
With that, ou...

On THIS highly-awaited and very slightly outdated episode of Light Warriors, Wayne and I talk about our experiences with the famously excellent Heavensward expansion of Final Fantasy XIV. We talk about its reputation, our personal journeys with the main story content of the expansion, as well as some of the extra trials, raids and patch quests that come with the entire experience. We're talking dragoons, classism and an allusion to the catholic church and we're going all the way in breaking d...

On this week's episode we talk about Mel Brooks' much-weaponized satire of the Western genre, BLAZING SADDLES. The film is a dark,biting, ridiculously goofy lambasting of the racist tropes of the Wild West, that at times slips up and partakes in those selfsame tropes. It's not for everybody and we're certainly in no position to tell you how to feel about the film, but it is an important piece of the history of not just film, but also the art form of comedy itself. We also talk about all the l...
