84: Comedy Still Sucks Now

Anime Sickos ·

2021/07/14

Trump is gone, but comedy still refuses to not suck! Since it's not allowed to talk about the Main Part (the imminent collapse of society), all that is left is empty culture war where people point at things and go "that's good!" or "that's evil!" It's not very funny! Plus, we finally remember to do the Fruit Tournament again, finally completing round 2!

Anime Sickos ·

The Sickos are back with a brand new slop experience that goes down smooth. We define "Dude Time," a horrible time late at night where you turn to sludge.

Folks, this is one tasty spoon of slop!

79: The Sickos Work Retail

Anime Sickos ·

2021/06/09

Riley Hopkins (of The Podcast Mines and many others) steps in for Tom as the Sickos discuss the nightmare hell of working retail during the pandemic, in which the demons who already wrought their infernal torture on all workers suddenly get a massive automatic power-up as their very breath can now potentially kill you for real. Plus, we sing the praises of the offline wife (the purest kind of genius) Check out Tom over at The Podcast Mines with Andrew Sherman:

78: The Posting Wastes

Anime Sickos ·

2021/06/02

The Sickos look over the state of Posting and find a desolate waste devoid of life. Leaderless, the screaming hordes of fascist maniacs splinter into sub-groups led by Substack racists. Content creators devolve into endless grievance-based feedback loops as they rage against each other and their own audiences. Basically we gotta go full Dune and make computers illegal.

Anime Sickos ·

2021/05/19

The Sickos welcome Stephanie Mattos, a certified fight coordinator, to confirm that anime is real and fighting kicks ass. We discuss how to plan, choreograph, and execute a stage fight like a genius, ponder over the anatomy of Godzilla (what type of neck mobility are we looking at), and myriad other topics about the coolest thing that can happen: fighting!! Turns out when you have a subject matter expert on your podcast and the subject kicks ass, a great episode follows.

76: The Suffering-Suffering Fruit

Anime Sickos ·

2021/05/12

The Sickos discuss the Suffering-Suffering Fruit, a real life Devil Fruit that makes you think suffering is inherently noble and good. Every Democrat has eaten it and they get extremely confused when you tell them you want to suffer less.

Anime Sickos ·

2021/05/05

After hundreds of hours playing JRPGs, the video games where anime is spreadsheets, the Sickos compile the best parts of the genre that must be present in order to create the perfect JRPG that will stand atop the genre for 1000 years. Behold a masterclass in game design!

Anime Sickos ·

2021/04/14

Anime Sickos ·

2021/04/07

Sicko homie Tom McHenry finally goes guesto mode! Tom shares his truly nightmarish work stories on one of the greatest Cog Talks of all time, then we discuss why being a cartoonist is the life-ruiner, the goofy horror comics of Junji Ito, and more. Folks, this episode's one of the greats.

71: The One Piece Episode

Anime Sickos ·

2021/03/31

The Sickos set sail for One Piece, the pirate comic about a rubber boy that is longer than the Bible. We discuss how the comic's ingenious structure allows for incredibly effective long-term storytelling, how the uniquely silly art style adds an invaluable layer of humor to the whole thing, and why the series, in the end, is about smashing neoliberalism with your homies.

Anime Sickos ·

2021/03/24

We thought it was gone forever, but Cog Talk makes its triumphant return! Joe and Tom both recently took time off work and were amazed at the immediate and enormous health benefits that come from not working, leading them to recognize that work is simply the Life Removal Machine. Then, we remember to do another round of the Fruit Annihilation Tournament.

68: Oh No—Poster's Ear is Permanent Now

Anime Sickos ·

2021/03/10

It's about time for a posting episode but there have been no interesting posts made for months now. Turns out we're forever stuck in an awful time loop as our brains stagnate into mush, and now it's infecting reality as our government and media spend all their time bickering about whether the awful poster Neera Tanden gets some crony job. It's all just endless yelling to no end, and folks, we don't love it!

Casey Toney, cast member on and audio sicko for the Neoscum podcast (among others), goes guesto mode! We praise the ending of Chainsaw Man as the masterstroke it is, discuss how Casey's afflicted brain luckily allows him to become an audio engineering genius, and mourn the fact that we all love anime and manga, a medium that continually fails us despite being the fuckin best.

Anime Sickos ·

2021/02/17

College is a big grift that is dumb as shit. The Sickos reflect on how deeply they were failed by their education, and propose a new pedagogy that would dramatically improve the college experience, along with pitching an entirely new major: Sicko Studies.
