2025/04/30

The most important thing in the universe is to chill and hang and vibe. If humanity is chilling then the utopian society must inevitably follow. But the man hates to see you chilling. We discuss this phenomenon and share our tips to ensure your chilling is at maximum effectiveness. Thanks to Cohen Edenfield for playing Jigsaw in our great intro sketch

222: The Police Squad Episode

Anime Sickos ·

2025/04/23

The Sickos go on and on about the classic 1982 spoof show Police Squad. Its film version, The Naked Gun, is much more successful and well-known, but the TV sitcom original is where this kind of humor shines brightest. As appreciators of comedy, the Sickos really go nuts over the craftsmanship on display. What a show!

Anime Sickos ·

2025/04/09

How come all this fascism and tariff shit is allowed to happen? Why are so many critical US agencies being deleted? Why isn't anyone stopping this? The Sickos have the answer: We live in Corpse World, a post-function existence where the concept of "doing" has been phased out entirely. Intrigued? Yeah bitch I know it's brilliant.

220: Josh Boerman and Dylan Rank Game Mechanics With Us

Anime Sickos ·

2025/04/02

We return to our ongoing project to rank all game mechanics, but when it comes to the immersive sim and fighting game genres, we don't have the expertise required to make those decisions. So we had Josh Boerman from the Worst of All Possible Worlds podcast join us to help us with the imsim mechanics and our buddy Dylan (aka Jordi from Sicko Shock 2) do the fighting game ones. What's better than this: homies chilling and yapping about video games baby Check out Josh's podcast here:

2025/03/12

Dono from the excellent podcast Radio Free Tote Bag goes guesto mode! We yammer about how getting into synth music is just an excuse to make your room look like where Daft Punk does their taxes, Tom & Joe answer relationship questions with their perfect brains, and Dono joins us in ranking some classic game mechanics. It's fun as hell folks, check this one out. You can listen to Radio Free Tote Bag at rftb.me or just do it the same way you listen to any podcast. Podcasts are all in the same

217: The Sickos Continue To Be Unemployed

Anime Sickos ·

2025/03/05

The Sickos do a special unemployed version of Cog Talk where they do the unthinkable and wish they had an evil computer that took up half their time with awful job tasks. As bad as it is, just sitting around all day is worse! Plus, Tom yammers and yaps about The Bee Sting, a great novel by Paul Murray.

Anime Sickos ·

2025/02/12

Shit is so bad! The dumbest evil man is wrecking the country using a cadre of Nazi zoomers named after an outdated meme! Da future is grim and we are miserable! Therefore, we do the only thing we can do to keep our minds from total destruction: complaining!!!

214: Posting Strikes Back

Anime Sickos ·

2025/02/05

We never thought we'd see the day: it's a posting episode. The insane repliers of Bluesky have stepped up, providing a critical mass of deranged posts without us having to log on to the odious X. We have sex poems, joke correctors, the Hawk Truth, and leaked photos of Heaven. Check it out

213: The Sickos Talk Resident Evil 4

Anime Sickos ·

2025/01/29

After the most harrowing week of fascist American leadership in our memory, the Sickos must seek the healing aura of Resident Evil 4, the platonic ideal of video game, and the real-life manifestation of Bonestorm, the game Bart wants on the Simpsons. We talk both the original and the remake. They both rule. It is fun when you kick an old old Spanish man and his head becomes deleted

212: Hundreds of Beavers is Gaming

Anime Sickos ·

2025/01/15

The Sickos watched the unbelievable indie silent slapstick comedy Hundreds of Beavers. Here's the thing: This movie is gaming. Watching this movie is the same as Minecraft except every two minutes you see the dumbest image of your life and go haw haw! We are absolutely in the tank for this movie and will go to war on its behalf. It's the only movie with a UI. You can watch the entire movie legally and for free on YouTube right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guE0Qd8BRw0

2025/01/08

Writer, podcaster, game developer and poster Merritt K goes guesto mode! We discuss her new visual novel, Fledgling Manor, the sick soul required to be a wicked Asymmetrical, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the sick compulsion to play Magic the Gathering despite it sucking ass, and our nostalgia for the bygone stink of a LAN party basement.

210: The Sickos Go Dad Mode

Anime Sickos ·

2024/12/18

We really lean in to being in our mid-30s in this one. We jaw about our various home improvement projects, and Joe goes deeper into how to become a genius parent to a wonderful child (this time for real, it's not an extended bit that uses that as a premise). Plus, Joe goes nuts about pachinko deckbuilder Ballionaire, which contains a game mechanic so good that all previous games are rendered dogshit for not including.

Anime Sickos ·

2024/11/06
