Hosts and friends Doc and Shadon love anime and really enjoy talking about it. For hours at a time. Each episode they will discuss a different anime show/movie and will aim to make you think and make you laugh. They"re just as likely to unabashedly gush about how cool a character is as

After some delays, we're back to talk about Spike Jonze' film "Her" from 2013! Shadon enjoyed this film back when it was released, but he wanted to revisit it now, almost a decade later, to see how it held up. We discuss the film's relevance in 2022, its core message about learning how to love others well, if anything about it would be made differently in 2022, its depiction of societal change in the wake of radical new technology, if the film sufficiently establishes Samantha's humanity, which app

Welcome back, friends, to Warui Deshou, where this time we discuss the notorious 1994 fighting game film adaptation, Street Fighter: The Movie! While it can occasionally be charmingly camp, and Raul Julia's performance is beyond reproach, much of the time the movie's poor casting and writing leave us cringing and groaning. But, how would we adapt a fighting game story to the silver screen? What lessons can be learned
