2026/09/09

Folks, we're not joking: You have to become a snob. People have gotten way too comfortable foisting awful bullshit on us, confident we are just gonna sit there and take it as every part of the world gets worse. We must become annoying, mean snobs! People need to be afraid of sucking ass and doing things that are awful! Change starts with you!

2026/07/22

The Anime Sickos go on and on about The Wire, a classic of the golden age of TV that still hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves. We rectify this injustice by designing what The Wire needed all along: an official Game Boy Advance tie-in game full of Wario Ware-style minigames.

254: No Other Choice

Anime Sickos ·

2026/05/13

The Sickos watched Park Chan-wook's 2025 movie No Other Choice, a movie about loser husbands with no jobs.
