Reincarnated as Podcasters: an Isekai Podcast

Reincarnated as Podcasters

A show where we explore the countless and varying worlds of Isekai, the Anime genre. Hosts Laurens and Vicki talk through full Isekai series a couple of episodes at a time. We hope to find out why Isekai is such a force in Anime today and what a genre primarily concerned with Other Worlds has to say about this one. New episodes drop every other Saturday!

***Spoiler Warning: Severance (2022)***Three wolves rage inside your breast. One really likes work, the other really likes his dead wife. The third wolf is that devourer of worlds known as Isekai - he lives both without and within us all. Does our discussion of Severance really warrant a spoiler warning? I don't really think so but there you go anyway. Severance asks a question posed very Spike Jonesily: what if the mysterious door transported you not into John Malkovich but your boring office

Lemme just upload this and be done. Show notes to follow. I haven't uploaded this because internet issues caused my audio to sound like garbage and editing this ep felt like suffering through Itachi's sharingan genjutsu. So I simply decided not to edit it! Listen to us vape on mic and listen to me struggle to recall the term "cognitive dissonance" for like 5 minutes. Anyway, enjoy!

***Spoiler Warning: Warcraft (2016)*** Have you heard about the latest Activision Blizzard scandal? They got a talented indie film director to helm their cinematic vanity project based on the Warcraft IP five years ago. I know, I can't believe it either. And the worst part is... it might be an Isekai! In all seriousness fuck Bobby Kotick, Microsoft and the games industry that sustains itself on violence against workers, women and people of colour.

We cover: Episode 5: The Morning of Our Promise Is Still Distant (3:06) Closing Thoughts at (57:11) Yep, we went long with this one! These episodes offered a one-two combo of genre and pacing, switching it up on us with alacrity, hitting us with delicate left jabs followed by some rather straightforward, unsubtle rights.

A big thank you to Sam, who guests on this episode! ** This one went a bit long so I decided to split it up into two chunks. It's pretty much a standard ep, but we only discuss episodes 3 and 4. Our discussion on episode 5 and our closing thoughts will be uploaded some time next week. Sorry if you are inconvenienced by this, but it does help get it out on time and keeps the eps from being massive. ** We've all been hate watching Netflix's Cowboy Bebop and stirring up the vitriol within our souls

***Spoiler Warning: Cube (1997)*** Colonel, come in. This is Snake. Kept you waiting, huh? Laurens was feeling a bit under the weather so he asked me, Solid Snake (as voiced by David Hayter), to sub for him. He also asked me to make my voice extra gravelly. I'm not sure even a veteran of stealth operations, such as myself, could survive in the cube from the 1997 indie sci-fi horror Cube. Luckily that's not what we debate in this weeks "Is It an Isekai" segment. Instead we wonder how does the

***Spoiler Warning: Pleasantville (1998) *** Hell is other suburbs. I can think of no place I'd rather avoid than an American suburb. But what if you where isekai'd to one by an evil genie TV repairman? Sounds like you're in Pleasantville (1998). We give everything away about this film. Again we see sitcom nostalgia and suburban ennui rear it's ugly head in our "Is it an Isekai" segment. More like UnPleasantville, am I right? Upsettingville, more like. NPR's Shittown, more like! Okay I'll stop

The contradictions of the human mind, folks! We're talking about The Cell. The visually arresting and suspenseful sci-fi thriller direct by Tarsem Singh starring beautiful queen Jennifer Lopez and wretched goblin man Vince Vaughan. It's pretty good... but is it an isekai?

So instead they sent in a team of women including Natalie Portman. Can they unravel the mystery of the shimmer? Or will they find that they too have been isekai'd? We talk about some broader story elements in Annihalation without getting into specifics. Check it out at (23:15). There's so much anime out there it's hard to keep up at times. Nevertheless,

Watching these 3 episodes comes in second. Big shoutouts to Joss, who guests on this episode and even brings along an "is it an isekai" for discussion, 1971's Mr Benn. Is it an isekai?

Welcome to the Isekai show! We put the age old question of "is Futurama an isekai?" to rest in this one. We go into so little detail about the series that it hardly warrants a spoiler warning imo. I think we do a pretty solid job of arguing our side! This segment goes from (24:58) to (32:28). If you thought anime was purely fictitious, then let me tell you about economics! In this week's Otaku Glossary we talk about Japan's Lost decade, the asset price bubble of the the late 80s and early 90s and

***Spoiler Warning: The Truman Show (1998)*** I hope you are ready for some furore and controversy as we duke it out over whether The Truman Show is an isekai or not. It's a film starring Jim Carrey from the late 90s, and what a great film it is! We cover almost all of the big twists relevant to our discussion, so if you somehow haven't seen it then - damn - I wish I had your brain. This segment runs from (19:37) to (30:02).

If you simply must find out for yourself, unspoiled, then skip segment 22:10 to 29:09. The Otaku Glossary segment is back and it starts at 29:10. We talk about the meaning behind some of the names that have popped up so far. We talk about angels and demons and how wHaCkY those Abrahamic religions are! Also

The usual Is This an Isekai segment is present. This time we discuss the Disney plus series WandaVision. Be warned for there are mild spoilers!

This warning is merely a formality as we both kind of forgot what happens in the Wizard of Oz. I mean aside from the broad strokes that you are no doubt familiar with. And if you're not then you can go watch this boring ass movie from 1939 that is only of interest to film theory dweebs. If you must keep your Oz experience pure, skip 14:49 to 19:00.
