Main Discussion We discover that Laura is a food thief, and the PreCure can breathe underwater! Beyond that, though, we discuss inclusion in PreCure, and the criticism that it should "do more to appeal to boys/men." And more discussion of Laura's big decision she'll have to make next episode. We can't wait to see how it plays out! Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode Yukari is the best, and Rio is seriously trying to seem creepy and evil around the girls. This is how you get your cover blown, Rio!

This podcast episode covers episodes 459-465 Timestamps 2:58 Chatting with the Hosts 21:14 Main discussion Chatting with the Hosts We're super excited to talk more PreCure in our June Bonus Episode, and we loved the episodes we got to watch! We finished Kamen Rider Drive. It's Kat's favorite Kamen Rider season she's seen, though both your hosts were a little disappointed by some elements of the finale.   Joel finished Invincible, and though he liked the world building and many of the characters, he found the violence a little too much to bear and probably won't watch season 2.   Kat is continuing to read Six of Crows, and thinks it's a near-perfect heist story. You should absolutely check this out. Main Discussion Well folks, the Marineford Arc is off to a turbo-charged start! You have Whitebeard's devil fruit alongside Marco's, Jozu's, and Akainu's. You have admirals and captains facing each other in battle, and the descendant of Oars himself on the battle field. It's high octane, and we get more from

Main Discussion We've got body switching shenanigans, featuring Minori and Laura. We appreciate how this develops Laura's character, and we ponder what other swaps we might want to see. In addition to swapping places, we discuss why Minori and Laura work well as a pair for the series.

Joel has started Invincible. He thinks the world is super interesting, but the action and gore is a little over the top for his tastes. Also Joel has been playing Crash 4. If you liked previous Crash games, you'll like this one as well, but it can be a fairly difficult platformer if you feel the need to 100% it. Main Discussion For this part of the episode we very briefly talk about the episodes in question- but find them incredibly lacking in content. So instead we quickly shift over to our own look back on the series as well as into t

Main Discussion Joel's patience is running thin on the episodic nature of Tropical Rouge, but this episode was still fun! Sango and Laura had great moments and Laura's leadership is especially on display. Also, we're feeling sorry for Elda, won't someone play with her? Tweets in a Bottle We demand a kururun plushie, and Asuka's confusion in the bib is amazing

This podcast episode covers episodes 447 - 452 Timestamps 1:55 Chatting with the Hosts 15:39 Main discussion Chatting with the Hosts Shadow and Bone- both a Book and a Netflix series. Leigh Bardugo does solid World Building, it’s based off of Russia which is neat, and her magic system is pretty unique Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song-  a story with time travel and an AI Idol - why would we need to say more? Pretty Boy Detective Club – Nice and fluffy, pretty to look at, good jokes. Kat wonders if the main character may be trans? But it hasn’t come up yet in the series where she’s seen Zombie Land Saga – Season 2 has a weird start, but we both enjoyed the first season. Not discussed in the episode, but we have enjoyed the season as it has gone on. Monster Hunter Rise – Joel found the Thunder Serpent Narwa fight the most interesting, but the game isn't suited to his tastes Main Discussion Luffy and company finally make their escape from the great prison! Mr. 2 proves he is above and beyond the MVP of this entire arc,

Timestamps 4:20 Discussion Question 13:38 Main Discussion 26:43 Tweets in a Bottle Discussion Question What Dinosaurs do we associate with each member of the Tropical Club? Thanks to trillionbones on Reddit for the submission! Main Discussion (Real quick link to Monopoly Mermaid Monday, for which Joel is willing to give thanks and praise) This episode is about podbroadcasting, and that takes up the majority of our discussion. Also, please do stick around after our outro for a sweet surprise! Tweets in a Bottle Once again from trillionbones, we talk about Hana's introduction in Hugtto PreCure and how it's a perfect way to meet the main character and grasp her character.

This podcast episode covers episodes 441 - 446 Timestamps 2:09 Chatting with the Hosts 12:12 Main discussion Chatting with the Hosts Jade War by Fonda Lee: Wuxia fantasy series about two gangs at war with each other. Kat likes the character who murders, which she assures Joel is very specifically one character and not many. Fruits Basket Season 3 – Joel doesn’t necessarily think all villains need be redeemed, but is interested to see where the story goes. Elantris by Brandon Sanderson – A story about mortals becoming gods, until the magic turns from a blessing to a curse. Our May 2021 bonus episode will cover an in-depth review, but it's good! We always find something to appreciate about Brandon's works Monster Hunter Rise – Joel doesn’t think it’s new-player friendly, but if you like Monster Hunter or have some friends to play with it's a good time killer. Main Discussion This episode is all about the characters! Blackbeard represents the Dark side of Freedom, which contrasts nicely with Luffy. We discuss Cr

Timestamps 2:36 Discussion Question 7:25 Main Discussion 27:38 Crack Theories Discussion Question We talk what pokemon the Tropical Club members would raise. Main Discussion We discuss the Tropical Club facing the Disciplinary Committee, as well as Laura's rawest line she's delivered so far! We were also intrigued by Futari Wa PreCure's 12th episode, though the execution could have been even better. Plus, a brief discussion of the Sukeban (girl delinquent) movement and the Bancho character archetype. Will the Tropical Club break bad later in the season?

This podcast episode covers episodes 433 - 440 Timestamps 2:31 Chatting with the Hosts 14:15 Main discussion 49:50 Thoughts From the Crew Chatting with the Hosts We finished Re:Zero, the ending wasn't as crisp as season 1, but that could be because the season was split in half. It's still a great show. If you haven't heard of the debacle that was Promised Neverland Season 2, please know you should probably skip it. Check out Jazzy Guns on Youtube, it's how Joel experienced the later Danganronpa games second hand. Speaking of, Joel also watched the Danganronpa anime- and he really liked the ending, and it ties the first 2 games together very well Joel has also been listening to a lot of Cam Steady on youtube lately- and he recommends the Eevee rap cypher, the Pokemon Trainer cypher, and the Among Us Airship battle We also have more Youtube recommendations from Aunty Donna (occasional strong language warning from them)! Joel loves Chuffed and Chop Chop, and Kat recommends Morning Brown Main Discussion We meet t

Timestamps 1:39 Discussion Question 5:55 Main Discussion 26:37 Crack Theories Discussion Question Who is the standout character so far? Or perhaps we should have asked, who Tropica-shines the most? Main Discussion We largely focus on the broad question of whether we like the episodic nature of Tropical Rouge, and whether that makes each episode forgettable, or more interesting. We also take a moment to contemplate what we might have guessed the Tropical Club's sand castle would look like.

covering episodes 426-429, One Piece Film: Strong World, and the spin-off special Strong World Episode 0   1:53 Chatting with the Hosts   Black Clover – Kat really likes the mysterious fangy boy- whatever could this sexy character want?   We recommend you check out The Weekly Planet Podcast (also available on any podcatcher)- they cover comic books and movies- and the ocassional game as well.   Kat has been getting into cake decoration and baking, and recommends The Preppy Kitchen and The Icing Artist, but specifically the older videos- their new style isn't her favorite.   Joel continues to toil away on a giant ice generator in Minecraft. And if you want to join him, you could consider supporting The Full Spectrum on Patreon, whose rewards include access to their discord.   9:54 Main Episode   11:09 We Discuss episodes 426-429   The filler episodes are not our jam at all. Very dull. Boring villains, forgettable child character We also discuss the question of "Are all the arcs in One Piece

3:42 Discussion Question- What other seasons of PreCure suit the Tropical Club members? 9:26 Main Episode, in which we cover Manatsu having a hard time studying, losing her motivation, and then the victorious reclamation! We love the strong Laura and Manatsu vibes in this episode, the pair has really come a long way! Plus, we get a new finisher attack, and we love the energy in Mix Tropical. 36:09 we finish the episode with theories, one more serious than the other

  Covering episodes 422-425 & 430-432   3:06- Chatting with the Hosts Joel is still playing Minecraft- melons, pumpkins, and an ice farm! Re Zero We make a solemn promise to watch more Black Clover before the next episode- or else we’ll be subjected to terrible isekai suggestions. Will we succeed? More importantly, what's your least favorite isekai? 8:55 Main Episode   We get a ton of new characters in these episodes, and our reactions range from terrified to appreciative to confused. Plus, we discuss the adorable tiny hippo friend, and the amazing world building of One Piece. Plus, which level was our favorite? And we celebrate the return of everyone's favorite sandy man, Crocodile!   1:09:30 Thoughts From the Crew This arc is good and the battles/time limit are very tense, and some people are happy Buggy is back.

2:21 Discussion Question- what movies do we think suit each of the Tropical Club Members? Who is into romance, and who is pulling off the perfect heist? 10:50 Actual Episode, which covers the Tropical Club working as extras in a movie! We ponder Sango as a character and the theme of change, as well as whether this show's motifs are more focused on make up or tropica shine. We of course try to predict where future episodes will take us, and whether the apparent lack of a plot bothers us. 30:34 Tweets in a Bottle- we mostly focus on Papaya as a character, as well as the humor of PreCure and if that's the secret sauce for a successful season. 36:29 Crack Theories- we can all agree the Butler is pretty suspicious, right? But beyond that, we contemplate the existence of 2 things in this season: mechs and dragons.

What an incredible journey we've been on so far! We've made a lot of good friends, made a ton of great memories, and we promise to keep doing our best to bring the jokes and discussions for our listeners. We are especially thankful to our patrons- your help is always appreciated Chatting with the Hosts starts at 14:32 The Body Keeps the Score - Kat is learning more about psychology and how to work with adults as part of her new job. It's not the most fun thing she's read, but it's highly informative!  Thought Slime’s 200K subscriber video - Joel found the personal monologue at the beginning of the video highly relatable, though the rest is left-leaning politics that may or may not be your speed Super Eyepatch Wolf - Joel doesn't actually say much about this channel in this episode, but you should check out this youtuber if you haven't already- deep analysis videos on all manner of topics, mostly anime. Action Button's review of Toimeki memorial -  A funny video game reviewer with a long, long form video essay

5:14 - Discussion Question and Announcements. We introduce our listeners to Pete the Triceratops, a joke Joel will either run into the ground or Kat will keep from ever being mentioned again! For the actual discussion question, we talk PreCure evil generals, and what makes them enjoyable. Julio from KiraKira, Tenjou from Star Twinkle, and Close from Go Princess are among our favorites. 17:15 - Main episode starts. Honestly, we've lost out minds a bit. We even, at one point, contemplate whether a dino nugget counts as a "creature." We also talk about siblings in PreCure, from Asuka to Akira and Nagisa. Plus, family representation as a whole. Also, Joel is fully on board with Futari Wa Precure's dynamic between Nagisa and Honoka after seeing its 8th episode. 56:59 - Tweets in a Bottle starts. Largely we focus on Laura being a tax evader, and not quite paying her workers. This all tracks.  Please do also check out PreCure Podcast Engage, a podcast covering PreCure from the very beginning (and also Ben 10, appare

Chatting with the Hosts starts at 1:54   The Body Keeps the Score - not exactly a fun read, but something Kat has been reading to better her skills as a Counselor   We binge watched The Boys- it was very good, and not as gorey as we had feared! Good characters and realistic relationships. It's not all dark-and-gritty realism (though there is that), some high tension and good humor in places.   Check out the farming sim Littlewood - some day we'll upload our footage of playing the first few days in game. It's very relaxing, plus it has bird and cat people! And whirlybugs!   Joel continues to play minecraft, including taming every cat breed in the game and building a villager breeder. If you want to play on the same server, you can check out The Full Spectrum Podcast on Patreon- whose discord is available to patrons of any level. Or, you can check out their server tour playlist on Youtube. You'll even spot a familiar landmark from One Piece in their world!   Related to Minecraft, Joel has been en

1:44 Announcements start, in which Kat's Curesona name is revealed! 3:32 We start with a discussion question - why does PreCure appeal to Joel and Kat more than Tokusatsu? While we like the expressiveness of anime, you should still check out ToQger and Kamen Rider Drive 9:38 we discuss Kira Kira Pre Cure A La Mode and what makes it so good 13:43 we discuss Futari Wa PreCure episode 7, and why we really appreciated the episode. The growing relationship between Nagisa and Honoka really sold us 17:40 our main discussion begins. We really liked the Minori focused episode and the chance to give the shy girl time to shine. We also meet Kururun, whom we love! They're just a cute lil Pokemon, who we suspect may evolve later in the series. Perhaps into... hot Kururun? We also love Elde’s childishness, and the representation of the existential horror of adulthood. 45:19 Crack Theories

Chatting with the Hosts starts at 2:14 Boy we tackle a long list of things we've been watching this week. Great British Bake Off - A nice relaxing show for Kat to watch. Plus it gives her ideas on what to try baking next. Kamen Rider Drive – Kat loves it! It's her favorite Kamen Rider season, and she loves all the cars. And Heart is quite the Heart throb. Heart Catch PreCure - A show which has perhaps our favorite PreCure character ever in the form of Erica. Plus, it has the legendary Kumojacky, the fabulous Cobraja, and they get capes! It's wonderful Quintissential Quintuplets - Your hosts are absolutely in love with this series about love. Season 2 was pretty great, and we've since bought the entire manga and tore through it in record time. Re:Zero Part 2 - We already loved the first season, and second season has more witches. Give it a watch. Promised Neverland Season 2 was a.... well, it was a hot mess. But we were watching it, and we had yet to realize how bad it would get.
