something i hate about war: when the enemy general does a big announcement and holds up a photo of me and says 'if you melee kill this guy he drops tons of gems'

the thing about the USA becoming a pariah backwater is that it's cross-purpose to my job of being internationally recognized for my wisdom

Genius Night is not technically a "live Anime Sickos Episode" but if you are an Anime Sickos fan you will note that this lineup is exclusively people whose genius funniness have generated classic episodes of Anime Sickos. You MUST come out to Cafe Mustache in two weeks!

I have unlocked the ultimate Podcast Promo ability: making little animated horizontal videos that I post to Bluesky only. This episode is a gift to you: no one else is talking about the movie chairs that beat your ass and spit on you. We are the heroes who picked up this burden

Incredibly fun and dare I say important discussion about the most pressing topic of the day- machines that tickle you and pour water on you!!!!

I liked Mike’s suggestion of seeing Chungking Express in 4DX. Fun episode!

NEW RECORD CLUB: Two and a half hours of guys in their thirties talking about Yes? It sounds too good to be true, but I assure you, it's real! Josh and I go nuts over what may be prog's crown jewel. Seriously folks: listen to that bass! oh!!!! The bass is so tasty!!!!

Talking about how the 4DX effects get programmed with my boys @caseyponey.bsky.social and @itsmigdalltime.bsky.social from @thatguttershow.bsky.social. from Anime Sickos ep 232

I went into this mostly excited to hang with Mike and Casey (two Lovely Lads) but was blown away by how hilariously stupid “4DX” is. When they shut the laptop in Shin Godzilla the massage pistons in my chair jabbed me in the back. What a world, what a life…

Listen to me, Mike, and Tom gush about 4DX (Water ON 💦🔛) for an hour and a half!!!

OUT NOW: @caseyponey.bsky.social and @itsmigdalltime.bsky.social from @thatguttershow.bsky.social made me watch a "4DX Movie," where the theater chair throws you around and beats you up and spits in your face. It's so stupid and distracting and I love it. You gotta try this shit folks

I have clowned on these SEO emails in the past but this one is really making my day

OUT NOW: @caseyponey.bsky.social and @itsmigdalltime.bsky.social from @thatguttershow.bsky.social made Tom watch a “4DX movie,” where the theater chair kicks your ass and spits in your face. It left him a changed man. This shit is so distracting and extremely funny. You gotta try it

'reat 'ecord!

OUT NOW: @jeffstormer.gobirds.online made Tom watch the 2007 John C Reilly biopic spoof Walk Hard. You'll never believe this: da movie is really fucking funny. Plus, we moan about the upcoming Springsteen biopic's crappy trailer. Walk Hard rules

Did you know Anime Sickos made a free narrative game about going back in time and bugging John Lennon? He talks like "oi you're a bloody wanker love" the whole time. I dare you to name one other podcast who would do this. They are too scared.

Anime Sickos Podcast

I avoided Walk Hard when it came out because I found the "Dewey Cox" pun tiresome and feared it would be all gross-out puns throughout. Turns out I am the world's purest moron. It took me 18 years but I have fixed my heart. Thank you @jeffstormer.gobirds.online for getting me there

it's bullshit that in real life you can still jump, but you can't double-jump, hold jump to glide, wall-cling etc. Why even keep jumping in if it's so watered down? useless

OUT NOW: @jeffstormer.gobirds.online made Tom watch the 2007 John C Reilly biopic spoof Walk Hard. You'll never believe this: da movie is really fucking funny. Plus, we moan about the upcoming Springsteen biopic's crappy trailer. Walk Hard rules

NEW RECORD CLUB: We go nuts over Deltron 3030, perhaps the crown jewel of early 2000s alternative rap. A lot of that kind of stuff shows its age nowadays...not this. Del and Automator reign supreme.

I guested on the Anime Sickos recently, where we talked about how Frieren is pretty good when it does its one cool trick and is pretty bad at most other times. More importantly, I insist that you should watch Twelve Kingdoms animesickos.com/episode/230-...

Visiting an @animesickos.bsky.social landmark

I can explain this—it’s because Tom’s Record Club, our Patreon-exclusive music discussion show, only chooses classic bangers and thus we spend the whole time going wowow this whips

I am really glad they send me these emails. This info really helps the podcast to thrive

God damn my eyes and mind that I'm not in Chicago. This was my one guaranteed chance to become a genius. I am doomed to idiocy for life

we’re approaching levels of based heretofore thought unpossible

You’re gonna LOVE Genius Night. This is a killer lineup (and me). I’ve seen what’s cooking and it’s gonna make you such a genius

Oh and this shit is free by the way. This is like you get a PhD for 0 dollars but also no homework

I promised it would never happen again. I pledged a blood oath never to be funny on a stage doing a comedy piece that I will inevitably be rewriting from scratch again and again even the morning of the show. I have broken this promise.

@tommchenry.bsky.social ? @saramchenry.bsky.social ?? I'm seeing double!!! two instances each of @tommchenry.bsky.social and @saramchenry.bsky.social !!!!

"I wonder if I will ever be able to see Anime Sickos live." I'll do you one better: you can see a wonderful new live comedy show called GENIUS NIGHT: A NIGHT FOR GENIUSES, rising from the ashes of the dearly departed SKEWER, in which incredible minds make you become a genius. You MUST be there

From the ashes of the Skewer rises GENIUS NIGHT: A NIGHT FOR GENIUSES, a live comedy show co-produced by Tom of @animesickos.bsky.social! If you loved the Skewer you'll love this. Be there for our first show Monday Sept 29th, 7pm at Cafe Mustache in Chicago! Check out that lineup!! Jesus christ!

The thing about anime is that this is the correct way to think about it, you should not trust anyone who thinks about it differently. Not even your closest friends and family!

Usually the show is about the four pillars of modern misery: Anime, Posting, Gaming, and Jobs. Sometimes they zoom in on one pillar, but for this one, they said "what if we made a whole episode out of the single most cursed pillar?"

is that allowed?

It has been over two years since we spoke about anime on the "Anime Sickos Podcast."

OUT NOW: Do not adjust your posting machine: it's a fucking Anime episode of Anime Sickos. @monkipi.bsky.social helps Tom catch up with the loathsome "cartoons," including the first new anime Tom has watched in years, Frieren. Turns out anime is the same as ever: it fucking sucks but also is so good

please tune in to hear me yapping at lovely and hilarious @tomharrison.bsky.social about the band that has taken up at least 27% of my waking thoughts for the last several years!!!!

Had to delay this due to illness but our King Gizzard Record Club is out. I had a ball yapping with @bennygesserit.bsky.social for hours about this absurd band. Feels silly to act like I know anything about KGLW because I listened to ten of their songs, but what can I say: Crumbling Castle owns

here it is @fiofiorello.bsky.social’s description of a sandwich on Anime sickos podcast that made me laugh so hard I had to pull the car over, for safety reasons

anime sandwiches podcast

We are making SEO moves. It used to be we only ranked for “anime” and “materials processing.” Now? Well, it speaks for itself

I can’t stress this enough: the insane sandwich episode is peak. The random sandwiches will excite, confuse and tantalize you. There are no gods that can exist that let this happens

Other shows say "no other podcast is doing this" in reference to their deeply researched niche topics or wildly creative projects. When I say it I mean it in reference to going to a furniture store to get a jar of brown British goop.

I don't think there has been an episode of Anime Sickos that has more surprised and challenged me than this one. I would have bet 1000 dollars I would never love to eat a radish sandwich. I am fully in the tank for tea sandwiches folks.

OUT NOW: me and @fiofiorello.bsky.social made 11 insane sandwiches with such ingredients as "onion, mayo, and parsley," "radish, butter, and parsley," and "salami, mayo, and grapefruit." It sounds like these would suck ass but tea sandwiches are bugged and somehow roll back around to being great.

So a while ago I began the extremely tedious process of uploading all our episodes to YouTube but forgot to publicize this in any way. I used to consider this a mistake but it resulted in this incredible comment. I wonder what the edit was.

this is just like or even better than [seo phrases] Tom Holland Spider-Man: Brand New Day Suit Reveal Zendaya MCU YouTube
