    Moon Archive 122: Solstice Special

    It's the most holy time of the year (Arcueid's birthday), and that means a break from our usual programming for something fun! With last year's Legendary Twenty-Four Hour Podcast still fresh in our hearts, your intrepid hosts wander into the woods to discuss a pair of science fiction dystopias. What, may you ask, does the woods have to do with our subject matter? Nothing! Now pull up a seat and play a video of trees, or maybe take a nice stroll and join us for a very special holiday episode of Fate/moon archive. Next time, we'll be covering Back Alley Satsuki, a short visual novel released for April Fool's Day in 2013. We'll also be covering Gregg Araki's Teen Apocalypse trilogy, comprised of Totally F***ed Up, Doom Generation, and Nowhere. Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe).

    Moon Archive 121: Fate/Extra CCC [Chapter 7: I Love You - Depths of the Young Maiden]

    we've reached the end of our time with ccc for now (we're doing gil's route and the true end next year), and it's a rather unsatisfying ending for all involved, but mostly us. some of that was to be expected, since there are as many questions left unanswered as there are sakuras we could have been nicer to, but our issues are more general in nature. at least we got to talk about two fantastic movies and the stuff we did enjoy in ccc before the end. next time, it's our annual solstice special! that means what we're covering and how is a surprise, but please look forward to it. featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe). guest featuring blutweinen. support the show and get access to bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/cryingrules link to the fate/moon archive new and improved schedule: http://moonarchive.art/schedule section timestamps:intro - 0:00yuri teatime - 1:06the texas chain saw massacre (1974) - 11:07leviathan (2012) - 1:03:22fate/extra ccc - 1:41:59chapter 7: i love you - depths of the young maiden - 2:04:27outro - 4:27:46 list of non type-moon works referencedthe texas chain saw massacre (1974)leviathan (2012) this episode carries content warnings for discussions of heterosexuality, being mean to liz, and meat. email us at cryingrulesactually@gmail.com with questions, comments, and compliments. cover art by Benn Ends, intro music by Benn Ends, remaining music from works covered.

    sorry everyone, this has become an arknights podcast. it wasn't on purpose and we didn't do it intentionally but we and our guests simply have good taste and so there's another long arknights section of the pod this time around, along with references throughout. maybe some day we'll do a structured pod, though at this point we'll have talked about all of arknights before we get there. anyway, the main topic this week is melt. she's great. we talk a lot about what works and doesn't about her chapter as well as the excellent 2018 film shoplifters. next time, we'll be covering chapter 7 and the servant end of ccc. for yuri teatime we're watching the texas chainsaw massacre (1974) and leviathan (2012). featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe). support the show and get access to bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/cryingrules link to the fate/moon archive new and improved schedule: http://moonarchive.art/schedule section timestamps:intro - 0:00yuri teatime - 2:07shoplifters (2018) - 4:52fate/extra ccc - 50:55floor 16 - 1:28:26floor 17 - 1:58:01floor 18 - 2:42:14boss fight - 3:25:15floor 19 - 3:47:33outro - 4:30:44arknights - 4:44:02 list of non type-moon works referencedshoplifters (2018)arknights this episode carries content warnings for discussions of child abuse, kidnapping, improper disposal of a corpse, child protective services, heterosexuality, and tummy stuff. email us at cryingrulesactually@gmail.com with questions, comments, and compliments. cover art by Benn Ends, intro music by Benn Ends, remaining music from works covered.

    after a puppy-play session with bb it's time for a lighthearted chapter with everyone's favorite re-heated lizard, liz! there's not that much to talk about so even though we added a special bonus yuri teatime movie we get through ccc at a relatively fast clip, but make up for it by chatting about arknights and p5x for... a really long time. we're good at podcasting, i've heard. next time, we'll be covering chapter 6 of fate/extra ccc. for yuri teatime we're watching shoplifters (2018). featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe). support the show and get access to bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/cryingrules link to the fate/moon archive new and improved schedule: http://moonarchive.art/schedule section timestamps:intro - 0:00yuri teatime - 2:26killer of sheep (1978) - 16:03susperia (1977) - 36:46fate/extra ccc - 48:31chapter 🌸: bad end - 1:09:09chapter 5: iron maiden princess - bloodstained purity - 1:27:04floor 13 - 2:00:46floor 14 - 2:30:25floor 15 - 2:57:56outro - 3:56:52arknights, etc - 4:31:21 list of non type-moon works referencedkiller of sheep (1978)susperia (1977)arknights this episode carries content warnings for discussions of sexual assault, murder, virginity, and stripped panties. email us at cryingrulesactually@gmail.com with questions, comments, and compliments. cover art by Benn Ends, intro music by Benn Ends, remaining music from works covered.
