Anime Sickos The Sickos

The Sickos expound upon Earthbound and Mother 3, uniquely quirky JRPGs that no one played. Turns out when you put jokes into a Dragon Quest clone, it's extremely good.

Sicko homie Tom McHenry finally goes guesto mode! Tom shares his truly nightmarish work stories on one of the greatest Cog Talks of all time, then we discuss why being a cartoonist is the life-ruiner, the goofy horror comics of Junji Ito, and more. Folks, this episode's one of the greats.

The Sickos set sail for One Piece, the pirate comic about a rubber boy that is longer than the Bible. We discuss how the comic's ingenious structure allows for incredibly effective long-term storytelling, how the uniquely silly art style adds an invaluable layer of humor to the whole thing, and why the series, in the end, is about smashing neoliberalism with your homies.

We thought it was gone forever, but Cog Talk makes its triumphant return! Joe and Tom both recently took time off work and were amazed at the immediate and enormous health benefits that come from not working, leading them to recognize that work is simply the Life Removal Machine. Then, we remember to do another round of the Fruit Annihilation Tournament.

It's come to this: the Horny episode. The Sickos discuss what Horny means, why they've never been Horny, how Horny makes your posts bad, and more Horny topics. Don't expect us to do any shit like this again

It's about time for a posting episode but there have been no interesting posts made for months now. Turns out we're forever stuck in an awful time loop as our brains stagnate into mush, and now it's infecting reality as our government and media spend all their time bickering about whether the awful poster Neera Tanden gets some crony job. It's all just endless yelling to no end, and folks, we don't love it!
