    CotWN Extras! All Cold Open Candidates (You & Idol)

    For each episode of Cure of the WHAT Now?! (Whoops we forgot for our first 2 episodes of the season) we record various cold open candidates to put into the episode.

  2. Ka-shing! Help We've Fallen and We Can't Fight Demons!

    Ka-shing! Help We've Fallen and We Can't Fight Demons!

    Get ready for our demon slayer episode, featuring our guests who are hoping to get a taste of internet fame or unlock their demon slayer marks- whichever happens first. We talk about the troll that is Doma, the polarizing character that is Zenitsu, and Joel shows off how truly little he's retained any name-related information from this series. We'll be focusing on the Infinity Castle movie but we also talk the anime more generally in places.

    Love Is In The Air! There's No Way I'll Deal With The World God Only Knows, Unless...

    Joel is on another solo adventure with 5 seasons across 3 series of romance anime he watched close together. From the Dating Sim-centric The World God Only Knows, to the child of a more family friend Danganronpa and Quintessential Quintuplets that is Dealing with the Mikadono Sisters is a Breeze, to perhaps the most disastrous lesbian you've ever seen in There's No Way I'll Be Your Love, Unless... (AKA Watanare) he has a lot to talk about. Explore the themes of each show, hear his picks for best girl of each season and the king of all openings between all shows and seasons.

  6. Rise and Applaud! The Enemy's Gate is Down, But Clowns are Above!

    Rise and Applaud! The Enemy's Gate is Down, But Clowns are Above!

    We're covering episodes 43-45 of You & Idol PreCure in this episode- we've hit the final stretch of the show! We have Uta being forced not to sing (guess how well she adjusts to that!) A big exposition dump, and a battle with... santa?? For this round of Who's That PreCure?, we get a sense of deja vu as this mystery episode sounds a lot like the You & Idol Christmas episode. Also, we demand justice for Tanaka and Chokkirine, who have both been slighted in these episodes. Also, we'll be hosting a 2026 CotWN awards show! You can check out this post or email us at kingofthewhatpod@gmail.com with your votes.

    FNAF 2 Movie Review

    Well, the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 movie is here to mixed reception, so we decided to throw our opinions into the ether. What we can say is that this movie had references to the games, boy howdy did it have several "that's from the games!" moments. We also talk about where the next movie might go, and what changes we would have made to this movie to make it better.
