On this episode, join Dennis, Kate, Garrett, Ed, Karen, and returning from her sabbatical is Caitlin! We're talking about the 1986 shoujo sci-fi movie They Were Eleven, based on the 1975 manga series by Hagio Moto, one of the authors who helped bring about the golden age of shoujo manga. Part Among Us, part Survivor, and add in a touch of romance, the new Esperanza crew have to survive 53 days in space, or else they...can't go to space college? There's unfortunate nicknames, space intuition, an emotional support guitar, juicing mice, gender fluidity, plant robots, and a food fight.

On this episode, join Diana, Karen, Kate, Dennis, Garrett, & Sam as we discuss the 1989 OVA series Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma. Monsters roam the land, and our hero has to deal with taking out his best friend. But there are a whole lot more things to unpack. Like just what is that flashback that Hikage keeps thinking about? Why are so many ninjas pantsless? There's a literal sea horse that gallops underwater! And two different women love interests, both named Aya. Hope you don't have arachnaphobia, because this sengoku period drama has got spiders in spades.
