Have you ever watched something and immediately forgot about it? Have you ever recorded something, and completely forgot about it? This episode if for all of us, the knockoff episode about forgettable things, but here’s proof that we did watch them, probably.

Keigen, Lan, Dave, Brason, and Gui played The Comics Industry is Fucked, a fantasy draft simulator where you build a publisher after an economic apocalypse in the comic industry.

Now for something different. Frank Miller’s 2008 directorial feature Will Eisner’s The Spirit is a work that echoes forward and backward across MGAs history, truly a canonical work for this leftist podcast that needed to be covered.
It’s an awful experience. Enjoy.

And so, here we are. An episode covering a book that’s as definitively What Were They Thinking as maybe any other in existence. Welcome back, flubbers, and enjoy.

3. Kamen Rider Stronger v. Kamen Rider Skyrider v. Kamen Rider Super-1
This week, it's three shows fighting to make it out of this bracket, as we pit Kamen Rider Stronger, Kamen Rider Skyrider, and Kamen Rider Super-1 against each other to see which one Keigen vibes with the most. How will the start of an era of Kamen Rider shows fare against the ends of two respective eras of Kamen Rider? Will we get our first No out of Keigen?

Yesterday our first episode of Sequels month came out, where we’re returning to things that we went “hey maybe we’ll come back to this sometime,” about.
It’s a fun time with Galgameth, which is not a Godzilla ripoff where he’s a meth addict, nobody thought that.

For our second drop of today, Salt got really into Chainsaw Man and shortly thereafter started a Mice War in his home. We promise that all matters to this episode.

Arguably one of our funniest episodes in months, with an even funnier b-side being posted to our Patreon later today
Like great comic writers, Keigen looked at the concept of Kamen Ride Along and went “we can milk this for all it’s worth”
So, he pitched Ultimate Ride Along to bring Salt into the new Ultimate universe. Can Salt read a whole comic? Will he read X-men? Find out now!
