Memory hacking, AI satellites, body swapping. If only there were pieces of media to help us predict the potential pitfalls of such technologies, especially as corrupt leaders and hackers attempt to use it against the population. Anyway, we are talking about Ghost in the Shell. Add this to the Torment Nexus Criterion Collection and listen as special guest Zach updates our memories with a cache of anime lore.

This time we Tri, Tri again (wait I think we used that one already). Imagine a world that has been ravaged by mankind's wasteful disregard for scarcity and preservation. Now imagine we hitched it out of that world and went to Space Wild West. Grab a fist full of double dollars and wrangle up your riding chickens cause this week we are talking about Trigun and all the many Tri-s it tries to teach us.

It's lady's night again as the gals of The Lore You Know give the sitch on a true feminine icon, Kim Possible. Get your allyship points in by supporting women talking about women and women supporting their incompetent, more stoppable, male sidekicks. Wherever She go, We go, and He go and Me go too.

Do bugs have will? Do any of us, or are we just playthings of Gods? Who knows, but in this episode we talk about a little bug child and their deity father and all sorts of lil critters. If you feel the Radiance, don't fight it, just let it pull you like a moth to the flame.

Remember the days when they made TV shows really complicated, and also you could only reliably see them in order if you watched them at certain times, on certain days, and on a certain channel. Seems impossible right? Well...it's more likely than you think. Listen in to see what all the excitement was about circa 2004, and relive a time that was before *gestures broadly* all this.

It's that time of year again, one week after Christmas. So of course we have the perfect thing to get you back out of the Jingle Bell spirit by talking about reckless driving, real estate mergers, and of course, capitalism. Our New Year's Resolution is to always respect contract law and to become billionaires the honest, savory way. Happy Holidays everyone!

Break out your mini paints and clear every table you own, it's time to talk BattleTech. This isn't our first jump into a TTRPG, but this time we trade out a grim dark setting for a much more grounded, and therefore scarier, one. If there's one thing we know it's that giant robots are cool, so surely the gameplay must be interesting as well...right? You don't need to know how the big space ships work (solar power), just who they work for (company).

The Power Rangers: Grim dark, angsty teens or colorful, campy crew? What if I told you, it's both. But also it's better when it's the second one. In this episode we explore not just a single show or movie, but a whole genre hailing from Japan called tokusatsu. From Super Sentai to the all American Rangers, it is a cultural exchange as diverse as the Rangers themselves. Go Go Power Rangers!
