[Anime talk starts around 9:15]

This week, JJBPod checks out the infamously gross Summer 2026 anime Chainsmoker Cat, or YaniNeko. We also talk about Wong Kar Wai films, choosing your own name, tobacco legality, The Insider, and a bunch of gross stuff. Is it obvious this episode is NSFW yet |

And with that, Akagi transitions to a hard mahjong show, which will most likely alienate anyone who isn't really into riichi mahjong. It's still a tense show, with a good - if not oddly familiar - soundtrack. We talk about episodes 4-6 this week. We also talk about The Steve Miller Band, phone numbers without area codes, Ice Ice Baby, and Oh You Thought This Was a Rabbit? |

For this tabletop-focused episode, we watched FOUR episodes of Akagi, the high-stakes mahjong anime. Well, half of us watched 1, 2, and 4, and the other half watched 1-3. Also we got Emrhys back on the pod, hooray. We also talk about Mahjong Tayo, System of a Down, the Mario Galaxy Movie, Weird NJ places, Free Solo, that one Silver Series Self-Defense ad, and falling down the free-to-play rabbit hole. |
