It's time for an Adult Swim classic, oldheads - we watched the first three episodes of an anime animated by Sunrise about cool criminals in space that is NOT Cowboy Bebop. It's Outlaw Star. We also talk about Big Mouth Billy Bass, Adult Swim's original lineup, Nanook of the North, obscure Street Fighter characters, and the decline of electronics stores. |

Myles covered this show way back in 2022 when Jackie and Marc had their first kid, but it's their turn to catch up while Myles is busy. We're late to the party but we had a good time. We also talk about slap bass, and teaching kids how to use IRC. |

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? |
