On this episode, join club hosts Dennis, Ed, Kate, Karen, and returning host Caitlin to discuss 1989's Assemble Insert! Only one thing can stop this mecha gang from wrecking Tokyo: super strong idol singer Maron Namikaze, that's who. See her rise to the top of the charts and her fanbase's hearts. Just watch your surroundings, because there's a lot of collateral damage in this one. It's enough paperwork and phone call complaints to make the chief cry. But as long as there's a nearby video rental store and a morning pick-me-up energy drink, the Anti-Demon Seed brigade is on the case.

On this episode, join Dennis, Garrett, Ed, Kate, & Karen for a discussion about Night on the Galactic Railroad. Two cat friends go on a journey through the stars and heavens with various passengers. Multiple Christian themes including crosses, hymns, a Sermon on the Mount homage, and dealing with the afterlife. But there's also the fantastical visuals with mysterious train stations, fields that go beyond the horizon, birds that become cookies, and a surprise appearance from The Titanic.

It's our ninth anniversary! And on this episode, join Dennis, Ed, Garrett, Karen, & Kate as we return to the world of Studio Ghibli with Ponyo. It's a literal fish out of water story, with the most cutesy imagery for an apocalypse, and perhaps the coolest Ghibli mom. So put those elixers away, because that's what crabs crave. And hit up that deli counter, because Ponyo wants all of the ham.
