Folks, your Sickos are old and dumb and don't know what's hip now. When we watched the Game Awards it was like we got clockwork oranged. Music is scary to us now. But don't worry: we are actually extremely wise and smart. Turns out when you're in your mid-thirties you have a perfect brain

We're back from our break. Joe had a baby, did you hear about that? That's part of why there was a break. Anyway, we talk about the baby (he is cute) and then Tom yammers about how his travel plans were ruined because he forgot that there are big parties on December 31st

Guest hosts Sara & Tom McHenry watched the big plagiarism YouTube video and now we are harrowed by the nightmarish threat of "void people," empty automatons who eerily imitate the motions of a human being and are somehow rewarded with more money than we'll ever make! It's rough out there folks!! Here is the awful video Sara mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYqu359oY6o Here is the Hbomberguy video we are talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQ Here...

Guest host erica dreisbach fills in for Joe and reveals how to defeat aging and live forever by buying pills from the store that a disgraced charlatan told you about. Remember everyone who's ever died? Well if they knew to take saw palmetto like erica they'd still be alive. My proof? erica is alive idiot, QED

Square Enix is f****d because no one liked Final Fantasy 16. They need the next mainline entry to be a rock-solid crowdpleaser that's cheap and fast to develop. Luckily the Sickos have a perfect solution: just take out the s****y parts of Octopath Traveler 2, a game that's like 80% of the way there.

It's our spookiest episode yet as the Sickos rank the Halloween monsters in a bone-chilling tournament! This one's pretty dumb (non-derogatory)

Sean Rose goes guesto mode! We discuss Sean's comic Red Ring of Death, a parody of inescapable mid-2000s gaming webcomics, his podcast The Hornet's Nest, in which reformed supervillain Dr. Hornet hosts a local classic rock radio show, and for the first time in the show's history, ANIME!

The Sickos discuss the story of the millenium: Obama is allegedly gay with Tucker's buddy. This is sure to really move the needle. Plus, numerous goofy segments and discussions of the games Nioh 2 and Luck be a Landlord.

With Joe's baby on the way, the Sickos use their genius minds to solve the age old question of how to be a perfect parent who raises a child who never experiences sadness or pain. The answer: make them play a bunch of JRPGs and Mario. Touch screens do NOT COUNT as gaming, people. Kids need controllers, not iPads.

Writer and comedian Dan Sheehan goes guesto mode! We discuss how creating a massive Twitter sensation gives you zero (0) rewards, why it whips ass to write the words at the bottom of Magic cards, and how to steal from god using tax crime. Check it out!

Jeff Stormer of the Party of One Podcast joins us for an Anime Sickos RPG adventure as we play TIME HEIST! The Sickos infiltrate Science Island on a mission to steal the Chrono Trigger so we can go back in time and remember to advertise our podcast. Seems like a tall order, but we're not alone--we have help from us in the future, after we have successfully stolen it! I know we said we wouldn't do any more art. We can't help ourselves I guess.   Time Heist is a tabletop RPG by Roll/Flip/Draw...

Many people want to own a house or condo, but uh oh! If you do that you touch the Trump Orb and become an evil guy! The Sickos discuss how and why home ownership makes you a f****d up demon person and how it can be resisted (if at all)! Plus, we finally solve how a YIMBY, the opposite of a NIMBY (bad) is also bad.

The Sickos mourn the diseased and rapidly dying website Twitter, now renamed X: The Everything App by its foolish owner, a weird man who posts tongue emojis that make no sense. In the site's final days, we share some fun posts and goofy gags. This one is really good. This one is above the curve imo  

It's been forever since we've done a Normal one. We go back to basics, discussing Chrono Cross and doing Cog Talk. Baby, we still got it!

The Sickos spent 15 months producing an audio drama miniseries and now are tired. Allow us the indulgence of reminiscing on the incredible experience of writing, casting, recording, and producing this ambitious project. We got to work with so many cool people, do so many cool things...Sicko Shock 2 f*****g rules

The Sickos accidentally pressed the Elseworlds button in Sickos HQ and were transported to an alternate universe where Anime Sickos Podcast is 100% Guestos! Rayne Klar and James Medley have taken the show over, discussing their earliest podcast memories, debuting their new feature film, and welcoming a guest of their own: the famous "Jimble"

The Sickos went to da movie house to see Asteroid City, the latest from diorama enthusiast and pastel color liker Wes Anderson. Some people do not take well to Anderson's fussy style and self-referential plot structures. Well f**k those guys, we love this shit. These movies got so many gags. Also we talk about how there was a big NASCAR race in Chicago that got turned into Noah's Ark

Twitter is bad, but sometimes these blue check mutants say stuff that's so stupid you have to laugh and hoot! We discuss an incredible thread where dozens of blue checks pitch the dumbest ideas of all time to an investor. We got a tv show called "Human: Unlimited," a prepaid lunch restaurant, Costco but not so big, a vending machine for swords, an app that does everything perfectly, and more!

The Sickos read some manga (anime in holding-still form)! We go nuts over James Stokoe's newest western manga Orphan and the Five Beasts. Joe explains the goop-based economy of Tsutomo Nihei's Aposimz. And Tom goes sicko mode over Pluto, Naoki Urasawa's reimagining of a classic Astro Boy arc. Comics...are good!!!
