Episode 6: Kazuma Kiryu in 4k
As all the goths weep, that NYX discontinued their liquid suade range of lipsticks I chatter on about the fact there's going to be a Like a Dragon: Yakuza live action series! I mean, as we have learned from the NYX situation, we should always be prepared for disappointment, but will be pleasently suprised if it's any good.

Episode 4: Overcoming Language Anxiety
Why is it that when I get the opportunity to speak in Japanese, I feel anxious? How can I overcome that language speaking anxiety?

I also chat about the summer of anime and my top picks for the season and why I STILL haven't finished Shōgun.
