005 I Just Love a Good Sting

Despite stifling heat and Skullard’s lack of a shirt, we’re back with another full episode of nerdy goodness. Neither rain nor sleet nor sweaty headphones are going to keep us from getting you the audio fodder you need to fritter away an otherwise valuable hour of your life.

This week, as usual, we start with the news, which covers everything from bad yogurt and mutilation of spouses to public transportation and exorcist conventions. We love keeping you informed. Then we’re off to the movies again with another Bad Movie Review (Dun-dun-DAHHHH . . .) in which Luka tells you in no uncertain terms, Don’t Look In The Basement! (1973)

Against all better judgment, Skullard demands another rematch of the Anime Lyrics Game with predictable results. Finally, our anime this week is Kuroshitsuji, or Black Butler, which defies the old saying, “You can’t get good help these days,” so long as you have a flexible definition of the word good.

I have to admit, the two of us are pretty amused with ourselves this week. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we like blathering on.

Kuroshitsuji (The Black Butler): Four Stars for season one, Two stars for season two. Luka thinks Sebastian is one hell of a butler.

And now, please become excited by clips from Don’t Look in the Basement!
