I feel like at this rate, the biggest challenge you're going to have with your Best/Worst Songs of 2025 is finding ones that are literally new to this year.

We're looking at horror manga this month, starting with Lycanthrope Leo. I came to this hoping for a simple werewolf tale, but what I got was a weird old shonen manga that can never quite decide on its tone.

Review: LYCANTHROPE LEO

It's October, which means time for more spooky manga. I picked this one out hoping to get a neat werewolf story, which is something of a ra...

I'm also reminded of the recent stories about heavy metals in chocolate and cinnamon, where the issue seemed to be in part due to the source plants soaking them up from contaminated soil and/or water.

This little booger has trapped me twice today by sleeping on my knee, thus ensuring I cannot get up and Do Things without disturbing a sweet sleepy kitty.

What's the furry equivalent to trans people cracking their egg?

Because this show is absolutely going to be that for at least a handful of people.

In today’s edition of This Week in Anime, @lucasderuyter.bsky.social and discuss Crunchyroll’s recent subtitle hiccups, the competition, viewer expectations, and reflect on what’s like to work in this industry right now.

Coop and Lucas look into the Crunchyroll subtitle situation that set social media ablaze and culminated in a scathing YouTube video by Mother's Basement. Are the technical issues fixed now?

I can see now why this made an impression in the way a lot of early 70s exploitation fare did not. It has a very measured pace, a degree of restraint with the gruesomeness, smooth and professional camera work, and while it leans heavily on jump scares they are well-spaced and impactful.

Today I used the #horrormeganthon to check another classic off the list: the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which teaches us all that hitchhiking can be both the cause of and solution to all of your murderous redneck problems.

This was actually something that came up when Mike talked about this show with AWO, that there were some fansubs out there back in the 90s but people weren't rushing to hunt it down and fansub it all the way through like they did with Zeta Gundam.

That we saw such a quick reversal does arguably support that this might have been a technical issue as they stated, but like I said before, the fact that CR's PR has been so rough lately that it's hard to take anything they say at face value is its own massive problem

...Huh. So I kinda noticed it this morning when watching an episode of My-Dress Up Darling, and assumed it was just a carryover from that show predating this season, but I'm watching ep of of Plus-Sized Misadventures and it looks like CR has fully returned to using Aegisubs

Cedar Ridge is actually local to me - they make very good liquor and they use a lot of local grain to make it.

IDK the founder's politics, but they are certainly a prime example of how Trump's trade war dick-waggling can only do pointless, stupid harm.

I also imagine you would not be down with any of the food/meal subscription schemes (Factor, Hello Fresh, etc.) considering they also have a tendency to exploit their labor.

Please for the love of god, avoid Squarespace. They'll make you do ads for them forever and all you'll get from it is a clunky website host that's way harder to search and use than it should be.

I'll admit I hadn't considered the cat people curse as any sort of lesbian metaphor (since Irena herself is so sex-averse, period), but I can see how one can get there w/ the idea of deviant women who were nearly vanquished by Christian men, forcing them to survive in secret.

I've seen clips of that remake. It is way weirder...and hornier...and kind of stupidly literal about everything.

Almost certainly the latter, and it's almost hilarious how un-tailored these brands are to the channels they contact.

I really do need to seek out more of Jacques Tourneur's work. I love what he does with light and sound design in this film and the measured approach he takes to the drama. I've enjoyed both I Walked With a Zombie and Curse of the Demon in the past, but I've not seen his non-horror work.
