Crazed with enthusiasm and hopped on various legal pharmacologies, our hosts hit record late in the evening. They immediately proclaim not only mastery over the show, but stake claims on certain insights as having been never before discovered. How far they fall as the cruel hours tick by and the simple fact of their advancing age renders them into gibberers by the conclusion of the episode.
A new section of covering editorials, interviews with Anno, and other bits of Evangelion media is tried on, and Steve reports back after giving a collegial listen to the podcast of our first Liker. We finally hit the intended topic of the larger world of Evangelion in the show until words fail us when midnite approaches. Despite all this, after the recording clicks off of course we stayed up until 230am watching Mandy!
Highlights:
- Steve's revelation that Shinji is staring back at himself through the eyes of Unit 01 at the end of Episode Two is actually pretty stunning.
- The first of likely many rants regarding the state of the Evangelion Rebuild films.
- An awful lot of loudly cracking into carbonated beverages on this one.
- Finances are openly discussed, as is the purchasing of actual microphones, challenging our aesthetic of adorable effort with scrappy low quality energy.
- At one point Michael struggles through the word "conceptually" over two whole seconds, and then appears to recover from a minor stroke. You wish you could help him somehow.
- A discussion of the concept "Tiers of Canonicity", including an essential obscure Japanese video game manual.
- Our habit of making vague threats to corporations and celebrities is given context in the story of how Steve's twitter handle was banned.
