Mortified! The Friendship QuestMortified! Episode 102: This One’s Got Themes! (Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift)(Apologies ahead of time for the car alarm and mouse clicks in this episode: Aaron's neighbors have bad timing and Leyla forgot to fill out some important paperwork for a business trip.) This week, Aaron and Leyla avoid juvenile detention by getting fast and furious with Tokyo Drift!

Aaron and Leyla, Mushu Haters (Disney Sequel Spectacular)This week, Aaron and Leyla reach the bonkers milestone of getting together one hundred times and talking about various media properties.

Mortified! The Friendship QuestMortified! Episode 98: This One’s About a Video Game (The Forgotten City)This episode title will make more sense next week. But this week, Aaron and Leyla walk recklessly into an ancient temple and get caught in a time loop in 2021's "The Forgotten City." Join us for a discussion of engaging with philosophy outright, Leyla recording a podcast while incredibly motion sick, and a defense of lesbians who torture. --- Twitter: @MortifiedPod Hosts' Twitters: @aaronsxl / @leylses Hotline: ‪(775) 573-8882 Sign up for our monthly newsletter, which has additional takes and our personal recs.

Mortified! The Friendship QuestMortified! Episode 97: This One Comes Full Circle (2 Fast 2 Furious)This week, Aaron and Leyla come back from their journeys out of town to record a loose conversation about the strangely disappointing 2 Fast 2 Furious. We talk about the mean hottie to bad bitch pipeline, thank Tyrese and Ludacris for breathing life into a lot of vrooming and not a lot of dialogue, unorthodox ways of enjoying this motion picture, and then we find Vin Diesel somewhere we did not expect him. --- Twitter: @MortifiedPod Hosts' Twitters: @aaronsxl / @leylses Hotline: ‪(775) 573-8882 Sign up for our monthly newsletter, which has additional takes...2022-05-0242 min

Mortified! The Friendship QuestMortified! Episode 95: Yizhi is an iPad Kid (Iron Widow)This week, Aaron and Leyla remember that sexism is cartoonishly bad with Xiran Jay Zhao's "Iron Widow." We revisit our love of mechs, celebrate an anarchist polycule, and Leyla loses her mind a little bit because she remembers how she also Snapped one day and is also now an "unhinged bitch." --- Twitter: @MortifiedPod Hosts' Twitters: @aaronsxl / @leylses Hotline: ‪(775) 573-8882 Sign up for our monthly newsletter, which has additional takes and our personal recs.

Episode 94: Give Mary Magdalene a Gun (Xenosaga III)In this episode, Aaron and Leyla finish their biblical space foray into the Xenosaga universe with Xenosaga III. We talk about king cowards, near-canonical lesbians and a parallel surplus of boyfriends, and wanting more gobbledigook in our sci-fi (but not more Proper Nouns). --- Twitter: @MortifiedPod Hosts' Twitters: @aaronsxl / @leylses Hotline: ‪(775) 573-8882 Sign up for our monthly newsletter, which has additional takes and our personal recs.

Mortified! The Friendship QuestMortified! Episode 93: Crypto Dragon Yacht Club (Little Witch Academia)In this episode, Aaron and Leyla just barely peel themselves from the ground to talk about Little Witch Academia. We discuss kids shows made by people who make horny non-kids shows, Bandit Keith's step-daughter, Aaron's love of mean women, and being on the edge of moral panic. --- Twitter: @MortifiedPod Hosts' Twitters: @aaronsxl / @leylses Hotline: ‪(775) 573-8882 Sign up for our monthly newsletter, which has additional takes and our personal recs.

Mortified! The Friendship QuestMortified! Episode 93: Happy Birthday, Kingdom Hearts (NEW SHOW FEED DROP)In this episode of Mortified, Aaron and Leyla treat themselves to a little sentimental vamping, and then introduce you to their NEW SHOW: Simple and Greene, a guided introduction to Kingdom Hearts.

Mortified! The Friendship QuestMortified! Episode 91: The Yassification of Shion Uzuki (Xenosaga II)This week, Leyla gets revenge for watching Pan (2015) by dragging Aaron through a Xenosaga 2 workshop. Join us for a slightly unorthodox writers' room where we try to put our own spin on an unhinged Nietzsche-flavored JRPG reduction and Aaron actively forgets what property we're talking about, and then rants about carrots.
