This is the one, the Ahsoka episode! Adam joins me for a (lit, tbh) long hour-plus discussion of the show so far, at the end of this episode! Let's do it.
Podcast notes for this episode: (U R HERE) Kicking it off with TAROT 00:05:46 and our Card of the Week, #17: the Star! After the history and symbolism, I cover the card's Interpretation/Meaning 14:55, and finally the always fun Pop Culture references 18:00 and summary. MANGA segment 25:19 includes the little bits of manga news, followed by catching up on what I've been reading in the world of manga lately. COMIC BOOKS 32:47 starting with October release news. Recent Reads/Events 39:07 including Kelly Thompson's The Cull #1, the finale of Dark Knights of Steel, plus Marvel Unleashed #1 and a ton more, all leading into catching up with the ending of Knight Terrors, which itself leads into the Batman/Catwoman Gotham War. On Marvel's side, the extensive Fall of X books have been read and summarized as well as I think is reasonable. TV/Movies/Anime segments 1:24:59 start with everything new and noteworthy, including new English anime dubs, shows I've caught up on or started fresh, and some recent movies and one-off's that I've also enjoyed. Really quickly, there's also relevant News/Announcements 1:32:39. Finally, (with Adam joining the discussion here) after some actually pretty solid discussion of the Harley Quinn show's finale of season 4 (and what we'd like to see in a season 5), we get to Ahsoka! The show, that is. Be warned, we saved recording this until we'd already cracked a few beers, so what you're hearing is raw, mostly unfiltered drunk nerds get excited about the Clone Wars and Rebels series' long-game outcome. Hail Filoni, tbh. It's so good to see....you get it. It's all in there, I hope the discussion isn't too wild. I'll be back with another episode uhhhh hopefully by the end of the month! Lots going on in life atm, so scheduling my recordings have been kinda difficult. But I shall return, and Adam too! There's at least, what, 2 more Ahsoka episodes to cover? And always, always, more comics, manga, and anime. The Fall 2023 anime season will be announced soon, too! Peace out, girl scouts.

We recorded this yesterday but forgot to post, whoops! Podcast Notes to follow along/for more info:
For the weekly Tarot Lessons, our Card of the Week 00:02:33 is #16 of the Major Arcana: The Tower. I'm talking history, meaning and symbolism, and connections to comics through the characters Hellcat, Nimrod, the Joker, and more. As this is a longer segment, the timestamps for each section are: starting with History (including the connection to Marvel's Nimrod); Appearance/Description 11:09; Interpretation/Meaning 12:29; Pop Culture 15:27 (including Marvel, DC, Anime, and Fantasy references); ending with a brief summary. There's a bit of MANGA 25:13 that I've followed this week, then COMIC BOOKS 27:16 starts with minor news, including the dark story explanation for Spider-Man: Reign, getting a sequel that nobody wanted later this year. Recent Comic Reads and Events 00:33:07 covers fun indie titles like Swan Songs (that Wijngaard art!), The Madness, and Vampirella/Dracula: Rage #1, plus the current Big Two events, Knight Terrors at DC and Fall of X at Marvel. TV/Movies/Anime has minor news at the front 44:13 with Adam joining us again to talk the new Destiny 2 Zavala casting! Don't miss Ahsoka on the 23rd, we'll discuss it on the subsequent podcast! Finally, he and I discuss the finale of Strange New Worlds 00:46:43, including a lot of talk on the Gorn species. We end with the 5th episode of Harley Quinn season 4, where both character arcs of the leading ladies ties us back to the message of Tarot's the Tower card. Whabam! Join us again next week for more Harley Quinn, prep for he Ahsoka episode, a TON more comics and manga chat, and tarot's The Star! Stay Hydrated and Sweaty, nerds. Hello and welcome back to the Yancy St Podcast! We're happy to have you.
I got a little excited about the TAROT Card of the Week this week, which is #15: The Devil 00:02:59. It actually takes up most of the episode, so I'll give each section it's own timestamp: Description/Symbolism @ 00:15:56. Interpretation/Meaning @ 00:25:50. Pop Culture @ 00:28:36. Summary @ 00:37:00. I know it seems like a lot but we've got a ton in here: historical explanation for Baphomet, Marvel, Anime, DC and Justice League character correspondences, Devil designs through history and the historical evolution of how we got there, and more. Here's the link to my Satana podcast special: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/satana-hellstrom-the-devils-daughter-satanic-panic-seduction-of-the-innocent-the-comics-code-full-character-history The weekly COMIC BOOKS Lo-Down on Recent Reads/Events 00:39:39 includes DC's Knight Terrors and Marvel's Fall of X, plus The Sacrificers #1, Amazing Spider-Man Annual, and more. Adam joins the chat for the TV/Movies/Anime segment 00:49:41, where we talk animation and unionization--while we see most of Hollywood put on pause for the SAG-AFTRA strikes, when will voice actors and animators get their own justice? We finish with the shows, currently Harley Quinn S04E04 56;28 (The First Person to Come Back From a Business Conference Without Chlamydia), and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S02E09 (Subspace Rhapsody). And boy, that musical episode was certainly....certainly something.

We'll cover some new-month topics this week as well as our regular fun programming.
Join us in the Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/gU59jDUt Tarot Lessons Card of the Week 00:07:12 is #14 of the Major Arcana, Temperance! A card of balance, mlending, and queer identity. Plus Marvel and Anime tarot references! The Manga segment 00:19:18 briefly covers My Dress Up Darling volume 9, as well as Superman VS Meshi @2. The segment for COMIC BOOKS 00:21:35 starts with covering recent releases, including Ultimate Invasion, Hellcat and She-Hulk finales, Marvel's the Fall and DC's Knight Terrors. For coming this week, we have an even better list of fun releases that I'll be covering on the next episode! Finally, I go over some more of what to expect and look forward to for comic books in this month of August. TV, Movies, and Anime begins at 00:43:42, talking briefly some new things for the Summer Anime Season such as Mashle, Pokemon, and Saint Cecilia. Also gone over are The Little Mermaid, and on the wildly opposite end of the spectrum, A Knock at the Cabin. Then, Adam leads the short talk on the upcoming Castlevania spinoff show! We end as usual with Current Shows 00:46:45, starting with the latest Strange New Worlds (S02E08), and a somber ide of the franchise. 51:36 sees us go into the Secret Invasion finale, and then remember that the Loki Season 2 trailer came out, and so we get a lot into that one, too! It ends with Harley Quinn S04E01-3 1:05:03, a delightful kickoff to what is hopefully not the final arc of the show. Come back next week for more comics, more shows, more tarot, and whatever else we come up with by then! Joins the discord, follow us online, and more in the links below.

But the heat isn't the only major complication this year. More in the news segment!
Continuing our Tarot Lessons, the Card of the Week 00:03:19 is Major Arcana #12: the Hanged Man. I found what I thought was some neat history, trailing down into the usual pop culture references and concluding with the modern take on the card. There's a bit of news for Comic Books 00:15:46, which contains spoilers for the recent Fallen Friend issue and the future of the character in question. The base of our MCU Fatigue discussions found in this episode starts here. The fairly extensive Recent Reads/Events 00:23:52 covers almost a month of comics catching up, including talk about both the current Marvel and DC comic events. For Marvel, I put together a somewhat brief summary of the Sins of Sinister event and how it leads into our current Before the Fall "precursor" event. Then for DC, I have a very basic rundown of the Knight Terrors event backstory, and a few of the stories that have happened so far. More for both next episode! Other comics discussed in slightly more-depth include Doctor Strange #5, Jon Kent's new series, the end of Hairball, the complicated feelings on Captain Marvel through Dark Tempest #1 (and her movie), and of course, more on Fallen Friend. Shows/Movies/Anime 00:51:50 begins with what we've been currently watching, starting with a longer discussion of Hijack (ApleTV+) and ending with one about My Adventures with Superman (MAX)! Both are very positive, just so ya know. Then News for this section 001:04:04, with some Anime Expo announcements, some Greta Gerwig mentions, and a good amount of discourse on the VARIOUS big strikes happening right now, and how that'll effect both con season and the immediate future of fandom. Adam mostly covers the real talk on the latest Secret Invasion episodes 01:13:34, covering the BIGGEST reveals, who's lived and died so far, general MCU observations, and a fair amount of theories. Last is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 01:21:34, covering episodes 3-5 of season 2. All of them have been delightful, IMO, true to the spirit of Trek. On that note, we also ended up talking Doctor Who, and my "theory" on how the two shows are basically the same thing. The end! I'll be back as soon as I can manage, so stay hydrated, but metaphorically sweaty. The catching up starts with an unfortunate loss, the obituary of THE John Romita Sr. (0:05:03). A legend across publishers, eras, characters, and influences, his career was one that will always remain vastly important to the history of comic book publishing.
In our episodic Tarot Studies (00:11:15), we discuss the history, symbolism, interpretation, and pop culture references of the 11th card of the Major Arcana, Justice! Coinciding comic characters: Magik and Valkyrie. Instead of a Manga of the week this go-round (00:23:49), I decided this June for Pride Month, I'd do a Pride Month Highlight on Great Queer Manga: highlighting the diversity of characters, topics, and settings of LGBTQ+-based manga! I've compiled a list of 7 beloved queer manga (plus a few favorites of our own!) to briefly describe and, I hope, catch your interest. Moving forward into my bit on Comic Books (00:34:57), I have a LOT of comics from May/June to cover, which I've finally caught up on! This includes the finale to Thompson's Captain Marvel series, the premier of Tom King's coming Wonder Woman, Hickman's return to Marvel with ultimate Invasion, and much, much more! As for what's new Next week (6/28) (00:52:43 ), we have some great variant covers to mention and celebrate. Comic Book News (00:55:51) includes Kelly Thompson's Birds of Prey, Rafael Grampa's Gargoyle of Gotham, Hickman's utter glory, and Alyssa Wong's October Captain Marvel! Lots to talk about, and even more to come. Which brings us right into the parts for TV and Movies (01:12:08), starting with some brief notes on what I've been watching lately: HMU about that FROM finale, PLEASE. Announcements/Rumors; Trailers; and Anime News (01:14:52) are gone through pretty quickly, so see the podnotes for the links to details and elaboration! Finally, CURRENT TV: (01:32:27) Starting with Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episodes 1 AND 2, then going into Secret Invasion's episode 1 premier! So much fun, for so many reasons. And are you, as well, looking forward to the SNW/Lower Decks crossover? I'm ready. And that's it this week. I'll be back as soon as I am able, odd are with Adam included! We'll talk more Trek, more Marvel, more Manga and Anime, and as always, more Comics. Keep is sweaty, nerds.

Anna and (sometimes) Adam, back at it again with a new podcast episode!
This week's Tarot Studies 0:04:01 covers our Card of the Week for the Major Arcana, #9: The Hermit! I talk a little history, description and symbolism, meaning, and pop culture references! Additionally, due to the Anime Tarot's Hikikomori card for the Hermit, I go through the differing definitions of Hikikomori, NEET, Otaku, and Weeaboo, as described by the Japanese Ministry of Health. As part of our regular Manga segment, this week's Manga of the week 0:20:01 is the elusive Ruri Dragon! Written and illustrated by Masaoki Shindo, for whom the series has had to take a break due to the creator's health. Available on the Shonen Jump app, hopefully the hype keeps up long enough for Shindo to make a glorious return for Ruri and co! The weekly COMIC BOOKS chat 0:25:04 starts with fairly extensive Comic Book News--and Adam's main involvement of the episode this week. News we cover includes August Marvel and DC announcements, the somewhat curious line of Fall of X books, Tony and Emma's coming marriage (yep, really), and of course, those ASM #26.....choices. That was....truly a choice. We all know why, but that doesn't make it any better. Lame. Anyway. I wrap up comic news with some Frank Frazetta talk regarding the upcoming Dynamite Fire and Ice series. There's a week or two of Recent Comic Reads 0:58:23, including the penultimate Captain Marvel, Spirit World, Avengers, and at least a TRIO of really fun indie titles. This is followed by what is coming for New Comics Next Week (5/24) 01:08:09: some series starts and some very coo continuations, IMO! The TV/MOVIES segment 01:13:46 includes a little bit of what I've been watching this week, like Netflix's Yakitori anime, before getting into some brief Announcements 01:15:05. Lastly, for Anime News 01:18:56, I have a few points of interest that include English dub announcements as well as releases for later seasons this year! Come back next week for more tarot lessons, more comic books, manga and anime, pop culture, and more, for the last week of May! Keep it sweaty; it's a good time to be a nerd.

This is a much less regimented episode than I usually do, so let me know what you think of the format compared to "usual" weeks.
Tarot card of the week is the Chariot! I don't have anything too interesting for history unfortunately, just the usual symbolism, meanings, and pop culture. The Manga of the Week is The Fed Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess! Not available in print in English, so that's up to you to figure out. But man, do I love this one! Easy to catch up on as it's only about 8 chapters in! Which ends what I actually planned for the episode--the remainder is free reign discussion between myself and Adam about recent Geek culture/pop culture events. We start with the recent casting rumors and short lists for James Gunn's much looked-forward-to Superman: Legacy movie. We go through our wants and expectations, along with the names who might be playing various important characters. Then it's continuing the Gunn discussion with Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Granted, we haven't seen it in theaters, but I've seen enough and heard enough to know I won't be seeing it there period. We are not a household that puts up with visceral animal pain. But there's more than that to talk about, and so with what we know, we do. Lastly, it had to happen: more Amazing Spider-Man comics discussion. But don't just stop here, the whole episode is full of little bits and pieces of geek culture being talked about, including the DnD movie, DC's Knight Terrors event, and more! I hope you enjoy our tipsy chat, and there should be a slightly more regular episode back again next week--unless y'all really prefer this! Let me know.

It's been a few weeks (long story), so with all this content too cover, I had to bring in a special co-host! Follow Adam on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/adeezzy40/
Link for podcast notes to follow along if you want: As promised, we begin this week with a tribute 05:22 to Lance Reddick: actor, artist, musician, and geek. He is a vast talent that will truly be missed. The tarot studies major arcana card of the week 12:12 is card #6: The lovers (which is gunny, cause co-host). I talk a LOT about the history of this one, which i hope you find just as interesting as I did! The deck of the month is Tarot Mucha from Lo Scarabeo. Our Manga of the Week is Kaiju No.8, in a discussion primarily led by Adam! Followed by Manga News 47:54. The Comics segment begins 52:24 with what is new this coming week (the last of April), and then has a LOT of catching up on recent comic book releases, including this final arc of Captain Marvel, the first issues of Hellcat, eternally more love for Purgatori, and so much more! TV and Movies segment 1:37:05 starts with some new and noteworthy titles including the so-far Spring Anime releases, Beef with Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, and a few others. Star Wars Celebration wrap-up 1:42:45 includes the teasers and trailers, the new "trilogy" announcement, and what we hope for the future! Other News 02:05:19 including the potential of an Adam Driver-led F4, is followed by discussion of the recent trailers that premiered--mostly the Spider-Verse and the Marvels ones. Hype! Follow Kris Anka on Instagram @krisanka Some light anime news 02:26:16 leads us finally into the finale episodes of the Mandalorian season 3 02:27:39, covering Guns for Hire, The Spies, and The Return! Mall Ninja Gideon, Din Grogu, Queer Longing, Clones, Westerns Tropes and more--there's just a lot of love in this discussion. And hopefully more next season! I'll be back--guest host or not regardless--hopefully in another week talking more manga of the week, tarot studies, new shows and comics, and much more! It's a great time to be a nerd.

For Manga 00:16:57, the new Manga of the week is Kaiju Girl Caramelise by Spica Aoki! This sweet, still early-on series is heartwarming, wholesome, and only ever getting better. Manga News 0:23:53 features a numbers of announcements on new English releases coming through the year. Comic Books 0:31:06 features what was New This Week, as well as Comic Book News and June Release Announcements 0:37:09, including the full DC Pride 2023 lineup, new Tom King series', and a fair amount of indie love. I also had o stop and talk about Purgatori some more 0:50:15, the new focus of the Halloween 2023 podcast special, who I hope I can make you all love as much as I immediately did. TV and Movies 0:53:54 begins with what is New and Noteworthy over the past week, incuding History of the World part 2, Class of '07 (Amazing!), Ted Lasso s3, making fun of Gotham Knights, and more. Only one announcement this week, if you can call it that 0:58:03; followed by another discussion of American Born Chinese (coming to Disney+ March 23rd!), including famed artist James Jean's thoughtful statement on the show and the artistic poster he created for it. The Anime segment 1:04:22 is almost entirely anime news, which is a lot of premier dates for the most part. I'm generally a dub watcher, so I love to see new English dubs being made, among all the rest of the news. OF course, we end it all with Mando Ep. 3 1:08:34 titled Chapter 19- the Convert! and just who IS this convert? Because there's more than one option, and I think it's clear based on my take here what convert I'm more excited for, and why! This IS the way, nerds. I love it. No ragerts. I'll be back next week with episode 92, covering the Hierophant tarot card and history, a new Manga of the week, all kinds of geeky news, a ton of comics talk, and more Mandalorian coverage! I can't wait.

Podcast notes for referenced links, more information, and those otherwise wanting to follow along: This week's Tarot Studies 0:05:36 includes our new card of the week, #3 of the Major Arcana, The Empress! While I don't have so much history on this card per-se, I have some interesting insights that, oddly enough, tie into some more psychology, if just a bit. Plus some interesting and feminine connection to last week's High Priestess card! Next week is #4, the Emperor! The Manga segment 0:19:59 begins with our new Manga of the Week: Daily Report About my Witch Senpai, by Maka Mochida! We take these two sweet little slice-of-life volumes as a cooling off period after going hard last two week with Boys Over Flowers and the Wallflower. Followed by a good but of Manga News 0:22:52, which is a bit I'm still working on perfecting! Should I just report the ones I'm familiar with, or is continuing to look for more new and interesting things a good way to expand all our manga/anime knowledge?? ( I feel like I just answered my own question) For Comic Books 0:30:03, we begin with what was NEW this week, arriving in shops March 8th! There's plentiful kick-off's to new series', both indie and "big-two." There are two bits of Comic Book News 0:37:30, one very positive, and one less so. Also, a short discussion of What Happened to Donny Cates? Please note I jest in good humor, please don't send me internet hate over a straight white man, lol. Then the past week's Recent Reads and Events 0:42:12 includes more Lazarus Planet after-shocks, including that awful (awfully cheese-ball) Batman v Robin ending, two Stephanie Phillips kick-offs, and a Stephanie Phillips finale (her Harley Quinn run), plus more! For whatever reason, I've been wanting to go back and finish Mark Millar and Stuart Immonen's Empress (2016; 7-issues), so I decided to make it a feature on this episode 0:54:35. Only when I was doing this write-up did I realize that it was perfect timing, alongside this week's tarot study of the Empress card. Ha! anyway. I give a little summary, but my full summary is on the linked podcast notes. Which brings us to the TV/Movies segment 01:00:34, starting as usual with what was New (to me, at least) and Noteworthy over the past week or so, plus some exciting announcements that includes the screen adaptation of The Good Asian, the 2022 Eisner Award Winner for best Limited Series! And for damn good reason. There's a bit of Anime news 1:06:05, then finally... Mandalorian season 3 episode 2, Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore. Folks, it's spoiler city here, and probably isn't a good segment for your kids to overhear, cause this bitch got EXCITED. If you thought I got too sweaty last week, it's in a whole new universe on this one, babyyyyyy! But, I mean, if you watched it, you get it, right? Right?! Come back next week for the 81st episode! The Emperor in Tarot, more MANDO, a new Manga of the Week, exciting new comic reads, and always so much more! Keep it sweaty, folks, It's better that way.

Episode 90 still coming tomorrow, the 9th!
Starting off the week with Tarot Studies 0:04:14, and this week's Card of the Week, #2: the High Priestess. Interestingly, the history of the High Priestess is quite different than that of the Magician last week, in that there are a number of real world conspiracies tied into the card's origin. Plus the three character connection from the Marvel Tarot (2007--and in need of an update, tbh), as well as the High Priestess' character archetype from the Anime Tarot! As this is the first episode of March, I also have a new Tarot Deck of the Month 0:24:17, which for March is the Pagan Cats Tarot, aka Tarot of Pagan Cats! Delightful, artistic, and so creative! The Manga segment 0:26:50 has our very in-depth Manga of the Week: The Wallflower (aka Perfect Girl Evolution)! Also having run as a delightful and popular 25-episode anime, the Wallflower was one of my first manga I read as a teen, and like last week's Boys Over Flowers, will always hold a special place in my heart. Check out the connecting Podcast Notes to see how much I DIDN'T include in the podcast, but is still all there in my write-up! Endless information; I wasn't lying when I said I love this one! That leads into a decent list of New and Continuing Manga for this new month of March 0:40:50, which again, has a much more in-depth version on the written notes linked above. Once again, the Comic Books segment 0:44:09 starts with what's new and interesting in March, from a variety of publishers, as well as releases I'm just generally looking forward to. After that is the New Comics This Week list--which I feel like I have to casually remind you is only a small portion of all weekly comic releases! Check out your local comic shop or online retailer for a full list of what releases for comics each week. The Recent Comic Reads & Events 0:50:49 segment includes the wrap-up of DC Comics' Lazarus Planet event, which officially ended with Lazarus Planet Omega, but will have further impact down the road, and I'll be keeping up with those aftershocks, as well! Other reads I talk about include, honestly, a handful of things I was underwhelmed by, but I promise that will change with the next podcast episode's comics section, as there is always more to look forward to! The final segment is TV/MOVIES 01:00:45! Starting off with some New and Noteworthy releases and watches, including Outer Banks and Make My Day. We have an amount of very interesting "announcements lite," 01:01:52 such as Steven Yeun's Thunderbolts villain role, the new Pretty-Boy-Hellboy, Something is Killing the Children's going to Netflix, and more, plus some minor rumors. There were two somewhat noteworthy trailers 01:07:04 put out last week, including Peter Pan and Wendy, and the Haunted Mansion, both of which get a mention. Anime News and Updates 01:08:53 is mostly my current watch-list and things that I'm enjoying this season. The main event is the shows! Beginning with a little bit on the surprising (to me) Mayfair Withes Finale 01:09:30 before getting into the excitement of Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 1 01:11:35, titled Chapter 17: the Apostate. We get into easter eggs, references, the trilogy of trilogies (I'm talking about prequels, originals, and sequels), plus Book of Boba, and the Clone Wars and Rebels animated shows, because it's all involved here! We're getting peak Star Wars, and yes I know how that sounds! Reign it in, Anna. I just really love Star Wars. And this is getting sweatyyyyy. Aaaand then I Finally watched Quantumania 01:22:26, and I can't say I disagree with many of the naysayers. It was....not great. MCU Fatigue central, anyone? And BOY, Bill Murray does not sit well with me anymore, jeez. The whole thing was just a little.....it was a lot. Yeah. But not all bad! I had things I liked, to be fair, so that's all discussed. Come back later this week for episode 90! Including the 18th Chapter of the Mandalorian, a new Manga of the week and tarot card lesson, comics news, and more! PLUS: a special look at Mark Millar and Stuart Immonen's EMPRESS (2016)! All that and more! Keep it sweaty, folks.

Fans and professionals alike from all kinds of art and storytelling communities had a lot to say about his man's important legacy. This had to be followed up by something lighter (0:18:44), so we have a fun live-size Gundam update!
This week's Tarot Studies (00:21:73) covers the next card of the Major Arcana: #1, the Magician! This card has some interesting and surprising history, much of which is quite different than how we view it today. For the history page I discuss in this segment, go here: https://tarot-heritage.com/from-trionfi-to-majorarcana/from-il-bagatto-to-the-magician/ and be sure t come back next week for the lesson on #2, the High Priestess! Our Manga segment (00:36:47) contains the new Manga of the Week, for which I proudly present Boys Over Flowers, by Yoko Kamio! A highly formative story for myself personally, I was particularly excited to share Hana Yori Dango with the podcast listeners. Best selling shojo manga of all time, gang gang (does anyone get that reference?) The segment for Comic Books (00:50:38) starts with some brief May solicitation highlights for the "Big-Two," including what comes new that month, and some light (and frankly necessary) Marvel bashing. Don't miss the Month of March Comic Book Look-Ahead next week, where I'll be talking about what is new and/or exciting from ALL publishers this coming month! New Comic Books This Week (Feb. 21st-22nd, 00:54:08) are covered quickly, with a plethora of indie kick-offs! Recent Reads/Events (01:03:25) includes a fairly in-depth catch-up for the first two issues of Justice Society of America, which I find myself far more into than I expected! Finally, for the TV/Movies segment (01:13:41), I go over what's new and noteworthy, including some notes on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the adjoining MCU Fatigue. It's mostly Deadpool 3 in News/Announcements (01:22:51), and the only trailer discussed (01:24:31) is the upcoming Flash movie from DC--which I'm sure everyone has thoughts about, so let me hear yours! Last is Anime News (01:29:58) and my own personal current list, again. What are you watching this season, and what are your personal hidden gem shows? That's all folks! Come back next week for more Tarot lessons, a new Manga of the Week, March comic book previews, and depending on the day I record, the first episode of Mandalorian season 3 reviewed! Sweat it out, in the meantime, and keep it cool.

Tarot Lessons this week 0:08:52 starts our deep dive into the 22 cards of the traditional Major Arcana, starting with this episode's #0, the Fool. I go through descriptions from official reference sources as well as meanings gathered in my own study notes, as well as other depiction and variation of the Fool, a tiny bit of history of the card, and of course, the Natasha Yglesias Anime Tarot archetypes, still an excellent and fun teaching tool! And to add some spice, I also go into some light pop culture references to the Fool card that can be found, too! Our Manga segment 0:29:42 focuses mostly on our new Manga of the Week: Witch Watch, by Kenta Shinohara! J'adore! And I hope you enjoy it, too. I have a little Manga News 0:38:57 that I'm still working on finding my footing for the weekly episodes, so bear with me as I settle on a design I like, and let me know what you want more of. The Comic Books segment 0:44:26 features what's new in shops this week, with a few golden keys to be sure to grab. Previous weeks' Recent Reads and Event catch-up 0:53:47 features summary of Dark Web: Finale, Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1; Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn, DC's Harley Quinn's Romances, DC Power: A Celebration, Purgatori Must Die! #2, and All Against All #1 & 2, which might be my favorite from the bunch. In TV/Movies 01:11:38, we talk New and Noteworthy (including the illustrious Cunk on Earth and the surprising Shrinking); in Announcements 01:15:46 there's the now-usual DCU nonsense, and the brand new announcement of Amazon's live-action Spider-Man Noir show project! For Anime 01:21:26, there's a bit of news on Demon Slayer season 3 before my own show updates, as I continue to search for a new hidden gem to take me by storm. As for Current Shows 01:25:54, I only have a few things to say on the Bad Batch season 2 so far, but that *REDACTED* was WILD and I want MORE Star Wars like THAT! That's all folks! Have a happy Valentine's/Lupercalia, however you choose to do so, and be sure to check back next week for a new episode covering Tarot's car #1, The Magician, a new Manga of the Week, more comic books, more news and theories, and a ton of fun for you and me both!

It felt appropriate, so I begin this week's episode with “The Way It Is,” by William Stafford, which was recently shared with me by a friend. I hope you enjoy it, too!
The episode proper begins with News, including the obituary for Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams from the 1960's TV show. She led a unique life, and I hope her children and grandchildren find comfort in the successful legacy her portrayal of Wednesday left behind. Next in News is some chat about Disney's Dreamlight Valley game, specifically the latest updates that were announced 0:15:37. I've been ridiculously hooked on this game, and am excited to see what content they put out this year! Also announced this week was the "Final Season" of Attack on Titan 0:21:24, which might feel like deja vu, and for good reason! all explained here. Of course, I am going over the newly announced DCU Slate 0:24:35, too. How could I not? I have a good deal of insight on a number of these projects, and would LOVE to hear what others think of the announcements and limited details that were provided! Chat away in the discord, linked below! This week continues part two of our Tarot Studies 0:52:14, moving along this week with a fairly general History of Tarot, which covers a number of historical identities and moments in the cultural relevance of the decks. The Major Arcana is introduced 1:05:54, and then so is the Deck of the Month for February 1:10:08 : Modern Witch Tarot Deck by Lisa Sterle (with an introduction by Vita Ayala). If you recognize those names, it's because they're both pretty heavily involved in the comic boo world, too! I love it when hobbies/interests collide. In our Manga segment 1:14:22, this week's Manga of the Week is My Dress Up Darling by Shinichi Fukuda! I have a deep love of both the manga and anime; this was chosen because volume 7 of the English edition is arriving in stores the day I am posting this episode, and as of me writing this summary, I already finished reading it! Sad face, but also -- it was so goooood! We've officially passed where the anime has run to so far. There is even a little Manga News 01:20:59 at the end of the segment, with one or two updates and a little gushing over Witch Watch, my current ShonenJump app obsession! For the Comic Books segment 01:22:41, I go over what is new and interesting (IMO) this week, as well as what to look forward to in comic releases over the rest of the month! In the previous week's Picks/Reads as well as catch-up reading coverage 01:27:30, I go over a brief explanation of Marvel's Sins of Sinister mini-event, update the latest for Lazarus Planet at DC, and have a few other fun ones to share! Finally, the Shows & Movies segment 01:35:34 kicks off for 2023 with what has been New and Noteworthy since the last 2022 episode, and the list is quite varied! I have limited coverage of Trailers that have premiered since 2022 as well 01:42:25, because frankly it is a LOT, and we can talk more about those projects as they get closer to premiering. My new ANIME section 01:44:53 h as a lot to cover, including what I've been watching in my spare time, what I've currently got on my simulcast (sort of) watch list, even including things I'm still on the fence for. And last, I speak just a minute or two on Teen Titans season 4 01:49:21, and how part 1 ended. And that's the week! Next week will feature a lot of the same, but updated, including our first Tarot Card Lesson proper, covering the first card in the Major Arcana, the Fool. More comics, more sweatiness, and more celebration of life, coming next week! in the meantime, check out my (very much in-progress) reading summary for Big Barda, co-star of the coming Valentine's Day romance podcast special!

It feels right. Things are going to be slightly different, but we'll work our way through it together.
Unchanged is starting off with some basic news, including my own personal life 0:12:23 and what I;'ve been up to over this break. Unfortunately it does also inculude an Obit section, mainly focusin on the late, grat Kevin Conroy 0:16:54. A smattering of rumors go alongside some news proper 0:23:47, whihc is mainly focused, at this point, on the curious mess over there at Warner's DCEU. Lots of thoughts, not a lot of actual movement on their side. Then we come into the Manga/Anime segment 0:32:26, with our manga of the week spotlight on CAT + GAMER by Wataru Nadatani. It's a delightful and funny slice of life story that I recommend to all reader, cat lovers, and/or gamers! And only two volumes out in English, coming from Dark Horse. I have just a little Manga Release Info for 2023 0:40:31, more of which can be found at the following links: - https://otakucalendar.com/Release - https://animecollective.com/new-manga-2023/ The newest segment of the podcast is Tarot 0:44:14. Don't leave just because of that! I have a perspective on tarot and oracle cards that will work for ANYONE! If what I have to say doesn't convince you, try this https://www.reddit.com/r/tarot/comments/9f17xj/any_nonspiritual_tarot_practicers_here/ While I'll be doing (Major Arcana) Card of the Week soon, this week we just have my Intro to Tarot and Tarot/Oracle in 2023 segments 0:50:53. More next week! So much Comic Books! 0:54:22 I have a VERY brief rundown of the following comic book categories: Best of 2022; 2022 wrap up; 2023 preview; and a FCBD 2023 preview--which we'll cover more than just titles from as we get closet to May 6th! New in This Week's Comics 1:02:24 isn't too long, but it's followed by the massive and much needed Comic Book Catch-Up, covering my recent reads over this break. It starts with the end of Judgment Day and Dark Crisis 1:06:47, then gives an explanation of events-so-far for Dark Web and Lazarus Planet 1:17:59. More fun reads I cover include 1:25:15 Harley Quinn, Hexware, Dark Knights of Steel, Grim, Earthdivers, and more, before m y extensive Vampirella vs Red Sonja #1-3 1:40:17 coverage. What can I say, I LOVE this one! 10/10, all Vampi/Sonja fans must read. Then we get back to the others at 1:47:34 for a quick reading wrap-up. Finally, and at long last, is my Wakanda Forever Review/Breakdown 1:56:40. This movie was a lot, for a lot of different reasons, and I very much enjoyed it. Easter eggs, background, and explanations given as needed. I'll be back next week to cover the rest of the TV/Movies/Trailer/other visual media, since my voice is already killing me today! Two hours of recording will do that to you. Have a wonderful week, stay warm, and hope to see you next time!
