Get In The Podcast, Shinji | Ep. 2: The Huge Hog Dilemma / If You Can't Handle Me At My Mommy

Welcome to Episode 2 of Get In The Podcast, Shinji: This is (NOT) a Rewatch!  Sonny, Brock, Charles, and Jagie are joined by special guest Hannah the Sultry Yogi to break down Episode 3 ("A Transfer" / "A Silent Phone") and Episode 4 ("Rain After Running Away" / "Hedgehog's Dilemma"). Shinji experiences the joys of VR target practice, gets unceremoniously double-tapped by a classmate, and takes a moody but colorful journey through the liminal spaces of Tokyo-3.  Along the way, we dive into the seeming absence of biological mothers, debate whether Toji suffers from the "Huge Hog Dilemma," evaluate a flying penis monster, and debate the flavor and smell of LCL.  In this episode: Target Practice & Disassociation: "Center on target, pull trigger" as Shinji locks in to avoid another beating Where Are the Moms? Global lack of maternal energy, parentified teenagers, and the merchandising opportunities in asking "Is Misato Mommy?" The "Bondage Dick Angel" (Samshiel): Flying phallic horrors and 60-second power timers The Hedgehog’s Dilemma: Shinji’s depression walkabout, movie theater dates, and non-diegetic city pop soundtracks Updated Horny/Depressed pH Scale: Ranking Toji, Kensuke (a strong 11), Ritsuko, and the rest of the castNext Episode Homework: We keep rolling!
