Guest in the Shell

Retro game aficionado DalaamClouds joins this episode to talk about some of our favourite media experiences in 2025, including Sinners, Kamen Rider and Rebecca Black??? How old does a game have to be to be retro? Why do we hate one of the most popular new games amongst Japanese game devs? Is British SKA music good? Some of these may or may not be answered. These annual episodes are getting more timely with each year.

Mouthwashing? X-Men?? Madame Web??? Wrestling???? Ashely Miami, Twitch streamer and PNG-tuber extraordinaire, returns to finish what they started in this extra long episode. We go over our top 10 media experiences in 2024, some honourable and less than honourable mentions, as well as getting quizzical when I put Ashely to the test. Not only this but we both get deep and personal as a hard-hitting entry pulls our lore out of us.Find James on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/geekintheshell.bsky.socialFind Ashely Miami on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ashely.miamiWatch Ashely Miami on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/ashelymiamiWant to reach out to the show?

I'm joined by Twitch streamer and PNG-tuber Ashely Miami to discuss the highs and lows of 2024 movie, game and anime releases. You can feel Ashely's soul slowly leave their body as they're presented with things they never knew existed. Talking points include Alien Romulus, The Substance, Slitterhead, Metaphor, Dead Dead Demons Dedede Destruction and more. Maybe it's not a quicklook if we recorded for over 4 hours but I'm committed to the naming convention now. We definitely didn't not finish haha anyway look out for episode 3...Find James on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/geekintheshell.bsky.socialFind Ashely Miami on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ashely.miamiWatch Ashely Miami on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/ashelymiamiWant to reach out to the show?

In this pilot episode I'm joined by my first guest Song of Sisyphus, a co-host on my infrequent other podcast (Geek in the Shell Cast). From Barbenheimer to Birdie Wing and Baldur's Gate, we talk about the highs, and lows, of releases in 2023. We also dive into our backlogs on titles such as Neon White, Revolutionary Girl Utena and Star Ocean 3. All this and even a quiz.Find James on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/geekintheshell.bsky.socialFind Song on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/songofsisyphus.bsky.socialWant to reach out to the show?
