Marxist Clover

We are finally at yandere station. All abord the Dolores plotline.

A review of episode 8 of Ave Mujica. We talk about poststructuralism's view of the self, a hateful mother, and we finally learn about "No Jacket Required".

We discuss this episode that had staircase falls, a magical realism cat girls, and Soyo putting int he work.

Episode 5 of Ave Mujica is quieter than the last one, but there's still  plenty going own. Sakiko goes back to her grandpa, corporate jingles are all the rage, and the lead singers are down bad.

Another bonus podcast reacting to Ave Mujica. This time we talk about episode 4, which is about breaking both bands and personalities.

This is a bonus podcast because we needed to react to episode 3 of Ave Mujica. Also it's an excuse for Engels Next Door to make progressive rock references.

In this episode recorded back in January we talk about the first episode of Ave Mujica: The Die is Cast. We also discuss I Got Married to the Girl I Hate Most in Class and ponder why yandere is so popular right now.
