Advertise on podcast: King Of The What Now?

Statement of Joel and Kat reviewing The Magnus Archives, a horror/mystery podcast from the Rusty Quill, recorded direct from subjects. Statement begins We're back to discuss the second half of season 3- episodes 101-120! Elias is a scary motherflipper, we get a huge infodump, we are reunited with a vampire hunter uncle and his daughter-of-a-serial-killer niece, Martin seems to be okay, and we get the best episode of the Magnus Archives ever! Whoooo, it's ritual time Baybeee! We want to apologize for the long delay between the last episode of Ah! What Now? and this one. We were sent to a strange dimmension in which everything was made of cheese- but horrifying and trying to steal our souls- and then when we escaped we faced a multitude of horrors including- strangely enough- a pack of gerbils wielding guns that screamed with human agony whenever they were fired.

To celebrate the end of You & Idol PreCure, we're hosting the awards show where we'll discuss favorite characters, moments, and outfits from the series! And we do apologize for this coming out so late, we were briefly plunged into pitch-black darkness and we had to learn to believe in ourselves and then had an extended pop-and-lock battle against an evil idol who had no fewer than four transformations and costume changes!

Get ready for our demon slayer episode, featuring our guests who are hoping to get a taste of internet fame or unlock their demon slayer marks- whichever happens first. We talk about the troll that is Doma, the polarizing character that is Zenitsu, and Joel shows off how truly little he's retained any name-related information from this series. We'll be focusing on the Infinity Castle movie but we also talk the anime more generally in places.

Joel is on another solo adventure with 5 seasons across 3 series of romance anime he watched close together. From the Dating Sim-centric The World God Only Knows, to the child of a more family friend Danganronpa and Quintessential Quintuplets that is Dealing with the Mikadono Sisters is a Breeze, to perhaps the most disastrous lesbian you've ever seen in There's No Way I'll Be Your Love, Unless...

New Season of PreCure, new review! With Detectives and Time Travel and Phantom Thieves, how does this episode hold up? Are we excited to watch more or does it fall short of expectations?

After a long journey we've come to the final 4 episodes of You & Idol PreCure, starting with episode 46 and ending on 49, we have a prank show, a battle against the evil Heart Tree, the whole town giving into darkness, a concert to save everyone's souls from Evil PreCure Giant Lady, two cute fairy girls and!

We're covering episodes 43-45 of You & Idol PreCure in this episode- we've hit the final stretch of the show! We have Uta being forced not to sing (guess how well she adjusts to that!) A big exposition dump, and a battle with... santa?? For this round of Who's That PreCure?, we get a sense of deja vu as this mystery episode sounds a lot like the You & Idol Christmas episode. Also, we demand justice for Tanaka and Chokkirine, who have both been slighted in these episodes. Also, we'll be hosting a 2026 CotWN awards show!

Throughout the JJK anime, there have been a ton of amazing scenes, but one in particular may not get as much love as it deserves. Let's discuss everything that makes the Self-Embodiment of Perfection scene so wonderful and why Joel has watched it a completely normal number of times Timestamps 2:56 The Build up to the scene 8:06 The Music Rocks 10:39 The scene proper

Well, the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 movie is here to mixed reception, so we decided to throw our opinions into the ether. What we can say is that this movie had references to the games, boy howdy did it have several "that's from the games!" moments. We also talk about where the next movie might go, and what changes we would have made to this movie to make it better.
