Listen to Season 2: Episode 13 – I’m Not Pooping Tonight

This week we review a clip episode, and fittingly the recap feels more like one big set of bloopers.  Why is that appropriate?  Because we also get a blooper episode!  Enjoy bloopers from the second half of Season 1, which was our review of Excel Saga.  We’ll be back next week for Episode 14 of Trigun, “Little Arcadia.”  I promise you the bloopers are much better than next week’s Trigun episode…

Listen to Season 1: Episode 20 – Very Firm

Episode 20 of Excel Saga is another recap episode, so we decided to do a variety of things, including a mini review, a super banter segment, answering fan questions, and a trivia contest between Bill and Josh!  This episode is super long for your enjoyment!  Wait…that sounded wrong…  Also, we’d like to apologize for postponing our interview with Jessica Calvello.  We are working on scheduling a time for us to talk with her again.

We’re just one episode away from our interview with Jessica Calvello, the voice of Excel Excel!  Before we get there, we all have to suffer through a not-so-great episode of Excel, “Menchi’s Great Adventure 2:  Around the World in 80 Hours.”  We get another Menchi episode, and this time he travels around the world with the heir to the Alps Corporation.  Will she get around the world in time to get the money promised to her?  Find out!
