The original Balls In Your Ear crew reunites for a football centric pod!  Join host Josh Sprague with OG hosts Josh Solow and Dan Avidan as we catch up on 3 years between episodes and talk the draft and upcoming season.

Balls In Your Ear - NFL Draft - May 17, 2021

Happy Harem Month! The first Harem anime we tackle this month is High School DXD! This legendary piece of Bad Anime is getting another look from a lot of critics, and we thought now was the perfect time to watch and chat through the whole first season. Is it bad? Well it's certainly has lots of nipples so I guess there's that.

Bad Anime - HIGH SCHOOL DXD: The HORNIEST Anime Ever & 100 Synonyms for Boobs - EP17 | HAREM MONTH

Our FIRST show of Isekai Month! This month we’re tackling a wide range of new Isekais and the very first sends a lukewarm message about fat shaming and confirms that anime titles are getting ridiculous (we had to shorten it for the title). Is this Isekai bad? We watch the first 3 episodes to get a reading.

CHEAT SKILL FROM ANOTHER WORLD: Being Hot is Great & Isekai Titles Make Me Want 2 Die (Isekai Month)

From the Korean manga-equivalent of the same name, it’s… basically Bridgerton! The second Isekai of the month is as prim and proper as they come- but do the first 3 episodes spell success? Or is it a Victorian travesty?

WHY RAELIANA ENDED UP AT THE DUKE’S MANSION: Bridgerton But Make It Anime (Isekai Month)

Week 3 of Isekai Month has come and we are treated to a religion-based (kinda?) Isekai that involves, you guessed it, reincarnation, boobs and hand jobs! Is this different from any other Isekai? Let’s analyze this weird child god and find out.

KamiKatsu Working for God in a Godless World(Isekai Month)

It's the sequel to our GUNBUSTER episode a year ago! GUNBUSTER 2, however was not directed by Hideaki Anno as the original was. Is this 6 ep series a sign of what was to come from studio Gainax (Gurren Lagann, Darling in the Franxx @ Trigger) or is it an absolute dud?

It’s sink or swim as we delve into our first animated film. But *not* the first animated retelling of the Titanic with talking animals, if you can believe it. Editor of MERRY LITTLE BATMAN Andy Young joins us for a chat that’s Mucho Gusto. Party Time!

AT LAST we've arrived at High School DXD Season 3! This season has more of what we love- quips, jumblies, yabo's and every other word for boob. But did it reach the heights of seasons 1 and 2?

OVA's GALORE! This particular OVA is from 1989 and has just a RIPPER of a soundtrack, but is that sountrack enough to save this entire 45 minute neo-future opus?

GIRLFRIEND GIRLFRIEND: Season 2, Begrudgingly | 3 Ep Rule

The longest title on our show to date, we watched the first (and only) season of Higehiro: After Getting Rejected, I Shaved & Took in a High School Runaway. Was this title accurate? Yes. Was the show bad? We'll figure it all out.

HIGEHIRO: He SHAVED & Took in a High School Runaway, but What Does Any of That Mean?

Today we're examining the OVA Psychic Wars, released in 1987 in Japan and in the USA in 1991. A legendary piece of garbage in the anime space, is it as awful as people say?

SPIRITED AWAY: Is it Bad? Please Don't Cancel Us

This anime film came out in 2020 from the creator of Bleach and it's a whole bunch of weird. Of course we had to give it a try- was it a great experimental movie or was it a pile of Dragon sh*t?
