Ep.90: Secrets of Mandalore! III.The Empress & Millar’s Empress (2016)! The Good Asian, Purgatori 3, Anime/Manga News + More!
2023-03-09
I started today with a brief note on philosophy/psychology 0:03:07, due to an in-depth friend conversation I had about this Agnes Callard article https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/03/13/agnes-callard-profile-marriage-philosophy (CW for divorce, abortion, motherhood regret, relationships, etc) I'm curious what thoughts listeners might have to add.

This week's Tarot Studies 0:05:36 includes our new card of the week, #3 of the Major Arcana, The Empress! While I don't have so much history on this card per-se, I have some interesting insights that, oddly enough, tie into some more psychology, if just a bit. Plus some interesting and feminine connection to last week's High Priestess card! Next week is #4, the Emperor!
The Manga segment 0:19:59 begins with our new Manga of the Week: Daily Report About my Witch Senpai, by Maka Mochida! We take these two sweet little slice-of-life volumes as a cooling off period after going hard last two week with Boys Over Flowers and the Wallflower. Followed by a good but of Manga News 0:22:52, which is a bit I'm still working on perfecting! Should I just report the ones I'm familiar with, or is continuing to look for more new and interesting things a good way to expand all our manga/anime knowledge?? ( I feel like I just answered my own question)
For Comic Books 0:30:03, we begin with what was NEW this week, arriving in shops March 8th! There's plentiful kick-off's to new series', both indie and "big-two." There are two bits of Comic Book News 0:37:30, one very positive, and one less so. Also, a short discussion of What Happened to Donny Cates? Please note I jest in good humor, please don't send me internet hate over a straight white man, lol. Then the past week's Recent Reads and Events 0:42:12 includes more Lazarus Planet after-shocks, including that awful (awfully cheese-ball) Batman v Robin ending, two Stephanie Phillips kick-offs, and a Stephanie Phillips finale (her Harley Quinn run), plus more!
For whatever reason, I've been wanting to go back and finish Mark Millar and Stuart Immonen's Empress (2016; 7-issues), so I decided to make it a feature on this episode 0:54:35. Only when I was doing this write-up did I realize that it was perfect timing, alongside this week's tarot study of the Empress card. Ha! anyway. I give a little summary, but my full summary is on the linked podcast notes.
Which brings us to the TV/Movies segment 01:00:34, starting as usual with what was New (to me, at least) and Noteworthy over the past week or so, plus some exciting announcements that includes the screen adaptation of The Good Asian, the 2022 Eisner Award Winner for best Limited Series! And for damn good reason. There's a bit of Anime news 1:06:05, then finally...
Mandalorian season 3 episode 2, Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore. Folks, it's spoiler city here, and probably isn't a good segment for your kids to overhear, cause this bitch got EXCITED. If you thought I got too sweaty last week, it's in a whole new universe on this one, babyyyyyy! But, I mean, if you watched it, you get it, right? Right?!
Come back next week for the 81st episode! The Emperor in Tarot, more MANDO, a new Manga of the Week, exciting new comic reads, and always so much more! Keep it sweaty, folks, It's better that way.
