I loved so much of what we watched on Get Anime’d but nothing will be more impactful to me than all of Evangelion and the phrase “Believe in the me that believes in you” from Gurren Lagann. I’d say I’ll miss the show but the new Patreon show will include Get Anime’d as a format but not the main show
This week on the final Get Anime’d, we say farewell to the show and look back at the anime we watched over the years!
Get Played continues in 2026. New episodes coming 1/5 and our new Patreon exclusive show comes 1/7!

I’m rewatching Mad Men for the first time and it’s tripping me out that I’m older than some of the cast was now than when they started this show.

It needs to be said that the Get Played group chat has been talking about Varang from Avatar: Fire and Ash for days and there is no end in sight. Varang Gang rise up.

These videos where someone with a microphone on the street approaching a person a famous person acting like they’re not famous and the famous person acting “surprised” to be asked a question need to stop. What are we even doing?

My favorite video games I played this year in no particular order:
Death Stranding 2
I think Kojima is at the height of his powers here. Improves on the first game in every way and tells an incredible and emotional story. I think about this game a lot!

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

The news is horrifying and sad. This legacy is unbelivable.
The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

I really liked Knives Out, enjoyed Glass Onion and loved Wake Up, Dead Man! I’d be very happy to be treated to a new Benoit Blanc mystery every couple of years. I wish Netflix would put them in theaters for more than limited runs and also that they would drop “A Knives Out Mystery”.
