We begin this week with a COVID update for Ontario, with fatigue noticibly settling in, before getting Geoff settled back into his seat around the table. We give Geoff the bulk of the first part this week to get on his soap box on the following
16:10 – NFTs and what 2022 might hold for that world, its toxic culture, and what about digital art
27:32 – A very Toronto view in light of the possible Scott Pilgram anime. With a possible fable about hubris or the price of success
And now the rest of the stories
43:11 – Mohamed let’s it rip on the Netflix price increase
49:20 – Anime North Panel submissions open up on February 1st. So is this really happening?
52:20 – One of Mike’s colleagues put up an interesting question about a very famous male protagonist, and he passes it on
1:03:35 – What’s in your queue? A look ahead to next week’s episode, and a few words on manga with more mature characters and readers
