The World is My Burrito Podcast
Reviews and deep dives into Japanese and American pop culture's effect on history, the history of genres and franchises, and philosophy behind and within said content. I'm just a guy trying to justify his library and TV watching habits.

Join Luke and I as we fudge our way through the novel and films related to All You Need is Kill (by Hiroshi Sakurazaka) and Edge of Tomorrow (starring Tom Cruise)!

Join Me, Phil, and Eric from The Wait For It Podcast as we cover a title that is basically ancient at this point! It took so long to sit down and work on this episode I am so sorry );.
We're covering the new hotness that is The Summer Hikaru Died, created by MokumokuRen and currently airing on Netflix. It's a slice of life that has a ton of creepy elements and lots of allegory about growing up gay in a rural area.
Join Zack, Mike, Jose, and myself as we conclude Alien: Earth season 1! We hope you enjoyed our terrible discussion on xenomorphs, ovomorphs, the T-Oculus, synthetics, hybrids, robots, Weyland-Yutani, Prodigy, and all the other buzzwords that might get this podcast noticed!
Here's the Cinema Villains site!
In this episode I am once again joined by Zack and Mike from The Neatcast to discuss all of the synthetic shenanigans featured in Hulu's newest episode of Alien: Earth.

So, if you like Futurama, check out our ramblings! (also relevant, I swear)

ONCE AGAIN join myself with Zack and Mike from the Neatcast as we talk about Ridley Scott and Dan O'Bannon's grandchild, Alien Earth. In this episode we cover a bunch of the xenomorphs, ovomorphs, and all kinds of wacky aliens aboard the Maginot. Also, I guess we talk a little about Morrow and Eva Mendez at home.
This episode comes with Authentic Space Noises! Don't ask.
These taquitos are too big, so they're just gonna be classified as Let's Taco 'Bout epiodes! Join Zack and Mike from The Neatcast as we talk about Alien: Earth episode 4, featuring Xenomorphs, synthetics, thought provoking dialogue, and crazy stuff!
Based on stuff by Ridley Scott and Dan O'Bannon, Directed by Ugla Hauksdóttir (Icelandic awooga awooga) written by Noah Hawley + Bobak Esfarjani.
In this episode I interview author Nicholas Keating Casbarro about his debut novel, Vitalerium: Descent Into the Void.
I read the novel prior to the interview but, honestly, you could probably get away with listening beforehand. There isn't really anything important spoiled despite my best efforts.
Please reach out to Nick and check out his content using the following links:
Join Zack (Neatcast, PodAss) and I as we talk about the newest addition to the ALIEN franchise, ALIEN: EARTH, which takes place 2 years before Ridley Scott's original film. We talk about all the xenomorphs, facehuggers, synthetics, Weyland-Yutani, and all that other dumb stuff. This is not very organized but is very stream of conscious. It's late. Don't ask questions. But please feel free to provide any opinions or i...
Check out the followup episode to Battle Royale where I chat with my friend Luke about his first watch of Koushun Takami and Kinji Fukasaki's timeless classic.
In this episode I cover the Koushun Takami's Battle Royale novel, film, and manga adaptations.
In this short I cover the long lost and incomplete tale by Japanese titans Mamoru Oshii and Satoshi Kon.
This is the episode where I perfectly and reasonably explain my delays in new episodes, cover some vidja games, talk about modern animation, and whatever else I want because it's 2025 bay-beeeeee!
Today I cover the 2003 animated Christmas movie by legendary director Satoshi Kon, Tokyo Godfathers. This is barely a dive into the issues and treatment that plague our characters, namely the homeless and transgender. Be sure to check out The Wait For It Podcast's review, too!
Mike and I discuss his 2024 horror viewings because I needed some QUALITY content.
