One Piece Recap 8: Reverse Mountain

As we kick off the Arabasta saga with season 2 of the podcast, we take a trip up Reverse Mountain and cover episodes 61 - 63 of the One Piece anime. As this is the shortest arc in the series, we take our time setting up the Grand Line and all the things that don’t make any sense but still make for great storytelling. And it turns out, you only need 2 episodes to create one of the most beloved characters in the series.

Side Piece 6: Kiki’s Delivery Service

On this week’s Side Piece, we once again go back to a formative movie from Becca’s childhood with Kiki’s Delivery Service. Trading in blood and titties for warm and cozy, we discuss how great a world full of witches would be if men would just be cool and stop stealing women’s powers.

Side Piece 5: Jujutsu Kaisen 0

This week on Side Piece, two old weebs check out what kids these days are watching as we dive into Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Join us as we jump on the Gojo bandwagon and discuss the state of modern computer animation while slowly withering into skeletons. I promise I’ll pronounce “manga” like a proper otaku next time.

The East Blue Recap: Final Thoughts

As we finish up the East Blue saga, we quickly wrap up each arc while giving some final thoughts. Join us for a pop quiz and character rankings as we wind down and have a little fun before embarking on our journey to Arabasta. Keep listening after *1:16:54* for a look behind the curtain, where we get a little personal and describe what it’s been like for two introverts to make a podcast together - if that’s your cup of tea. Thank you to everyone who’s been listening, from the bottom of our hearts!

The Straw Hat Social Club trailer

Straw Hat Social Club is a podcast by Todd and Becca, where we recap One Piece one arc at a time while also covering other anime films on our Side Piece episodes. If you're new to the series, consider this a good companion on your journey through the biggest series of all time. If not, hopefully you'll have some fun accompanying two introverted homebodies while we figure out this whole podcast thing together.
