Mortified! Episode 97: This One Comes Full Circle (2 Fast 2 Furious)
Mortified! The Friendship Quest
Every Monday, hosts Aaron and Leyla bounce a media recommendation to one another in order to bolster - or in some cases, really, really test - their long-distance friendship. Join us for a discussion on anything from our favorite Terrible Boys to the profitability of grown men dressing up as Bulbasaur and loudly shouting their own names.

This week, Aaron and Leyla find an animated movie from the 2010s that Aaron actually liked. Join us for discussions of Super-Elvis, VFX artists having to shave Henry Cavill, how all art is theft, and a very major achievement for your local podcast hosts.

This week, Aaron and Leyla remember that sexism is cartoonishly bad with Xiran Jay Zhao's "Iron Widow." We revisit our love of mechs, celebrate an anarchist polycule, and Leyla loses her mind a little bit because she remembers how she also Snapped one day and is also now an "unhinged bitch."

In this episode, Aaron and Leyla finish their biblical space foray into the Xenosaga universe with Xenosaga III. We talk about king cowards, near-canonical lesbians and a parallel surplus of boyfriends, and wanting more gobbledigook in our sci-fi (but not more Proper Nouns).

In this episode, Aaron and Leyla just barely peel themselves from the ground to talk about Little Witch Academia. We discuss kids shows made by people who make horny non-kids shows, Bandit Keith's step-daughter, Aaron's love of mean women, and being on the edge of moral panic.

This week, Aaron and Leyla watch a chad-wolf learn how to please his lady and the nice guy finish fast and last in Alpha and Omega (2010). We discuss a heavy-handed 88-minute euphemism, the terminal velocity of sequels, and married geese.

This week, Leyla gets revenge for watching Pan (2015) by dragging Aaron through a Xenosaga 2 workshop. Join us for a slightly unorthodox writers' room where we try to put our own spin on an unhinged Nietzsche-flavored JRPG reduction and Aaron actively forgets what property we're talking about, and then rants about carrots.

This week, Aaron and Leyla visit the Monsterverse on devastatingly small screens with Godzilla vs Kong! Join us for discussions of Aaron as a cryptobro, Leyla's nuclear core, and what makes the Monsterverse the second-best cinematic universe out there (the first being the Princess Switch cinematic universe, of course).
