Mortified! Episode 143: Balam Pichkari On Repeat (Yeh Jawaani Hai Dewaani)
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 take a day-long immortality pill to talk about Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor! Join us for the normalization of anime merch, some pretty direct Yu-Gi-Oh comparisons (including this episode title, if ya nasty), and a sidebar about William Henry Harrison.

This week, join Aaron and Leyla as they get blasted one thousand years into the future and then about 20 into the past again with Final Fantasy X and X-2! I don't have anything quippy to say here. We just really love this game and it changed us fundamentally as people and creatives.

This week, join Aaron and Leyla as they ride the father of all horses towards The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Join us as we talk about Sir Ian McKellen's moisturized shoulders, the many beautiful comedic beats of Gimli, son of Gloin, and the increased gay energy between these hobbitses.

This week, Aaron and Leyla go home again in Gone Home! Join us for a farewell to Waypoint, a look back at the origin of walking simulators, and yet another brilliant pitch for a product no one will pick up because of cowardice.

This week, Aaron and Leyla optimize their SEO with the 1993 Super Mario Brothers movie! Join us for a discussion of the cutthroat NYC plumbing industry, the value of consistent (if batshit!) internal logic, and a lukewarm defense of John Leguizamo's weird take on the new Super Mario Bros movie.

We're back! This week we gaslight ourselves out of a chicken union in Chicken Run! Join Aaron and Leyla as they try something experimental in the audio format, discuss the romantic tension between an RAF veteran rooster and a butch hen, and begin the hunt for a gravy pressure gauge.
