Some Thoughts on Sabotage, Past and Current

This was written for a class in response to chapter 2 of David M. Kotz’s 2014 book The Rise and Fall of Neoliberal Capitalism, and while reading that is not necessary to understand the discussion below, that is the context for which it was written.

The pacing of this one is what I call "crunchy," as the research process for it was what I call "torment." Maybe I really should get a library card.

Kaede to Suzu

Welcome back to Season 2 of Chloe & Una's Tentacular Experience! Today we're talking about the ongoing series by Kyockcho, Kaede to Suzu. A heart-warming tale of sisterly love and also there's a guy there too I guess. We ask the hard-hitting questions other podcasts are afraid to ask, like "what is gained and lost when adapting a written work into a video format?", and "is it hot when a guy **** his **** between two girls' *******?" So *** on, and join us for our most spectacular (yet least tentacular) experience yet!

Chloe & Una’s Tentacular Experience, Vol. 3 Notes

The Pollinic Girls Attack!

In this episode of Chloe & Una's Tentacular Experience, our brave hentai researchers delve into an ancient relic of the distant past (circa 2000-2012), Kafun Shoujo by Koume Keito. What if we lived in a world where plant pollen was actually anthropomorphized into people who wanted to have sex with everyone constantly? What if stock exchanges also featured anthropomorphized stock girls that one could have sex with? What do schoolgirls have in common with Joseph Stalin? And what would a breakcore remix of a hentai review podcast sound like? All these mind-boggling questions and more are answered in volume 3 of Chloe & Una's Tentacular Experience.
