0:00
I hope she's not listening. You better not been telling
0:03
people our secrets about your insulin.
0:05
No. And welcome to this week's
0:38
episode of Anime Club, Chris. What Jake will eat now.
0:47
I was doing nothing. I was sitting here patiently
0:49
waiting for you to start streaming, start recording.
0:54
Good, because this is a very serious episode this week for a
0:57
very serious reason. Wipe that smirk off your face.
1:02
I'd like you to take this seriously.
1:04
Thank you. So we're here for a very special
1:08
episode of Anime Club this month.
1:12
What month is it, Chris? It is November this month.
1:18
The NFL skins are slowly starting to rot now old women
1:27
are sweeping up the broken glass of the yesteryears.
1:29
I don't know, it's diabetes month.
1:31
Why are you trying to make it sound?
1:41
I don't know, because despite the fact that you lead a
1:44
perfectly normal life full of joy and wonder, I still feel
1:49
like, I still feel like the like, diabetes Awareness month
1:53
makes it feel like we should be doing some sort of like serious
1:55
charity, raising money. But instead what we're doing is
1:59
we're just, we're watching something about pancreas.
2:03
It's fine, Yeah. I just want to say that I do
2:06
have type 1 diabetes and I don't really want your sympathy unless
2:10
it is an advantage to me. If it gets.
2:19
If it gets us at the front of a queue or something, I'll I'll
2:22
I'll cry that I'm diabetic. If it gets you free
2:24
prescriptions for life and A and a flu jab, why not?
2:28
Yeah. Regular I can flu jab or type 1
2:35
diabetes. Why not?
2:38
Awful things? That's an awful thing.
2:40
Which one person? What you're trying to see if our
2:43
condition is awful. It's a bit insensitive anyway.
2:49
In the arms. So what made you?
3:00
Yeah. Can I report?
3:02
Don't stop, just keep. Just keep.
3:04
Like riffing into the microphone.
3:08
Right, so everyone maybe actually hates diabetes.
3:11
She keeps us here against my will.
3:13
She says I'll not give you your insulin back unless you record
3:17
with us every week. And so if I if I pull any faces
3:21
or anything, I'd cry for help. Please help. 84 Welcome to this
3:30
week's Anime Club, and we're here for a super, super special
3:36
week. This week, there's no special
3:37
guest except for the guest that is always with us in the form of
3:41
Chris's broken pancreas. Because what month is it, Chris?
3:47
It's the big D. The Big D month it is diabetes
3:50
month, Diabetes awareness, that special time of year that is
3:55
about me and my pancreas. Deficient friends, brethren,
4:00
brothers in arms, sugar intolerance it.
4:07
Crashes in middle of the night. I don't quotate I feel like I
4:16
mean more like as in like having like a a hypoglycemic moment.
4:23
You do do that, sometimes you do do that, don't you though?
4:29
So because it's Diabetes Month, you have picked an anime for us
4:34
which has nothing to do with nothing to do with diabetes.
4:39
I'm just going to say I thought it was diabetes awareness month.
4:42
I've seen this, it's been on the periphery for ages.
4:44
I never really looked into it. I just thought how funny title
4:47
in a pancreas. So that's like me and and I saw
4:51
this couple at the front, this couple of 17 year olds.
4:55
I did check they're not underage and couple who are like I don't
5:03
know, they might start an organ harvesting ring.
5:07
It's an anatomy anything that happened.
5:08
So I walked into this and suggested this very blind.
5:14
So I don't think it's my fault, just going to.
5:17
Put that out there 100%. I think it's your fault it as
5:21
much your fault as Escaphonia was my fault, except for more
5:24
because this doesn't have giant robots in it.
5:26
I. Don't know you knew You knew
5:29
what Escaphonia was. Yeah, but from the perspective
5:35
of like a 10 year old, I think that 10 year old Phoebe was
5:40
clearly into different things, storytelling, lies.
5:45
She loved the weird girl thing. I liked that there were giant
5:52
robots, and I will I stand by that anyway.
5:54
But we're not talking about the weird anime I picked.
5:57
We're talking about the weird anime you picked.
5:59
Yeah, but to be fair, right when we started this, we wanted to
6:04
try some new anime that we would never.
6:06
Normally watch so very much and we've had some great animes that
6:12
we you've picked like Sakamoto days that we would never have
6:15
watched otherwise. Yeah, Kaiju #8 was another of
6:20
your picks that was turned into my favorite anime of all time.
6:24
Well, my second favorite anime of all time because we all know
6:26
what my first favorite anime is. Oh, what?
6:30
Speaking of Kaiju #8, I've just. Been Oh yeah, you went to Comic
6:33
Con? I went in Newcastle Comic Con
6:36
and with Paul because he was doing the promo stuff for it and
6:39
I was kind of like A tag along camera holder.
6:42
I do. We did a video where we did a
6:44
mystery bag. Yeah, and I feel like you and
6:47
Paul got unfairly Aggie with Lee because his idea was great and
6:53
you're just jealous that you didn't think of it first.
6:55
Which is probably executed and I won, So what can I say?
6:59
Anyway, look how did you look, right sword?
7:02
Oh my God, it's Oh no, shut the front door.
7:06
It's it's that. It's not.
7:08
Chop or David? No, I know.
7:10
But it's so cool. Look at it.
7:12
Yeah, now I can relive all of my middle-aged fantasies now.
7:20
Which is what kaju #8 is all about.
7:23
I feel like that's so appropriate.
7:26
But before we dive into anime and what I Want to Eat Your
7:30
Pancreas is all about, we should probably make sure that your
7:32
pancreas is OK by checking in on what snacks you got.
7:36
Oh yeah, and before we started this, I said I'm going to pick
7:40
some nice snacks because it's it's Japanese.
7:43
We got little so it's spoiled for choice here.
7:47
And I said if you don't get snacks, that means you're here
7:49
to diabetes and everything it stands for.
7:51
So to start off with, I've. Got a minute?
7:54
Wait, what does diabetes stand for in your book?
7:57
Can I just check when you say I hate diabetes and everything it
8:02
stands for, what are you? What are you thinking diabetes
8:04
stands for? Just, well, just in a sense that
8:08
you just hate the hate the disabled if you if you didn't
8:12
bring a snack. But have you ever heard of
8:15
Ramunis drinks? And I've got a nice cola
8:21
flavour. Which I've never had one of
8:23
those it's. Got the glass dimple.
8:26
Yeah. So I've.
8:28
Never. I look forward to watching you
8:30
try and open that. It always explodes and I've.
8:34
Got traces 2. After this I have some crystal
8:39
creams, the twists. This one is sticky toffee
8:42
pudding flavour. Oh, shut the front door and.
8:49
Then another Japanese get to see a little which is Hot Chili
8:52
crisps. Oh, OK, you're killing it.
8:58
You're killing it with the big D month snacks.
9:00
I just, I just can't wait to find out what snacks you've got.
9:04
So if you could. Yeah.
9:05
Take it away, Phoebe. I'll just have a drink because
9:08
obviously I'll not have anything to say for a while while you
9:10
show off all your snacks. Yeah, so I picked up some tonic
9:15
water which is very cold and refreshing.
9:21
And then I also have this vape which is watermelon flavour and
9:27
is delicious. And I also have a fun fact about
9:34
the Chihuahua. The Chihuahua was originally
9:37
bred for street meat. The earliest records of
9:40
Chihuahua as a breed were was that they the was of the
9:44
conquistadors talk describing small dogs that were being kept
9:48
kept for delicious foods. So technically, I do have a
9:54
snack and look at how cute he is.
9:57
Eddie, don't eat me. Oh, no.
10:00
Oh no. Oh.
10:02
It's done it. I mean, it's splattered.
10:03
With Yeah. Now that we've confirmed that
10:07
you hate the diabetics. What?
10:12
Which is deeply ironic as someone who is insulin
10:15
resistant. But then I have always been a
10:17
little bit self loathing. You just give the M.
10:21
What is it? The plate of diabetics.
10:26
Oh my God, that would be amazing.
10:30
I'm a little bit blind too, so there we go.
10:32
That kind of work. He's got like an eye thing in
10:35
it, isn't he? Has he?
10:40
Oh, when he refused, open his eyes.
10:42
Yeah. Oh, when he turned the blind out
10:44
he was tax bill anyway, so. Nothing about Wednesday, Snipe.
10:49
That's my door's just gone and we're going to ignore it because
10:52
I'm not starting this again. We tried to do this four times
10:58
so. It's it's late, you should
11:00
probably answer. It Oh fuck sake, go on your
11:04
forehead now wait. Whoa, don't worry, man.
11:10
I was trying to mess up the continuity.
11:13
Amazing. So we've both got snacks.
11:17
We both love the diabetic. Let's talk about I want to eat
11:23
your pancreas. Oh, right.
11:27
What? How would you describe this?
11:29
Like what? What would you say this film's
11:31
about? Oh, right.
11:34
Sorry. I tried to keep a straight face
11:36
and you couldn't because. Right, so.
11:42
What would a quick Google have told you about this film and
11:44
helped us avoid it? It's, it's about, it's about
11:49
high school kids, right? They're in the last year of
11:51
school. They're 17. 17 Yeah.
11:56
I don't even know if literally the hug in this.
11:58
That's about it anyway, yeah. Well, there's some weird sexual
12:03
threat stuff as well. Yeah, it's a bit.
12:07
Anyway, Carrot, we're jumping ahead.
12:09
What's? Sorry.
12:10
So yeah, this is 2 high school students.
12:13
One of them is a nobody. He's a bit of a Dick to be
12:16
honest. He's got no interest in all of
12:18
his classmates, anyone. On a personal level.
12:22
I would say he works in the library or something in the
12:25
school library. And then it's like, right on.
12:28
Is he into his books casually? Yeah.
12:31
It just seems like a bit of a waste of space.
12:36
And then there's this other high school, secondary school,
12:39
whatever girl called Sakra. Yeah.
12:44
Sakra, like, the tree, tree blossoms.
12:48
And she for some reason tries to groom him.
12:55
Where? No, I don't think it's screaming
12:57
when they're the same age. No.
13:01
It is a bit predatory, I will agree this, but it's.
13:05
So she basically she is terminal, she's going to die.
13:11
She has some pancreatic disease, which she doesn't really go into
13:15
the specifics. Pancreatic cancer maybe, I'm not
13:19
sure. I think it is supposed to be
13:21
pancreatic cancer, yeah. But she doesn't see it, does
13:24
she? She doesn't talk about it in
13:26
detail, but you do see at one point, you see he looks in her
13:30
bag in the hotel. They end up going to a hotel
13:33
weirdly, and he's looking in her bag and you see all these
13:39
different drugs and things. So it's obviously something
13:41
that's, yeah, significant enough that she knows she's going to
13:46
die from the first moment in the film.
13:49
She's terminal anyway, but then so basically she makes it her
13:55
mission to make this young boy who doesn't reveal his name
14:01
until halfway through the film to her and then to the audience
14:04
at the very end. And like to force him to become
14:09
his friend and just say, Oh, well, you know, I'm dying, you
14:12
know, so can you take us to the shop?
14:14
I've always wanted to go here before I die.
14:17
I've got this really long bucket list.
14:19
I've broke up with my boyfriend and I've got friends, but I
14:21
don't want to talk to them. I want I'll stick to you
14:23
stranger, but I don't know. I don't know if she saw
14:27
potential in him, that he's a nice guy, but she forces him to
14:30
come out of his shell and be have a bit of empathy.
14:38
Yeah, because at the. End Yeah, yeah, it's just all
14:40
she does is teach him the meaning of friendship.
14:43
And his heart grew 3 sizes by the end and he died of giant
14:48
heart anus. They didn't, but.
14:51
But close enough, yeah. Close enough, but yeah.
14:55
So at the end, this girl, Sakura, who was dying of a
15:01
pancreas, pancreatic disease or illness, gets stabbed and dies
15:07
anyway. They'll have a funeral.
15:11
Yeah. She'd been keeping the journal
15:14
and go and. Can you remember the name of the
15:17
journal? My journal.
15:21
Nope, Living with dying. Yeah, yeah.
15:27
Living with dying and she beforehand.
15:31
She was for those listening on Spotify.
15:33
Chris, just pull the face. Which can only be equated to
15:37
when you walk into a lift and realise someone has left you a
15:40
fart behind. Jonas, I'm I'm not seeing this
15:47
film as a a fart in a lift, but I'm not.
15:52
That would be that would be interesting on a few different
15:55
levels, whereas this was barely entertaining on one level.
16:00
Oh, I'll get it because I can see some positives in it.
16:03
Okay, I'll just. Okay, yeah, let's give positive.
16:05
Just give us some time to think of them and then so anyway, so.
16:11
So she gets there's a diary. There's a diary and but before
16:16
she dies, she said, Oh well, you know I'm going to die soon.
16:19
We've been talking about for ages.
16:20
I've been using it to justify my weird actions for months now.
16:24
And and when when I die, can you just favour there's going to be
16:28
a strange boy come to the house and just give me diary, but
16:32
don't read it yourself. And then she starts reading it
16:37
and then he goes through about what she was actually thinking
16:41
and feeling during the whole journey of her going through a
16:45
terminal illness, which was quite, quite nice.
16:47
Because on the face of it, when you see her, she's always
16:49
laughing, smiling, bubbly and kind of like brushing off all
16:54
the bad things that happen. But inside, you know, she was
16:57
actually really scared. And she was doing this to kind
16:59
of cope with her herself, our mortality.
17:02
And then and then he cries at the end.
17:06
Yeah. I want to eat a pancreas.
17:09
Oh, and the the title of the film comes from at the start and
17:13
she forces them to like a like a restaurant thing where they
17:17
specialized in organ meat. And she's just like, Oh yeah.
17:22
And I think it was some ancient medicine where they were like,
17:24
if you had a bad liver, you would eat like animals liver to
17:28
get the nutrients or something to to become better.
17:31
And then if you accept bad heart, you eat hot whatever and
17:38
and so then I want to eat your pancreas is kind of like a thing
17:42
from that so. Yeah.
17:45
It's better than, I don't know, cancer dying girl.
17:51
Which was the working title. Young person dies too soon.
18:00
Horton with chemo, Yeah. And what on that cheerful note,
18:05
what were some of the highlights for you?
18:09
Also, how's the cola? I'm genuinely curious about how
18:12
how the cola remaining is. It's it's full sugar which I'm
18:16
not used to. I ran it with a been diabetic a
18:19
month because you never get in these boxes.
18:21
You never get sugar free stuff. I can't wait for your thingy to
18:25
be for us in a minute. It's it's not.
18:28
I've just changed it so it would for another couple of hours.
18:31
It's too much. It's free.
18:33
But no, it's a kind. It's like roller cola.
18:37
But I can't. Oh, OK.
18:38
Yeah, yeah, I quite like a roller cola.
18:41
Very syrupy. Yeah, yeah, it coats your teeth.
18:47
Yeah, very fuzzy in the mouth. But I'm I think that about
18:51
normal Coke Cola because I'm not used to full sugar stuff.
18:56
Branded. Not even branded.
18:58
Oh, sugar, sugar. Yeah, yeah, same.
19:01
I don't, I don't often drink like a full fat Coke, honey
19:06
handles of sugar anymore. Yeah.
19:12
So highlights for you in this film.
19:18
It had some Redeemer part of the storyline, like when she found
19:23
sorry, when he started reading the diary at the end where you
19:26
kind of explained some of our weird actions.
19:29
I mean, it doesn't explain all of them.
19:31
And if I was her parents, I'll be like what you do with real
19:34
life and how she's like, she is terminal.
19:39
And so she actually dumped my boyfriend because she didn't
19:42
want to be a burden on someone. And she?
19:45
Understood that the the loner guy who was got no empathy
19:51
didn't want to become her boyfriend because he didn't want
19:55
to invest his time in someone that he's going to lose, which I
19:58
know is is a weird thing thing, but it does it is a thing and
20:06
the animation was pretty good. I thought that you get the the.
20:09
Nice, yeah. Scenery.
20:11
I didn't think the music was bad and it was the main thing I
20:15
didn't like about it was the plot.
20:21
That's fair. For me, the highlight was that
20:23
so that in it they talk about the Little Prince.
20:25
Have you ever read or seen The Little Prince?
20:28
Do I look like a reader? With those glasses, yes.
20:34
With those glasses, yes. But the wrong kind of book.
20:39
What you read books? So the Little Prince is, I think
20:44
it's French, but it's in lots of different languages.
20:48
It's one of the most translated books ever to have been in
20:52
existence. I think outside of like the
20:53
Bible. It's like very wide, widely
20:57
loved and it's a children's story.
21:01
But I don't, I don't know. I think it's probably got less
21:06
plot than the Haines Manual, but it's much more heart warming.
21:17
And but it primarily it's a story about grief and loss.
21:21
And it's like like letting go. So the and and they talk about
21:26
that book. Both of it's for that.
21:27
Both of them have read and loved that book.
21:29
And it's one of the few things that they have in common with
21:31
each other because I think their relationship is defined by the
21:34
fact that they're very opposite people in lots of ways.
21:38
But they do throughout the film have like these little
21:40
touchstones of like things that where they see things the same
21:43
way or where they have like key, key common interests, like just
21:48
enough for them to start building like a genuine
21:50
friendship with each other. And at the end, So my favorite
21:55
bit is the bit where she dies. And I don't mean that in like a
22:00
shady way. I just mean that in like a, when
22:07
he's reading the diary, he sees it like you see her as if she's
22:12
talking to him, but the way that she's dressed and in the scene,
22:16
like the landscape that she's in, it's like very surreal and
22:19
space like, and that's very much like the, the images from the
22:22
Little Prince, like the original illustrations.
22:25
It's obviously like a nod to those.
22:28
And I really liked that kind of reference point because it's a
22:31
it's a book that is very loved by and by in particular by my
22:35
sib Soph, who has been on the podcast watching Dan to Dan.
22:42
So it's like one of their like, like strong childhood nostalgia
22:47
books. I think like it's very dear to
22:49
them. So like obviously I'm every time
22:51
I see anything remotely like the little Prince, I'm like, oh, so
22:55
so it's like I liked that bit just for the like nod to to to
23:01
the for the nod to the better story about loss and grief.
23:08
Yeah, but you're right. It is a very beautiful film.
23:11
Some of the sound soundtracks, all right.
23:15
It's kind of slice a slice of lifey.
23:21
But for me, I feel like this is like, if if you were going to
23:24
get like it's it just for me, this film didn't feel like it
23:28
had anything really like attention grabbing or unique
23:31
about it. Like, it felt like a bit like,
23:36
how do you write a sad teenage love story by numbers?
23:41
Yeah. And it's like, it's like romance
23:43
anime by numbers. And I think that, you know, the
23:45
most, the most dramatic thing is that she dies.
23:48
But outside of that is actually quite well.
23:50
And then there's some weird, so like there is some weird sexual
23:53
threat stuff that happens in a hotel room and then later in her
23:56
bedroom where she's decided that she wants to do something
24:01
naughty with someone that she doesn't love.
24:06
So as a prank tries to like, like I think emotionally
24:11
blackmail him into bed with her, which just didn't feel great.
24:15
Just as a whole sequence of events if it left.
24:18
Like it left me feeling like, oh, I'm not sure about this.
24:21
Which is why Chris and I have in fact looked up how old these
24:25
characters were. Yeah.
24:30
Yeah. I think, yeah, I think I know
24:34
exactly what you mean by the sad, evil kind of love story,
24:39
paid by numbers thing where they've tried to do that.
24:42
And I think on paper they've kind of got a story.
24:47
I can see what they're trying to do.
24:48
I just don't think it quite gets there with the with the plot.
24:54
Yeah, and with I agree. I mean, the things that took me
24:58
out of it was like, I know it's an anime and I know it's it's
25:03
not meant to be realistic and superb and amazing things can
25:07
happen, but it's just like what 17 year old can just go on an
25:12
overnight stay in a hotel on a whim?
25:16
And not just any hotel at a Hilton.
25:18
We're not talking like a Travelodge, Do you know what I
25:19
mean? Like.
25:22
With. Booze as well.
25:23
Like yeah, they're purchasing alcohol.
25:30
It is weird. It is weird.
25:33
Yeah. And took it out for, took it out
25:37
for us. Yeah.
25:39
Do you know, and I was thinking about this afterwards, there is
25:42
no reason that these two characters need to be in high
25:46
school. Like they could have been
25:48
university students and it would have been just like they
25:52
wouldn't have been any difference in terms of the
25:54
emotional payoff, which isn't bad.
25:57
Like I found myself when he like cries at the end for the and you
26:00
see him show emotion for the first time.
26:03
Like I had a moment where I was like, oh, oh, which for a film
26:08
that I wasn't enjoying is something a bitter growth, a
26:15
little bit of growth. But I do think, like, I don't
26:18
think they needed to be 17. Do you know what I mean?
26:20
Like it would have been just as tragic if they were 20 year olds
26:23
or if they were 30 year olds. Like it would still be too young
26:27
to die and might have actually have helped with a bit more of
26:34
the like. I don't know, it just might have
26:36
helped in a way. Yeah.
26:38
Because they could have been Co workers or something.
26:41
Yeah. I mean, do you have much
26:44
experience with romance animes? Would you say this is romance?
26:50
I would say this is definitely romance slice of life anime and
26:55
not a huge amount of experience to be honest like it does.
27:00
That's not that doesn't tend to be the where my anime attention
27:05
is drawn. That's fine.
27:06
I was just curious because even you with your with your tiny
27:10
little bit of experience is more than me because I've had zero
27:15
and. Oh, no.
27:16
And this was your first one. Yeah, it's like when Molly's
27:21
first anime. You've watched five times,
27:24
family. I I don't think that's a
27:28
romance. Anime.
27:29
I think that's a romance anime. I think it's a romance anime,
27:32
and I also think the other romance anime that I would say
27:34
is better than this is Sailor Moon.
27:38
They're both both of those. Both of those are anime where
27:44
the central point is is about some sort of romance between
27:48
characters. And then the rest is just like,
27:51
how are we going to tell that story?
27:52
Oh. Fair enough, but I was just
27:55
going to say, how do you think it compares to other other ways
27:59
like that of the same genre? Because if it was like a.
28:03
If it was like a Sean Hudden fight anatomy, I'll be like, Oh
28:06
yes, it ranks. It's fairly low or fairly high
28:09
in my scale, but what about yours for?
28:15
Yeah, I, I think it's quite low in terms of the ones that I've
28:20
seen. So recently I did start watching
28:24
one, which is about like a guy who works in his mum's bakery
28:28
and he has a very scary face. So everyone is always thinking
28:32
that he's like a hoodlum who is. And he goes to like a terrible
28:36
school with like all the like troublemakers.
28:40
And it's next door to like a really good, a really good posh
28:44
school. And then one day one of the
28:45
students from the posh school comes into the bakery and they
28:48
kind of have like a budding romance, but he's very slow to
28:52
catch on to what it is. And she's obviously desperately
28:54
in love with him. And also cake.
28:58
And I found that anime way like way more engaging than this for
29:03
some reason, but that on paper has less of a actual storyline.
29:10
But I think maybe it's also because I think the characters
29:13
in this, they're not that likeable.
29:16
Like, you know, she's she's, she's weirdly manipulative and
29:23
toxic and is dealing with her own mortality in a way that
29:29
feels really unhealthy and sad. He's desperately unlikable.
29:35
Yeah, I think so. I was, I was thinking about
29:41
Sacre and I think she's pushed all of her close friends and
29:46
people that care about that away but wants that kind of human
29:52
contact because she doesn't like being alone.
29:55
So she's. Kind of.
29:56
Using the Shiga he's called, Yeah.
30:01
And she's kind of using him as like AI still need human contact
30:06
kind of thing. But I don't want people to get.
30:10
I don't want to tell my close family that I'm dying because
30:14
apparently he's the only one I knew, obviously, besides her
30:16
parents I'm assuming. Yeah, well, he even at the end
30:22
he says like because he then has this weird interaction with her
30:26
best friend where you find out her best friend never knew that
30:28
she was dying. So he kind of also leaves.
30:35
She she kind of leaves him. So part of the reason she leaves
30:39
the diary with him because she's like, you can either share it
30:41
with people or not. It's up to you how like what you
30:44
do with it. But she kind of leaves like an
30:46
the emotional burden of sharing her bad news with him, which
30:52
feels, I don't know, just she just like fucking him over
30:57
again. It's terrible from beyond the.
31:06
It's all a bit weird. It's a bit weird.
31:08
And I don't know, like, yeah, I would.
31:13
It's yeah. I didn't love this film, I have
31:16
to be honest. No, Jordis, I was going to say,
31:22
would you recommend it? I wouldn't.
31:25
I wouldn't, I would really wouldn't.
31:27
And I can't think of anyone that I would recommend it to.
31:31
I might recommend it to someone who I know like specifically
31:34
like very sweet anime. So it like, but it is very,
31:41
yeah. In terms of the archetypes that
31:43
are in it, It feels, it doesn't feel like something that I would
31:46
want to be like recommending to someone liked like, yeah.
31:56
It tries to be a slice of life romance and it does neither
31:59
particularly well. I would say that's a very fair
32:03
cop. So can I ask very serious
32:06
question in this you, you've said just before that like the
32:12
reason it's called I want to eat your pancreas is because of like
32:14
this belief that if you eat like a pancreas, if your pancreas is
32:18
bad, then it will like heal you. And they also talk about like in
32:24
foreign countries. They don't say what what
32:27
specific country. It's just in foreign countries
32:29
there is a belief that if you eat the organs of other people
32:32
you like inhabit some of their spirit.
32:34
If you were going to eat an organ of someone, who would it
32:39
be and what organ are you picking?
32:41
Like what? What kind of like heart, liver,
32:44
pancreas? Like what are you going for in a
32:46
loved one, and which loved one are you going to consume after
32:50
they're dead? I don't know because most of my
32:54
family's organs are knackered, like me.
32:58
Dad's got diabetes, so it's me sister.
33:03
I don't know if it's can I just pick anyone besides a family
33:09
member? You know, it doesn't have to be
33:11
a family member, it just has to be like someone like anyone who,
33:14
Whose organ are you going to pick and which organ?
33:18
I was going to pick Lee's liver, but that's not the best these
33:22
days. I mean, he's put it through his
33:24
paces, but he hasn't. It's still working despite his
33:28
best efforts so. I would take his pancreas
33:34
because he's gave it some. It would have a pancreas
33:39
equivalent of a six pack because it's been worked that much so.
33:46
Especially after that time that he ate all those sugar free.
33:51
Oh yeah, no, they were laxatives.
33:53
Which is those? The laxative.
33:56
Like what are they called the laxative?
33:57
Gummy bears? Yeah.
34:01
Yeah. Good times.
34:03
Check out Top Gramps, The specifically the episode where
34:06
Lee tries not to shit himself. I can't even remember what film
34:11
you were watching at the time. I don't know because it was too
34:17
busy trying to, like I was trying to go really slow and
34:19
just talk and talk and you could see him sweating and sweating.
34:24
But yeah, he was not in a good way by the time that finished.
34:33
Yeah, OK, fair. Lee's Lee's pancreas you're
34:36
going for. Yeah, what about you?
34:39
Nice, good shout. I think I'd game the system and
34:46
do like Adele's vocal cords, you know?
34:50
Then you could buy anyone's organs because of the singing
34:53
money. Exactly.
34:55
And I could have a whole new body.
34:56
I could. I could have a Franken Thebes.
35:02
Oh, the legs of a gazelle. Oh, if you were going to pick a
35:12
body part from an animal, what body part would you pick?
35:15
Legs of a gazelle are good. Neck of a giraffe.
35:18
Can you imagine a nightmare for trying to find a bed that you
35:21
would fit in? Your arms would be the same
35:23
length. You couldn't reach you'd.
35:26
Have to be like, have you ever seen a giraffe try and get
35:31
something off the floor where they have to like splay their
35:33
legs out in order to createspace for their necks?
35:36
I love it. That's how I imagined I'd end up
35:41
brushing my teeth. I would pick gorillas on corner
35:55
of your back. Oh, OK.
35:59
You're going for additional limb, not as a replacement.
36:02
Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to handicap.
36:06
Why have you gone for gorillas arm and not monkey prehensile
36:09
tail? That's what I want to know.
36:11
You've gone gorilla arm. I'm sorry Phoebe, but an arm
36:15
stronger than the tail because if you want to hang from
36:22
something you get hanged for longer with a gorillas arm.
36:25
From the back, I'm just imagining like your body just
36:28
completely limp. But like hench gorilla arm.
36:38
Amazing. So on that note, we're not
36:43
recommending this film. We both got very easily
36:45
distracted while watching it and while talking about it.
36:48
Yeah. I mean, I didn't.
36:50
Watch this again. You're not going to watch this
36:54
again. Of course not.
36:55
No, no, no. You're.
36:58
Tempted, but that's fair. So next week I've decided we're
37:04
going to watch something very different.
37:07
It's been good. Well, I'm hoping so.
37:12
Also, though, about failing bodies.
37:14
We're going to watch Cells at Work Black Ops.
37:19
So we've both watched Cells at Work and it was one of our first
37:22
episodes and it was an anime that we both enjoyed way more
37:26
than we thought we were going to enjoy it.
37:28
The Black Ops one I haven't seen.
37:30
All I've seen are pictures of the white blood cell online with
37:34
just an impossibly ample bosom for a cell because it's their
37:42
their gender swapped the characters.
37:44
So the red blood cell is a guy and the white blood cell is a
37:49
lady in Black Ops. And instead of it being a body
37:54
of like which is in peak physical condition, this Black
37:59
Ops is supposed to be a body that's like been put through its
38:01
paces. So I feel like it will be more
38:03
relatable to us as we continue to celebrate all things body for
38:10
diabetes awareness month. We do body November.
38:16
Why not Bod Nov. Bod Nov.
38:22
Bod Nov. November D So yeah, black cell
38:30
cells at work, Black Ops. That's what we're going to watch
38:32
next week. Come back and join us.
38:35
Make this think of Call of Duty Black Black Ops.
38:39
It's, I think the vibe is probably going to be kind of
38:41
similar. I think it's going to be way
38:44
less cute, way more bad ass. Good.
38:49
I want to see them tackle the real issues that everyday
38:52
people, day people. I've, well, I've seen them, I've
38:56
seen on, I've seen on the, on the gram, they talk about it.
39:00
The there's an episode about alcohol and hangovers.
39:03
So I think you'll get your wishes.
39:07
What about? Does it explain why when I stand
39:09
up too fast I go really dizzy? I don't know, but it should do.
39:19
Can I explain a meat sweat? Can I explain menopause?
39:28
So Google phones, Phoebe. Wait, hang on, that gets Google,
39:34
but I entertained your I can't stand up without getting
39:37
lightheaded and dizzy because I'm old.
39:41
Sorry Phoebe, it's my month. OK.
39:51
I'm joking. I'm joking.
39:52
Laughter is being picked up on the on the microphone.
39:56
I don't think it is. So there's just going to be an
39:58
awkward. Silence after I say something.
39:59
It is. There's just going to be an
40:01
awkward. Silence because as you pointed
40:04
out earlier, I hate the big D, but also that you've been really
40:09
leaning into this this month and it's been making me laugh every
40:12
time you did. Like I've been getting messages
40:16
where where Chris is like cough cough my month cry face.
40:24
I can't believe you did this for my.
40:25
Month. Yeah.
40:29
When's your month, Phoebe? Every month's my month, babe.
40:34
I'm a queen. Fair enough.
40:40
Every month. That's the most confident thing
40:46
I've ever been able to save my life, and I'm loving it.
40:48
So we're going to end here. Thank you so much for
40:53
recommending this particular anime.
40:56
I look forward to seeing you again next week, and I hope
41:00
everyone else comes back. I hope everyone else comes back
41:04
to hopefully hear us talk about something with a little bit more
41:07
enthusiasm. But in the meantime, say, stay
41:10
gorgeous everybody, and make sure that when you are asked to
41:13
do blood tests that you go to the doctors and do those blood
41:16
tests. Happy Fridays, Yes.
41:22
It is Friday today.
