The World is My Burrito Podcast
Reviews and deep dives into Japanese and American pop culture's effect on history, the history of genres and franchises, and philosophy behind and within said content. I'm just a guy trying to justify his library and TV watching habits.
Episodes
Join Zack, Mike, Jose, and myself as we conclude Alien: Earth season 1! We hope you enjoyed our terrible discussion on xenomorphs, ovomorphs, the T-Oculus, synthetics, hybrids, robots, Weyland-Yutani, Prodigy, and all the other buzzwords that might get this podcast noticed!
Here's the Cinema Villains site!
In this episode I am once again joined by Zack and Mike from The Neatcast to discuss all of the synthetic shenanigans featured in Hulu's newest episode of Alien: Earth. We talk about them practical effects vs CG, some of the great writing, some of the terrible writing, and how to properly mow your lawn! (it's relevant, I swear).
So, if you like Futurama, check out our ramblings! (also relevant, I swear)
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a cosmic horror beyond description! Zack, Mike and I break down the newest episode of Alien: Earth! Episode 6: The Fly.

ONCE AGAIN join myself with Zack and Mike from the Neatcast as we talk about Ridley Scott and Dan O'Bannon's grandchild, Alien Earth. In this episode we cover a bunch of the xenomorphs, ovomorphs, and all kinds of wacky aliens aboard the Maginot. Also, I guess we talk a little about Morrow and Eva Mendez at home.
This episode comes with Authentic Space Noises! Don't ask.
These taquitos are too big, so they're just gonna be classified as Let's Taco 'Bout epiodes! Join Zack and Mike from The Neatcast as we talk about Alien: Earth episode 4, featuring Xenomorphs, synthetics, thought provoking dialogue, and crazy stuff!
Based on stuff by Ridley Scott and Dan O'Bannon, Directed by Ugla Hauksdóttir (Icelandic awooga awooga) written by Noah Hawley + Bobak Esfarjani.
In this episode I interview author Nicholas Keating Casbarro about his debut novel, Vitalerium: Descent Into the Void.
I read the novel prior to the interview but, honestly, you could probably get away with listening beforehand. There isn't really anything important spoiled despite my best efforts.
Please reach out to Nick and check out his content using the following links:
Join Zack (Neatcast, PodAss) and I as we talk about the newest addition to the ALIEN franchise, ALIEN: EARTH, which takes place 2 years before Ridley Scott's original film. We talk about all the xenomorphs, facehuggers, synthetics, Weyland-Yutani, and all that other dumb stuff. This is not very organized but is very stream of conscious. It's late. Don't ask questions. But please feel free to provide any opinions or i...
Check out the followup episode to Battle Royale where I chat with my friend Luke about his first watch of Koushun Takami and Kinji Fukasaki's timeless classic.
In this episode I cover the Koushun Takami's Battle Royale novel, film, and manga adaptations.
In this short I cover the long lost and incomplete tale by Japanese titans Mamoru Oshii and Satoshi Kon.
This is the episode where I perfectly and reasonably explain my delays in new episodes, cover some vidja games, talk about modern animation, and whatever else I want because it's 2025 bay-beeeeee!
Today I cover the 2003 animated Christmas movie by legendary director Satoshi Kon, Tokyo Godfathers. This is barely a dive into the issues and treatment that plague our characters, namely the homeless and transgender. Be sure to check out The Wait For It Podcast's review, too!
Mike and I discuss his 2024 horror viewings because I needed some QUALITY content.
In the 21st century, overpopulation has become such a problem that scientists begin preparing for the colonization of Mars. Their first steps in the terraforming of Marsinvolve seeding the planet with moss in order to absorb the sunlight and create a hospitable atmosphere as well as increase the surface temperature. They also introduce cockroaches in order to spread the moss.
500 years later, in the year 2599, a crewed mission is se...
In an attempt to colonize Mars, 21st century scientists are tasked with terraforming the planet. Their goal is to seed the planet with a modified algae to absorb sunlight and purify the atmosphere, and cockroaches, whose corpses spread the algae across the planet as they feed, breed, and die.
Five hundred years later, the first crewed ship to Mars lands and its six crew members are attacked by giant mutated humanoid cockroaches with...

Yo! Welcome to The World is My Burrito AKA TWIMB, a podcast where I drown myself in a puddle of a topic, discover how deep that body of water goes, then drown myself even further for weeks on end to create content for listeners like you.
Today we’re gonna cover Osamu Dazai’s 1948 novella No Longer Human, 2 of its 3 translations and the Junji Ito and Usamaru Furuya manga adaptations.
Join me in this short thought about the point in media when diversity kinda loses its... diversity. All from the lens of the Horizon video games. It's fun to keep in mind when consuming books, comics, video games, whatever! Let me know what you think about it.
The year is 2015!... no, 1959!... wait, maybe it's the 60s? Nobody knows. Anyways, you've recently learned what the hell a "titan" is but some jerks in an office have known FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY! Join Zack and I as we travel to Hueco Mun- er, Axis Mundi, San Francisco, some Pacific Islands, and Japan, all the while figuring out what the hell Kurt Russel and "Gackt at home" are doing or have done or w...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
