It’s a bonus NAFC episode with just Izzy and Mox this week, and things get heavy fast. The two start by spiraling into the pursuit of immortality by the ultra-rich—what’s actually happening now, what’s pure sci-fi cope, and what the future might look like when billionaires refuse to die quietly.

From there, it’s full spoiler territory as they do a deep dive into Zootopia 2, unpacking themes, surprises, and whether the sequel earns its existence. They follow that up with another spoiler-filled breakdown of The Pitt Season 2, digging into character arcs, narrative turns, and where the show might be heading next.

It’s focused, unfiltered, and very much not safe if you’re behind.

This week on NAFC, the crew checks back into animation, anime, and the never-ending content machine. They talk The Legend of Hei 2 and why it continues to punch way above its weight, both visually and emotionally.

The conversation branches into the state of modern isekai—what’s working, what’s exhausted, and why some shows still manage to stand out despite the genre being strip-mined to hell. Netflix’s push toward second-screen content also comes up, raising the question of whether anyone actually wants more distractions while watching something they’re already half-paying attention to.

They also touch on the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc and what it means for the series going forward, while Izzy checks in with thoughts on Murderbot and The Pitt.

Then they settle in and properly dive into The Legend of Hei 2 (2024)—relationships, scale, animation flexes, and why it hits harder than most big studio releases.

This week on NAFC, the crew circles around a bunch of current watches and games before settling into something far more unsettling.

Izzy runs through what he’s been checking out lately, including The Pitt, the newest Superman movie, Predator: Badlands, and Spider-Man: Far From Home, bouncing between blockbuster fatigue and cautious optimism.

Mox brings some game updates with Shape of Dreams and Ball x Pit, while Gibbs checks in on Welcome to Derry and whether it actually justifies returning to that cursed town yet again.

Then the gang jumps into Burning (2018)—a quiet, simmering psychological mystery that refuses to give easy answers and dares the audience to sit with the discomfort.
