This week on the podcast, Nigel and Tazziii are joined by Vik Deluca from Mega City Comics (at 34:00) as they delve into the futuristic world of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. In this 10-episode season retrospective, they explore the tragic themes of corporate greed, doomed relationships, and the desire to be special.
Set in a visually stunning anime adaptation, the story follows a headstrong protagonist and a group of mercenaries known as “edgerunners” as they take on dangerous jobs in a world where technology has advanced beyond human control.
In addition to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, we’re also enjoying a variety of other stories, including Diablo IV, Dungeons & Dragons, Sweet Poolside, Link Click, Servant, Jedi Fallen Order, God of War Ragnarok, Red Flower Stories, Umbrella Academy, and Hustle.
