You wanna bet? The South Korean reality game show The Genius hit host Six like a ton of bricks, and ve quickly roped ver friend Allen into a watch podcast. But things aren't that simple... with every podcast, there's just as much competition as discussion of the episode. Host vs host challenges, small bets, and a running scoreboard as to who's "winning" the show. Welcome to The Garnet Wager. Here, we're always keeping score.

The Garnet Wager Episode 70 – Loud Fanatic, Quiet Spy (TDPS1E2)

God was not willing. That was not quite the end of an era. But we went from four months down to two, and next we'll go from two to one! Mark my words. With episode 2, we conclude the first day of The Devil's Plan, and... hey wait. There is literally a character called The Devil. What do you think the odds are that he has a plan of note? Or is just a fun name? I guess time will t

The Garnet Wager Episode 69 – We’re So Back (TDPS1E1)

God willing, this episode marks the end of an era. The era of these episodes taking FOREVER. We're planning to get on a more regular schedule- probably monthly, but no promises. Let's solve a mystery, gang. Let's watch a new show. Let's find out it's REALLY GOOD. We're so back. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager!

The Garnet Wager Episode 68 – Where In the World (EE9CSD4)

Well, we were feeling a bit down on the show we'd chosen to watch last episode. But this time, we had a much better time! Turns out, a little time and a positive attitude is all you need! Meanwhile, in the tabletop game, Allen and Nick are closer than ever, but FEEL more lost than ever. How will our GM get them back on the trail?! Well I don't know, I'll have to figure that out bef

The Garnet Wager Episode 67 – Nothing Happened (SG1E3)

The Garnet Wager Episode 66 – The Terrible Salisbury Truth (SG1E2)

Well, see... NOW it's a season of The Garnet Wager. I (Six) may not be any hotter on the show we're covering than last time, but the plot threads are being woven. We're solving a murder. We're talking to (fictitious) government officials. And who could forget the semi-headless chicken. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager! Please enjoy seeing Scanline-chan

The Garnet Wager Episode 65 – One Communal Shampoo (SG1E1)

The Garnet Wager returns to extend its reach beyond the confines of the Genius for another season of Korean TV, meta-narratives, and garbage. This season, we're watching Society Game, a product of the same mind that brought us The Genius. It's a slow start for this show, but perhaps this one can win us over. If not, well... I have some ideas, let's say. Our artwork is a commissi

Oops All Anime Episode 274 – The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, The Endless Eight

There are a lot of elements of Haruhi that loom large over culture. The characters. The dance. The nonlinear storytelling- well, of the anime, since the light novel doesn't do that. But there is one that is spoken of in dark tones: the Endless Eight. What if you essentially made the same episode of anime eight times, but with like... startling production value? It's a truly bizarre
