After all these years, we're still so thankful for all of the podcast listeners who joined us through our Cowboy Bebop rewatch. Let's hear from them again as we close out the anime with The Real Folk Blues, pt. 2: thebebopbeat.simplecast.com/episodes/the...
What's giving us the blues? The fact that we are almost done RE-rewatching Cowboy Bebop here on Bluesky ...the anime, that is. For The Real Folk Blues, pt. 1, we welcomed a true blue anime expert, Mike Toole. (Say "Blue" again.)

We could all use a mental health break right now, so let's take a look back at our "Hard Luck Woman" episode, featuring therapist, clinical social worker, and LCSW @noworldfortmrrw.bsky.social!
STILL some of our fave scenes and songs in Cowboy Bebop:

It's the only day you can post this:
Should we even share this episode? Is it worth sharing, knowing what we know now?
Once upon a time, the live action Netflix Cowboy Bebop was revealed during a TUDUM event, and we had all the hope in the world...

We've gotten a lot of feedback over the years that this ep is an audience favorite. Brain Scratch w/ Sarah Hightower takes a Cowboy Bebop story and roots it in real-life cults, including Heaven's Gate and Aum Shinrikyo. The story doesn't end in the 90's!

The conversation around vaccines has (UNFORTUNATELY) changed a lot since we recorded our Knockin' on Heaven's Door pt. 2 ep. The interview with Chise would be a powerful one to do over today, whether or not we were talking about the Cowboy Bebop movie.

"Remember when we met Commander Shepard??" -Lauren, every day, until we are all dead.
Kidding aside, Jennifer Hale was one of our best-ever interviews. So honored this voice actors' advocate stopped by the pod to discuss the Cowboy Bebop movie!

Black and pink Faye was on to something... but banana yellow Jet is truly unhinged work.
Recording this episode included a Cowboy Bebop board game playtest with a dozen (or so) Chicago-based gamers and anime lovers. We still have the games, though we admittedly don't play them very much. We need to get our hands on the TTRPG! thebebopbeat.simplecast.com/episodes/the...
So excited that people are still listening! This pod means so much to us. Thank you for the shout out.
The mystery is solved! Mocachu is the creation of one of Cowboy Bebop's key animators from another title, which explains how he could appear in our favorite show.
Jamie says, "He's always farting." Yes, important data.
This photo is from Yutaka Nakamura’s doujin series, "Incompleteness." It's Mocachu!
An anime screenshot. Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop sits next to Cowboy Andy. A red box in the background highlights a strange creature that looks like a Tamagotchi.
Been busy getting ready for Dragon Con, but here's that weird Cowboy Funk update we promised. This little guy- Mocachu, who has been spotted by Cowboy Bebop fans before- Jamie found its origin!! 🧵
Not only is Cowboy Funk Lauren's favorite episode of Cowboy Bebop, it also saw us collaborating with our forever friends from the @vintageanimeclub.bsky.social podcast! We also have A VERY COOL AND WEIRD ADDENDUM to this ep to share soon.

Mods are asleep, post Cowboy Bebop podcast eps!!
We had a unique pair of guests for Boogie Woogie Feng Shui. They were all about astrology, spirituality, and (checks notes) asking, "Who's your daddy??"
Thanks for this one, Sarah and Mario.

Real! Asteroid Blues is a great single-ep intro to the series. Pierrot le Fou is a great single piece of ART.
Ah, Pierrot Le Fou- easily one of the best episodes of the Cowboy Bebop anime, which would later become one of the most controversial points in the live-action adaptation. Let's revisit the OG with illustrator, author, and designer @seandove.bsky.social.

Can't wait to listen!! -Lauren
My podcast put out our Bebop episode today about how the show mourns found family. Thought you’d enjoy! youtu.be/VDadGWLhH8w?...
Wow, uh, we didn't record this episode THAT long ago, but the American space program (or lack thereof...) sure already feels different. Let's revisit Wild Horses with former Space Shuttle engineer, Travis Sauder. Giddyup! #CowboyBebop

Ten minutes til @animechicago.com's Tuesday anime showcase! I'll be in the chat for this one, but I highly recommend any event from this group to any and all Chicago weebs. It's the most professional and active anime club in the Midwest, if not the country.
Did you know? Wendee Lee has a flash drive with ALL of The Bebop Beat podcast on it! The voice of Faye Valentine (remotely) lit up our studio for the emotional "Speak Like a Child," and we recently thanked her in-person in Chicago. LOVE this femme fatale.

Finally, a Cowboy Bebop statue meant to be displayed in the dark!
(Wait, does the cigarette actually light up? Very cool if yes.)
One of Lauren's dayjob coworkers recently said he was interested in psychedelics. This made us think about our Mushroom Samba episode with Dr. Austin Lim! The use of these drugs is certainly becoming more normalized, but would you say so at work?? thebebopbeat.simplecast.com/episodes/mus...
After we met @steveconte.bsky.social, several other Cowboy Bebop musicians started saying "Yes" to our podcast. For "The Music of Bebop, pt. 2," we hung out with Raj Ramayya, Scott Matthew, and @composerose.bsky.social. Thanks, @strawberryhill.bsky.social! thebebopbeat.simplecast.com/episodes/the...
Can't believe how far we've gotten into this Bluesky recap of our Cowboy Bebop recap podcast! (Say "recap" again...) Today's episode is "Black Dog Serenade." Who better to speak on a film noir tribute than a film reviewer? Thank you, Ruben Rosario!
