13. Absorb Humans; Meet Tempo; Throw Shoe; Profit

In a world where there’s too much to choose from on Netflix and the singles chart is filled with songs from Tik Tok, The Niche Guys are here to help. Allow Henry and Alex, two guys with a passion for lesser known media, to share some recommendations with you. Each episode we will both bring you a TV show/movie, a video game, an anime/manga, an artist/album and something miscellaneous, that you may have missed but should definitely check out. So join us as we explore all kinds of weird and wonderful content, try to only make one Simpsons reference per episode and let’s see how far the black hole of anime can go.

Here we are again with a Noah’s anthropomorphic Ark worth of lesser known media picks. In this episode Henry sells us on the anime equivalent of a Tarantino movie minus the weird feet stuff and creates Shonen Jump’s next big manga series. Alex sells us on the anime equivalent of Dark Souls and regales us with the story of his sad stag do run. And the boys suffer an existential crisis over what is truly retro and how much their backs hurt.

The Niche guys return for their brand new season, levelled up to the next generation and with all their skill points fed into Electrochemistry.

Alex acts on behalf of the American Censorship board to make sure our audience is protected from anime filth, and laments over Henry’s comparatively breezy experience buying a PS5.

The Niche guys return for their brand new season, levelled up to the next generation and with all their skill points fed into Electrochemistry. In this episode Henry talks about how good it can feel to be an absolute wreck of human-being and talks about ruining his own pleasant night walks with terrifying tunes. Alex acts on behalf of the American Censorship board to make sure our audience is protected from anime filth, and laments over Henry’s comparatively breezy experience buying a PS5. And the boys realise their favourite things are being covertly infiltrated by the musical equivalent of a serial killer.

11. Actual Lofi Hip Hop Cannibal

The Niche guys return with the last episode of their first season, ready to give you some friendly Giant Isopods of lesser known media, which hopefully don’t sting like a Executioner Wasp. In this episode Henry channels his inner Spice Girl and pushes Girl Power in multiple categories, and manages to insult Alex’s pick before he’s even had a chance to say what it is. Alex finally gives in to his own internal pressure by doing a Wrestling Corner for a wrestler he’s spoke about since the beginning and he rips The Big Bang Theory apart, theorising what if it was actually funny? And the boys reminisce about the podcast so far and nerdgasm over a literal Megazord Jellyfish.

10. Too Dumb To Live, Too Horny To Die

The Niche Guys return with another dip into the pool of lesser known media while trying to avoid that ominous cloud in the shape of Kirito's anime-ass head. In this episode Alex gets way too sentimental over a movie about a children’s game and warns you that you may in fact be already dead. Henry does some spectacular dance moves that only Alex was able to see and gives us a segment intro that you will want to listen to forever. And the boys inexplicably swap their very established roles and try to get into ‘beefs’ with as many fan-bases as possible.

09. Screw Hostess Clubs, Lets Play Tag And Start Beefs

The Niche guys are back after a slight delay, ready to slam dunk some lesser-known media you should definitely check out but also stopping to discuss the super real, not at all a troll, storyline of Space Jam 2. In this episode Alex’s soul leaves his body multiple times due to hatred for gacha games and scripted reality TV, and pitches something he’s not even sure he likes. Henry fanboys over two super talented but super different animators and refuses to talk about 'the level six curse'. And the boys rave about their love of accents without trying to be too offensive. ...Malakas.

08. Strange Madness & Human Sadness

Music is Art and so are Beefy Slaps  Despite technology trying to stop us like a thunder storm at Raymond James stadium, your boys stood steadfast in the rain to bring it to your ears, delivered like a beefy strike across the chest from an Austrian powerhouse with more heat in his palm than an active volcano. Fun meta fact as such; we had to record this over two different days. Can you guess where we changed from one day to another? Your prize for doing so is one less year in the brig. For real though apologies for any lapses in listening quality, but it got largely smoothed out for the second half at least.  In this episode, Alex tries to defend what is widely considered one of the worst endings in TV history and proves he’s a one trick pony by talking about wrestling too much. Henry loses it over his least favourite t-shirt design, presents his TED Talk on a musical sub genre of a sub genre of a sub genre, and uses the word aesthetic too much. And the boys lament the state of trying to purchase your first house wayyyy too much.

The boys are back with another remote recording! Technology fought them like Amazon fights you from watching its' more obscure Original shows, but they persevered and it’s here for your listening pleasure! In this episode Alex discusses his victory over scalpers and drops out of nowhere 90s references like he’s Randy Orton in bell-bottom jeans. Henry does Shonen Jump’s job in selling their new shounen hit for them and is horrified to discover Cartoon Network have bottled his essence and dispensed it into their show Close Enough.

Alex said last time: “If we were doing this on Zoom it wouldn’t be happening”, well it did anyway! Zoom is dead; long Live Google Meet! And we for one welcome our new reptilian conglomerate overlords. In this episode we discuss our varied Christmas experiences; one of pain and disappointment and one of fun and embarrassment. Also Alex tries to derail the podcast before it properly even begins. We're professionals, yo. (H: I totally got the order of our segments wrong. My bad, audience. And my bad Alex! Don't kill me I love you) Sorry for any scratchiness on the audio by the way - this was our first remotely recorded session and it's not the smoothest! Next episode will be better.
