Anime Minority Report

Welcome to Anime Minority Report — where anime meets Caribbean spice and Boston sarcasm. Hosted by stand-up comedians Jamie Aird and Guerby Laguerre, two loud, proud, and nerdy sons of the diaspora who grew up watching Goku throw hands and wondering why villains always monologue. If you love heated Naruto vs. Luffy debates, wild plot twist theories, or dragging anime tropes that just won’t die, you’re in the right place. From anime deep dives to cultural hot takes, these two bring jokes, smoke, and some surprisingly solid insight. This isn’t your average anime podcast — this is barbershop energy meets Toonami nostalgia. Come for the laughs. Stay for the chaos.
