Our Isekai

This week on Our Isekai, we’re taking revenge to the movies. From John Wick’s bullet-filled rampage, to Jennifer Check’s demonic fury in Jennifer’s Body, to Cataleya Restrepo’s assassin tale in Colombiana, and the haunting beauty of Ballerina (2023, Korean revenge film) - we’re breaking down why revenge stories feel so powerful on the big screen.
But that’s not all. We’re bringing back our favorite segments:
Side Characters That Stole the Show – the underrated gems of revenge films.
Characters That Needed Therapy – because sometimes payback isn’t the healthiest coping mechanism.

Ship It or Skip It: Revenge Crossover Couples – pairing vengeance lovers across film universes.

What makes their vengeance so captivating? And why do we love watching payback play out on screen? We also run through the rest of our classic segments — from our hot takes on the latest news, to hilarious versus matchups, to Red Light/Green Light character ratings. As always, it’s part deep dive, part chaos, all fun.

No Ship It or Skip It this week

From psychotic spouses to wizarding world neglect, this episode of Our Isekai dives into the betrayals that shocked us, the side characters who ran off with the plot, and the movie icons who seriously needed social care—or a therapist with a clipboard and a budget.
 
We talk Rick from Rick and Morty, Amy from Gone Girl, and the man who sold everyone out in Dune. Plus, we crown scene-stealers like Ken (Barbie), Okoye (Black Panther), and Loki (Thor), and shine a torch on beloved weirdos like Gollum and Dobby.
 
In our Who Needs the NHS? segment, we call out everyone from Titanic’s Jack to half the Fast & Furious crew—because let’s be honest, someone should’ve checked in.
 
We close things out with:
•Red Light, Green Light – Harry Potter edition (Snape gets heated)
•This or That – the ultimate film face-offs
•Ship It or Skip It – chaos pairings and toxic ships
 
Tune in for wild takes, cultural critique, and debates that will definitely start fights in your group chat.
