It’s officially Fall. It’s still pretty warm around us, hitting the high eighties and low nineties. But we’re seeing the leaves change and hoodies come out of storage. Which can only mean we need to be on the look out for the pumpkin spiced liquor of some kind. As is our tradition. Worst case we get pumpkin spice vodka and have fall shots. In the meanwhile, we have a pair of manga.

What if you were a cop but racist? That’s the bold thought experiment that Hollywood dared to ask with the movie Heart Condition(1990). But, stay with us here, what if he were a likable schlub who learned the error of his ways? So you cast Bob Hoskins as a cop who gets a heart transplant from Denzel Washington who now haunts Hoskins. Also they were both in love with the same prostitute who used to have a heroin problem. Nothing you haven’t seen before.

By now you’ve probably heard about Dolly Parton’s passing. She was very big on getting children into reading and reducing illiteracy. In that case we’re going to continue to promote literacy by reviewing manga. That may sound completely disconnected but we’ve go nothing in the tank this week. Take this intro for the place holder they usually are and we’ll move on to the manga summaries.

We’ve got three movies as we often do. What we don’t usually have is a movie that has three titles for a joint review. So without a lot of ado we’re going to talk about The Scoundrel’s Wife[2002](Also The Home Front or The Smuggler’s Wife). You should be able to find it to watch on the Tube. The director had a 4K restoration done and made available because it’s basically unwatchable otherwise.

You there, are you a resident? Move along then. This isn’t a park for everyone., No, I don’t care that your kids are bored and the park is farther away than this. This is a common area for residents only. And there’s no skateboarding or bike riding allowed. You aren’t going to leave, huh. Well if you sit real quiet and listen to this review of manga or two, we won’t trespass you. Hey, where are you going?

It’s been a very busy week. People constantly running around, doing things. Having all sorts of consequences. Honestly we’re happy that it’s been as calm as we can hope for as summer winds down. We’ll just be glad to not have to run the air conditioning all the damn time. Maybe have an excuse to wear a hoody outside and take along our concealed manga. But that’s a whole other show. We have Vengeance: A Love Story[2017].

It seems there’s another superhero movie out and we need to watch it. Who’s making this demand of us? No one in particular that we can point to. It’s just a sort of need. We can feel it. They call to us. Like the pirates of a certain ship in a much better movie. So we watched Supergirl[2026].

We recently were watching a show, a British show, where the host cheekily complained about making so many custom intros for their show. Wow, that must be a lot of intros that they’ve done. Let us look up and take count. Two hundred, that must be a lot. If you’re some sort of amateur. We beat the pants off of that. Of course we forgive the anglo for thinking they work.

Summer time when the manga is easy. At least as easy to come by as it always is. Not that we would ever let any kind of difficulties get in our way. We’re not so easily kept from our task of manga review. Grab some sorbet and pop in your headphones because we’ve got two manga and a couple of scores to give them.
