Popcorn Pulse 227: Evil Vibes

Oh fuck. It’s recording day and we haven’t even read the assignment. Time to grab a slice of toast and then run to the APC we use to ferry ourselves to school. And by school we mean our jobs. By slice of toast, we mean an energy drink with a caffeine pill dissolved in it. By late we mean we’re on our way to Human Resources to tell them to suck a fat one. By fat one we mean that they’re invited to the farewell party for Sheryll because we don’t think anyone remembers the folks in HR. They do good work.

It’s one of the first books Oprah promoted so naturally it got a film adaptation. It’s about a lady named Beth though so that breaks all verisimilitude. Who names their kid Beth?

Unlike a certain movie character, you aren’t required to say our show name thrice to summon us. For that we will appear after only two. And even then it will only be because you subscribed to our feed or at least checked the website. So nothing like the striped man played by Michael Keaton. Though we both have had a Zagnut. Onto the manga.

Manga Pulse 519: Dr Freeze

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

What year is it, you might ask as you look over the listings for local movies. “The Crow?” You say, beleaguered and weary. The dust of sleep making you sound like Kermit the Frog while recovering from laryngitis. You should seek out those stalwart reviewers of manga to steady your nerves. Perhaps a good discussion of a pair of manga by a pair of hosts will settle your time vertigo.
