Manga Pulse 561: Give Her Some of that Bat Love

It’s been hot folks. The depths of summer have arrived along with the heat. We’re living through some wonderful triple digits for those of us that use freedom units. The rest of the world can just be wrong and measure weather with an imprecise system made up by, gag, the French. You’d think that alone would be enough to convince the rest of the world to abandon it. Also, we still have manga reviews.

Popcorn Pulse 267: Citizen Offer

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It’s movie time for the Popcorn gentlemen. Which normally means a three-fer of a review. We like to shake it up every once in awhile and do two dual reviews. It doesn’t take us any less work but then you get less reviews. Or maybe you get better analysis because we’ve both focused on the two films. Rather than simply reacting to what the other remembers, infallibly, about their individual watch.

Manga Pulse 560: Happy Monsters

Bada bing, bada boo, we got a manga show for you. Yes, we could have said bada boom. It wouldn’t have had the same impact. Rhyming is paramount and what we were aiming for, after all. Not that it rhymed very well or anything. Look, we just have to get something down and desperation makes for a pushy mistress as the deadline looms. Either way, we still have a pair of manga.

Popcorn Pulse 266: Outbreak of Death

Hey guys, remember random monkey things? Like monkey pirate ninjas? Well what if they were carriers of a super infections disease that ate your face and turned you into a puddle of goo within two days? We sort of have that going on with today’s movie, Outbreak(1995).

Manga Pulse 559: XOXOXO Again

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Welcome to our fishery. Old Two Cut Tuna. Named because we always take two slices out for ourselves. It’s a tradition we started since we did manga reviews. At least that’s what we’d like to be called if we did guided fishing tours. Having seen the cost of boats and fuel, we’ll stick to manga reviews. With that, we have two like we often do.

Popcorn Pulse 265: Release the Butler

Open the hatch. Seriously, it’s damp down here at the bottom of the ocean and a bit cold. Plus we just saw bits of the Titan sub go floating by. We don’t want to have to wade through anymore of the compressed people bits than may exist already. The cleverer of you may have sussed out that the oceanic intro signals a water based movie. Which brings us to a Norwiegian film, Kraken[2026].

Manga Pulse 558: Girl Player

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Things are better in twos. Four wheels good? Two wheels better. Four legs good? Two legs better. That’s why our reviews come in pairs. At least for the manga. The movies are a whole other ball game inside a kettle of fish. Are we mixing metaphors and aphorisms? You betcha, because that’s two and two is better.

Popcorn Pulse 264: Fire Emperor

Welcome back to Manga review racing. Where we track the fastest manga reviewers. As this is the off season they’re going to talk about movies. Turning around we have something about pilots, planes, and a scowling Clint Eastwood. That’s right, a movie you’ve never heard of, Firefox(1982).

Manga Pulse 557: River of Shame

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Two is better than one, at least when it comes to coatings. You need a nice solid clear coat to protect your paint. And to keep that nice and safe, you should apply a nice sacrificial coating like wax. Our manga reviews are like that wax, our sacrifice for your entertainment. Going so far as to take on manga that’s requested as well.

Popcorn Pulse 263: Last Station

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Let’s start off with a joke. What comes after sunset? Knight time! What better way to segue into the movie we have. It’s all about knights but not the last one. Also it’s a tale about a knight but not a knight’s tale. It’s about the last ones, the Last Knights[2015], if you will. There was no more after this. They were all clearanced out and we moved on to things like surfers.
