Popcorn Pulse 200: Godfatha

Two hundred episodes all about movies. That deserves somethings kind of special. Or, as they say in the land of surfing and wanna-be actors, special. So we decided to sit down and do what is considered one of the top films of all time. Kangaroo Jack.

OK, no, we did The Godfather(1972). It’s got a laundry list of actors you know, some before they were big enough to become parodies of themselves. Brando putting in a legendary performance that looms over everyone. A stray cat, just being a stray cat in the hands of the titular Godfather. A horses head in the bed of a Hollywood producer. Something that should happen more often until the quality of movies turns back around and starts not sucking.

Manga Pulse 495: Yankee Dance

Let’s see what we’ve got for another joke about twos. Hmm, perhaps something about wild deuces? That’s a sort of poker term, we think. Does that mean we’ve made the blind or the double blind? Well then, you’ve sunk my battleship. Prepare to go fish and go for all the marbles. Unless your hippos aren’t hungry enough to handle it.

Popcorn Pulse 199: Jet Girl is Hotter

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Imagine it’s the late eighties or early nineties and you’re a movie producer. That director with daddy issues that looks kinda like he’s in the cure just made a mint by adapting a little comic called Batman. You thought it couldn’t work because you remember Adam West and the wacky utility belt. But that dude made it work. So you scramble around looking for cheap rights to some of them comics the kids are clamoring for but you don’t want to spend all your coke money. So you pay pennies on the dollar for Tank Girl(1995).

Let’s see how many mangas do we have? Let us count them out. Slowly so we don’t lose our place. One manga. Ah, ha, ha, ha! Two, two, mangas? Ah, ha, bah, glargghhh! Drowning in irony jokes. Just one second. Kackkk! OK, I think I hacked it all up. Yes, we have two mangas as usual for your approval. Or not. We’re not your dad.

Popcorn Pulse 198: All Things Now

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Oscar season has come and gone and left us with little to talk about. That’s because we don’t care about the awards because we’re not professionals. At least that’s our excuse. Still, one film dared us to talk about it with all the sappy reunion stories leaking like yogurt out of that hooker we paid in two thousand seven. We have Everything Everywhere All at Once[2022].

Manga Pulse 493: Embarrassed Bro

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

How many language can mangas come in? That depends on how you slice it. If you’re being a bit of a pedant and talking about the source, it’s probably Japanese only. Otherwise you’d call it by the local name like manhwa or manhua. If you’re talking about translations from the source, then however many languages you can translate into. Here we are, solving problems and answering questions.

Popcorn Pulse 197: Quiet Rain

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

With Weltall’s impending trip to the land of the rising sun which illuminates the tentacle porn, we figured a movie about Japan would be just right. It’s from the eighties if that helps and isn’t a comedy. It’s also not weekend at Bernie’s though that’s been requested over seven hundred times. We figure that’s an outlier from a rabid Terry Kiser fan. If you’re reading this, Gerald, we’ll get to it if and when we choose.

We’re just going to cut to the chase and say we have a couple of manga. Normally, we’d hem and haw a bit before getting to the point. Perhaps we’d even hee and haw a bit. Pour moonshine then get a little tipsy before following the point off a cliff. Oh my, there seems to be a Mason jar with a spirituous liquid nearby.

The journey into the æther is complete. We should have all the episodes accounted for.

Script 2 Script 33: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

We want to break things up with an adaptation from comics with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. We’d both seen the movie in the theaters and found it enjoyable. So when we heard a lot of the fans of the comics were annoyed by the depiction, we added it to our list.

Britain needs to assemble a nineteenth century collection of superheroes drawn from public domain fiction. We agree that the comics are better thought out and the characters are a bit deeper. But we can’t help but like the movie for being fun.
