Popcorn Pulse 194: Toxic Faith

Captain, I’m getting readings of life from the planet below. Looks like it’s some sort of movie based society. They appear to consume a type of grass seed which has been heated until the moisture inside escapes. This is then given a fine coating of a churned animal fat, derived from their local cattle. It also appears as though this is consumed in ritual fashion while watching movie of any quality.

Manga Pulse 489: Skeleton Panties

Bubble trouble? Prepare for muggle and make is subtle. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but we’ve already used the Team Rocket speech in an intro as well as quoting the witches from Macbeth. Also coupons and buy one get one free. It’s been hell of a week and we just sort of phone it in once in awhile. Plus, how many of you read this anyway? Cue angry emails about everyone who actually sees these descriptions.

Popcorn Pulse 193: Mash Potatoes

You know what makes a movie work? Like really, really work? Is it well directed acting? A strong sense of shot composition or perhaps lighting? No, you film school snob. What makes a movie good is having a long dead pan voice over which lays out the setup and premise. Lucky for use there’s a great movie in Red Planet[2000].

Manga Pulse 488: No Express

Everyone likes to save a buck here and there. Some people do that by reusing things like sandwich bags. Others will take trips to the outlet mall and stock up on irregulars. To that end, you should stock up on our irregular reviews. By that we mean imperfect and not off of a proper schedule. Though we do sometimes have scheduling changes. Because we are imperfect but we try harder.

Manga Pulse 487: Double Sister

How many organs do people need actually? If you know and are some sort of organ expert, we need your feedback. Apparently the local prosecutor has decided that local children and obnoxious adults need ALL of them. They were clearly not using them based on their social media post history. When you repost MLM scams you’re signaling to the world that your kidneys are free to a good home.

Popcorn Pulse 191: Tundur Park

Before the made for streaming movies there were made for TV movies. Those still exist if you count Hallmark and other channels. Most are crap but every once in a while someone would put a nice modest budget together and see what happens. Which is how we got The Park Is Mine(1985) from HBO.

Manga Pulse 486: Star Bitches

Psst, hey kids? It’s Papa Disney here. You like Star Wars? Good, you like expanded universe stuff? Of course you do. No, we’re not bringing back the Zhan novels and integrating them into canon.

Popcorn Pulse 190: Dead Beer

Hey, I can hear the music that you’re listening to down there. Knock three times on the ceiling if you want a review. Was that a thump or a shout? Either way, we’re interpreting that as a sign to go forward with a couple of movie reviews. We kick off with a movie from the same people that can’t stop making the same phone over and over, The Greatest Beer Run Ever[2022].

Manga Pulse 485: Slayer Hime

How many demons can disco on the head of an angry flea? We’re going to isolate a flea and trap it in a summoning circle and find out. Oh shit. It turns out Himalayan sea salt only makes the demons angry. Now they’re busy revising HOA rules and running for PTA boards. Well, at least we’ve got manga to talk about.
