Manga Pulse 524: Burn it at Borders

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

What manga review show has two thumbs and two manga? Probably a lot of them actually but we’ll fit that bill for today. Though you know what we don’t fit? Those darn skinny jeans we keep getting sent to review from Aliexpress. Who in the hell thinks we want those and need to review them? Sure they make our package look fantastic but there’s more to life than a stunningly wrapped tackle.

Popcorn Pulse 230: 44 Kings

Take a look, there is no book. Because this isn’t the Reading Rainbow. This is Popcorn Pulse and we do movies. So how about a movie that was written by the same guy who did LA Confidential? You might remember it as the movie which got a lot of buzz back in the nineties. Going so far as to get Oscar noms. You can imagine a writer might try to get lightning to strike twice after that. Because everybody wants both Hollywood money and acclaim.

Manga Pulse 523: Inu Kai

Spooky season is upon us. Or at least it was at the time of recording. We may or may not have picked manga that corresponds with the time of year of pumpkins and costumes. Because we have the planning abilities of a local city council that keeps getting voted out every six months. Which might be justified because we keep trying to allocate the budget to building a statue to Shinzo Abe with a “Please have Sex” plaque.

What do you do with a drunken sailor? You could fine him and send him off with his purse a little lighter. Or, hear me out, you could give him a podcast wherein he talks about manga. Now, we may not be sailors but we have been on a boat and been intoxicated. So we should qualify as be brought a couple of manga.

Not much snark to go here so we’ll get right into the film. We’re going old school this time with Daredevil[2003]. Yes, one of the first Marvel movies before their studio was purchased by the house of mouse. And it’s over twenty years old at this point. Tuck your shirt into your highwaisted pants and let’s go to the buffet, old folks.

Manga Pulse 521: Pole Girl

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

We’re going to review a manga, review a manga. Like Johnny Two Times, we does everything double. Or perhaps like a cheeseburger that’s better with a second patty. You will enjoy our reviews and we will include the pickles no matter what you input at the kiosk. We just assume you made a mistake and will correct it at our convenience. And if we catch you throwing that pickle away? There will be onions to pay. Did we mention that someone got into the allergy medicine?

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.
