We like to do theme episodes. Sometimes we choose them because of an actor’s passing. Sometimes a renewal of interest in a genre. This time we seem to have a theme but we couldn’t tell you why. Maybe there was a grip who worked on both of them. It’s a sort of mystery that’s outside of our pay grade.

It’s lunch time again. Grab your tray and get in line. You’d better have an idea of what you want. The menu is at the start of the line and you better have read it. Take too long and we send you to the back. If you don’t see it, we don’t have it. Looking for a shonen manga and it’s not under the glass? Then it’s not available today. Don’t like it, come back later. As for what we have today we’re only going to say this once.

Everyone, may I have your attention please? Listen up, I need everybody to stop what you’re doing. I’m Axel Foley, Federal Anime Inspector, everyone stop drawing, inking. Except for you, you finish up them tiddies. That is an anime girl with the boom, if you know what I’m saying. She’d better not be in high school or we’re going to have a serious problem.

Is it really that time again? Oh crap, we have to pick a manga. Or two. We could probably go through the requests. But that would take some sort of effort. Everyone knows we don’t ply effort to things like selection. That’s reserved for silly things like selecting the toppings for carryout or gently handling golf clubs. We did find two, in spite of the effort it took. We hope you enjoy the discussion they’re sure to prompt.

All aboard! Maniacal laughter echoing into the distance. What do you mean, don’t say that part? It’s written in the script you gave me. I don’t know what kind of amateur hour circus you have going here. You’re clearly hiring me to do a knock off introduction of Crazy Train which will probably get you copyright struck. I don’t care enough to fight you on it, I’m just paid flat rate to read what’s on the page. I’ll let you sort this out while I talk about movies.

We founded a new company. We don’t have a charter, funding, or any kind of plan. But we will be offering a Kickstarter. That’s still a thing, right? We pride ourselves on being on the leading edge of trends. See also our brand new NFTs.(Please note this is a joke and don’t worry that we are making NFTs far too late in the party.)

There’s a fascinating era of Hollywood where they just loved making Jack the Ripper into part of a film. This could often manifest as as garbage like Terror at London Bridge where Jack gets resurrected. Or Time After Time where Jack, played by the incredible David Warner, time travels to modern day Los Angeles and begins killing there. But how about a movie that references Jack the Ripper but does nothing with it? Enter, Jack’s Back (1988).

Looks like the boys are back in town. By that, we mean the two hosts you’ve come to know an love so, so much. And by town we mean the manga that evident by the title and number attached.

Price check on manga. I need a price check on manga. Yes, I am aware this is a supermarket price check gag and that it was old even back in the eighties. Which means it’s beyond not relevant to make one now. Maybe we could do a random department page over the intercom. Grocery stores still do that. They also do those funny announcements about security like that deters shoplifters.
