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.

This week on Anime Pulse we got scrapped knees, adopting anime children, and a man made of chainsaws. Up first Joseph recounts the tail of how he ended up looking like he lost a fight with a bunch of rocks, and Andrew is curious to know what kids in anime you’d like to adopt if given the chance. Then in the industry news we have a final decision on what KyoAni plans to do with their old site after the arsonist attack, a lady thinks Oshi no Ko is about her dead daughter, and summer anime that are really going to mess with the norm. And finally we end on a Gattai as Joseph avoids being dragged into the hype for a man saw chain, and Andrew kills a yakuza member while searching for a place called heaven.

Manga Pulse 492: Inu Bak

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.

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.

Script 2 Script 32: Jaws

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Do we need to introduce this movie? The grand pappy of the summer tent pole film. The movie that made Spielberg a household name and helped launch a shift in the way movies were made. We bring a discussion of Jaws.

If you read the book, you went into the movie wondering where the dicussion of small town politics was. Or maybe you missed the affair between Mrs Brody and Hooper. All of this chaff is separated from the wheat in the movie and makes the film superior.
