Popcorn Pulse 225: Fire Tess

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.

Manga Pulse 518: Mach Kill

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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.

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 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.
