It’s time to bring back tricorns. Or at least beating up the French. Those snooty wine chugging bastards like to get atop their high horse and tell you how much better they are. So how about a French film where a bunch of Frenchmen get assaulted by an American. And then by another Frenchman. We have Brotherhood of the Wolf[2001].

Everyone is lining up for the new manga pulse. Those people are suckers though. We won’t turn them away or refuse to take their money. We’re just letting you know the smarter play is to listen remotely from the comfort of your own home. Perhaps while drinking your preferential choice of beverage. Take heart that you’re not out in the cold, awaiting access to the empty warehouse we’ve convinced everyone is the recording studio.
