Script 2 Script 11: 20,000 Leagues

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It’s about that time where we do a novel of Tim’s choice. He picked 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It’s the earliest book we’ve done thus far and a classic in science fiction. Plus any novel that opens up with a jab at Nebraska is alright in our book. Even better is knowing that some versions omitted it because the translators weren’t happy about it.

Our protagonist, Arronax, joins an expedition with a harpooner and his valet. They’re off to investigate reports of a narwhal that is striking and sinking ships. This journey is completely uneventful and Arronax spends most of his time swapping recipes with the crew while they sight see. Once they return to land, he publishes the first marine based cookbook and becomes wildly popular. Continue reading “Script 2 Script 11: 20,000 Leagues”

Popcorn Pulse 69: Napalm in the Wild

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

With the more recent explosion of superhero movies starting just after Iron Man proved that characters who weren’t sad about their dead parents could be a success, it’s easy to forget the genre is a bit older than that. In fact there was a period right after Burton reintroduces the caped crusader to the world at large that movies about super powers not based on the big two comic publishers began to crop up.

Episode 513: Attorney 35 Shiken Shoutai

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Another week another participant in the race for cohost, this time it’s Andrew Chan who brings a little European to the show.  He also has quite the introduction for us, one that even has Joseph happily chiming in. Speaking of the host, he’s doing rather well at his new job. Industry news comes in pretty late with topics like getting Otakus to run, and the top 10 anime of spring 2017. Reviews also run pretty long with Joseph jaunting through a magical academy’s story, and Andrew detailing in great depth why a video game about being a lawyer does not transition to an anime very well. Hope you went to the bathroom, because this is quite the lengthy trip.

Let’s make a wild hipster prediction. Tiny house breweries covered in reclaimed aluminum siding and vintage asbestos paint. What could be more retro and kooky than risking death be mesothilioma? Yeah, you’ve probably never heard of it. Look away as I ride my kickboard away in a flash of ninteies flannel and beard oils. Continue reading “Manga Pulse 364: Go Jo”

Popcorn Pulse 68: Frail Runner

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Being the pop culture savants we are, we decided to do a movie featuring Bill Paxton. Frailty[2001] is the directorial debut of the, somewhat, recently deceased actor who gave all the best lines to himself. It starts by being a backstory being delivered by Matthew Mcconaughey. He claims he knows who a serial killer is and relates a backstory about watching his dad murder people. It’s supposed to leave us wondering if they actually are acting as abrahamic paladins and murdering evildoers or if they’re just insane. Continue reading “Popcorn Pulse 68: Frail Runner”

Round 2, fight! Joseph welcomes aboard yet another who is trying out for the position of co-host, this time it is Roxas Lamprugne from the forums. After some brief introduction, we get IRL news from Joseph who has at long last landed a job! Then we move on to industry news about Dragon Ball being shunned, and people who think blaming fiction for their behavior is a reasonable defense. And to wrap things up is a joint review of Bones: The Anime, pretty but boring.

Let us remind you of how technological progress has erased minor inconveniences that people of a certain age group didn’t have to grow up with. Remember when the only way to send messages was private courier. These upjumped children and their newfangled universal postal service don’t know how easy they have it.
