They also do those funny announcements about security like that deters shoplifters. Tim has Blade of Retribution. It’s about a Korea, Shiho, who’s a Kendo master. His sister heads off to college in Seoul. Then she dies and he decides to investigate because she wrote the infinity symbol in her journal. This … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 514: Blade of Mother"

Popcorn Pulse 220: No Hawk

It’s Monday, folks. At least when we’re recording. It also is often when we post because that’s our schedule. But even if it’s one of the other six days of the week, treat it like it’s Monday. By that we mean groan, clock in not more than a second before you’re obligated, and glare at the first people you interact with. Then brace yourself for discussion of movies. We start us off with Hudson Hawk(1991). Depending on how long you’ve been familiar with the man, you might better recognize him as Mister Action star with the patented glower of someone who has less than a minute to get to the … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 220: No Hawk"

Oh my goodness, things are moving along again. That means a post is due. Have we done something about leaves being raked? Does that work for anything? No? Crap.

Popcorn Pulse 219: Freeway Wars

Two households, both alike in dignity. In fat America, where we lay our scene. And that’s about all we can figure to work in a Shakespeare reference in the few minutes we knock these out. Besides we wanted to get a little classy before we tackle an A24 movie. Yup, we watched Civil War[2024]. If you’ve seen the trailers, then you’ve got some expectations as to what we’re in for. War scenes, bad things happening, and lots of explosions. Instead, you’re treated to a civil war in the US happening because reasons. And we follow ‘journalists’ as they try and get to the White House to get an interview with … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 219: Freeway Wars"

Manga Pulse 512: Red Secretary

If you’re reading this then you’re probably hearing about all the issues on website posts. Which is ironic because the only way this shows up is that the issues are resolved. One of those kind of funny paradoxes where you get to hear about it for the next couple of episodes now that it’s all done. It’s kind of like getting the results back from a cancer screening after you’ve already had surgery to remove a growth. If it helps, we’ve been keeping up with the recordings at least so we have manga. Tim has Since the Red Moon Appeared. The title is a bit explanatory.

Popcorn Pulse 218: Cruel Road

Everyone has heard the word in Hollywood. That word is exploitation and shady sexual favors. Wait, that’s not a word. The word is remake. That thing we’ve been complaining about long enough to wear out a couple of presidents. Hollywood is nothing if not persistent in their endeavor. Once they’ve bit down they will do a death roll until everybody has drowned. So we’re talking about a remake with Road House[2024]. Jake Gyllenhaal is literally not me as a replacement for Patrick Swayze. Whereas Swayze was a vaguely unexplained tough guy, Gyllenhaal is a disgraced MMA fighter. He gets randomly gets found by a small bar owner from the Florida … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 218: Cruel Road"

Manga Pulse 511: Fool Land

Suddenly there was a shout. The maid pointed towards the entryway. “Look out, he’s got a nug!” She bellowed. We discovered afterwards that she had long been diagnosed as having too much black bile and that lead to a curious condition. A transposing of letters in her speech and reading. This did not affect her day to day for what maid needed to be properly lettered as she polished the silver. Still we were taken aback by the presence of two manga. Tim has Fool Night. Not a night that’s jam packed with jesters, jugglers, and other jovial jackassery. It’s sometime in the future and the world is covered in … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 511: Fool Land"

Because we’re on a trip through history and film with Vivacious Lady(1938). Jimmy Stewart plays a professor who meets a nightclub performing girl, Ginger Rogers. They hit it off instantly and get married just before heading back to Jimmy’s home. He’s a bit spineless so he hasn’t told his dad that he’s a married man and hasn’t even consummated.

Popcorn Pulse 214: Cube-age

Wait, is that a box? What’s in the box? No, really, what’s in the box? You’d be forgiven for thinking this means we’re talking about a well known and referenced nineties movie. We are talking about a movie that was part of the “have to watch” if you were slightly into film in that era though. Featuring a no-star Canadian cast that can’t help but beg for a box of Timbits and subpar coffee with every meaningful glance. Which can only mean the box we referenced prior has to be part of Cube(1997). The premise is fairly simple. There’s a bunch of cube rooms connected to other cube rooms.

You know those cooking shows where they bring on the absolute worst people? Like, they find someone who was born without a sense of taste because they were raised on a steady diet of pizza rolls and hot cheetos. Then they give them a kitchen stocked full of ingredients and let them loose. Neither do we but we’d like to see it happen. Especially if they were forced to try and remake something akin to their favorite food. Luckily we have a couple of manga to make up for the lack of what could be on TV.

Being a scifi novel, there’s a lot of backstory that Lynch wasn’t really able to fit in.

Manga Pulse 504: Chou Bachi

Alright. We’ve got two sample bottles of scotch and two mangas. No funny business or running gags. No diversionary little anecdotes that are about as pointless as a marble.

Looks like we’re lining up for a long drive. We’ve settled on a driving club. A number five; five or maybe six. A very nice medium range club with an excellent driving force that’s a little dated. Certainly not the choice of some of the top players but very popular among the amateurs hitting the links. Tim hasn’t gotten his on the green so all Weltall has to do is avoid the sand trap and he’ll be within the his strength, the short game. Weltall has My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness. This is one of those autobiographical mangas written by a mangaka who doesn’t seem to have done anything else. … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 499: Alcoholic Lesbians"

Manga Pulse 498: Inside a Sandwich

We are like cardboard. Not because we are now made with up to thirty percent less material than previously. Because we are two flat sheets sandwiching corrugated paper. Also, we don’t stand up well in the rain. But that’s more because we’re from drier climes where water falling from the sky is of the devil unless it’s frozen. That’s a completely useless way of telling you that we have two manga again. Tim has a revisit of Kekkaishi. This time it’s an omnibus covering the first three volumes. A little recap is there are two families which banish evil spirits. They guard a magical place which happens to be underneath … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 498: Inside a Sandwich"

That was clearly the best possible children’s toy to adapt. Anything less will fall short. Either way, we’re just thrilled that people are once again talking about Life-Size[2000]. We know it’s not the movie you were thinking of when we said doll and movie. We still watched the Lindsey Lohan and Tyra Banks vehicle.

Up first Joseph is suffering the heat the best he can, talking about his meal from Iron's Edge and Andrew doubles down on the heat with Hot Takes after giving some thoughts on Fire Emblem Engage. Then in the industry news the kid who more or less started the sushi terrorism trend receives a hefty fine, and the trailer for One Piece the Netflix dropped and it is indeed a trailer for a movie. And finally reviews have Joseph returning from being isekai'd only to find he's become an uncle, and Andrew refuses to get in the giant robot again to fight angels.

Let’s see how many mangas do we have? Let us count them out. Slowly so we don’t lose our place. One manga. Ah, ha, ha, ha! Two, two, mangas? Ah, ha, bah, glargghhh! Drowning in irony jokes. Just one second. Kackkk! OK, I think I hacked it all up. Yes, we have two mangas as usual for your approval. Or not. We’re not your dad. Tim has World Piece, an OEL from Viz. Lucas is a basketball player and, may god forgive me for saying it, a Canadian. There’s a local school building that disappeared and his mother is an archaeologist inspecting the site.

Popcorn Pulse 198: All Things Now

Oscar season has come and gone and left us with little to talk about. That’s because we don’t care about the awards because we’re not professionals. At least that’s our excuse. Still, one film dared us to talk about it with all the sappy reunion stories leaking like yogurt out of that hooker we paid in two thousand seven. We have Everything Everywhere All at Once[2022]. It’s a film featuring “multiverses” in the same way other science fiction films softer than cottage cheese in the Phoenix sun contain “science”.

Manga Pulse 493: Embarrassed Bro

How many language can mangas come in? That depends on how you slice it. If you’re being a bit of a pedant and talking about the source, it’s probably Japanese only. Otherwise you’d call it by the local name like manhwa or manhua. If you’re talking about translations from the source, then however many languages you can translate into. Here we are, solving problems and answering questions. Tim has Rojiura Brothers. We start off with Tetsu who is in love with the mangas about delinquents. Specifically the kind of guys who wear their school uniform loose and get into fights on the street over honor while respecting each other.

Popcorn Pulse 197: Quiet Rain

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. We have Black Rain(1989).

The movie cuts quite a bit, including the rather important harpy tits dangling all about. It was made in the early eighties and it’s usually noted as being animated by Topcraft.

Popcorn Pulse 196: Supa Burnt

We broke down and inserted another coin to enable two player mode. That’s right, we went and dual reviewed the Double Dungeons Dragon movie. Or maybe we just went and saw The Super Mario Bros Movie[2023]. In spite of all the internet whinging that Chris Prat was voicing Mario which was surely a sign of how the west has fallen and millions must die. What can we really say about it? It’s an Illumination movie that doesn’t induce suicide. Prat does fine as Mario. Ana Taylor-joy does OK as Peach. Seth Rogen is there and should probably not. There’s a lot of references to the game and pop songs. The … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 196: Supa Burnt"

Manga Pulse 491: Mango Climax

Welcome to another episode of Mango Pulse where we consume and rate the world’s favorite fruit. We recently tackled the controversy of Kent mangoes and the low score received by Randy’s Fruit Stand. We stick by our opinion that they’re a little biased because they get ready access to the host’s orchard of Tommy Atkins, a notoriously finicky but rewarding variety. Stepping aside from controversy, today we’ll be diving into the Kesar variety. Excuse me? What do you mean “Manga” not “Mango?” What the hell kind of fruit is a Manga? Well, never mind then.

Popcorn Pulse 195: Scent of Cocaine

Hey there everyone, have you ever just felt so good? Like really so good? Like that the sun could go nova and wipe all life off the face of the earth and leave only the smolderiest of craters where only politicians and cans of RC cola survive and you just feel great anyway? It may or may not be because we found an errant package of cocaine recovered from a southern state after making a pilgrimage to visit the inspiration of our movie. Yes, we have Cocaine Bear[2023].

This week on Anime Pulse we got recording early on an Easter Sunday, the most un-responded to community topic, and cool French medals. Up first Joseph thinks back on Easter bygone as he fills us in on his completion of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, and Andrew is preparing to travel so we end up doing a much earlier show.

Manga Pulse 490: Die Kaaaaaaaanan

Long days ago, when the nights were long and the game was slim. Great bookstores used to roam this land. We hunted them for their manga collections. Kodansha, Yen Press, even the lesser Tokyo Pop. All were plentiful. Something has changed and now we scavenge a barren land for the remains of those we used to hunt. Weltall has a revisit of Pansuto.

We pick up with Robonik who’s been trapped in the Mushroom Zone, fidgeting with the remains of his Egg Mobile. With a single quill of Sonic to keep him sane, through self administered shock therapy.

Manga Pulse 465: Servant Seduction

Double double, review some trouble. Pickup two manga and prepare for scrungle. This is why you invest in a good rhyming dictionary and don’t rely on some weird website that’s user generated and maintained. Because then the porn bots get in there and muddle it all up with gibberish. Tim has Servant X Service. Which is a brick of a manga that’s done in 4koma style. Unlike many of those we’ve reviewed, this has something of a plot. It’s about people working in the public service sector of Japan. It starts off with characters who are a bit one note and transitions into something of a office romance comedy. It … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 465: Servant Seduction"

Popcorn Pulse 169: Untouchable State

Twice as nice for have the price. That’s our movie review deal and you’re getting whether you like it or not. We’re taking a trip back to the days where people went over to stores to rent movies for a couple of days. This is because movies hated us just as much but they still needed our money. And they couldn’t just hook up the milking machine like they do now. That’s right, the nineties which people swear is the worst decade but only because they preferred the eighties. We dual review the Costner vehicle, Untouchables(1987). It’s about the kooky time when America decided that having fun should be illegal. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 169: Untouchable State"

Manga Pulse 456: Finger the World

I bet you can feel a little something in the air. No, no the slight chill that’s not driven away by the light of day. Nor the soft sigh of wind as it carries leaves right into your yard not moments after you raked the last damn pile. It’s the time of the week where we review manga instead of movies. It does happen though. Tim starts off with Finger Girls. It’s a manhua that is not about a random groper who offers surprise gynecological exams on the subway. Our guy is average and has a crush who wants to meet him on the roof in the morning. Unfortunately his life has been … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 456: Finger the World"

Another year, another harvest of actor deaths. We definitely don’t take advantage of this to choose movies or anything. It’s certainly a tribute to their craft. Yes, that’s what we’re going to go with. Who to pick this week? Fuck. We didn’t think that far ahead. Art Metrano it is. We jointly talk about Malibu Express(1985). One of the first movies by Andy Sidaris. A man famous for putting in gratuitous nudity, guns, and explosions. The main character is Cody. He’s a private investigator who’s on his first case investigating or maybe guarding a family. There’s someone stealing chips from the US and selling them to the Soviets.

Even losing a whole bunch of weight is reserved for nut bags who snort ground up Oscars. So what the hell was Russel Crowe thinking in Unhinged[2019]? Our main protagonist is Rachel, life’s butt monkey.

No small amount of it has been decent to good books being turned into movies that are best described as “free, please take”. Is this a problem with trying to cram a book big enough to beat a rhino into submission into ninety minutes? We attempt to find out by watching Mangler and Cat’s Eye. The Mangler is, inexplicably, a movie based on the short story about a laundry machine that gets possessed. The story is quaint and functional considering that it was written in the seventies for a fiction magazine. The movie though is a pure mess with Robert … Continue reading "Script 2 Script 24: King Stuff"

Manga Pulse 444: Fantasy King

From a mystery box, whence no one knows it came. We drew from it a pair of books, the like of which we had never lain eyes. An ethereal brilliance reached out and blinded us for an instant. Like a dream, the light was gone. Leaving us to wake up in a smoking crater. Tim has Final Fantasy Type-0. It has Final Fantasy in the name so you know it has crystals, magic mumbling, and an evil Empire. There’s a group of super powerful students call class zero. They do something and fight the empire who are bad. Though they may accidentally make the Empire out to be sympathetic.

Popcorn Pulse 148: Black Face

Let’s talk tax evasion instead of movies. You know how any number of actors or musicians have tried to avoid taxes by not paying them? The director of today’s film decided to skip that and just give up his US citizenship. So we have Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus[2009]. It’s a story about an ancient monk who’s made deals with the devil throughout the ages. Culminating in him having one go at mortality and having to pay the devil with his daughter. It’s a lot of wild imagery and works well around the death of Heath Ledger who was to be the protagonist. Tim has Suburban Sasquatch[2004]. You know how independent films are … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 148: Black Face"

Tim has a manhua with Peerless Little Doctor. Our protagonist, Dr. Pokey, is getting kicked out of medical school for fighting. Lucky for him he gets a magical tome which says he can still be a respected doctor by using his innate acupuncture skills.

Which meant we had no choice but to watch the movie made and based off the book as well.

Afterwards there's news of another strange theft, China gets it's first new anime since 2007, and horrible women in a terrible anime wear sexy undergarments. Lastly the previews make a return as Joseph gets teased so hard he takes in a girl off the street, and Andrew allows the spirit of a samurai to possess him and battle football players.

Popcorn Pulse 147: Double Miracle

Let’s dig into the best year to ever have occurred in the history of our lives. At least that’s what we’re going to call it based solely on the films that came out that year. We’re not going for anything most people have heard of though, we’ve got The Miracle Fighters(1982). It’s a fantasy Kung Fu movie where we follow a kung fu master who gets betrayed, runs from the king, and raises a random child as his own. This kid then learns kung fu magic, which we dubbed FunKu, and competes to be recognized as a wizard. His rival is naturally the bat sorcerer who wanted to kill the prince. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 147: Double Miracle"

There are magical girls who protect a city at night from monsters. We follow a team of five who all die except for the water girl Undine. She discovers that there may be more than meets the eye.

Has it been awhile since we did a Travolta movie? Probably. No one cares for us to go back and look. We grabbed The Forger[2014] off the rack to see what travesty was produced. Travolta plays an Art Forger who’s son is dying of cancer. He calls in a favor from a mob boss to get out of jail early. This involves forging a Monet to steal and give to the mob. Travolta almost fits being a washed up wannabe artist who makes copies. Plus they don’t pull any punches and have the kid miraculously beat cancer at the end.

Popcorn Pulse 142: Guns Forever

Anyone check in on that Harry Potter guy? We hear the author hasn’t been getting high praise these days. Turns out Radecliffe was in an action movie in Guns Akimbo[2019]. Playing against type, he’s a nerdy loser who works for a pay to play game. At night, he drinks craft beer, masturbates, and “trolls” people online. As this is a film, trolling involves telling people they suck in livestream chats. This gets the attention of the head of an organization that runs real life murder fights. Potter-san wakes up with two guns drilled to his hands and a bounty on his head. Tim then has Sleepaway Camp(1983). A slasher film set at a summer camp. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 142: Guns Forever"

No that's not Jack Front nipping at your nose, it's a new season of anime that blew in with the breath from old man winter. And what a frigid wasteland of selections it is! At least for Joseph that is. Andrew on the other hand seems to have let his inner child run free and is enjoying making snow angels and snow forts, while Joseph watches from inside like a grumpy old man sipping coffee while wrapped in several robes and counting his gold coins.

Popcorn Pulse 111: Cold Pursuit

It may not be a special number but we happen to like the triple digits. So we just had to pick a theme of some sorts. We couldn’t come up with anything particularly uniting so we decided to hone in on movies set in our home state. We begin with the fairly recent Cold Pursuit[2019]. The Liam Neeson film that turns out to be an American remake of a Norwegian film. Neeson plays a snowplow driver at a fictional ski town in the Rockies. His son gets killed by a drug dealer and Neeson decides to break out the vengeance bit one more time. There are some colorful characters and … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 111: Cold Pursuit"

Manga Pulse 406: Zero Patrolman

Welcome back to our artisanal show. We make our podcast with a couple of simple ingredients. A couple of manga, some whiskey, and lots of time. No artificial cash influxes provided by oversized media conglomerates intent out forcing out as much flavorless paste for as little as possible. Tim reviews Eden’s Zero, done by the creator of Fairy Tale. Our hero, Shiki, is living alone on an island of robots when a fantasy youtuber, Rebecca, shows up. The robots turn out to be evil and want to escape the island on her ship. Shiki defeats them and leaves with Rebecca and her talking cat, Happy.

Popcorn Pulse 110: This Is Spinalta

This week we kick the show off with the grand pappy of mockumentaries. The one that started them all and inspired up to dozens of copy cats. Tim and Weltall jointly review This Is Spinal Tap(1984). A documentary style comedy filmed around a fictional English rock band in the vein of Sabbath who’s going on an American tour as their popularity begins to wane. While directed by Rob Reiner, it features a lot of staples of the later Christopher Guest movies to come in both actors and stylistic choices. While it’s assembled from hundreds of hours of improvisation, the bane of most comedies these days, it has the bones of … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 110: This Is Spinalta"

Script 2 Script 22: The Witches

Roald Dahl is one of those authors that Hollywood like to try and adapt every few years. At least once the adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate factory faded into the childhood nostalgia of those working. Which might just be how we got The Witches. Like all good novels with a child protagonist, we start off with dead parents. Parental figures apparently being to heroes as gorillas are to dropped children. Our hero goes to live with his grandma who believes in witches. Both novel and film end up with the kid being cared for by grandma who has to holiday someplace in England for her health. Both have a convention of … Continue reading "Script 2 Script 22: The Witches"

There’s nothing quite like public domain characters for making movies from. How about a wacky take on Dr Jekyll and Mister Hyde? What if the great great grandson of Dr Jekyll inherited his notes, attempted to fix it with estrogen and then turned into an evil woman? That’s the plot of Dr Jekyll and Ms Hyde(1995). Our main character is an unlikable turd who works in research at a perfume company but whines about how he’s not doing science. He even points to a tv playing Frankenstein and says “that’s science” to his fiancee. At first his transformations help as Ms Hyde puts his life in better order.

Script 2 Script 21: Real Murders

If you were an author that wrote something that seemed inherently silly there are a lot of ways to deal with it. One way might be to rewrite it so that it’s not so silly. Another might be to just live with it and learn to accept it knowing that readers will take cues from your confidence. The worst and most common way is to simply hand a lampshade on it and smirk at the audience. That’s what happens within Real Murders – an Aurora Teagarden Mystery. The author knows she has a silly name and tries to let us know she’s in on the joke. Luckily this doesn’t set the tone for the … Continue reading "Script 2 Script 21: Real Murders"

Video game movies are kind of like corn blight. They’re things that devastate whole crops of but only ever seem to effect monocultures. We’re not even sure if that thing lands or not. Our joint review is for Doom[2005]. It’s one of the early crop of game adaptations which continued to add evidence that no one in Hollywood has ever touched a controller. It stars Dwayne Johnson, around who scripts simply materialize, and Karl Urban. There’s an archeological expedition on Mars that sends out a distress call. Turns out they found ancient fossils of humans with perfect DNA. Naturally scientists have been extracting that which promptly turns the station inhabitants into vaguely demons from the … Continue reading "Popcorn pulse 108: Doom Rock"

Hello? Yes, we’d like to order some cheese sticks, a large fry, two Cokes and a hamberder. Yes, a hamberder with no kepchup. I mean kepchup. Oh hell, I think someone goatse my autobot. Tim’s review focuses on Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san, or The Helpful Fox Senko-san. Our protagonist is a tired, overworked salary man who comes home one day to find a fox girl living in his house. This is made stranger by the fact she’s incredibly eager to please and serve him and rebuffs any attempts to be helped by him.

We’ve never run the numbers explicitly but there can’t be quite as many animated movies based on novels compared to any other genre. Which is why we thought it perfect to tackle Who Framed Roger Rabbit. A movie well loved and known for many things. For being one of the very few moments wherein Warner Brothers characters appear onscreen with Disney characters. A landmark in blending live action and animation. A movie considered so risky that Disney didn’t want to put their mark on it and instead released it under the Touchstone label. Because back then Disney wasn’t attempting to court an older audience.

They simply appeared on the shelves complete with worn stickers and suggested rental prices that were incorrect. One such film is Ice Cream Man(1995). Starring everyone’s favorite budget monster, sans makeup, is Clint Howard. He plays a man who witnessed an ice cream man getting gunned down as a child. Grown up and released from the mental institute, he now runs the ice cream shop and truck. He also murders people because that’s what you do when you’ve witnessed a … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 107: Ice Scream"

Manga Pulse 402: Street Captain

There’s something infinitely charming about the predictions of the future made in the distant past in science fiction. Particularly when they didn’t bother to cast that far ahead in the date of their fictional world. Take Blade Runner, for example, depicting Los Angeles as a dark, shadowy, dystopian world of flying cars and pyramids. When in reality that more accurately describes modern day Las Vegas. Tim’s manga, Captain Commando is one of those. Written in the early nineties it is set in the far off year of twenty twenty six. In the fictional world of Metro City, nestled between Mega City Two and Neo-Tokyo, where crime is rampant. Until a millionaire electronics … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 402: Street Captain"

He’s nearly mislaid by Jodie Foster and James Garner. Thankfully this was the nineties and no one outside of skeevy bars had ever heard of “Texas Hold ‘Em”.

IRL news is a bit on the lighter side though as Joseph challenges his supervisor to a Shokugeki and Andrew celebrates a birthday, and the same can be said for the reviews, as Joseph attempts to save the planet by dating girls and Andrew is like a bull in a china shop where all the china are girls made out of crystals and the bull is wizards from the moon.

By now we realized we’d passed our four hundred milestone and talk a little bit about what we’ve read and reviewed. There’s still consensus that some o the worst manga are the OELs which simply ape the style and mannerisms of manga. Tim’s review is Against the Gods, a manhua. The main character, who we call Che, is a grandson of a royal family with magic powers. He’s to be wed to another noble family who has magic powers.

We start off with the side note that we don’t really have many side notes, before hopping into the regular news where we discuss the new Death Stranding trailer, Game Freak showcasing their new sleep based game, and Call Of Duty having an amazingly new and innovative name for their next game! After the news we skip the forums and instead go into my first look at Oxygen Not Included! We then finish off with talk of anime and food.

Episode 604: Spring 2019 Previews #4

Break out your sun tan lotion and get the ice, because this week on Anime Pulse we are laying out the burns on both ourselves and others. First up is IRL news where Joseph has mowed his lawn until he turned into a crispy chicken, and Andrew wants to know who we think the worst Anime Moms are. Afterwards the two talk more about the ongoing KickVic saga, as well as shooting models into space for the olympics. And finally the previews this week cap us off, Joseph being reborn in another world as an overpowered samurai who hunts demons and Andrew plays us a musical number while shoving a kappa up someones ass.

Popcorn Pulse 104: Denzel Vu

Wouldn’t it be crazy if everything was a simulation and we were all just programs in it? Not really as it wouldn’t change your day to day goings on. Thankfully that’s not the question asked by the nineties in Virtuosity(1995). Because there wasn’t a lot of room for movies in that era asking if we lived in reality or not and most of that space in pop culture was reserved for the Matrix with a small corner carved out for The Thirteenth Floor. Denzel Washington is Denzel, he is a disgraced cop. He’s in prison but participating in a virtual reality program which pits him and another fallen officer against … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 104: Denzel Vu"

Manga Pulse 399: Jesus Ladies

Weltall and Tim, once again, can never seem to agree on the varying pronunciation of the term for comics depending on the source. There may be an official and sanctioned way to pronounce the subtle differences between manga, manhwa, and manhua but looking them up would take something akin to effort. Even if they wanted to, you’ve come to expect far less and we can’t break with tradition now. So Tim has Iron Ladies, a manhua. In the future of this world there is space travel and other planets. They are conquered and fought for by cyborg women. Our hero is broke, beyond graduated from college and his girlfriend is leaving him. … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 399: Jesus Ladies"

Before we get to that, the guys hit us with what has been going on with them IRL. Afterwards the industry news is short and sad, as Anime New Network loses its shit over loli fox girls and mangaka all across Japan scramble to buy up watercolor ink. And lastly are more previews, with Joseph introducing us to a feel-good loli fox girl and a cat-ish girl from Nagoya, and Andrew summons his newest stand to help translate the romantic feelings between two mythological creatures.

VG Pulse 330: Pro Detective Maker

This week on VGP, we have very little news but still manage to go over an hour! We start off with side notes of new tech and tech fail, before diving into the main news where we discuss the situation with YouTuber ProJared, the contents of the Mario Maker Nintendo Direct, and Bethesda’s latest mishap. After the news we head on off into a very unusual review, where instead of discussing a video game we instead talk about a movie we saw! I’m sure you can guess which one ;P.

Then with industry news, we got topics like an Anti-Moe animation talking down on anime and Kizuna Ai making it into the big leagues of most respected people in the world. And finally the previews wrap things up, as Joseph picks up some harems and Andrew puts on some slightly off color rose tinted … Continue reading "Episode 602: Spring 2019 Previews #2"

Popcorn Pulse 103: Moron Gate

Bibliophiles don’t usually make the list of top candidates for most exciting job. We’re pretty sure that they’re ranked just below the people who muck out the stables for for Mel Gibson. Which means we must have a movie centered on just that. The Ninth Gate 1999, staring Johnny Depp before he started mistaking hat and makeup for acting. Depp plays a rather unscrupulous book finder who swipes valuable books when appraising collections. A rich man contacts him because Depp is supposed to be good at finding books and verifying authenticity. Depp is tasked with examining three copies of a book maybe written by the devil.

Manga Pulse 398: chainsawbaka

We’ve managed to barricade ourselves in the lower levers. The main gate failed early on though the gamer geeks took heavy casualties to get it done. The slings of the TV and comic nerds took down our archers. We’re low on arrows and hoping for reinforcements from Animu-land. I would like to believe we can hold it to then but I can hear the drums of the theater kids. They’re singing an acapella version of an incredibly popular song from five years ago. I fear they will press us far too soon. Tim reivews Chainsawman. Denji is a young man who’s deep in debt to the yakuza because of his … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 398: chainsawbaka"

Popcorn Pulse 102: Mortal Pulse

We jointly review Mortal Engines[2018]. It’s a “young adult” novel so of course it’s post apocalyptic. Cities in Europe chase down and consume each other for reasons that don’t make any sense. London has basically picked the land clean of smaller towns and now wants to attack Asia. Hugo Weaving is planning on doing this by reviving the weapon that ended the world. When the characters aren’t talking, there are some nice visuals which are plenty entertaining. It’s only when the movie slows down that we ended up pulling the plot apart at the seams. Like why in the world does this weapon, which destroyed the world in sixty minutes, … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 102: Mortal Pulse"

Remember dear listeners, episode 600 will feature an old favorite of the show, Ichigo! If you want to ask the OG host of Anime Pulse any questions, you may submit them in the forums or by leaving them in the comments on either this or episode 598's comments section.

But first on this episode of Anime Pulse, Joseph talks about his new kink of being bullied by women and Andrew falls asleep watching Shazam. Industry news gets kids hyped for exercise, as well as JSDF trying to temp otaku to join with shotas. And the reviews wrap us up with Andrew tricking everyone into think he is reviewing an anime in 4 words, and Joseph enjoying a battle known as love where the loser is the first to confess.

Script 2 Script 19: The Godfather

We going to make an episode you can’t refuse. Hey look, it’s that line from the Godfather that everyone knows. Which must mean we’re doing the Mario Puzo pulp classic which became one of the best films directed by Coppola. To top it off, we managed to see it in theaters as part of an anniversary rescreening with a small quiet audience without screaming children. There’s a lot of material within the novel that doesn’t make it to the big screen. Like the lady with the extremely loose vagina who can only be satisfied by Sonny and his horse dong.

Manga Pulse 397: Terror Man

Bob Ross always like to say there are no such things as mistakes. Only happy accidents. This is pretty easy to say when you paint for a living in a studio without anyone to backsass you. For those of us living in the twenty first century with access to multiple forms of instant communication, this compounds things and makes mistakes impossible to avoid. Which is how Weltall and Tim both ended up reviewing the same manhwa, Terror Man. We kick off with our protagonist sitting in class getting challenged by a classmate to rock paper scissors. He never loses because he has “eyes of misfortune” that turn the wrong choice … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 397: Terror Man"

All these questions and more are answered on this episode of Anime Pule. First up Joseph quickly jaunts through his week of IRL news, and Andrew asks us what conventions we would like to attend.

Popcorn Pulse 101: Gibson Must Die

There was something about the eighties where they firmly believed surfing was cool. Sure it was popularized by the fifties and sixties. By the time the eighties rolled around, the parents who surfed forgot to warn their kids how lame it is. This oversight lead to the Troma movie, Surf Nazi’s Must Die(1987). What you might expect from a Troma movie is a loose plot bound together by set pieces of intense gore. Instead we get a movie that claims to be set after a Californian apocalyptic quake. This leads to a group of neo nazis, who might also surf, dominating California beaches. They kill a random oil pump inspector … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 101: Gibson Must Die"

Deep in the heart of the South American mountains there is a place, hidden among the peaks. There, artisans follow the craft of their ancestors, working with techniques that have remained unchanged for generations. All to make garbage that’s easily inferior to tools purchased at any big box store. Proving traditions can be stupid. Tim reviews Prison School. The premise starts off simply enough.

There was a time where Sam Elliott wasn’t the glorious be-mustached man that he’s been since cowboy films were invented. It wasn’t only two seconds after passing through the birthing canal, into the world, and then ordering a whiskey with a side of broken glass.

Manga Pulse 395: Ridge of Rwby

Considering all of the genres of manga and all the subjects covered, there’s probably one thing among them that’s near taboo. That would be the original english language “manga”. We’re pretty sure that OELs were the meteor that killed the dinosaur of Tokyopop along with the nuclear winter of Levy’s ego. Yet there must always be an exception to the rule and a part of that is what we’ve been sent today. Tim gets Rwby Anthology 1. Not being a fan of Rooster Teeth or any of their productions, Tim approached it decidedly neutrally.
