Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast

We crack open the 2002 photo-novel/novel/manga series Advance of Zeta: The Flag of Titans (or Under The Flag of Titans if you're reading the novel compilation) to see just what those hated Titans are doing before the Gryps War.  Brian reads the novel, while Isaac reads the manga - what could wrong?  We accompany test pilot Eliard Hunter as he joins the Titans Test Team (aka the Black Otter Squad, even though their emblem is a rabbit...) and navigates Jamitov's manipulation along with his own culpability for war crimes.  As the TTT spars with Zeon Remnants across space and in Africa, we wonder if this story should be considered Titans apologist media, admire the thiccness of the Gundam Hazel, ponder the existence of racism in the Universal Century, and debate Eliard's ultimate guilt.  Plus, Isaac hits us with his incredible Gundam deodorant convention booth idea!

We resume our journey aboard the Ingolstad to tackle the back half of Char's Deleted Affair!  We visit the little known Zebra Zone (complete with Axis Coffee Service!), watch the slow tragedy of Maharaja Karn's life unravel, conclude Haman is an incompatible handful, see Fabian morph from space rizzler into space assaulter, discuss midriffs as uniform radiators, debate the merits of Enzo-archy vs. Maharaja-ocracy vs. Haman-tatership, and finally witness Haman choose to do the wrong thing.  Plus, a dual-wielding Dom Funf sends Isaac to his own Gangster's Paradise!

The After Apocalypse timeline is upon us with the announcement of the RG Project!  In the A.A. era, humanity uses mobile suits to fight back against the Apocalypse: a self-proliferating ecosystem spawned by an interstellar object!  We discuss the announcements of the Gundam Rogue Orbit video game and the MSG RG XARX-ZERO anime, both coming in 2027.  Our musings cover our skepticism of these supposed "aliens," the surplus of mobile suits named zero, Isaac's refusal to embrace Zeonic Zoids, Brian's prediction that we are all Ray Azumi, the Gundam Zero's head shape, and whether John Peters is actually the producer (spiders are the fiercest killers in the animal kingdom...).  Plus, we invent a Tequila Gundam drinking game and Brian demands multiplayer co-op for Rogue Orbit! https://en.gundam-official.com/titles/rg-project/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo2KB1dEDdk

No panel, no problem! Instead, we mobilize with guerrilla Gundam Trivia for our first real YouTube video! Test your Gundam knowledge alongside the contestants to see if you would have won a prize! Plus, Brian yells at a cloud and Isaac buys a $12 lemonade.  

Allez cuisine!  The long-awaited Gundam food episode has arrived in the form of Iron Chef x Gundam!  We each send a crack team of six Gundam chefs into Kitchen Stadium to see whose mobile suit themed cuisine reigns supreme!  Our chefs bring the heat with appetizers like dumpling soup and onigiri, entrees with fugu and frilly toothpicks, and with desserts featuring truffles and cannoli.  Who wins?  It's up to you, the listeners!  Plus, Isaac goes tit for tit, we take a popsicle tangent, and discuss society reaching peak matcha.
