Russ, Stix, and Hunter practice some very good and accurate journalism investigating Kamen Rider Ryuki. In this episode we discuss if we basically rank who's the most vile human being on earth: gamers, lawyers, grad students, or criminals. Spoiler alert! It's not criminals!Help the podcast out by rating the show five stars, sharing with friends, and maybe leaving a comment or like on the YouTube version.
Russ, Stix, Hunter, and Iris take a good long look in the mirror and really contemplate Kamen Rider Ryuki. It's a TV show that makes us think about 9/11 (but what doesn't), the dangers of grad school, and if acting like Shadow the Hedgehog in real life is more likely to make people like you or dislike you.Help the podcast out by rating the show five stars, sharing with friends, and maybe leaving a comment or like on the YouTube version.
Russ, Stix, Hunter, and Iris discuss some real grrrrrrl power with Hideaki Anno's live action adaptation of Go Nagai's Cutie Honey. It's a movie about feelings, awkward music video style interjections, bad journalism (and acting), and a special lady rocking some special outfits.
Russ, Stix, and Hunter discuss the second half of Ultra Q, a show about a beautiful throuple, random nuns, lots of weird production order issues, and random spookiness pulled out at the last minute.
Russ, Stix, and Hunter introduce themselves and enter the world of Ultra Q, Tsubaraya's big television breakthrough and the show that started the Ultra Franchise. We also discuss street urchins, ghost ships, and the power of having a little guy on your side.
