Tangents Abound – Two True Freaks

I'm BURSTING with Star Wars feelings and I have to share them or I'm going to EXPLODE like that fat guy from the Monty Python skit. I start the episode with a non-spoilery review, (spoiler: IT'S A GREAT SHOW!) and discuss ANOTHER change made to the Original Trilogy Han/Greedo scene that just appeared on the Disney+ version. Then, I talk about the episode in detail and the big cliffhanger twist that has left me a wreck. Don't worry I do give a warning before any of that though! Buckle up my friends because this Mandalorian can bring us in warm or bring us in cold and I'm coming in red hot! 

In this episode, I don't even know where to begin. There's action, explosions, infiltrations, the start of the Gundam trope of fighting in low orbit, and the most rants I've ever done yet! All this and the absolute WORST Gilbert Gottfried impression EVER! 

The secondary cast gets their chance to shine in this episode! Amuro takes a backseat as we get to see what the regular guys on the ship can do! Also, Char sips some tea. The opening song is "If I die in battle" by Van Canto Feedback for the show can be sent to whitebasechronicles@gmail.com or at @ahenley2011 

Hello, again my friends!The action is really starting to heat up now! In this episode, a complete amateur is about to encounter the Red Baron! The first story arc wraps up!

All this and more awaits your ears!As mentioned at the beginning of the episode, this is the link for the Help Kyoto Animation fundraiser.

Welcome to another "great" (mileage may vary) episode of White Base Chronicles!Now that we've got the introductory stuff out of the way, we're onto full-fledged action for this episode. There's a lot of gunfire, explosions, tears, and peeing of pants. This episode is all about one thing and one thing only: The Gundam's Activation. Oh...and I guess the human cost of war but who cares?! There's a giant robot turning on!

Tangents Abound returns with a whole new attitude!

We'll be covering the manga (comic book series) Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin. The Special Edition of Gundam! Wait! Come Back! It's not like that OTHER Special Edition!

Today's episode starts with a special guest...who kinda invited himself onto the show but I couldn't really say no. I like living a little too much. Tonight the monsters are out to play and we talk about the most famous vampire of all. NO IT'S NOT EDWARD!!! There is only one BLEEEPING vampire lord and his name is Vlad Dracula Tepes! The lord of the night and his constant war against the Belmont family is our topic as I discuss the new Castlevania series. Does it break the video game curse? Do fangirls swoon at Alucard's bare abs? All these questions and more will be answered in this spooky episode of Tangents Abound!

This episode is a much more serious one my friends. For on this day one year ago, a great man was lost. His name was Shawn Engel. This week's episode has the largest cast of guest-hosts ever on the show and I'm pretty darn sure will ever have! It is my most sincerest wish that if Shawn's family finds this little show, that they may be able to draw some comfort from how their loved one affected his friends and one complete stranger.Today we remember one of the best of us.His light will burn forever in our hearts. Tissues and hugs are recommended for this one. Also super special thanks to Chris Honeywell for the episode art!
