Reel Jumpers

Welcome back, Troopers, for part one of our coverage on the absolute cinematic masterpiece, Godzilla Minus One! We’re following Koichi, a deeply traumatized kamikaze pilot, as he navigates crippling survivor's guilt in a fire-bombed Tokyo and accidentally builds a makeshift family just to stay afloat. But hope is a cruel joke when the US casually drops a nuke, mutating a local island dinosaur into an unstoppable, radioactive god of destruction heading straight for a defenseless Japan. With the highly anticipated sequel on the horizon, join the squad as we dissect the soul-crushing emotional damage and giant monster perfection that makes this film a modern legend, and be sure to stay tuned for part two dropping soon. For those of you tuning in on your usual podcast feeds, we’ve got a special treat for you: to celebrate two incredible years of Reel Jumpers, honor this monumental film, and mark our milestone 39th and 40th episodes, both parts of this special retrospective will be available completely free and uncensored over on our Patreon.

From characters tragically falling into PS2-quality water to Friar Carl getting permanently stuck on AD-clear during the epic "Van-Hell-Wolf" finale, it's a wildly chaotic ride.

In this episode of Reel Jumpers, Nikki takes the lead to explore the origins of the Transformers toys and the lasting impact of the 1986 animated classic, Transformers: The Movie. The crew breaks down the franchise's evolution from Japanese toy molds into the film that traumatized a generation. Most importantly, the team takes time to honor the life and legacy of the late Peter Cullen, whose iconic voice as Optimus Prime created a noble, fatherly hero who taught millions to be strong enough to be gentle. Join us as we celebrate a cinematic milestone and say thank you to the leader of the Autobots.

Jumper Nikki has once again highjacked the command console and brought us along for a look at one of her favorite films. Listen to the crew discuss ludicrous power levels, questionable morals, and awesome old-school cell animation. Join us as we unpack the deep existential dread of a genetically engineered psychic cat with a serious god complex. We also highly recommend grabbing some tissues, because we're still not over the emotional trauma of Ash Ketchum's brief stint as a stone lawn ornament.   Join the Ranks: Check out the Patreon link below to join the club, watch the chaos, and help us conquer the airwaves!
