The Great Gundam Project 297: Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam A New Translation II - Lovers

We are back with the second Zeta movie! This one is less good, but we still have a fun time talking about it. What a ridiculous series of films to exist. Check back next week for the finale!

The Great Gundam Project 296: Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam A New Translation I - Heir to the Stars

It's Zeta Time! We watched the first New Translation movie and had a shockingly good time compared to our expectations. Tomino is back, baby, and he's got his hands on the digipaint.

Em Muddles Through FFT 2 - Gacha Luck

We're back for another episode of Final Fantasy Tactics! Starting to get rolling on learning stuff and generally getting into the ebb and flow of the game. Also, I waste just an illegal amount of time at the end.  

Please any feedback provide here on the page or in the youtube comments, whichever's easier for you!

VoIP Life 137: Depression Gaming

We're joined by friend of the show Nora to talk about Destiny 2 and some goofy fighting game talk made very funny by the fact we went on at length about SF6 the day before evo. Enjoy the irony of Jackson talking shit about Blanka.

The Great Gundam Project 295: Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space

We've finished the 0079 movie trilogy! It took us a few years longer than it should, but nevermind, our task is done. We have a pretty good conversation about this one! But onwards and upwards to Digipaint Zeta we must go........

Em Muddles Through Final Fantasy Tactics - 1

Hello and welcome to a new weekly feature that's going to replace Block Busters while the strike is going on! FFT is a game that everyone wants me to play but I've always had trouble getting into, so now I'm not only going to put the gun on the table of I have to do it for work, I'm going to let everyone here help me get over my (perhaps real, perhaps imagined) difficulties with the tactics gen...

The Great Gundam Project 294: Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow

We're back after our week off! This is the episode we were gonna release a week ago until we had to check and make sure anime talk is all good with the struck work rules. It is, so we're back!! Not much to talk about with Gundam Movie II so there's a lot of true anime bullshit this week.

VoIP Life 136: Forspoken Too Soon

It's Voip Life! This is a free episode and we break down the way the SAG-AFTRA podcast guidelines will affect the Network now we've got our questions clarified. The short version, if you don't want to listen, is that Repertory Screenings and Blockbusters will be taking a haitus until the strike ends, but we will be spinning up some fun temporary projects for $5/month patrons instead.

The Great Gundam Project 293: Mobile Suit Gundam I

We're fixing a mistake we made years ago, finally covering the Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy. Honestly I think this has worked out pretty well. We had a nice crunchy discussion about 0079 and its themes finally informed by doing this podcast for way too much of our lives. I hope you enjoy!

Block Busters 30: Quiz Show

One of those classic mid tier movies where you could have a great time watching it but also maybe you'll just take a nap and they're about as enjoyable and I mean that in the nicest way. Lots to talk about and then lots of random chat on this one!

The Great Gundam Project 292: MS IGLOO 2: Gravity Front

We're done with IGLOO! The era of CG Gundam ends until this new Unreal Engine 5 thing. Which won't look like Metal Gear Solid 4 at all times so safe to say we are sad to see IGLOO go.

We finish Dunbine this week! Not one of Tomino's strongest endings but we had a good time nonetheless. Because let me tell you nothing is happening in Gundam SEED. These are episodes 97 and 98 of 100 don't you have things to do???

We've done it. We've hit The Worst Episode. I know we say this every week but I am willing to put down money that this time it's true. There's only six episodes after this. They can't sink any lower.

Somehow SEED Destiny shoves a final clip show in under 10 episodes from the end, which should be illegal but on the other hand we have less SEED Destiny to percieve, so who can say whether it's good or bad.

Block Busters 28: Smokey and the Bandit

We had a surprisingly great time with this goofy little movie but also because it barely has a story we end up spending half the episode talking about HDR, Spielberg's home theater setup, and more. Half VoIP by volume, this one. Hope you enjoy regardless!
