The Great Gundam Project 283: Gundam SEED Destiny 37 & 38

We're joined by David (AncientMecha) to continue our final march through Seed Destiny, with the worst OP in the universe, and do our best to sift through these strange and sometimes not awful episodes. Despite everything, Shinn is fighting for our prayers, a character with motivations and conflicts like you would expect from a TV show.

Your Uncle's Beach House 72: Cross Ange

This certainly is a surprise. Jackson watched all of Cross Ange and surprised everyone with an episode about it, dropping it on the GGP feed with no explanation. But, it is a Beach House so now you can click on this episode aware of the terrifying surprise. Let’s learn all about The Most Anime Ever Made.

Thank you so much to Luc (2023-04-25 16:21:22 +0000 UTC View Post

We are joined by Guus to tackle SEED Destiny faceplanting what should be a stupid (complimentary) classic moment into some of the most racist shit imaginable and Shinn Asuka's heroic victory. Meanwhile in Dunbine, anime is beautiful and heroic and true.

Block Busters 27: Phone Booth

VoIP Life 127: The Two Energies

On Saturday afternoon we had a list and were excited to go. We did some future planning, we had some laughs. Classic VoIP. On Tuesday night? Different story. A 15 minute pick up spiraling into a rant against video game guys and their youtube channels and their achievement lists. Truly could not be more rancid. Hopefully you like it anyway.

Block Busters 26: Pretty Woman

We herald the death of the 80s on screen as we talk about sexless Richard Gere, the power of A Fixer, and marvel at just how many people leapt to the ground to let Julia Roberts walk on them to her way to stardom. Honestly? Worth it. Pretty Woman is pretty good!

VoIP Life 126: Calling Out Zelda Fans

We have a two parter for you today as in the first half we talk about Zelda and do a fun quiz (thank you Rick), and in the second half recorded a week earlier Em talks about a near death experience (not really) and we run down the results of last VoIP's movie bracket. We had a winner! It was good!

Also, can anyone tell us when DALLOS is set?

Jackson put together an outrageous 128 big bracket of most of the movies we've covered on our various podcasts and seeded them by letterboxd rating, and then we went through and decided which was the scientifically best movie we've ever covered by the podcast. I'm pretty happy with our results!
