So now there’s a lot of old world super technology floating around. Lady Clock takes on … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 534: Yellow Clock"

It kind of sucks when we get a themed episode thrust upon us. Because we’re very bad at making a theme. Then someone dies and we comb over their catalog for something interesting. Which can also make for a bad episode. So we decided to do two of Val Kilmer’s lesser discussed films together. It doesn’t hurt that we’ve seen both before. That made this a bit of a refresher. First up The Ghost and the Darkness(1996). It’s a move based somewhat on a book which is, itself, based on the deployment of a royal engineer, played by Kilmer, to Africa.

These flattened screens make not have the same properties of the proper tubes which I’m fond of.

You’re going to take that football and you’re going to run to the other side. And if the other guys try to stop you, you don’t let them. That’s the famous speech from the Gene Hackman movie, right? Look, we never said we knew all of Gene’s filmography or watched it. We are aware a lot of people put Hoosiers on the top of that list. We figure it must be related to football because we don’t really watch sports movies. With that, we do have a Hackman movie we’d not seen before with The Package(1989). Gene plays a Sergeant who is helping guard nuclear disarmament talks between the US … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 239: Hackman"

This makes him a candidate to go on a super secret squirrel mission. He agrees and gets whisked away to the titular gorge.

It’s time to bring back tricorns. Or at least beating up the French. Those snooty wine chugging bastards like to get atop their high horse and tell you how much better they are. So how about a French film where a bunch of Frenchmen get assaulted by an American. And then by another Frenchman. We have Brotherhood of the Wolf[2001].

Two heads are better than one. Which is a simple axiom that doesn’t always apply to everything. Take engines, for example.

Especially since Google has become nigh unusable. Tim has The Vermillion Mask. There’s a mask seller in a fantasy land. He’s on loan from Majora’s mask and has magic ones that offer abilities.
