What manga review show has two thumbs and two manga? Probably a lot of them actually but we’ll fit that bill for today. Though you know what we don’t fit? Those darn skinny jeans we keep getting sent to review from Aliexpress. Who in the hell thinks we want those and need to review them? Sure they make our package look fantastic but there’s more to life than a stunningly wrapped tackle. Tim has Jinrui-shoku. It’s sometime in the distant now and there are things called “mummily”s This is apparently a thing were family members die, become desiccated corpses, then wander around for a bit.

Take a look, there is no book. Because this isn’t the Reading Rainbow. This is Popcorn Pulse and we do movies. So how about a movie that was written by the same guy who did LA Confidential? You might remember it as the movie which got a lot of buzz back in the nineties. Going so far as to get Oscar noms. You can imagine a writer might try to get lightning to strike twice after that. Because everybody wants both Hollywood money and acclaim. We bring you Street Kings[2008]. It stars Keanu as a cop who drinks and is depressed. He had a falling out with his partner, played … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 230: 44 Kings"

Spooky season is upon us. Or at least it was at the time of recording. We may or may not have picked manga that corresponds with the time of year of pumpkins and costumes. Because we have the planning abilities of a local city council that keeps getting voted out every six months. Which might be justified because we keep trying to allocate the budget to building a statue to Shinzo Abe with a “Please have Sex” plaque. Tim has Fear: Reiwa Kaidan which is inline with Halloween season. It’s a set of short stories. Which means it doesn’t have a lot of room to breathe.

It’s that time of year again where the promised sequels, just like the executives on top of their favorite hookers, are coming. We have at least one of those cock teases which do not lead to sex in the champagne room. That’s right, Dune: Part 2[2024]. So the first part seemed kind of promising. Baron Harkonen’s plan had succeeded in driving out the Atredies and retaking Arrakis. We weren’t threatened with a trilogy so everything has to wrap up in this one. That’s a lot of reliance on the acting ability of the failed Wonka player. There’s a lot to pick apart and we do our darnedest to stay on … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 229: Arrakis Fracas"

What do you do with a drunken sailor? You could fine him and send him off with his purse a little lighter. Or, hear me out, you could give him a podcast wherein he talks about manga. Now, we may not be sailors but we have been on a boat and been intoxicated. So we should qualify as be brought a couple of manga. Tim has Look-Alike Daughter. Gil So-Myeong is a model student and lives with her mother. She used to have a dad but he was gone a long time ago. She also used to have a brother who really seems to get on mom’s nerves.

Not much snark to go here so we’ll get right into the film. We’re going old school this time with Daredevil[2003]. Yes, one of the first Marvel movies before their studio was purchased by the house of mouse. And it’s over twenty years old at this point. Tuck your shirt into your highwaisted pants and let’s go to the buffet, old folks. It’s an origin story for Daredevil with the future Bat-Fleck playing the blind lawyer. It’s also a longer film clocking in at over two hours. Why? Because fuck you and your bladder.

Nothing says summer and the beach quite like shark movies. They almost have to go together because otherwise sharks aren’t very dangerous. You aren’t likely to run across a great white in a coal mine or while driving across Nebraska. But sharks have been overdone since the late seventies. In no small part due to all the Jaws clones. So what if there was a really big shark? That’s the question The Meg wants to ask and answers it by making up contrived scenario where a Megalodon has survived into the modern day. This also gives it an excuse to be able to attack large ships that normally ignore ocean … Continue reading "Script 2 Script 36: The Meg"

We’re going to review a manga, review a manga. Like Johnny Two Times, we does everything double. Or perhaps like a cheeseburger that’s better with a second patty. You will enjoy our reviews and we will include the pickles no matter what you input at the kiosk. We just assume you made a mistake and will correct it at our convenience. And if we catch you throwing that pickle away? There will be onions to pay. Did we mention that someone got into the allergy medicine? Tim has Video Girl Ai.

By slice of toast, we mean an energy drink with a caffeine pill dissolved in it. By late we mean we’re on our way to Human Resources to tell them to suck a fat one. By fat one we mean that they’re invited to the farewell party for Sheryll because we don’t think anyone remembers the folks in HR. They do good work. So we have Tucker and Dale Vs Evil[2010]. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 227: Evil Vibes"

Unlike a certain movie character, you aren’t required to say our show name thrice to summon us. For that we will appear after only two. And even then it will only be because you subscribed to our feed or at least checked the website. So nothing like the striped man played by Michael Keaton. Though we both have had a Zagnut. Onto the manga. Tim has The Ending, I Want to Change It. We start with a Korean author who is a bestseller.

Yes, the Spanish sword fighting man who dons black and names himself the Spanish word for fox. Which may make him the worlds first furry. First up, we have The Mask of Zorro(1998). This is probably one of the better received incarnations in recent memory. Antonio Banderas plays a man rescued by an aged Zorro, Anthony Hopkins, who is seeking revenge on his mortal enemy.

We like to do theme episodes. Sometimes we choose them because of an actor’s passing. Sometimes a renewal of interest in a genre. This time we seem to have a theme but we couldn’t tell you why. Maybe there was a grip who worked on both of them. It’s a sort of mystery that’s outside of our pay grade. We start with Guarding Tess(1994). Nicolas Cage is a super special United States Secret Service agent. So special he’s guarding a former first lady played by Shirley MacLaine. They have their differences and with him being button down and focused on protocol and her chafing at the rules of the USSS. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 225: Fire Tess"

Everyone knows we don’t ply effort to things like selection. That’s reserved for silly things like selecting the toppings for carryout or gently handling golf clubs. We did find two, in spite of the effort it took. We hope you enjoy the discussion they’re sure to prompt. Tim has Director Kim. Hey, that rhymes.

All aboard! Maniacal laughter echoing into the distance. What do you mean, don’t say that part? It’s written in the script you gave me. I don’t know what kind of amateur hour circus you have going here. You’re clearly hiring me to do a knock off introduction of Crazy Train which will probably get you copyright struck. I don’t care enough to fight you on it, I’m just paid flat rate to read what’s on the page. I’ll let you sort this out while I talk about movies. Tim and Weltall start off with Death Train(1993).

We pride ourselves on being on the leading edge of trends. See also our brand new NFTs.(Please note this is a joke and don’t worry that we are making NFTs far too late in the party.) Tim has one more visit to Yankee JK Kuzuhana. If you recall, this is the manga where our protagonist, Saotome, is attending a business school.

There’s a fascinating era of Hollywood where they just loved making Jack the Ripper into part of a film. This could often manifest as as garbage like Terror at London Bridge where Jack gets resurrected. Or Time After Time where Jack, played by the incredible David Warner, time travels to modern day Los Angeles and begins killing there. But how about a movie that references Jack the Ripper but does nothing with it? Enter, Jack’s Back (1988).
