Popcorn Pulse 209: James Bond
We’ve talked about it for quite some time. Teased and hinted at doing something a little unorthodox from the norm. So we’ve broken down and gone and done it. We’ve leaned into the universe of James Bond. Helped by the fact it’s all free on a certain streaming service we don’t advertise for free. We have to start with the first of course. Dr No(1962), while not the first novel, was the first adaptation. Perhaps because JFK was a bit of a fan of the book. Sean Connery’s first outing as Bond has him hanging around tropical islands. They’re hunting for a guy with robot hands and a penchant for … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 209: James Bond"

Script 2 Script 34: Dune
It’s time to get dried out from all the aquatic themed books we’ve done. What better place than Arrakis, Dune, desert planet. The Frank Herbert novel is getting another adaptation soon-ish. It’s a classic space opera where one family attempts to trap another on a hostile world to be exterminated. The mix of Muad’dib and the spice of the planet allows Paul to survive and thrive. Being a scifi novel, there’s a lot of backstory that Lynch wasn’t really able to fit in. How much of it was due to studio meddling versus Lynch clearly wanting to do something else with the material is hard to suss out. The Drink: … Continue reading "Script 2 Script 34: Dune"

Manga Pulse 504: Chou Bachi
Alright. We’ve got two sample bottles of scotch and two mangas. No funny business or running gags. No diversionary little anecdotes that are about as pointless as a marble. Perhaps a little bit of rambling that goes nowhere like a road to an abandoned farm which has antiques you can steal. They’re haunted as a matter of course. Have a priest’s number on hand before you go barn looting. Tim has Choujin X. A physical copy he bought from a bookstore even and remembered to bring to the show! The year is late nineties and there are superhumans that popped up after a global incident. They have all sorts of … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 504: Chou Bachi"

Popcorn Pulse 208: Three Vampires Outside Renfield
It’s October, as we recorded this anyways. And we needed something that fitted within the spirit of the season. That spirit is whiskey and it’s a perennial favorite of ours. That spirit guided us towards our patron saint, senor Nicolas Cage. We’re pretty sure he was knighted in Spain so he can be called senor as a title. That’s right, we have Renfield[2023]. It’s modern day and we join Renfield trying to get along and help the master, Lord Dracula. He’s feeling a bit abused as Dracula beats him around a bit. He also hurts Renfield so ol’ Renny wants out.

Hello, we’re Manga Pulse and we thank you for choosing us today. We have a lovely set of specials right now. A very seasonal word salad made from only the worst quality slang and confusion.

Popcorn Pulse 207: Terminally Firm
We need some sort of inspiration for a film choice. We’ve drawn from novel adaptations. Foreign films. Ok, let’s see if we can find a movie based on a hentai. We’ll just turn to the old fashioned internet oracle. And that was darn fast. Though this is less hentai and more ecchi. Fuck it, we ball. We’ve got Kite[2014]. India Eisley is a girl who murders people. Samuael Jackson is sort of her handler. He gives her a drug called Amp after she finishes a job. Though it screws with memory.

Manga Pulse 502: Ash Buster
We don’t always review manga but when we do, we do. And sometimes we do only one. But we’re pretty sure that hasn’t happened a whole lot. Unless it does and then we don’t care. But we also don’t want to be badgered by anyone if we’re wrong. Tim has Beet the Vandel Buster. Beet, named after his father’s favorite crop to grow because this is a fantasy universe originating from The Office. Dwight’s long lost grandson fights Vandel’s which are demons.

Popcorn Pulse 206: Outlaw Heat
There was a time when the buddy comedy could be found in many theaters. You couldn’t throw a cheap quarter pounder without hitting a movie poster where some cop was teamed up with some other unorthodox character. We used to be a real country, darn it. We take a visit back to those halcyon days where we knew who was the bad guys(it was the French). We have Red Heat(1988). It’s a team up between a Chicago cop and a Soviet Cop. Jim Belushi plays the Chicago man and Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the Soviet. And yes, his unmistakable Austrian accent shines through the Russian he learned for the role. Tim … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 206: Outlaw Heat"

Manga Pulse 501: Pony Cock
Would you look inside this barrel? There’s barely anything in there. It’s like we’re scraping out the bottom. Yeah, it seems we’re getting wood leavings when we run our scraper over it. I suppose we’ll have to order another hogs head of manga straight from the land of the rising sun. Until then, we’ll wash off these two and do a review. We have some manga adaptations of eighties properties. Tim has My Little Pony The Manga. Which is based on the modern show and not the eighties but the show was a reboot so it counts. It’s drawn in the four koma style but has full chapters. Each one … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 501: Pony Cock"

They crowd laughs but I’m not throwing in anything else just because you get them riled up. Got it, little Arthur? So we have King Arthur[2004]. You probably don’t remember this movie. Bruckheimer’s production company was riding high on the success of some mid Atlantic movie about shipping boats. So they naturally did a … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 205: Arthur’s Phallus"

Manga Pulse 500
We have something of a big show today. Being as it is the large sized five-hundo we have many things to talk about. Plus Weltall put in a bunch of effort in hunting down clips and bits from our other episodes. Ok, he at least grabbed some stuff he could find off the top of his head. However, that counts as effort in our book. We’re basically the Howard Hughes of manga podcasts. The Hughes that designed good planes and raced steam cars not the one who was afraid of leaving his apartment. Tim has The Eminence in Shadow. Our protag is a japanese high school student.

It’s early September and we’re talking about movies. So that means we had to pick something fitting. Naturally this means we grabbed a Christmas movie from last year with Violent Night[2022]. Which stars the sheriff from Stranger Things. Sure he has a name but that’s how he’s stuck in our heads since he first appeared. He plays the Santa who’s going around on his yearly duty.

Manga Pulse 499: Alcoholic Lesbians
Looks like we’re lining up for a long drive. We’ve settled on a driving club. A number five; five or maybe six. A very nice medium range club with an excellent driving force that’s a little dated. Certainly not the choice of some of the top players but very popular among the amateurs hitting the links. Tim hasn’t gotten his on the green so all Weltall has to do is avoid the sand trap and he’ll be within the his strength, the short game. Weltall has My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness.

This week we got best original animes, a potential light at the end of the tunnel for one delayed show and some chunky cool new mechas. Then on the gatai segment Joseph goes to Isekai Fantasy school with a lovable Saint while Andrew makes the worst rental of his life (no refunds). P.s I also get pretty drunk by the end but I have edited out the long pauses for an improved experience...
Manga Pulse 498: Inside a Sandwich
We are like cardboard. Not because we are now made with up to thirty percent less material than previously. Because we are two flat sheets sandwiching corrugated paper. Also, we don’t stand up well in the rain. But that’s more because we’re from drier climes where water falling from the sky is of the devil unless it’s frozen. That’s a completely useless way of telling you that we have two manga again. Tim has a revisit of Kekkaishi. This time it’s an omnibus covering the first three volumes. A little recap is there are two families which banish evil spirits. They guard a magical place which happens to be underneath … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 498: Inside a Sandwich"

Popcorn Pulse 202: Size of Life
We heard everyone has gotten excited by the prospect of a toy based movie. We’re not sure why that’s working this time when Ouija happened and no one cared. That was clearly the best possible children’s toy to adapt. Anything less will fall short. Either way, we’re just thrilled that people are once again talking about Life-Size[2000]. We know it’s not the movie you were thinking of when we said doll and movie. We still watched the Lindsey Lohan and Tyra Banks vehicle.

Popcorn Pulse 201: The Sun
Open the curtains, you basement dwelling cretins. You to, you normal people who get plenty of exposure to natural light. Not you, people who make AI morphs of random Twitch streamer girls to suit your fetish. You can stay there and maybe check the batteries in your carbon monoxide alarm. Because there’s a chance you’re suffering from poisoning. For everyone else, take in plenty of Sunshine[2007]. It’s a science fiction movie staring Cillian Murphy and a whole lot of other names you know. It’s the future and the sun is cooling off. So there’s a second mission to the sun to drop a bomb into it to get it going … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 201: The Sun"
Manga Pulse 496: Teased and Rejected
Twice now, you have come into our house and made requests. Neither of those times have you come bearing gifts. Not even something as small as a bag of chips. Do we not rate at least a pouch of Corn Nuts? Even the plain would be less of an affront. Though we would still prefer the Chili Picante. Oh, now we need to go take a look and see if they’ve brought back the pizza flavor. Anywho, I guess we have two reviews for you.

Popcorn Pulse 200: Godfatha
Two hundred episodes all about movies. That deserves somethings kind of special. Or, as they say in the land of surfing and wanna-be actors, special. So we decided to sit down and do what is considered one of the top films of all time. Kangaroo Jack. OK, no, we did The Godfather(1972). It’s got a laundry list of actors you know, some before they were big enough to become parodies of themselves. Brando putting in a legendary performance that looms over everyone. A stray cat, just being a stray cat in the hands of the titular Godfather. A horses head in the bed of a Hollywood producer. Something that should … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 200: Godfatha"

Manga Pulse 495: Yankee Dance
Let’s see what we’ve got for another joke about twos. Hmm, perhaps something about wild deuces? That’s a sort of poker term, we think. Does that mean we’ve made the blind or the double blind? Well then, you’ve sunk my battleship. Prepare to go fish and go for all the marbles. Unless your hippos aren’t hungry enough to handle it. Tim has a revisit of Yankee Jk Kuzuhana-Chan.
