Popcorn Pulse 180: Towering China

Was the seventies a disaster? We like to think so. Carter was in office. Oil Embargos were happening. Nuclear power plants were being protested. Disco was on the rise. Hollywood must have assumed it was the end times and found a love of the disaster film. So we grabbed a few for the show. We kick it off with a large block buster affair. The Towering Inferno(1974). A brand new skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles is about to open. It’s super advanced and the safest tower ever built. Until Paul Newman finds that some of the wiring was not up to his spec as a sub-contractor cut corners to take … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 180: Towering China"

Manga Pulse 474: School the Bitch

With all the targeted marketing branching out, I have an idea. There’s an underutilized market that’s ripe for tapping. The boomers. You might counter that they see foreign comics as degenerate. I counter that there’s a large chunk of them that are secretly degenerates and can be swayed by the argument that it’s art. Or just blast their DMs with animu titties and they’ll eventually come around. Tim has Get Schooled. A manwha that would make the actual boomers as excited as an anteater in the insect pavilion. It’s set in the vaguely immediate future of South Korea. Schools have become a nightmare after the banning of corporal punishment resulting … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 474: School the Bitch"

Manga Pulse 473: Token Takehashi

Look at the hands on that clock, Steve. It looks like the hands are running backwards. I guess that means it’s time to do the Time Warp again.

Tim starts us off with InuYasha. That’s right, the origin of our term Takehashi Tokens has finally made it into the show via a request. Plus it’s a three volume omnibus!

Do you ever feel like you fell into a time warp? Wildly polarized politics? Inflation that’s riding a rocket sled? A Roland Emerich movie in the theater? What’s next, people talking about Jumanji?
