Platoon Commentary Track

Hello and welcome back, Post Audio has been resurrected from the dead! Too bad the Johnny Silverhand engram will take us over. In the meantime though we're joined by two great returning guests to discuss the Netflix smash anime hit Edgerunners and delve a little into the CyberPunk experience. The format for the series has been switched a little bit, hopefully making for amore free form audio expierience. While we watched the anime show in the background, it is nt necessary to listen to this track while watching the show. Credits go to Juules who provided us with a spiffy intro riff. Thanks much!

Post Audio returns with a mix of something new... yet old. A college viewing classic to relax and laugh to. That would be Richard Linklater's 2016 Dazed and Confused pseudo-sequel Everybody Wants Some!! It whole-heatedly belongs within the show's theme of underrated classics. It's too bad since this film is one of those slice of life comedies that actually entertains. We hope you enjoy.

Start this commentary track as the "A Time Warner Entertainment Company" phrase appears with the red circle background. Editor's Note: We didn't specify but we were watching signature edition. On this week's return of Box Office Bombs, we revisit a literal bomb... or a space bomb to be correct. Watch as Brad Bird's 1999 directorial debut takes us back to a time when paranoia ran high and imagination was spurred by the cosmos. There aren't many of these box office failures that make us genuinely a little sad that they never made the money they were perhaps supposed to, but this most certainly is one of them. This was one of the most creative yet well-rounded animated flicks to be released... but it wasn't under the Disney backing. Oh well, that's life. Brad Bird would go on the get his well deserved recognition later on anyway, so not all is lost.

Start this commentary track before the Universal logo sunrise begins to appear. If you look up "cult film" in the dictionary, the Coen Brother's 1998 Neo-Noir comedy classic "The Big Lebowski" is the picture you see. It's the movie that was saved from almost certain obscurity by a couple of folks who happened to like the movie just a little too much. How could you blame them though? Anyway, Post Audio figured as a little wind down from aniMay, we would chill out with one of the comfiest scratchy cardigan films we could think of and enjoy a movie where the bums win! If only they could find that f***ing rug.

Start this commentary track before the "From A Far Away Place and Time Earth's Greatest Adventure Is About To Begin" title card appears. We are watching the original DiC edited episodes that include the Sailor Says PSAs. Editor's Note: Please excuse the long dropout from minute marker 35 to 36. We unfortunately had an audio dropout. It's the final weekend of the month, and that means its the end aniMay. Oh boy what a journey it has been! What better way to finish it out other than with "Earth's Greatest Adventure." Naoko Takeuchi's 1992 Sailor Moon adapted anime classic to be specific. We are joined by our last aniMay guest, Allie! Thanks so much for your encyclopedic knowledge on the topic. We would've talked a lot less without you on the track. Lastly, we had a blast throughout the whole month of aniMay and Post Audio along with our guests wish everyone the best. It couldn't have been done without all of you!

Start this commentary track as soon as the "Tokuma Shoten and Hakuhodo present" blue title card appears. Well, it wouldn't really be a celebration of anime in the west without a Miyazaki film. What better film to choose other than Hayao's first original film creation, "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" from 1984. Even though this isn't his directorial debut, it is the first movie to really lay out his themes and scriptwriting tropes as well as Studio Ghibli's (in this case Topcraft's) future animation techniques. Post Audio is joined today by artist and animator-in-training, Kaylee. Thanks not only for choosing this film but finding some to chat with us. It means a ton! We hope you enjoy our little tribute to the legend himself.

Start this commentary track before the DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME title card appears. Editor's Note: This is our first attempt at talking about a TV show, so there are some hiccups. If you'd like to follow along we made sure to announce when we have started each episode so you can stick with us. Its Post Audio's turn to Time Attack the Mt. Akina Downhill Run! Join on this twisty commentary racetrack through one of Anime's more unique ideas. This is our thoughts on Shuichi Shigeno's 1998 adaptation of his 1995 manga "Initial D." A show where the concept rubber meets the road but doesn't exactly get its wheels turning. We both acknowledge that this is a bit spicier take that what we normally have on the show, this being a beloved classic of the genre. Regardless, we're only a couple novices trying to put our knowledge to the test and it's all in good fun anyhow. We hope you enjoy!

If you're watching along with us, start this track at the first executive producer title card (just after the "EMOTION" title card). Hi Amigos! All three-thousand bounty hunters in the star system! How y'all doin'! Now its time for big sho... er... Cowboy Bebop The Movie (aka Knockin' on Heaven's Door) the movie that's all about fugitives! Post Audio discusses the show and the movie that got them into anime in the first place. Today's menu is a spicy serving of the 2001 space/noir/western/romance/adventure flick cooked up by director Shinichiro Watanabe and screenwriter Keiko Nobumoto. Consider this track as not only commentary about the movie specifically, but on a lot of the show (and Watanabe's other work) in general. This one is a personal favorite between the two of us, enjoy!

Start this commentary track before the WB Kids logo appears (if you are using the archive copy). Editor's Note: Unfortunately there were some internet connection problems in the episode. There will be some beeps and bops throughout the track, we hope you understand. Welcome to the month of aniMay! This will (fingers crossed) be a series of commentary tracks of Post Audio and guests covering our introductions into the world of Japanese animation. Our adventure kicks off from Pallet Town, a place where most of our own journeys began. Well, it's not exactly Pallet Town, but it is "Pokemon: The First Movie" aka "Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back." This 1998 film was directed by Kunihiko Yuyama and written by Takeshi Shudo. In this track we are joined by friend of the channel, Noah. Thanks for talking with us!

Start the commentary track at the second MGM Lion roar. Post Audio has been drafted for the Vietnam War! ...Kind of... well, as close as you can get to experiencing the Vietnam War through film today. That being Oliver Stone's Magnum Opus (love letter?) to the conflict that defined not only a generation, but a turning point in history itself. Strap on your flak jackets and tie up your combat boots. It's about to get controversial.
