Then in the industry news an upcoming ecchi anime is going to have varying levels of censorship, and KADOKAWA wants you to tell them your isekai stories.

Let’s look over the stack of papers on our desk. Doesn’t seem anyone has died too recently but everyone is talking about scary weather. So it must be summer and that puts us right in the mood to talk about frightening beaches where people die suddenly. No, we’re not talking about sharks or any famous movies featuring them. We have The Fog(1980). Yes, on the heels of making an iconic slasher film, John Carpenter got license to make a movie about ghost pirates. Naturally they called it the fog because that’s what the ghost pirates send in ahead. Which makes a lot of scenes in this movie like an angry … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 244: Accounting Fog"

You might find leprechauns ridiculous and unbelievable. Little gnomish folk with magical powers that hide gold at the end of rainbows? Dismissed with prejudice, you would say. Just as you might dismiss that we would do another manga episode. Yet here we are, in all our glory. So if we can come through, who is to say, truly, that you will never see a lookalike that could hawk you a sugary cereal product in person? You won’t but as a wise bard once sang, don’t stop believing. Tim has Can’t Stop Cursing You. There’s a bunch of curse gods and they like to make deals with mortals. One unnamed curse … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 537: Titsa Cursin"

You might not think that we ever get stuck for movies to pick for the show. What with Hollywood alone having been making films for over a century. Giving us a library of media you probably couldn’t watch in your lifetime without sacrificing your personal life and a significant portion of sleep. But that does happen and then we hear about an actor’s passing and it reminds us of their work. We have Walking Tall(1973). The late and sort of great Joe Don Baker stars in this somewhat autobiographical film based on the real life Buford Pusser. In the film, Buford comes back to his hometown after a wrestling career … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 243: Walking Time"

Prepare for stubble, shave in your bubble. Take a walk along the rubble. Uh, I think we’re out of rhyming words for the moment. And we’re not going to run to some generative LLM for help. So you’re stuck with this free form nonsense we cobbled together for the intro of this description. Enjoy it for the artisan goodness or badness as it were. Just know a real, dumb, human made it by punching a keyboard. Tim has a request in Hollow Grimoire. It’s an OEL about Hakem, a middle child, of a sorcerer family. He’s trying to prove himself and also avenge or maybe resurrect his dead mother. He … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 536: Desert Grimoire"

Either we’re buying in bulk or we have a coupon. Because once again we have another twofer. Perhaps it’s time to open a bulk review store where you can roll around. It might do gangbusters if we offer hotdogs and soda for a competitive price. Perhaps something like a dollar thirty five to undercut someone else. So if you find us dead, a certain CEO is responsible for it. First up is the movie everyone was talking about because of a recent papal passing, Conclave[2024]. It stars Ralph Finnes as a cardinal who’s appointed to oversee the conclave, which is the process of selection of the new pope. When all … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 242: The Confession"
