Everybody needs socks. Not just the day to day boring old socks, mind you. You need some nice warm, cushy socks that will help keep your feet safe in the colder months. We’re not shilling any particular brand or anything but after watching today’s movie, Jeremiah Johnson(1972), we’re reminded of the need for good winter gear. Jeremiah Johnson is based very loosely based on both a real mountain man...

We almost need a new term after this episode. Something to describe getting bad manga out of a grab bag. It’s much like getting some sort of STI though in this case it’s going to the whorehouse and not bringing along a condom on purpose. Stupid Tankabon Inside? We’ll workshop some stuff and completely forget. Until then, on with the manga review. Tim has My Isekai Life. Yuji is a young office dron...

In a turn of events we decided to take a trip to the island of Japan as a theme. What kind of theme could we pluck out of cinema from the land of the rising sun? Would it be films of the samurai? Lightning fast martial arts? How about slow boil romances where everyone acts like they’re taking ketamine off screen? You shall have to see now. First up is Yakuza Apocalypse[2015]. It’s about an apocaly...

Summer’s coming to a close. Labor day has passed and that means the days are starting to turn. That also means our convention has come and gone.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be good at your job? So good that you would be brought out of retirement for one last job? That’s how we ended up slinging space donuts at the Convention of Peace Officers in Chicago six years ago. Was it worth the six dollars an hour and all the mini donuts you can eat? Some people would say no. Those people have never seen the look on a con goers face when you hand them a...

This week on VG Pulse, I talk about my first week at my new job!!

You know how states have gotten ridiculous about designations of things? Like how every state has a flower, a song, and a flag. We’re going to petition Colorado to make us their official podcast. Just one second as we submit that. Oh, and we’ve already gotten a response. It’s a restraining order preventing us from emailing them ever again. Guess it’s back to pen and paper mail. In the meantime, he...

“in the mists of the lost time known as the 13th hour of every day where time stops for all men that was gone. But as we know all endings are just beginnings have ends as all ends have beginnings like that of a incomplete circle. That just have completed smaller ones were completed sooner than others. Here we have a tale once thought lost to time is found the great depths lives once more by...

We’ve done quite a few Nicolas Cage films so what’s a few more? The question is can we keep finding themes within his filmography as it shrinks while we review it? Can he grow his library faster than we can review it? There’s only one way to find out and that’s to press on boldly. We opted to try and find three films where Cage was a thief or a conman. First up is Stolen[2012]. Cage plays a thief,...

Two boxes of farm fresh reviews. Hand selected, never touched by AI. That’s our promise to you. Those dastardly clankers won’t get their oily mitts on our work. We’ll keep doing this our way because our listeners don’t tolerate stilted voices reading barely sensible scripts cranked out by someone with excess tokens to waste. Tim has Mars Red. It’s set in Japan in the nineteen twenties. There are v...

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had a solid theme episode around Nicolas Cage. But just grabbing three movies of our patron saint is too easy. The man has a long filmography which makes it way too easy to cherry pick. So we decided to narrow things down and focus on Westerns made with Cage. First up is Gunslingers[2025]. We start off with some atrocious CGI establishing the era and time. Three...

Then in the industry news we have none, don't worry though Andrew will talk about something later on. And finally round four of previews has Joseph escaping from horny women so he ca...

Another manga show, so another pair of manga and a pair of ratings. Just another day in paradise where the manga is always ready to be smacked down or uplifted. You would be wrong though and gloriously so. We actually have three manga today though one dovetails right into the other. Like a box joint of mixed metaphors. Tim has a request in Dragonball. Yes, the manga the really made Akira Toriyama...
