Corek posted:A good animation damnation might be that animated Hercules-Xena movie that was a cheap cash-in on the Disney Hercules. Never saw it, but a poster said it had THE REAL HERCULES and THE ONLY XENA. I watched that thing so many times as a kid. No chance it holds up.

thrawn527 posted:Did they really go into the birth of Jesus on Xena: Warrior Princess? Twice, iirc. One was an off-brand wandering preacher, who taught pacificm and monotheism and started a huge rear end religion that threatened the old gods and at one time Xena protected not Josepg and Maria and helped them set up camp in the stable.

The Vosgian Beast posted:There's an entire bad movie podcast to be made about lovely overly edgy 80s anime OVAs. Technically, there already is one. If you look through the review index, that's pretty much 90% of their content. But, if we're making a new one, A.D Police Files needs to be in there. Sometimes, women with cyborg vaginas just go kill-masturbation crazy instead of have normal periods.

Sleeveless posted:Pretty much all their complaints about Deadpool were plusses for me. I loved that it was so much smaller in scale and that it didn't end on a downer note. Yeah I just listened to this, and their Oscar episode, so that's a nice double-bill of dubious opinions. I didn't love DEADPOOL, but I did think that just making it simple and low-stakes completely worked in its favour. You don't need anything bigger than that, you don't need a conspiracy or some grand overarching plot. It kind of reminds me of the Marvel Netflix stuff, where it's a lot more just grounded (For a comic book movie). I also think that making his girlfriend be as filthy and as funny as him was refreshing (Even the damsel in distress stuff doesn't hold seeing as she gets herself out of it) but they seemed to take it as nerd pandering. I do agree the villain was a whole lot of nothing though, and if it's going to be that bland then just get someone who can bring some personality to the table.

I doubt too many millennials were walking out the theater going "but what did that MEAN??"

as someone who actualy lisend to the old radio show a bunch. ( i found it on the internet and in the library) it never really get into the "oriental" stuff. in the radio show, its mentioned in the opening that he got his powers(which may or may not be supernatural) when traveling in Asia and now he uses it to fight crime and poo poo. most of it is just the standard case of the week. someone gets murdered/robbery/kidnapping/whatever and him and margot dilly dally around until the hit a lead or a suspect. then the shadow fucks with him for a while (yeah the laugh is a thing he does, alot) then he either fucks them up/drives them insane/ or turns them into the cops. its a pretty interesting show.

Do you think they'd ever do Master of Disguise or is that just too tooth-grindingly frustrating? Is that on their "never do" list?
