Lather's Blather Episode #10: An Explosion in a PiƱata Factory

Okay, no fooling--the Flash Gordon review is here.

For serious. Temporary direct download is here. I will be announcing new hosting shortly.


Prepare yourself for:

RAPE FACE!

RAPE FACE!

RAPE FACE!


hut-hut-hut-hut-hut!


Little people in metalflake pillowcases.


My primo homey Klytus with Deep Roy as Fellini. Yes, as in Frederico Felini.


Awesome cigar-shaped spaceships.


Glazed nose in full effect.

Lather's Blather Episode #10: You Wouldn't Get This from Any Other Guy




The hour is late and the flesh is weak. Suffice it to say that I will be back later this day to expand on this skeletal of notices for what is bound to be a very talked-about episode of the podcast.

Direct download is here, and I promise that these direct download links are going to change fairly soon.

Awaken, Mighty DAWDLER!!!1


I've appeared on yet another episode of Paul Chapman's The Greatest Movie Ever! podcast, this time regaling his listenship with tales of woe and wonder from 2007's South Korean epic (fail) known as D-WAR. Ready yourself for CGI dragons, CGI armies, miserable directing and pitiful attempts at acting.

I humbly offer this in place of episode 10 of Lather's Blather, for now.

Lather's Blather Episode #09: Two Words - Train Fu


Feel free to choose your metaphor: a submarine surfacing after months below the ocean, the first daffodils of springtime punching through the last vestiges of a winter's frost, the light at the end of the tunnel, the arrival of the pizza delivery man...

I'm back! And I've got a new episode to share with you! The subject, other than regaling (boring) you with tales from real life, is Muteki Kanban Musume, a fun little romp through the tried and true standards of shonen fighting shows.

Direct download is here.



Oh and this is for Daryl:

This is your horse.


This is my horse. I am 6'4" tall. My horse is a tall horse. Yes he is!
(Hello there, SASS! I seeee yoouuuu.)

Lather's Blather Episode #08: Sorayama Bikini Robots Couldn't Make This More '80s



Gcast accepted the upload successfully this morning ,so everyone who subscribes via iTunes or other similar software ought to be receiving the file today.

The podcast's episodes will be moving to a new, generously offered hosting space. I will fix the show titles and ID3 tags so that they're all consistent, and it ought to be a more reliable way to upload new episodes than Gcast.

I'm pretty sure that I'll have to set up a new feed, meaning the current one for iTunes will be broken. But in the meantime I'll use Gcast for this one.

What I also need to do is listen to this entire beast myself to make sure I didn't screw something up in Audacity during the arduous editing process.

Episode 8 is here. Huzzah.



Show notes begin hither.

My Steam nickname is [LLJK] RichLather, because I am after all a loyal SomethingAwful forums goon, and almost invariably goon-related gaming activities are a good thing.

Carnage and chaos ensue...

...while the band plays on.


Franken's Gears
The eccentric Dr. Franken...

...and his dark, dark lab. I think I'll need to treat this and a couple others in Photoshop.

Deprive
Gaze upon the awesomeness of Space Hard Gay.

"Am I not...the shit?"

Burning justice knows no boundaries of animal, vegetable or mineral.


Presence
If you've never seen soccer before, this is not what is known as a "header".

Like a virgin... touched for the very first time...

A glimpse of the curiously disposable high technology in this story.

1980s fashion is where it's at.

I know I promised you pathetic perverts that magazine link, so here you go:
I-doloid
(It's in Japanese, of course)

Now imagine every tiny fragment and droplet...and more...fully animated.


Starlight Angel
Our erstwhile robot and the lost necklace he tries to return.

And our nameless heroine, who lost the necklace.

You can see why I called this guy Char Aznable.

Spot the reference #1: Tetsuooooooo!

Spot the reference #2: "Men, we're going to the Olympics!"

"It's a small world after aaaaaaaaiiieee!"


Cloud
This would be a pretty awesome poster, if you ask me.

As would this.

And so would--you know what? Cloud as a whole is equally pretty.


Strange Tale of Meiji Machines
(aka A Tale of Two Robots)
The always hysterical John Jack Volkerson III

Introducing first, the challenger...

...and his opponent!

This is a perfect visualization of "starting off on the wrong foot".

"Inconceivable!"

Our heroes, steadfast in the face of danger.

And the crowd goes wild!
It's this kind of character design that endears me to this story.

This is why they fight: for the glory of the rising sun.

Even if it's really the setting sun.


Chicken Man and Red Neck (aka Nightmare)
I should probably lighten these up in Photoshop.

No really, I need to lighten these up a tad.

When the humans are away, the machines come out to play.

That's good old-fashioned nightmare fuel.

The salaryman Ichabod Crane.

And his adversary, the robot demon lord's herald.
This is where bricked Xbox 360s go when they die.

The Robot Carnival in happier days.

Another of the missing pictures that Streamline
unceremoniously dumped from the US release of Robot Carnival.
