Anime Hell: The Throwdown at Ohayocon!

I've been very busy getting things prepared for the two nights of Anime Hell programming scheduled at Ohayocon, Jan 30 - Feb 1 in Columbus OH. Since we're doing two nights of shows, the other co-hosts and I thought it might be a good idea to wrap everything up in a pro wrestling theme, with Friday being "RAW" and Saturday being "SmackDown". Yeah, I know Smackdown's on Friday... it's the spirit of the thing!

So here I present to you the opening for Friday night's show! It might be worth checking the YouTube link to see the high quality version, which is, surprisingly, a good deal better.

Lather's Blather Special #02: Twilight's Last Reaming

Back in the new year with another Matt Murray-penned review episode, this time disemboweling the teenage vampire fantasy Twilight. Marvel at the lack of respect for vampire lore and storytelling!

Direct download is here.

Oh, and as extra bit of pain, here's the music video for DJ BoBo's "Vampires Are Alive". I reiterate that the paths of these two things have probably never crossed, and I only do so here for the sake of comedy. Ha. Ha ha ha.

Lather's Blather Episode #12: John McCain's Large Intestine

You may begin the rejoicing....now.


Okay, that's enough. At long last I have new content for you! Tremble before a deadly tag-team of animated clunkers: Thunder Prince and Beauty & Warrior! Have a little extra turkey with your Thanksgiving.


Screencaps and notes to follow.

What Is Best In Life?

Rest assured that episode 12 of the podcast is definitely in production. The Cohort came through and shortly after I sounded the call I had Beauty & Warrior in hand and attacking me, much as the monster textbook attacked Harry Potter...

Anyway, for those of you who are going through withdrawal symptoms until the next episode is released I present my recent appearance on the I ♥ The 80’s Podcast, hosted by Eeeper where I spent a good hour and a half dissecting and reveling in the awesomeness that is Conan the Barbarian.

Give it a listen!

Calling the Cohort to action!

So yeah, I've got this podcast thing lanquishing in drydock. The subject for the next episode is a gruesome twosome of Digiview Entertainment offerings: Thunder Prince and Beauty and Warrior. I have copies of both, shelling out $1 apiece for them at Wal-Mart.

I've watched Thunder Prince and am ready to proceed with the review for it, but Beauty and Warrior... Well, I'd like to speculate that the disc itself became sentient and, in an effort to spare the world further exposure to the movie through my podcast review, elected to break free from its mooring in the DVD case and scratch itself to unplayablity. I can get through the first thirteen minutes, and then lockup.

This is where you come in! Do you have a DVD copy of Beauty and Warrior I could borrow? Do you even have--gasp!--a torrent link? Contact me--you can be the savior of this episode!

In the meantime, I think it's in the best interest of getting the podcast back on the air, so I'm going to shelve this episode until I can properly confront Beauty & Warrior. I'm not going to reveal the subject--you'll just have to wait and listen!

Stay patient, folks. This is the kind of seasonal release schedule you've come to expect and loathe!
