Sun, 11 May 2008 Episode 54b - I Am Virtua Boy This episode I review Virtua Fighter: The Anime and Iron Man. Email Awesome: In this segment I talk about my April Fools day episode and why Cloverfield, although a great movie, has unlikable protagonists (unless you consider the monster the protagonist, in which case he is just cuddly). News New Dragonball anime I was right dagnammit! However, I may have been technically incorrect when I said it was for a Jump Festa. It appears to be for "Jump Super Anime Tour" Bandai Entertainment has licensed Gurren Lagann Gurren Lagann movie named, dated Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann: Guren-hen For September 6th in Japan Yep, I really like the Lagann.

Now for a brief interlude: Mario Brother's Plumbing by Smart Bomb Radio: Reviews Virtua Fighter Wikipedia's Entry For this Show This is a great show and you guys should really check it out. I have a feeling I forgot to talk about the fighting in this show in my review. It was glorious. The moves looked realistic and it was quite enjoyable to watch.

And for the record, it's not the best decade because it was the one in which I was born. No, it's the best because that's when Smurfs: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle was released.

Wow, after being pumped up like that on the show notes AND having our promo played as well, I going to have to pull some awesomicity outta the bag for the I ♥ The 80's Podcast.
On second thoughts, nah. Not going to bother. So there.

Well Eeeper, you showed me. I guess I have no choice but to turn Up a Paddle into the most triumphant 80's podcast to compete with you head on. It will be called "The Most Excellent 80's ♣" and it will be all snap bracelets, Coreys, and Care Bears all the time. It will be so totally tubular to the max that everyone will be like "Hello, McFly! I ♥ the 80's is bogus! It is like so 2007! Where's the beef?

@Dane, yeah, I should have known that. My ability to correctly pronouce Japanese names is less than stellar. I think in this case that since I didn't know how to pronounce it years ago when I first played Virtua Fighter that the bad habit just stuck.

Oh well, if you're going to be like that then I'm changing my mind again and producing a kickass podcast.
And yes I know my mind is fickle. It has the attention of a mayfly.

What were we talking about again?

Iron Man was great, no doubt, but it's still not the best Marvel movie. That still belongs to Ang Lee's Hulk, which is far better than that Norton joke that just came out.

Ang Lee's Hulk was 30 minutes of awesome sauce wrapped up in two hours of daddy issues*. It works great as an art house film but as a superhero movie, not so much. That's just my opinion, but I'm right. Also, hulk poodles.
However, I can't comment on the Incredible Hulk as I haven't had a chance to see it. I do plan to see this soon and will of course have a review.
Also, I'm aiming for June 30th, or July 1st for my next show. I'm actually out of the country on business right now but will be back soon. Right now I'm in New Jersey and tomorrow I'm going to be kickin it in New York, NY.
* Yes, I know the movie was only 138 minutes long. It felt longer, though. Hey Bob, remember when we were almost on the news when we went to see Hulk in the theatres? That was pretty sweet.
