With high expectations, listeners download podcasts to be better informed and entertained. But established media personalities seize control of the iTunes rankings in the name of popularity and brand recognition. The year is 2017. Nostalgia Pilots. In order to counter the armies of mediocrity, four podcasters scheme to bring a new show to the podopshpere, disguising it as a Mobile Suit Gundam rewatch podcast. But the show is often irreverent and hilarious.
Suit up!The imagery. The voices. The music. The deep philosophical ramblings about war and peace. Old enough to know better, two friends decide to tackle the sprawling space opera epic of Gundam Wing – a show they just can’t get out of their heads. High school is over and now they’re ready for a sophisticated, comprehensive and nuanced retrospective of all 49 episodes, free of the idiotic humor that formerly plagued all their discussions of the show. Maybe. Mission Accepted.
Do you remember Gundam Wing? We don't! Join Chuck (@chockus) and Dan (@daninrl) for a rewatch podcast and discussion all about your favorite memories of this giant robot show - whether they're right, wrong, or even exist at all! New episodes every two weeks!
Generation Animation is your in-depth look at all things animated. Cartoons, anime, CG, shorts, you name it! If it's animated, Generation Animation will break it down with expert discussion and amusing banter.
A Nostalgia Podcast
Is Star Trek: Voyager good... or is it garbage? Journey forward to the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Midnightien Later as he seeks to discern a final and legally-binding answer to this and other perplexing questions, one Voyager episode at a time. Is Janeway the purest exemplar of the overarching Star Trek ethos, or does she personify the dangers of dogmatic adherence to Starfleet’s institutional code? Is the Voyager a pretty ship? Why does the theme song never speed up? The court’s only ...
Series co-creator Jeri Taylor ends her run in the Voyager writers room by saddling B’Elanna with a big ol’ nasty space bug and saddling the rest of the crew with a big ol’ nasty ethical quandary. Is a helpful holographic manifestation of a Cardassian war criminal morally distinct from a Cardassian war criminal? If good is accomplished using knowled…
