0047: Gundam Live-Action Film Heads to Netflix

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/04/24

We discuss the recent bombshell news that Legendary is bringing the live-action Gundam film to Netflix! This has our minds racing: Are all anime to live-action adaptations doomed? Is the director a Gundam fan? Is it even possible to fit the One Year War into a two hour film? Will there be a montage? Will being made for Netflix impact the budget? Should a Gundam film be set in our timeline? Brian K Vaughn and John Vogt Roberts - you have our heat hawks, do us proud.

0046: Gundam SEED Review Part III

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/04/17

We launch toward Jachin Due to begin the back half of our Gundam SEED review! Isaac opens his Blue Cosmos HQ to answer all of Brian's questions. Does SEED have an acronym problem? Are coordinators really all that great or were naturals just using Windows 95? Is Patrick Zala a vengeful chef? Would you eat Junius 7 rock candy? Is Lakoose more like Cardi B or Billie Eilish? Plus, Mwu finally docks with Ramius, Lord Izumi is an idiot, and Rau channels his inner Char with Flay. Launch the

0045: Top Five Gundam Ending Songs

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/04/07

We count down our top five favorite ending songs across all the Gundam universes! Saxes are underrated (or are they?), G Gundam gets through on a technicality, and both of our top choices turn out to be stunners. Plus, Isaac creates his own ending theme - The Dom Song! Let's sing all together now, Amuro Furimukanaide~~~

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/03/31

A new live-action Gundam series appears out of nowhere... it's Gundam Build Real! Plus, Isaac's archenemy returns in the newest MSG Hathaway trailer (also featuring Xi vs. Penelope action)! And look at all this cool new(ish?) merchandise - a replica of Char's helmet, the Zeon grunts finally get their articulated due, and the leader of the New Desides takes his rebellion to the Master Grade scale!

0043: Gundam SEED Review Part II

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/03/24

We conclude our review of the first half of Gundam SEED by discussing the characters, the mecha, and whether the show holds up compared to our memories. Kira is Jesus, Mwu is chill, Flay has no chill, Rau has a magic map, Athrun is a bad boyfriend, and deep down Yzak is just mad he got the boring Gundam. In a surprise twist, Isaac allies not with Zeon ZAFT but with the Earth Alliance in order to preserve our blue and pure world! Better send some GOOhNs to correct his attitude!

0042: Gundam SEED Review Part I

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/03/18

Can you believe Gundam SEED is almost 20 years old?! We dust off our phase shift armor to see how the series holds up and to try out the new dub. We begin our review by tackling the first half's plot. Is Ramius an unnecessary hostage-taker? Who is Lakoose and what did she do with Lacus? Is Kira a bully for beating up some Zoids? Did George "Definitely Not John" Glenn steal a Jupitris-class from the UC? For the preservation of our blue and pure world!

0041: Top Five Gundam Opening Songs

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/03/08

Join us as we count down our top five opening songs across all Mobile Suit Gundam timelines! Our journey includes discussing if the saxophone is dead, SEED(D)'s top notch bounce physics, our charity idea for orphans (iron-blooded, perhaps?), and 1980s space rock. With our top five on record, we arrive at a critical question that needs your input - who should sing the theme song for the Gundam live action film?

0040: Char’s Counterattack Review Part II

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/03/02

We conclude our review of the climactic 1988 film, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. On this episode, Char defeats his own plan, the Alpha Azieru is designed by the Death Star engineers, and Zeon unapologetically uses the color blurple. We also discuss the mobile suits, our head canon for the cyber newtype enhancement process, and whether the film sticks the landing.

0039: Char’s Counterattack Review Part I

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/02/24

We review Char's Counterattack - the theatrical film released in 1988 that served as the conclusion to the original Mobile Suit Gundam story. Featuring the final, knock-down-drag-out duel between Amuro Ray and Char Aznable, this film is densely packed with annoying teenagers, gold bars (the currency of the future!), mystery pasta, newtype space magic, and even a Mexican standoff that would make Tarantino proud. The DVD sleeve was pretty sweet too. RIP Astonaige Medoz, you magnificent mechanic.

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/02/16

You filled up the mailbag again so we're clearing it out! Should the UC NexT 0100 project steer clear of newtype kids with famous parents? Should the Federation have taken the Gundam away from Amuro? Plus, we discuss the lost ZZ dub, the 30 Minute Mission Kits, Gundam Battle Operation 2, the G-Generation series, and the entire development history of the Neue Ziel - from the Zero GR to the Alpha Azieru!

0037: Mobile Fighter Ideas

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/02/05

We present our ideas for new Mobile Fighters in advance of the Future Century's next Gundam Fight! On the way, we answer the hard hitting questions, such as what Mobile Fighter(s) does the Vatican have up its holy robe sleeves? Is Neo North Korea's itchy launch finger to blame for the Earth Chaos War? Did humanity really think Neo Antarctica's penguins wouldn't be out for revenge? We look forward to hearing your Mobile Fighter ideas in the future!

0036: The Gundam Movie vs. COVID-19: Who Will Survive?

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/01/25

Is COVID-19 endangering the Gundam live action movie? No one really knows, but we doubt even newtypes are immune to the virus' economic wrath. On a more positive note - MSG is now available to stream (legally)! And, the new SEED dub has arrived but with a few caveats you should know about. This episode now with more ASMR.

0035: Gundam F91 Review Part II

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/01/19

We conclude our review of the wild ride that is Mobile Suit Gundam F91! The VSBR is thicc, the bugs are terrifying WMDs, Zabine is a badass, Karozo is a weirdo, and Meitzer is... either senile or playing some great 3D chess. This is only the beginning! (Narrator: It was also the end) Cecily!!

2021/01/11

We arrive at a pivotal point in our UC NexT 0100 journey: Gundam F91 - the film that was supposed to launch a post-Zeon saga in 1991. In part one of our review, we discuss F91's problems in context, the Ronah family's on-screen dysfunction and off-screen history, and how nothing Cecily does makes any sense. CECILY!

In perhaps our wackiest episode yet, we present our ideas for holiday themed mobile suits. This inevitably leads to the creation of a plot for our very own Gundam Holiday Special! Happy New Year, everybody!

Our UC NexT 0100 journey continues! We play through the well known and immensely popular Super Famicom game titled Mobile Suit Gundam F91: Formula Wars 0122 released only in Japan in 1991.

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2020/12/14

We finish off our rundown of Gundam video games you might enjoy. This week we cover a game that features the Devil Gundam coming to our universe to kill us all, a game that let's you play as a Zeon special forces unit with the coolest name ever, and a series that allows you to choose the outcome... even if it leads to Tem Ray's AI taking over the Earth sphere!

2020/12/07

We discuss which of the 200+ Mobile Suit Gundam video games out there that you might want to play. In part one, we cover the game with the highest rating but maybe not the best spelling, the game with the best worst superweapon involving unstoppable plants, and the game that is unquestionably the GOAT of true mobile suit combat immersion - Bonds of the Battlefield!

0028: Gundam Silhouette Formula 91 Review

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2020/12/01

We go back to 1992 for a second helping of Formula flavored manga with Silhouette Formula 91 in UC 0123. Will it taste as sweet as F90...? Despite a classic cast of unforgettable top-tier characters like Logical Layla, Master Kevin, Bureaucrat McMystery, and a guy named Baz, the character that rose to the top was none other than Elizabeth (any answer besides Subit is wrong). Buckle up for this bumpy ride.
