Popcorn Pulse 30: Safe Below

Anime Pulse ·

2015/02/03

This episode does not feature, for once, an eighties semi-obscure sci-fi movie featuring a celebrity slumming for a paycheck. For a change of pace, it features a semi-obscure sci-fi flick from this decade instead. Safety Not Guaranteed [2012], a movie that’s based on a meme which is, in internet years, fossilized and hung up in museums. Let us explain why they butchered the movie with the ending. Tim then talks about As Above, So Below [2014]. Like so many low budget horror films before it,

2015/01/14

In this episode we tackle the movie that was as fleeting as the fame of its star, Robert Pattinson. Of course we’re talking about the Twilight star’s attempt to throw off the chains of vampire typecasting and become a serious actor in Water for Elephants[2011]. He’s accompanied by Reese Witherspoon who’s character is younger than his while she’s a decade his senior. Also Christoph Waltz who plays an evil Nazi working in a circus. Together, they will rescue an elephant

Popcorn Pulse 29: Singlecorn End

Anime Pulse ·

2015/01/11

Confusion and distraction run amok in this episode as Tim and Weltall do their best to talk about late nineties classic, Dante’s Peak(1996). In it, James Bond loses a girlfriend to a volcano and then declares war on lava spewing mountains. After killing a number of gelatinous talk show hosts, he takes a vacation in the state of Washington where he hopes to wait out the years until legalization. However, being a vulcanologist, Bond has spent many a days and nights blaspheming the ancient Greek

Popcorn Pulse 28: Assault on Time

Anime Pulse ·

2015/01/03

Chance can be a fickle master at the best of times and often leaves you when you need it most. And so it was for Wetall when Tim got to choose the movie for the joint review this episode. Tim picked the original Assault on Precinct 13(1976) by John Carpenter. Tim likes it for the atmosphere being an action film shot in the style of a horror movie. Weltall was frustrated by the incredibly slow pacing at the beginning and the seemingly senseless direction. Though we both agreed some of the lines were

Manga Pulse 324: It Hurts

Anime Pulse ·

2014/12/19

It is time, once again, for an episode where we discuss the mangas. That’s right, we talk about the drawings done in panels which purport to be some sort of art. In our continuing quest to prove otherwise, Tim and Weltall perform admirably and full of vinegar. Tim digs into a recommendation, Watashi ga Motete Dousunda, and butchers the Japanese title so badly that it’s only fit for use by the Taco place renowned for cheap cuisine. In it a girl who is plain and overweight calls out of

Popcorn Pulse 27: What Wound

Anime Pulse ·

2014/12/18

There was a time in the nineties when Steven Segal’s agent would actually call him back. This was around the same time he actually fit into suits and didn’t look ridiculous squinting angrily at anyone who dared put their fists in his personal space. It was the nineties and it was a heady time for all of us. Then the millennium came and went and we discovered he wasn’t all that cool. Hollywood still hadn’t gotten the memo so they stuff Segal into a uniform and a movie, paired

Manga Pulse 323: Hell Sword

Anime Pulse ·

2014/12/09

We’re here once again to talk about the power of the dash. Some people prefer heat seeking missiles or the old fashioned machine guns but a quick burst of speed will always be our personal favorite. There’s nothing quite like punching it when someone attempts to come up from behind and leaving them in your wake. Tim has plucked yet another recommendation because listeners are wonderful and he is lazy. Which is how he ended up reviewing “In the Clothes Named Fat”. It is a

Hosted by Tim and Vanessa With the smashing success our last show was we knew we had to do another. That is to say, it wasn’t actually up yet and no one could respond to it. So we went ahead and recorded another one without feedback because we sometimes do what we want. The focus of this show is the brief obsession everyone experienced with Michael Crighton back in the nineties. Everyone knows and loves the Jurassic Park adaptation and it made all the money when it came out. So naturally every

Popcorn Pulse 26: Chicago Adventures

Anime Pulse ·

2014/12/02

In the great tradition of mashups comes a film from the nineties that takes Short Circuit and Friday the 13th and blends them without care for the end result. We do our joint review, based on a recommendation, on Evolver from 1995. And like all movies about technology from that decade, it features VR helmets and polygon graphics that would embarrass anyone who’s ever held a joystick. Luckily for everyone, the main thrust of the film has little to do with shitty video games as imagined by a

2014/12/02

Hosted by Tim and Vanessa Welcome to a new series wherein Tim and Vanessa discuss one of the most complicated and annoying issues. No, not that. So like, complicated and annoying within pop culture. No, not social issues within media. Something a bit more nitpicky. Fine, we’ll just tell you. We’re talking about the adaptations of books over to film. Our discussions won’t be nitpicking the specific details unless we feel it impacts the plot, message or if we feel it was just too

Manga Pulse 322: Witch Art Online

The show that almost didn’t happen because of cars. Damn you machines and your need for repairs! Why can’t you just be like Transformers and fix yourself without our intervention! Get on that Google peoples and make it snappy. As with all requests, it sometimes takes a bit of search-fu to confirm that, no, we haven’t done that particular series. So Tim was left with no other choice than to review Sword Art Online. Which happens to be yet another series where people get sucked into

Popcorn Pulse 25: Hallow End

Anime Pulse ·

2014/10/31

Being as this was made and intended as a Halloween companion episode, or at least themed as such, we decided that a throwback into something within the horror genre would do. Which left us with the mere burden of choice. What to choose? A slasher or zombie flick would be expected though trite. We both abhor found footage and similar films so that left quite a few movies in the bin. So we settled on a classic story, redone possibly as often as Shakespeare within horror, Dracula 2000. Set in the year

Manga Pulse 321: Boobs of Love

2014/10/24

It’s that time again where the numbers in the episode line up in sequential order. Sure it’s descending but it’s still very satisfying. Like finding out that you’ve got no spare parts left over after assembling some flat packed furniture. Within this mighty episode, Tim reviews Gokukoku no Brynhildr. We’re treated to a hard working student, wracked with guilt over the death of his childhood friend. When a girl shows up as a transfer student, groan, looking exactly like

Sometimes we like to perform scientific experiments here in the pulse network. We are, after all, prone to bias just as the next squishy humans in spite of our expensive cybernetic upgrades. For example, there is the hypothesis that when Tim picks the movie of the week Weltall is sad. In yet another test done towards that end we did a joint review of Ghost in the Machine. A vehicle for Karen Allen of “Who the fuck is that? Oh yeah, the lady from Raiders of the Lost Ark” fame. It also

Manga Pulse 320: Meteor Men

Anime Pulse ·

2014/10/10

There’s probably a point where some poor bastard mangaka was sitting at their desk and trying desperately to think up a story for a deadline. “Gee, if only something would fall from the sky and knock my ass out so I have an excuse my editor will accept.” At that point, a coconut was conveniently dropped by a passing pair of pigeons some nut had tied together with string and bean them. After the coma wore off they penned the story Suashi no Meteorite, which Tim reviews. In it, the

Popcorn Pulse 23: Viva la French Cinema

2014/10/07

For our joint review this week, we decided to reach back to the days when reality shows had just begun to dip with the appearance of the cancerous lesion known as Paris Hilton. The, now, long forgotten movie The Hunted from 2003. Though we were intrigued by The Hunted from 1995, featuring Chris Lambert, of Highlander fame, and may have to watch that some time. It stars Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro. Del Toro plays a sort of murder happy Bear Grylls trained by Jones. When Del Toro goes a bit

Manga Pulse 319: Girl Crime

Anime Pulse ·

2014/10/03

Sometimes life is just full of surprises. Like a train that manifests and runs you off the road when you start singing Ironic by Alanis Morisette. Other times it can be fairly predictable. Like when Tim digs into his list of requests to find a manga to review. Tim decided this time to review a manga call Crime Zone. In accordance with manga laws, there is neither a crime nor a zone to be found within. Sure, some of the vampires in it do commit crimes, assuming that murder is still considered a crime

2014/10/01

If there’s one thing you can certainly say about the nineties, it was that it eventually lead to the two thousands. Also, the Matrix. But in between there was a movie called Fled. Someone in Hollywood thought, hey isn’t Alec Baldwin popular right now? Yeah but we can’t afford him so here’s Stephen Baldwin. Also Laurence Fishburne before he got stuck playing a chubby Morpheus who wants to sell you a car. Tim and Weltall discuss the many, many nonsensical decisions that are

There is a special breed of nerd that doesn't pop up in the usual places. Their crack is not teasers of the latest Marvel movie or screenshots of the potential bomb being built by DC. Theirs are spec sheets and exploded views in maintenance manuals and fiddly arguments on lone message boards with other engineer minded folks.
