Mobile Suit Breakdown: the Gundam Podcast

MSB is a weekly Gundam podcast for new fans, old fans, and not yet fans. Nina (a Gundam first-timer) and Thom (a lifelong Gundam fan) analyze, review, and research all 40-years of the iconic sci-fi anime mega-franchise Mobile Suit Gundam in the order it was made. We research its influences, examine its themes, and discuss how each piece of the Gundam canon fits within the changing context in Japan and the world, from 1979 to today. Part history podcast, part discussion podcast, all Gundam

Show NotesThis week on MSB: Uso and the League Militaire crew discover that to BESPA 'ceasefire' means the opposite of what you'd think, as the soldiers of Largaine Base resolve to use up all their ammunition, and every Zolo they've got, in one last desperate attack on the White Ark. Uso deploys a pro-gamer strat using the V2's nigh-miraculous Wings of Light, fish rain from the sky, and friend of the podcast Sarah McCostumes returns to talk about greebles, closet cosplay, and the most intense

Show NotesThis week on MSB, we're talking about motorcycles, bikes, biking, riding on motorbikes, traveling by bike, touring, voyages conducted primarily via gasoline-powered two-wheeled vehicles and looooooooove. Plus, part 2 of our miniseries on Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav wars that may or may not have inspired this dang show. Please listen to it!

Show NotesThis week on MSB, it's Victory Gundam episode 37. We talk a lot about life, death, fluids, and another anime you might have heard of before that came out around the same time as Victory. Please listen to it! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State,

More Cronicle Asher discourse than you'd expect, and a gosh dang wonder of the natural world. Plus, should we cancel beavers? The slideshow we used on this episode is here. Please listen to it!

2024/12/07

Show NotesThis week on MSB, we cover Victory Gundam episode 35 'Mother or Shahkti'. We can't even begin to guess what kind of impossible choice will be forced upon Uso! Plus - Flanders is there when you need him (somehow), Karlmann is so inured to weapons he doesn't mind becoming one, and Myra's impossibly good while Shahkti's just impossible. Then in the research, Thom thinks he knows precisely where Tomino found the name 'Zanscare'. Please listen to it! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded,

2024/11/23

Show NotesThis week - the fabled short episode finally manifests as the sheer magnitude of Zanscare's atrocities in Mexico leaves us with little else to talk about. Cronicle's crimes are as big as his tires, Nina makes (and loses) a new friend, Uso gets what he needs (with a little help from his friends) and Katejina's rhetorical strategy is unpersuasive.

We discuss cargo cults, infantilization as a function of government, virgin mothers, parallel character development, Victory's anti-feminism, all the stories that aren't being told, and of course: balls.

Sean offers bold takes on mechanical design and the ideal TV format for Tomino, Thom is surprised to learn that nerds listen to this show, and Nina gets everything she wants: clumsy mobile suits, a familiar voice actor, and the vindication of being right about everything all the time forever.

Show NotesThis week we're talking about Victory Gundam's infamous episode 29 (which depicts Uso being assaulted in a bath by an adult woman) and then Nina's research takes us down a dark path to talk about the Holocaust, its influence on Victory, and the racism in Tomino's depictions of Jewish characters. There's also a new mobile suit, I guess. It's pretty cool. Please listen to it (with discretion)! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and

The best laid plans of mice and men go awry this week as everything Uso and the Hiland crew do to avoid battle seems to backfire; Warren fires the missiles, a man sees his lifelong dream come to fruition, and we get a glimpse into life within Zanscare.

This week, special guests Nina and Thom stop by to chat about Gundam, the Tiger of Space, yet another stoic 30-something-year-old antagonist with a lesson to impart, and the worst group project ever. Plus we talk about names both new and old, inexplicable translation changes, and a turtle with pretty good energy. Please listen to it! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced
