0120: The Plot to Assassinate Gihren Review Part 1
Tuesday Jul 16, 2024
Tuesday Jul 16, 2024
The One Year War is almost at its close in December 0079, but something is amiss in the Principality of Zeon... We follow Leopold Fieseler's investigation of the shadowy organization known as Valkyrie which has one goal - to kill Gihren Zabi! If you enjoy Gundam politics and One Year War lore, The Plot to Assassinate Gihren is a veritable multicourse dessert. We take in a Zeonic opera, witness another use of the Ginias juice, see a firefighting Z'Gok in action, and slowly learn that Kycilia has eyes and ears everywhere. Plus we discuss how many Gwazine's exist and contemplate whether General Henri's Colony Defense Battalion is a bunch of sandbagging SOBs!

0119: Five Gundam Things We Want More Of!

Monday Jun 10, 2024
We discuss our lists of five battles, characters, mobile suits, scenarios, or situations we want to see more of in future Gundam projects. Isaac digs deep for more faction lore, including the nukes of Blue Cosmos, the corporate militaries in the Ad Stella timeline, and even all seven space wars! Meanwhile, Brian asks for clarity on the rarely referenced Four Avengers, the mysterious Valkyrja frames, and the wannabe noble Buch family. Plus, we talk about the Bugs for the second episode in a row - that has to be some sort of Gundam podcast record! Let us know what you want to see more of!

Pull up a chair to hear the tale of how on May 8, 2024, we became two of the most unlucky Gundam fans in the United States trying to watch the new film Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom. In better news, we will be running Gundam trivia at Anime Expo 2024! Plus, we have a new mascot and need you to help us name her! Double plus, Sunrise reanimated part of Aura Battler Dunbine? Are you kidding me? Attack, attack, attack~~~!

You might have been thinking, "Wow, did Gundam 00 really kill Brian and Isaac?" The answer is no. We would never relent to our nemesis! On this episode, we focus all our newtype potential into finishing the fight against the Innovade menace in Gundam 00 Season 2! This show raises the stakes in the back half as Ribbons abuses his brain WiFi powers; Graham becomes Mr. Weeaboo; Lyle replaces Neil even though cyborg-Neil is a way better idea; Louise and Saji forget how to use a phone; Sumeragi hooks up with Allelujah (or was it Hallelujah?); and Setsuna evolves into an Innovator because reasons. Plus, we discuss Gundam the Musical, the prospect of livestreaming nude limbo, and even make a Beerfest reference.

Finally, the time has come to face our nemesis. We embark on an exhausting discussion/review of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 1! While Celestial Being tries to eradicate war, we find that Sunrise did not learn from Gundam Wing's lessons on boredom; Alejandro is The Man with the Golden Gun; OO beats SEED in volume but not in the physics department; and that spider mobile armors truly are the fiercest killers in the mobile weapon kingdom! Plus, Isaac prays for nukes and issues a PSA about buying GN Drives from Temu.
Lock-on! Lock-on! Lock-on!

We board the Thoroughbred, a covert Pegasus-class ship, armed with Gundam Units 4 & 5 and head toward Granada to fend off Zeon during the final stage of the One Year War! While Gundam pilots Ford Romfellow and Luce Cassell work on their teamwork, Isaac declares there are just too many damn Gundams! #OnlyOneGundam! Zeon counters with the skeptical General Nord and the blunt object named Mallet Sanguine in the terrifyingly fast Act Zaku from Pezun. Can the Gundam pilots get it together in time to stop Mallet’s rage? Plus, we digest the rocky Konpei Island vs. Confeito naming issue!

If Gundam Evolution taught us anything, it's that Sunrise ripped off the wrong game. But here at Sunset, we are smarter than that. We know exactly which game Sunrise should rip off next. Join us as we lay the foundation for what would easily be one of the most fun Gundam games of all time: Gundam Smash Bros.! We discuss potential characters, stages, items, assist trophies, and more! Plus, we hit tangents of all kinds including Diddy Kong Racing and Wizpig, IG-88 and R2-D2, and whether the SEED Freedom film might include a Kira Yamatwo. Extra points for any listeners who can guess our Smash mains before we reveal them!

0113: Gundam Thunderbolt Review
Thursday Jan 18, 2024
Thursday Jan 18, 2024
We tour the ruins of Side 4 in Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky and Bandit Flower where the Federation's Moore Brotherhood goes head-to-head with Zeon's Living Dead Division for control of the Thunderbolt Sector during the One Year War. Or as we like to think of it - that time when a bunch of Federation volunteers led by some rich kids fought amputees over control of a junkyard in a universe where ice sinks. We discuss how prosthetic technology seems to have regressed, Zeon's patented shoot n' scoot strategy, the Federation's tendency to slap first and ask questions later, the Psycho Zaku's bootleg psycommu, and the Atlas Gundam's magic skis that also somehow both fly and float. Plus, we talk about pies!
