0110: G-Saviour Review
Thursday Nov 23, 2023
Thursday Nov 23, 2023
The time has come to revisit G-Saviour - the first Gundam live action film from way back in 1999! If you don't CONSENT to this experience, now is your chance to back out! Join us as our hero Mark Curran serves up a sassy one-liner almost as often as his old pal Jack tries to murder someone; General Garneaux gets hot and heavy after green champagne; Mimi can't decide if she's a double agent or just a woman scorned; Gaia's engineers and farmers are unfairly fed to the mobile suit combat meat grinder; and we pine for the lineart designs compared to the end products. Plus, we discuss our favorite Sci-Fi Originals which include vampires, yetis, and the headless horseman!

0109: Battle Operation 2 Review
Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
You requested it - no - you demanded it! We finally sortie in Gundam Battle Operation 2! Will this be the one Gundam game to rule them all? As we fight our way through the tutorial gauntlet, the absurd matchmaking times, and the ancient UI just to play the game, we find our preferred MS on unusual sides - Isaac in the Guncannon and Brian in the Gouf Custom. What world is this? Plus, Isaac refuses to buy any custom parts and dies, and Brian buys all the custom parts, but still also dies. While it's better than Evolution, we're still holding out for Gundamfield and Gundam-Strike.

0108: Mail Call #5: Colony Drops, Cults, and Ascots!
Sunday Oct 22, 2023
Sunday Oct 22, 2023
It's time to empty our mailbag once more in this double-sized episode! Isaac reveals that Banagher makes him second guess Zeonism. What is worse - short series with terrible endings or long series that are terrible all the way through? Should Iron Mask be a newtype cult leader? Who cleans the toilets under Durandal's Destiny plan? Is Isaac wearing Dom underwear right now? What exactly is an ascot? And for the main event our California Isaac goes head-to-head with an Australian Isaac concerning exactly how bad the impact of Operation British would have been on Australia! Caution - we do real math in this episode!

0107: Victory Gundam Review Part II
Friday Sep 29, 2023
Friday Sep 29, 2023
We finally end the misery by flying through the rest of Mobile Suit Victory Gundam! The second half takes a dip before it tries to soar at the end as Shakti gets passed around like a football to move the plot along, Junko leaves Brian way too early, Uso bites Lupe's boob, Tassilo gets handsy with Fualla's bells, everybody in Zanscare backstabs each other, the good guys solve everything with kamikaze attacks, Katejina kills everyone you love, Cronicle bonks his head, and then everyone dies. The End. Are there any Zanscare fans out there? Do you exist? Hello?

0106: News Update: Freedom! Vengeance! Marriage?
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
On this episode, we catch up on the latest Gundam news from the past few months: Isaac thinks the new Requiem of Vengeance might involve the White Devil himself; the Gundam SEED movie lets us know exactly what it's about - FREEDOM (but not Justice); Bandai-Namco give their interpretation of Suletta and Miorine's "marriage." Plus, Evolution evolves straight to extinction, the Johnny Ridden manga ends, and Gundam comic kickstarter begins!

0105: Cucuruz Doan’s Island Review
Sunday Aug 20, 2023
Sunday Aug 20, 2023
We head back to the frontlines of the One Year War to review the 2022 film Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan’s Island (or Amuro’s Weekend Getaway, as Isaac calls it). The film is a cinematic side story in which Gopp hires women, M’Quve should’ve lead with the napalm, Doan teaches us how to milk a goat, Bright dual wields bridge phones, and the Jaburo propnunciation debate recurs. Plus, we miss the most important plot point (but figure it out in the end), discuss the implied morbidity of a full 0079 remake, and find evidence of The Bright Noa Academy for Gentlemanly Officers’ beginning in plain sight. If you haven’t already, go see this film now!

0104: The Witch from Mercury Review Part II
Monday Aug 07, 2023
Monday Aug 07, 2023
We conclude our review of Suletta and Miorine's journey in The Witch from Mercury! While we were rooting hard for the show, we agree the ending didn't stick the landing (missed the airport entirely, actually) as Delling sleeps through the back half, Elan Prime's pen is mightier than a space laser, Prospera is for some reason rewarded with a Quiet life and faces almost Zero consequences, and Suletta raises her Permet score above 8 (whatever that means) for the win. Plus, we pitch our sequels: Peil's Revenge and Shaddiq's Counterattack; and Isaac reveals his belief that clones aren't actually people!

0103: The Witch from Mercury Review Part I
Sunday Jul 09, 2023
Sunday Jul 09, 2023
We dive into the first half of the newest (and freshest!) Gundam series: The Witch from Mercury! Join us as we discuss how Lady Prospera is an enigma wrapped in a Daughtress mask, phlebotinium has a new flavor and it's called Permet, Suletta's age just doesn't add up, convertible bonds are a trap, and bigger guns = bigger fun. Plus, in a shocking development, Jeturk Heavy Machinery hits Isaac's previously undiscovered mobile suit thiccness limit and causes him to swipe left!
