0086: Mail Call #4: Wing, Marida Cruz, Linkin Park, and The Man with No Name!

0085: Top 5 Mobile Suit Weapons

We countdown our top 5 favorite mobile suit weapons!  From beam rifles to beam sabers, from heat hawks to bazookas, we're scouring all timelines for those weapons of war near and dear to our hearts.  In this episode, Isaac forgets how to count and brings a list of 8, Mark Gatha shouts attacks during surgery, we decide that Bandai should do a collaboration with Nerf, and Isaac gets tripped up by fin funnel geometry.  What are your top 5 MS weapons of all time?  Let us know!

0084: Stardust Memory Review Part II

Solomon, we have returned!  In this double-sized episode, we conclude our review of Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory! This episode is all about the show's multitude of conspiracies and their players - Earl Grey, Coliny and his cat, Jamitov, Bask Om and his goggles, O'Sullivan, Cima - basically everybody!  Plus, we ask the hard questions like, was Cima really a hero the whole time?  What happened to Coliny after 0083?  Why can't Nina accept her ex-boyfriend is a mass murderer?  How can Kowen get revenge on Coliny and Jamitov?  Should Bandai make a Master Grade Dendrobium Orchis? (Yes!)  

0083: Stardust Memory Review Part I

To commemorate episode 0083, we review Isaac's favorite series - Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory!  In this double-sized episode, we call for listener renditions of The Winner's saxophone, admire all of the Delaz Fleet's sharp dressers (here's looking at you, Cima), wonder how Lt. Burning aka Lt. Brown Leather Wallet got his tan, and agree that Monsha is human garbage.  Oh and watch out for those thuggish Lunarians lurking around every corner!  Commence Operation Stardust!

0082: The Witch From Mercury - Story, Characters, and MS, Oh My!

Information about The Witch from Mercury has finally been revealed!  Cue wild and reckless speculation!  In a world full of space corporations, meet protagonist Suletta Mercury (she's from Mercury).  Isaac loves a good space corporation tale.  Will there be Harry Potter/ Game of Thrones like houses?  Will we get a tournament arc?  Is Guel angry because his name is weird?  What is up with the Dilanza?  Is Shaddiq our Char but with poofy pants this time?  We trust in Suletta to save us all

0081: Crossbone Gundam: Steel 7 Review Part III

Our suicide mission aboard the Icarus comes to an end as Tobia and the rest of the Steel 7 arrive at Jupiter to destroy the colony laser.  Will Tobia's X-1 Full Cloth be enough to handle the Callistos and their Dictii?  Amidst the fierce battle, we ponder if Giri's Vigna Ghina II was formerly owned by Dorel Ronah, ask why Giri hates the Callistos so much (bagels are involved), agree to disagree about space geometry, and punch a hole in Rosemary's sudden profound philosophizing.  Plus, you'd better believe there are a lot of Dictus and Dictii jokes!

0080: Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) Review Part II

We conclude our review of the original Mobile Suit Gundam TV series with a triple-sized episode!  In the back-half, Isaac experiences a roller coaster of emotions as the Doms arrive (hooray!) but then get completely spanked (;_;), while Brian complains about the G-Fighter and modern takes on newtypes controlling time.  Plus, Sleggar slaps Mirai into loving him, the Big Zam dominates the Federation and our hearts, Isaac and Kycilia bond over their hatred of Lalah’s flowy dress, Sunset Productions outlines an updated and expanded 100 episode MSG series, and Isaac aims his Dom’s beam bazooka at father-of-the-century Tem Ray.  Who will survive?  (definitely not Kycilia)

0079: Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) Review Part I

In the year 0079 of the Universal Century, a boy named Amuro Ray climbed into the cockpit of the RX-78-2 Gundam and changed the course of the One Year War.  For episode 0079, we return from an extended spring break to discuss the series that started it all - Mobile Suit Gundam from 1979!  In the first half of the series, we learn that Zeon women are ride or die to the very end, Garma loves himself, the Federation is definitely not your friend, the White Base's chef is truly dedicated to his craft, M'Quve drives a death onion, and the level of hand-to-face violence is off the charts!

 

 

0078: The Gundam Hotel: Earth Sphere Luxury Travel

The recent opening of Disney's Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser hotel has broken new ground in interactive vacation experiences.  So naturally, Sunset Productions is here to Gundamify it.  We cordially invite you to a two-night dinner theater/LARP/adventure (buffet included!) aboard the Buch Concern's latest luxury space liner within the neutral zone of Side 6.  All ride-or-die Zeon space fascists are encouraged to destroy the Federation's new Gundam Unit 13 rumored to be aboard the ship.  Enjoy some Titans foie gras while you sip a Zum City martini (meticulously measured Jupiter water also available) during your search for the Haro spy.  The One Year War has never been this luxurious! 

 

 

0077: Crossbone Gundam: Steel 7 Review Part II

With the Icarus literally hanging in the balance, Tobia and the Steel 7 force a rematch with Shadow in the Grand Canyon - who will survive?  Volume 2 of Crossbone Gundam: Steel 7 continues to impress as we discuss Jovian tripods, Seadoos for mobile suits, the need for a Harrison series, Raspberry's OnlyFans, and the long awaited Europa and Raspberry team up.  Plus, we talk about sherbet and Isaac sings a bar of Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing!"
