February 11, 2020 Oldtaku no Radio #041 – Weathering With You
Finally, a Shinkai film that makes Children Who Chase Lost Voices look good!
How does Makoto Shinkai twist “boy meets girl” this time? How do Jared and Ink tweak their takes on the auteur’s output this time? The answers are as predictable as weathermen are accurate in our most recent episode, and you have a front row seat to Gallagher-style hot takes. (Pro-tip: bring an umbrella for saline showers and vitriol-whipped saliva.)
Warning: this episode is pretty much a spoiler-cast from the get-go (for Weathering With You AND your name.), so don’t press play until you’re ready.

January 15, 2020AGP#128 – Pokémon: Breath of the Wild Area with Kallie Plagge
Evan and David are joined by Pokémon superfan and GameSpot reviews editor Kallie Plagge for a deep dive into the latest Pokémon games: Sword and Shield. This is a long episode, covering the ins and outs of the new Pokédex, the introduction of the Wild Area and Dynamaxing, various quality-of-life improvements over previous games, and the new battling and breeding meta. We recorded this before the Pokémon Direct, so some of our speculation is a little out of date! Topics include: playing Pokémon in the park, communicating via Pokémon nicknames, and Evan getting mercilessly made fun of.

December 25, 2019 Oldtaku no Radio #039 – Patlabor (OVAs)
It’s time again for Anime Secret Santa, and a certain special someone left us one heck of a present to unpack: Patlabor! While we were given the OVAs and movies to review, we had more than enough to talk about with just the OVAs, so we’ll get around to the movies on a bonus episode or three. We talk about the OVAs as a collection in general and then get into specifics about each of the six OVAs (counting the two-parter as a single OVA), and the results, knowing the inclinations of the two hosts, may surprise you! Happy holidays to all, and a special thanks to our secret Santa.
Stream the Patlabor OVAs on HIDIVE.
Buy the whole shebang via Sentai or Rightstuff or Amazon.
