The latest installment of Sinister Six warps down to Earth as we suffer through 1992’s Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe. Jesse “The Body” Ventura plays the titular intergalactic cop, who chases the evil Secundus across the stars to New York or Canada or Minnesota. Secundus has returned to our world to find his genetically-engineered son Tommy, who he hopes will enable him to solve the Anti-Life Equation (not the one from the Snyder Cut) and gain absolute power. Abraxas and Sonia, Tommy’s mother, quickly form a connection as they fight to foil Secundus’ plan (which involves repeatedly pushing people aside and stealing their cars). Like any good 90’s B-movie, it all builds to an epic confrontation in an abandoned factory. Abraxas and Secundus will do battle once more to decide the fate of the universe or Canada or New York or Minnesota, we don’t know. Make sure you iron your jeans and pack plenty of PEPSI products for today’s vaulted/faulted/balded episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

In Outlaw Star, Gene Starwind and his friends take flight to find the Galactic Leyline and the treasure hidden there. Such a quest requires an extraordinary starship, one that Pirates and Outlaws alike are ready to kill for.

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake anticipates the splendor and the magic of the fast-approaching Millenium Comet. That's right, its time to make a wish as we watch Pokémon: Jirachi, Wish Maker while continuing our Pokémon movie rewatch journey. When the mysterious Jiriachi awakens from a 1,000 year slumber it is up to Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, and Max to prove that their friendship can stand the test of time. And what of the dazzling stage magic, provided by the mysterious Butler and the lovely Diane? I sure hope there isn't some kind of eldritch Team Magma tie in to awaken a Groudon effigy? Anyway, while Jonathan is making a wish every night of the week, Dan is more concerned with the Pokémon themed carnival rides...

Another helping of high fantasy is heading your way with both Delicious in Dungeon and Record of Lodoss War. As Laios and his friends venture deeper into the dungeon, good nutrition will be harder to come by. Luckily, Senshi knows a few golems who are good for growing fresh veggies. Another party led by Kabru gets the spotlight for a moment, but they soon fall victim to some bite-sized treasure insects. Laios ventures into some Living Paintings to see if he can grab some takeout, but a mysterious figure grabs him instead. Back in Lodoss, the party finally meets the elf Deedlit. They are soon captured by the soldiers from Alania, who are quickly defeated in-turn by Marmo invaders. The Kingdom of Valis now remains as the last bulwark against Emperor Beld and his forces. A Black Knight arrives, a Princess is captured, and an immense dragon stirs as Parn and his friends fight for answers. Remember to pack some sanctified sorbet and be mindful of mimics for today's freshly baked episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Angst isnt all its cracked up to be and when some demons are thrown into the mix, magic might be the only way to solve some sort of problems. Also, its someone's birthday and what better way to celebrate than with a Jumbo Berry Surprise? Weebs and Wyrms? Eventually I will get it, I swear...

Before our next saga can begin, fate decrees that we watch the 1987 cult classic Don't Panic. On his seventeenth birthday, Michael is surprised when his friends break out a Ouija board. Tony, Michael's best friend, ends up being possessed by a demonic entity known as Virgil. Using his new body, Virgil goes on a killing spree that only Michael has the power to stop. What follows is an extremely 80's adventure through Mexico City, complete with electrifying theme music and lots and lots of product placement.
