Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero dive back into the world of Pokémon. This time, there’s a kid with PTSD, a Pokémon that changes forms and looks like an Evangelion Angel reject, and a Pokémon that’s just a real dick.

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are taking a break from video game movies to celebrate the holiday season. We check out a favorite of John’s and watch the original Gremlins. While some of us enjoyed it more than one of us, I think we all agree that it was nice to watch a well made movie for a change.

John Lucero is back with Jason Arriola and Vanessa Cahill! Once again at full strength, the crew settles in to watch another Pokémon movie. This time it’s Pokémon – Jirachi: Wish Maker. Another Pokémon movie with another mythical Pokémon that’s adorable. This one has an eye in its belly, so there’s that.

Also, can you believe we’ve made it through 30 of these things without killing ourselves or each other?

Jason Arriola and Vanessa Cahill are joined by Josh Carpenter from RPGamer this week to watch Sakura Wars: The Movie. Neither Vanessa or Jason had any familiarity with anything Sakura Wars, so Jason roped in the closest thing he knew to a ringer to help fill in the blanks as to what exactly the hell is going on with this movie. It’s not that crazy, but there are a lot of blanks to fill in if you’re unfamiliar with the series and its various ventures into other multimedia. Thankfully, Josh filled in that role well, so we’re not completely confused through the whole episode!

And if you want to hear more of Josh, he did the first part of the Tactics Ogre Game Club with us a ways back and he recently did the RPG Backtrack on Final Fantasy XV over at RPGamer. You can also hear him regularly on RPGamer’s (mostly) weekly RPG Cast!

Our theme song that’s far too good for the material we cover was composed by Megan Carnes. The three of us attempt to sing along to “Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan” before blowing out our vocal cords and deciding it’s better to let Chisa Yokoyama handle it and let her sing us out.
