Remember when Joker came out and every shitty hack kept saying it was just a ripoff of two Scorsese movies? We’ve both seen Taxi Driver(1976) and didn’t see much resemblance. So that left only one other movie in the pair to watch and review. King Of Comedy(1982). De Niro plays Pupkin who is an aspiring stand up comedian who watches late night TV. On the surface you could be excused by thinking the two are the same. Pupkin is both obsessed with the late night host and dreams of nothing other than doing the show himself. Going so far as to kidnap Jerry Lewis to upstage him with the help of another … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 133: Old King Pop"

This week on Anime Pulse we got 1000% psycho, a very short community segment, and snow. Up first Joseph had to dig himself out after old man winter took a dump on his lawn, and Andrew took some days off and spent them on family. Then in the industry news the greatest heist of the century sees the villains caught and arrested, and you may get a chance to soon ride the dragon and eat some balls at a park. And finally in the reviews Joseph goes to become a celibate monk but finds a bunch of hot nuns instead, and Andrew reveals he is a psychic with a ????% power level and may be related to Saitama.

Episode 847: Ten Mob Puru 100

Before you there are two drivers. One of them is signed by the publisher and easy to find. The other has to be downloaded from a Megadrive link you found on a Substack post. Choose, but choose wisely. One of them will corrupt your boot sector and force you to reinstall the OS. The other will fix your issue. At least until you forget you did that and reinstall anyway. Weltall has Dr Slump. It’s Akira Toriyama’s first success. We do not talk about Wonder Island, lest we get hit by a solar flare. We have an inventor named Senbei who decides to make a robot girl. She doesn’t know … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 510: Dear Akira"

Manga Pulse 510: Dear Akira

This week on Anime Pulse we got fake sausages, a duke with blue balls, and a convicted rapist gets the middle finger. Up first Joseph talks about his experience with Dog Haus and a lovely eight plus mile walk, and Andrew might actually have some IRL news for us this week as he promised last time. Then in the industry news Tokyo's High Court says it's ok to call a rapist negative terms, more inaccurate English Dubs, and the good and bad of One-Punch Man season three. And lastly in the reviews Joseph wants to pork his hot blond maid but is cursed with the touch of death, and Andrew attempts to apologize to his girlfriend in the rain but Truck-kun has other ideas.

Episode 846: Over the Death and His Sky

Let’s talk security. Now, most people don’t think about this but your windows are an overlooked ingress point. Most people will put on sensors or bars. But that won’t keep out the postal goblins. Everyone fails to consider the postal goblins. They slip past all you conventional measures and start dumping flyers for restaurants that aren’t yet open and will close before you can use the coupons. In that vein we have Armed Response[2013]. As often happens, we have a guy and he works at a bar. He starts telling the patrons a story about how he made his money. It involves him being a slacker who “works” with his … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 216: Armed Blitz"

Popcorn Pulse 216: Armed Blitz

This week on Anime Pulse we got to pay our respects to the passing of a legend, eating Yuca, and level 999 love stories. Up first Joseph wanders around for seven miles looking for food, and Andrew is peaking into our music folders for non-OP and non-ED anime music. Then in the industry news we of course talk about how impactful the passing of the Dragon Ball creator has been, and a dumb kid gave away most of his savings to bullies and scammers. And finally in the reviews Joseph goes on a question to find his mom and cure his ED, and a jaded Andrew log on to an MMO to begin a romance with a guildmate to get back at a former lover.
