Salt Circle Podcast

Ben and Hank start their watch through of the 2003 live action Sailor Moon Tokusatsu TV show.

This show show starts with a bang and is so fun Ben and Hank have to ask "Is this the best version of Sailor Moon?" Only time will tell. 

For this podcast they watched episodes 1-14.

Ben and Hank read Osamu Tezuka's Dororo from 1967.

A strong influence on Berserk, this dark fantasy about a man with no organs who fights with sword arms where children unceremoniously get shot to death with arrows is very fun.

It's another movie night.

Ben and Hank watched Mulholland Drive (2001), The Handmaiden (2016), Thoroughbreds (2018), and The Favorite (2018).

Hank loves all these movies, but place your bets on which one Ben hated.

Ben and Hank start the Sailor Moon manga by Naoko Takeuchi covering the entirety of the Dark Kingdom arc, Acts 1-14.

This covers the same overall plot as season 1 of the Sailor Moon anime but it's also a pretty different experience.

Ben and Hank read all of the Jiro Kuwata Batman manga from 1996.

An old manga that's basically only available in english becuase of a 2008 coffee table book.

This is a precursor to a dive into Kamen Rider, getting some context on superhero manga.
