Then in the industry news we get confirmation that VISA Japan is against allowing you to buy anything lewd, and a job listing is posted asking for men to talk to Japanese girls online. And finally in the reviews Joseph is killed by a yandere, reincarnates into a goblin, and later evolves into an ogre. Meanwhile Andrew retires from being a killer yakuza member to find great deals at the super market, cook melas for his wife, and wear pink aprons.

Do you remember that phase of the internet where everything was about pirates? Like everyone would mention when it’s talk like a pirate day and things like that. We go a little further back before all that with Cutthroat Island(1995). A movie you’ll probably see a whole lot on lists of biggest box office bombs. It and Show Girls killed the studio that made it. Geena Davis is the daughter of a pirate captain. Her dad is one of three pirates that has a map to a massive buried treasure. Her uncle pirate, Frank Langella, kills her dad in his quest for the treasure. So it’s something of a race …

Finally in the reviews Joseph gets an extension on his life thanks to all those apples he eats, and Andrew is engaged to a space oni against his will.

It might be November and that means spooky season is technically over. That doesn’t mean it’s gone from our minds. As they used to say, off the charts but not off our hearts. So we almost sort of have a related theme that keeps it going. So break out your Spirit Halloween costumes of Dismissive Candy Factory Owner or Foreign Blood Drinking Guy and join us. Tim has Bones. And not just those that exist under his skin or in his junk drawer. It’s set in a world where a lot of people have superpowers. Ji has a superpower that doesn’t seem to be that useful. He can regenerate though …

Hey there, pardner. Us speakin’ in an a-ffected drawl must mean we gots a Western movie. It also a-happens to be an adaptation of a book. A bone-a-fide lit-er-a-chur turned talkie. That brings us to Appaloosa[2008]. Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen are wandering gunmen for hire and have been partners for awhile. They come into Appaloosa which is in need of a sheriff. This is on account of Jeremy Irons being a powerful rancher having killed the last one. Things get a little complicated when a farmhand offers to testify to the murder. Tim has Raw Deal(1986). An Arnold Schwarzenegger film where he plays a disgraced FBI agent. He gets …

What manga review show has two thumbs and two manga? Probably a lot of them actually but we’ll fit that bill for today. Though you know what we don’t fit? Those darn skinny jeans we keep getting sent to review from Aliexpress. Who in the hell thinks we want those and need to review them? Sure they make our package look fantastic but there’s more to life than a stunningly wrapped tackle. Tim has Jinrui-shoku. It’s sometime in the distant now and there are things called “mummily”s This is apparently a thing were family members die, become desiccated corpses, then wander around for a bit. This happens to Hayato when …
