Up first IRL news has Joseph grinding away on the FGO Halloween event, and Andrew wants us to specify more traditional monsters in anime that ranked in our top picks. Afterwards the industry news brings us Jamie Marchi being a super Karen, delicious yellow burger patties, and the forgotten half-brother of Jack Black showing underaged fans his weiner. Finally in our third week of previews Joseph saves a super cute monster girl from a shitty farmer, and Andrew tries to be a high school idol while performing a rap battle that can kill.

We can put off somethings or only so long. Like a cancer diagnosis or answering the IRS collectors at the door. But at lest we can do it on our own terms. So get ready, agent Thurgood, I’m coming out pantsless. How about an adaptation nobody asked for made by people who don’t care? Of course we’re talking about the netflix version of Death Note[2017]. Willem Dafoe got a paycheck at least for voicing Ryuk. Meanwhile everyone else sleepwalks through their performances. L is neutered and kind of weak. The Death Note itself is a fate machine capable of making sequences like in Final Destination. Weltall has 2 Guns[2013]. Technically based on a …

It’s an animation spamination here on the world of Popcorn and Pulses. We kick off with the financial bomb that’s rumored to have put the nail in coffin in the traditional animation at the house of mouse. That’s right, Treasure Planet[2002]. It’s something of a re-telling of Treasure Island but in space and it features a space boatload of talent. Basically there’s a place where the pirate king buried all his treasure and they’re off to find it. There’s also music scored by the lead of the Goo Goo Dolls in case future archeologists needed to date this without the use of carbon. Further into the nineties we dug up The Pagemaster(1995). Macaulay Culkin …
