Anime Was (Not) A Mistake

Episode 345: Good Movie Podcast?: Episode 13: Death Becomes Her (1992)

(Thunder Crash) Tonight, on Good Movie Podcast? we promise an eternal rivalry and a touch of magic in a world obsessed with science. Within the swirling  purple potion of immortality Jonathan and Dan are ready for a comedic bloodbath in Robert Zemeckis's eternal classic Death Becomes Her (1993).  Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp have been at each other's throats (much like our two hosts) for as long as they can remember. When famed surgeon of the stars, Ernest Menville is thrown in the mix the claws come out. In a story as old as time, when beauty fades these two women will do whatever it takes to stay young forever and come out on top. Luckily for them there is one ancient lady dealing just the sort of a elixir they have been looking for.  When things turn violets heads start spinning, shotguns are fired, and many bodies are thrown down staircases. We advise our listeners to learn from this morality tale, and to take care of themselves. Sempre Viva! Live Forever!

Episode 343: Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie (1999)

Today on Anime Was Not A Mistake our humble little podcast is whisked away to Hong Kong in the hopes of tracking down the origin of the clow cards. In, Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie (1999) this strange spellbound land houses a mysterious magic all of its own. With Sakura and co searching for a brief glimpse of insight with Clow Reeds murky past, little do they know that flowing love, rushing revenge, and dripping danger lurks behind every ornamented corner. With a plot that is vastly different between English Dub and Japanese Sub there is much discussion to be had on the story at hand. However, Dan and Jonathan certainly enjoy hearing the Nelvana dub actors and their Americanized flourishes. Please, hold hard to your flotation devices, lest ye be washed away into the tides of the past.

Episode 338: Sinister Six XLVII: Track of the Moon Beast (1976)

Spooktoberfest is in the rearview mirror, but we’ve taken a wrong turn into much more sinister territory. Selected for your listening displeasure is 1976’s Track of the Moon Beast, a creature feature mentioned only briefly in bad movie folktales. A shirtless mineralogist named Paul is struck by a lunar meteorite, a microscopic fragment of which becomes lodged in his head. Every night from that point on, when exposed to moonlight, Paul transforms into a reptilian monster and goes on a murderous rampage. Paul’s friend Johnny Longbow, an anthropology professor and lister of stew ingredients, is recruited by the local sheriff to help him solve this very simple mystery. Also present is the photographer Kathy, who falls deeply in love with Paul in spite of his nightly lizard-outs. Legends speak of a similar reptilian creature that appeared centuries earlier, claiming many lives before randomly exploding. Is Paul doomed to meet the same fiery end? Or will Kathy’s love and Johnny’s bored indifference be enough to finally defeat the Moon Beast? Make sure your monitor lizard is locked up, schedule an appointment with a very sad doctor, and tune your tiny television set to today’s badly lit episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Episode 337: AMNAM Spooktacluar 2025: Talk To Me (2022)

Spooktoberfest 2025 comes to a close with the icy embrace of a porcelain hand. In a thunderous horror feature film debut from Down Under, Jonathan and Daniel consult with the spirts once more in the Phillippou brothers modern horror classic Talk To Me (2022). When Mia is in mourning, will she succumb to the intoxicating high that only a glimpse into the eternal hereafter promises. In this episode; kangaroos that should have looked both ways, toe sucking galore, excellent teenage actors, and a theory that someone probably has already coined that Jonathan swears is his alone. What a surprise, he's signing Edith Piaf again and swearing he is possessed by the immortal chanteuse. Anyways, settle in for something scary, light the candle and invite Anime Was (Not) A Mistake in for one final horrific time this year. Or perhaps not...

Episode 336: AMNAM Spooktacluar 2025: Arachnophobia (1992)

Spooktoberfest 2025 takes a lighter turn with the 1992 horror-comedy classic Arachnophobia. Dr. Ross Jennings leaves San Francisco behind and moves his family to the sleepy town of Canaima, California. While Jennings receives a less-than-warm welcome from the townspeople, another unexpected guest arrives. Having hitched a ride back with a deceased resident, a dangerous new species of spider decides to sink its fangs into Canaima. Operating less like an arachnid and more like a military leader, the “General” spawns a wave of hybrid spiders with an (instantly) lethal bite. As these spiders ravage the local ecosystem, and claim a number of Jenning’s friends and patients, the doctor teams up with an eccentric exterminator and a snooty scientist to face this creepy crisis. Our heroes are certain that the General must be operating out of a central nest, but will they manage to find it before everything spins out of control? Open that bottle of wine you’ve been saving, and avoid bringing snacks into the morgue, for today’s eight-legged episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!
