AWNAM returns with another Sinister Six pick. Join Jonathan and Dan as they head off to Nilbog for some country living and vegetarian snacks in Troll 2 (1990). This film is anything but predictable, we advise you to bring along your Double Decker Bologna Sandwiches, to avoid a hellish death by popcorn. There are goblins...I mean trolls around here and they have a hankering for human/plant hybrid flesh. The only way we can all survive is to refuse to eat, call upon Grandpa Seth, and whatever you do don't eat anything! No that's not an invitation to piss on hospitality...

The classic anime Saint Seiya makes its triumphant return to our humble little podcast. The Galaxian Wars tournament continues as the Bronze Saints fight to claim the Gold Sagittarius Cloth. The latest bout is cut short when the mysterious Phoenix Saint arrives on the scene. This masked fighter is quickly revealed to be Shun's older brother Ikki, who is presumed to have died while training on the aptly-named Death Queen Island. Phoenix Ikki, now consumed by hatred and anger, proves to be more than capable of defeating the other Bronze Saints. Joined by his palette-swapped brethren, Ikki steals the Sagittarius Gold Cloth and escapes into the city. Will Seiya and his friends be able to retrieve the powerful relic before Ikki gets the chance to use it? Luckily, you won't have to wait another sixty episodes to find out. We hope you'll us for another Cosmo-empowered installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake.

It is the distant year of 2003 and Anime Was (Not) A Mistake has resorted to bike battling on Venus's treacherous terrain. In Venus Wars (1989) two Venusian continents Ishtar and Aphrodia are at ends and it is up to a ragtag group of 80s style teenagers to seize the wheels of oppression, through burning rubber. Mount your one wheeled monocycle, race through the abandoned mall, and hold your camcorder up high! This action packed race is only for thrill seekers. If you are feint of heart, you best return to Earth...I think I hear an Octopus tank approaching.

On today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, we'll be taking a look at the 1988 OVA series that started the Mobile Police Patlabor franchise. In the distant future of 1998, the rise of giant construction robots known as "labors" has predictably caused a spike in giant robot-related crimes. Special police units have been created to combat this crimewave using Patrol Labors, or Patlabors, of their own. This classic anime focuses on the exploits of the Special Vehicles Division's Unit 2. They may not be the best that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police has to offer, but they've won our hearts nonetheless. We hope you'll join us as we delve into Patlabor: The Early Days; a cyberpunk experience that doesn't require a day-one patch.

Our first Sinister Six adventure comes to end (along with all of our credibility) with a viewing of the 1985 cult classic Spookies. This horror "film" focuses on an evil magician stealing the souls of unsuspecting victims in order to resurrect his dead bride. In an unrelated movie, several unlikable partygoers wander into the magician's abandoned mansion to have some fun. An Ouija spells doom for these folks, as one of them becomes possessed and intent on murdering the others. To that end, she (or maybe the magician?) summons the titular "Spookies" to dispatch her friends. These rare Muppets have a thirst for blood and a flair for the dramatic. There's also zombies, I guess. Will the partygoers be able to escape this terrifying abode? No, but you should still listen along with us anyway.

Something sinister this way comes to Anime Was (Not) A Mistake! Inspired by the love of bad movies…and hate of one another, Dan and Jon unwittingly introduce a new series on the podcast. The premise: Six mystery movies, ranging from bad to awful, are chosen at random and there’s no escape for our dim-witted hosts. Have they finally bitten off more than they can chew? Will they find salvation? Ecstasy? Or else, will they be consumed by the “sheer shlock” that is The Sinister Six? For the first episode, boy do we have a sinister shipwreck for you. We are off to Sweethaven and not even a fresh can of spinach can keep up our strength up! Jonathan is doing his best Olive Oyl impression hoping that Dan will put down the Catsup and become Popeye! Toot-Toot!

Our 100th Episode Pokémon spectacular comes to a close with Pokémon 3: The Movie: Spell of the Unown. After her father disappears, a young girl named Molly is bewitched by the mysterious Unown. Molly's wish to see her father again is granted in the form of the legendary Pokémon Entei (as voiced by Dan Green, of course). The surrounding area is engulfed in a crystalline structure through the power of Molly's imagination. To complete the girl's new family, Entei kidnaps Delia Ketchum and brings her to the Crystal Tower. Ash and his friends set out to rescue Delia and unravel the mysterious of the Unown. Charizard also comes back, as does Marge Simpson for some reason. We hope you'll join us for this proto-WandaVision adventure in the world of Pokémon.
