As a small treat to celebrate the New Year, we're bringing you two episodes in the same week. Whether you're a fan of Cher or anime, we have you covered. In Tatsuya Nagamine's One Piece Film: Z, Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat crew will have their dreams put to the test. Their opponent is a former Marine Admiral known as Z, who leads the Neo Marines on a vengeful crusade against piracy. Z plans on using the Dyna Stones to bring the New World to a cataclysmic end. Luffy sets out to foil Z's plan and show the strength of his own convictions. We hope you'll join us for our latest visit to the world of One Piece, though it certainly won't be our last.

Snap out of it! And snap into the finale of our 2020 Holiday special with Moonstruck (1987). This Italian American "rom-com" has it all, Cher looking dowdy/kicking can, Opera buffa Nicholas Cage, slicing his hand off in a bread slicer, Catholic guilt, and plenty of "fanoodling." "Why do men chase women?" Is it because they fear death or have they not watched enough anime? We hope you all let the moon hit your eye, like a big pizza pie, cuz that's anime! A Bride without a Head! A Wolf without a Foot!

On today's episode, we descend into the shadowy, mutant-filled world of 90's television. Vampire Hunter D focuses on Doris Lang enlisting the help of the titular vampire hunter to stop the bloodthirsty Count Magnus Lee. Armed with a huge sword and a wisecracking left hand, D must battle against the mutants and monsters that make up the Count's court. Lamika, the count's daughter, and Rei, his space-warping servant, join the fight with their own agendas in mind. Make sure that your electro fences are operational as our humble podcast finally delves into this vampiric cult classic.

Episode 94: Rankin/Bass Holiday Special

Wednesday Dec 30, 2020
I believe in Santa Claus and Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, it is a very just cause and such a journey to make! Tonight, join us for a very, merry, holiday special with all three cohosts of the podcast, reunited, in person, Dan, Grant, and Jonathan all combine their Rankin/Bass knowledge together tonight. On the bill are three classic stop motion films, all part of the same canon. The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974), Jack Frost (1979), and Rudolph and Fosty's Christmas in July (1979) are tonight's subject and this podcast has never had more fun. Are you aware these movies all star puppets, not humans? Why is "Part-Time Pete, posed ever so seductively? What lengths would you sell your soul for a silk top hat? Don't have a "Blue Christmas" tune in, and enjoy! That's the Rub!

Sunday Dec 20, 2020
Our holiday interlude continues with a trip to the dark and surprisingly festive underbelly of Gotham City. In Tim Burton's Batman Returns, the Caped Crusader must take on the combined forces of the Penguin, Catwoman, and corrupt business mogul Max Shrek. While Gotham City tries and fails to enjoy a very ritzy Christmas, the Penguin emerges from the sewers alongside the destructive Red Triangle Gang. Max Shrek schemes to mold the Penguin into the ideal mayoral candidate, but Cobblepot has some sinister plans of his own. Meanwhile, Shrek's beleaguered assistant Selina Kyle transforms into Catwoman after a failed attempt on her life. Batman finds himself face-to-face with villains that are unsettlingly similar to him. We hope you'll join us for an action-packed adventure about love, loss, and public relations.
