Episode 230: Mobile Fighter G Gundam: Part: X
Sunday Oct 08, 2023
Sunday Oct 08, 2023
It's been a long time coming, but we have arrived at the final episodes of Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Even though Domon Kasshu has won the 13th Gundam Fight, the battle for Earth is far from over. Major Ulube gives Rain to the Devil Gundam to serve as its new Core Life Unit. The Devil Gundam then merges with the entire Neo Japan colony in order to begin its purge of humanity. The Shuffle Alliance faces an impossible fight in outer space, but the rest of the world's Gundam Fighters arrive to give them assistance. Even if Major Ulube's schemes can be stopped, that may not be enough to bring down the Devil Gundam itself. Rain is now trapped inside the monster's core and only Domon's heartfelt words can save her. We hope you'll join us for one last Erupting Burning Finger on today's hyper-charged episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Episode 226: Good Movie Podcast?: Episode 03: Mystery Men (1999)
Sunday Sep 10, 2023
Sunday Sep 10, 2023
The third installment of Good Movie Podcast? brings us to the cyberpunk metropolis of Champion City. The most popular and powerful superhero in this town is the sponsor-friendly Captain Amazing. This story, however, focuses on a trio of more unlikely heroes. Mr. Furious, the Shoveler, and the Blue Raja finally get their chance to shine when Captain Amazing is kidnapped by the villainous Casanova Frankenstein. This oddball team is soon joined by the Spleen, the Invisible Boy, and the Bowler. Even with the training provided by the mysterious Sphinx (and some gadgets provided by a genius inventor), the team might not be ready for the big leagues. Unfortunately, they may not have time to figure themselves out before Casanova's doomsday weapon takes Champion City off the map. This cult classic may not be winning any awards, but it certainly won Dan's heart. We do hope you'll join us for yet another Good Movie Podcast?, and help us decide if this movie is simply silly or something more sinister...

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake certainly has a lot of news to cover, both nothing takes precedent over the Gundam Fight Finals!

A brief truce with Master Asia grants Domon a powerful new technique, which he will definitely need in his bout against Shwarz. Only then will the tournament's Battle Royale final round begin. Meanwhile, the Devil Gundam has almost fully regenerated beneath Neo Hong Kong. Conflicts and conspiracies come to a (Gundam) head on today's explosive episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Episode 221 - AWNAM: Sinister Six XXVI: Batman & Robin (1997)
Sunday Aug 06, 2023
Sunday Aug 06, 2023
Our latest Sinister Selection series continues with another so-bad-it's-probably-bad cinematic event. Babylon falls and Gotham City rises to take its place. 1997's Batman & Robin is a famously controversial movie, and is cited by many as one of the worst films of all time. But is it really that bad, or have the hearts of critics simple gone cold? The story focuses on the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin as they attempt to work as a team. Gotham City is being threatened by the ever-punny Mr. Freeze, who plans on stealing enough diamonds to power his greatest weapon. Meanwhile, a mutated botanist known as Poison Ivy arrives on the scene with a rather soft-spoken Bane in tow. Batman might have to expand his team (and get his house in order) in order to stand a chance against these villains. Be sure to grab your rocks, buy some snow cones, and pay off your Bat Credit Card for today's, uh, toyetic episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake.
