After the news, I give my review of ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs, and Millennium gives his review of Forza Horizon 6! We finish off with talk of anime and some real good produce! All this and more up next on VGP 439!! -Aki

Popcorn Pulse 269: Ruthless Girl

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It seems there’s another superhero movie out and we need to watch it. Who’s making this demand of us? No one in particular that we can point to. It’s just a sort of need. We can feel it. They call to us. Like the pirates of a certain ship in a much better movie. So we watched Supergirl[2026].

Manga Pulse 563: Domu-Sama

We recently were watching a show, a British show, where the host cheekily complained about making so many custom intros for their show. Wow, that must be a lot of intros that they’ve done. Let us look up and take count. Two hundred, that must be a lot. If you’re some sort of amateur. We beat the pants off of that. Of course we forgive the anglo for thinking they work.

Manga Pulse 562: Ichi Ichi Scratchi Scratchi

Summer time when the manga is easy. At least as easy to come by as it always is. Not that we would ever let any kind of difficulties get in our way. We’re not so easily kept from our task of manga review. Grab some sorbet and pop in your headphones because we’ve got two manga and a couple of scores to give them.

Episode 953: Summer 2026 Previews #4

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

This week on Anime Pulse we got wasp swarms, hacking ghosts, and no community!? Up first IRL news sees Andrew back in London but not before going on the run of a lifetime, and Joseph found himself on the receiving end of a buzzing menace. Then in the industry news, there is none! And without any community segment, because Andrew got a bit sidetracked with IRL life things, that means the final previews centric show sees things out. Joseph discovers there’s a reincarnated skeleton in his body made up of 100 girlfriends, Andrew transforms into a giant lizard that is totally not Godzilla so he can beat up other girls in fighting games, and then the two join forces to assassinate corrupt politicians, dive into their hot boss’s mind, and abandon homeless children.

Let’s hop into the Tardis and take you back to a simpler time. Hold up your sporks and prepare to ship Sherlock with the Onceler. Do you remember when Johnny Depp was basically just Jack Sparrow in every damn movie? Let us remind you with Mortdecai[2015].
