AoY Podcast #22 – Foodfight Review


foodfight_2d_dvd_

Also known as: “WE HAVE A THONG?!”

This was an episode I was personally not present at, and for good reason. I think the reason is just in the name itself… Foodfight. But that’s ok, because my other co-host’s Jonn and Josh took on the daunting task to review this with our “internet correspondent”DaftPunkFan (because it was Daft idea to begin with, go figure).

Foodfight is an interesting mess of a movie it seems, as the gang discusses how it was first formed, the financial issues involved, how ex A-List actors got attached to this film, and a lot more. As you will probably guess while listening to this episode, this is a piece of film Daft holds in high regard, as he talks about how he wants to buy every merchandise that exist for this film. Daft also gets to open up a little more to talk about his drunken frat boy stories, how he met Tommy Wiseau and other cool things that he says is cool for a hipster like him.

The gang also mentions how DeMarco removes the on-air schedule from Adult Swim, how the audio is a train wreck (like the film, so it fits), shows without their laugh tracks, our ongoing thoughts about a certain online radio station, and talks about other crappy CGI movies. All this and more in this weeks episode.

AoY Podcast #21 – Connecticon 2013 & Beware the Batman Talkback


Also known as: “CO-CO-CO-CO-CON PAMPLET!”

For this week, our very own VeemonJosh talks about about his experience at this years Connecticon. He goes on to spin his tales of checking out the Dr. Who panels, him cosplaying as Jotaro from Kamen Rider, meeting Jon St. John, and more. Then we move right along with the review of Beware the Batman with our “internet correspondent” DaftPunkFan.

And like the usual fare, there are the typical audio issues (mostly in the beginning… and whenever Daft talked), going off ramblings on animated series in general where we mention the current season of Venture Bros, general comics talk (mostly on the DC/Batman universe), picking on people who host online radio stations, my brief thoughts on the George Zimmerman case, and much much more.

AoY Podcast #20 – Takahashi vs. Tomino Round 1 (Heavy Metal L-Gaim & Blue Gender Review)


vlcsnap-2013-06-19-12h12m26s6

Also known as: ” Hey Kayro, you hair makes the best beanbag!”
or also: “And there’s sum-sum-sum-ro-ro-robot God…”

We are finally doing another anime marathon of sorts, where for once a month, for the next couple of months (or longer maybe), we will talk about some series/shows from some of the two biggest anime directors out there, Yoshiyuki Tomino vs. Ryouske Takahashi.

We start off with our discussion of Heavy Metal L-Gaim by Tomino, where we compare and contrast between the OVA’s and TV series. We then go right into a Takahashi show from not that long ago called Blue Gender. Some of the discussions include how people can pilot a robot from a KORG machine, total 80’s fashion, subtitle issues, anime wraslin, annoying characters, how something can be almost like Starship Troopers, censorship in a TV series and much more. We also go off topic on things like recent anime start up companies, taking an early look at Funimation, DBZ side talk and other Takahashi shows we will cover down the road. All this and more in this weeks episode.

Side Note: I know I said the words “Takahashi vs. Tomino Month” in the intro, but this is gonna go on longer than that, and I ment to say segment. But, if you know our track record, you probably won’t hold that against us, which is cool. I should just edit it out, but OH WELL!

AoY Podcast #19 – E3 2013 Talkback


Also known as: “Just let it happen, it’ll be over soon…”
Which is also: “It became a Marathon walk through… with no visuals!”

Every year, nerds from all over the globe focus in on one particular spot in California, where the mightiest of game publishers and developers gather to showcase video games that we the consumer will purchase in the next coming months. This years E3 was of course a bit different, as we see Microsoft goofing up (and standing by it) while Sony was made to be the hero of the whole darn show.

We cover what we remember of the press conferences by Microsoft, Sony, EA, Ubisoft, and talk about the things Nintendo did to make the fans even happier. This is of course filled with other minor side discussions like how our certain guest like to be on the phone and podcast at the same time, Jeff and his love of Bungie’s Marathon games, the potential target audience for the next Pokemon games, our views on the Xbone vs PS4, our opinions on the whole DRM/used games debate, our thoughts on announced games and much much more.

Special Guest: Jeff and Andy from The Daily Anime Podcast, our “internet correspondent” DaftPunkFan, and Peter Fay from The Peter Network.
