If you guys thought that COVID-19 would silence us, think again! We’re a little late but no big deal. Dustin and Jonn are joined by the great Mass-Hole himself Daft to talk about X-Men: Dark Phoenix and a ton more stuff…

(0:00 -22:45) Preshow Jibber Jabber – Dustin and Daft catch up on talking about stuff before Jonn hops on the call. This includes topics such as artists at anime cons, where to get sweet anime T Shirts, toy talk regarding Daft Punk figures, Evangelion pops and the James Bond figure Dustin got a while ago.

(22:45 – 02:18:18) X-Men: “Up-In-The-Air” Dark Phoenix Review talk – This is just one giant blender of different topics that contains a hint of X-Men: Dark Phoenix. We all do talk about that film, but its in between the Star Wars Episode 9 thoughts, incest undertones in Star Wars, READING OUT LISTENER FANMAIL!,  the cancellation of Interspecies Reviewers anime by Funimation, Star Trek talk, comic book/movie/Kevin Smith talk, Peter Fay tweets and RIP to Kobe Bryant and Kirk Douglas of of course much more.

In this episode, the podcast comes together on blockbuster movie sized proportions, where we are able to get us a full house “Avengers Assemble” style gang together to talk about not only one show out of this current anime season, but also to discuss the latest Avengers film. Even though disastrous internet quality tries to foil our review plans, we still are able to suit up with returning guest Daft”PunkFan”37 and VeemonJosh. Listen as we all dawn our podcast alter ego’s to discuss Kyokai no Rinne and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

(0:00 – 30:08) Review – Kyokai no Rinne: This was an anime that came under Zeonic radar a few weeks ago as he was working on his Mamoru Oshii presentation for his Art History class, because when one browses Wikipedia for Rumiko Takahashi and sees that her recent manga became an anime, one is inclined to check into it. As of this review, only Jonn and Zeonic saw the first few episodes, but it runs pretty much like a typical Takahashi show, which wasn’t all that bad really. This also leads into discussion on a leaked pilot for a Clerks TV series, how Sentai Filmworks obtained Rinne, and Takahashi’s work in general.

(30:08 – 32:01) Podcast Promo’s: Alpha Counter just released their own review of Avengers: Age of Ultron recently, and Dave and Joel continue to heat up the mics some more involving Jojo’s and other stuff. Speaking of Avengers…

(32:01 – 1:23:00) Non-Anime Review – Avengers: Age of Ultron: We’re definitely nerds over comic book movies every year, only because Marvel keeps making the films that draw in the biggest crowds. This year we get another Avengers movie, and we have our own personal gripes and viewpoints on the film. This gets us into discussing SJW style twitter comments by JesuOtaku, a random encounter with past guest ChibiGoku (which doesn’t last long), general comic book talk, Totally Spies reference, the true target demographic for comic book super heroes shows and toys, and our thoughts on the Batman vs Superman trailer. All this and a whole lot more in this episode. Stay tuned for part “b”…
