Popcorn Pulse 272: Eating Your A$$
What if you were a cop but racist? That’s the bold thought experiment that Hollywood dared to ask with the movie Heart Condition(1990). But, stay with us here, what if he were a likable schlub who learned the error of his ways? So you cast Bob Hoskins as a cop who gets a heart transplant from Denzel Washington who now haunts Hoskins. Also they were both in love with the same prostitute who used to have a heroin problem. Nothing you haven’t seen before. Next up is Tim with The Runner[2026]. Gal Gadot was given the headline in another movie. This time she’s a woman lawyer in London and has … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 272: Eating Your A$$"

Manga Pulse 566: Which Manga is this again?
By now you’ve probably heard about Dolly Parton’s passing. She was very big on getting children into reading and reducing illiteracy. In that case we’re going to continue to promote literacy by reviewing manga. That may sound completely disconnected but we’ve go nothing in the tank this week. Take this intro for the place holder they usually are and we’ll move on to the manga summaries. Tim has Jinmen. Men made of gin sounds like a hilarious manga, especially if they’re English. Instead we have Masato, a weird kid who loves going to the zoo. He’s been away from his favorite zoo near mount Fuji for years and is coming … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 566: Which Manga is this again?"

Popcorn Pulse 271: Sex Scoundrel
We’ve got three movies as we often do. What we don’t usually have is a movie that has three titles for a joint review. So without a lot of ado we’re going to talk about The Scoundrel’s Wife[2002](Also The Home Front or The Smuggler’s Wife). You should be able to find it to watch on the Tube.

It’s set in Louisiana where our protagonist, Camille, is a single mother. She has a daughter and son and her husband … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 271: Sex Scoundrel"

Popcorn Pulse 270: Mental Vengeance
It’s been a very busy week. People constantly running around, doing things. Having all sorts of consequences. Honestly we’re happy that it’s been as calm as we can hope for as summer winds down. We’ll just be glad to not have to run the air conditioning all the damn time. Maybe have an excuse to wear a hoody outside and take along our concealed manga. But that’s a whole other show. We have Vengeance: A Love Story[2017]. A movie based on a Joyce Carol Oates novel. Which doesn’t really narrow it down. If you don’t know, she’s the kind of person that takes the headlines and makes a fiction story … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 270: Mental Vengeance"

Man, how about that economy? It sure is contentious. How about those clowns in congress? Have you heard about the latest gaffe? With current events out of the way, we can take you mind off of them with the soothing balm of our voices and manga. So put on your headphones and tune the world out while we give you our trademark dual review(not actually trademarked). First up is Tim with Countach. Now if you’re not into historical supercars, that might sound like some good old fashioned mumbly jumbly. It is the name of a famous model by Lamborghini.

Popcorn Pulse 269: Ruthless Girl
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]. Superman’s cousin is not like other superheroes. She drinks and she has a dog. She likes to part and fuck around away from earth. Also she’s not like Clark, have we mentioned she’s not like Clark? Until a sad little girl shows up and is seeking vengeance from the bad guy who … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 269: Ruthless Girl"

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. Tim has Domu. This is by the author of Akira and was published right after. You can tell because the thrust of things is a psychic old man who murders people in the apartment complex he lives in. This … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 563: Domu-Sama"
