Starblazers theme.

Australia – If you spend more than 5 minutes with Erin, you will learn that she has been to Australia.
Beyond Thunderdome Bust a deal, face the wheel!
“Need some GASOLINE” — This is a line from the Home Movies parody of Beyond Thunderdome. If you haven’t seen Home Movies, do yourself a favor and track it down. It’s not anime, but it is animated. So that’s partial credit anyway.
“If you hit the airport you’ve gone too far.” — A line from The Brak Show. Directions to One Fish Lake.
Erotic Adventures of Hercules / “You may remember me from…” — Troy McClure star vehicle referenced in Simpson’s Episode 9F07, “Mr. Plow”
A definition of the Sword and Sandal Genre
Hercules Returns — Before the days of Amazon.com, small esoteric foreign films could be hard to track down. Anyway, this film is like a really, really good episode of MST3k without the commercials and free of censorship. I remember it as being super-funny, but of course I was, like, 15 at the time.
The Jerry-Eye — like an Einhoreh in Yiddish; the evil-eye.
Podsafe — circumnavigating the legal issues surrounding unlicensed music
Halifax Slasher “Donner Party Dinner Party” — we’ve already linked to it below, but we’ll link to it again.
Ru-ru-ru-russian Roulette is by Nakahara Meiko, and if you find a way to purchase the album this is on – PLEASE TELL US!!
Dead Alewives — I don’t know what happened to them, but their site has long been down. Maybe this article on dead alewives might interest you instead.
Rant Section — we’re going to have a rant section so you aren’t forced to sit through our rants during the show. Here’s the first rant.
MY LIFE IN FANDOM:
[NOTE — looking back, I think this actually happened at A-Kon 8. I wasn’t at A-Kon 9.]
My Neighbor Totoro — Look, basically, if you haven’t seen this movie you need to do so immediately. NO EXCUSES. Anyone who doesn’t like My Neighbor Totoro has no soul.
I can’t keep my Gundam straight. Even after looking at the list of shows, I have no idea what season or what show the question covered. I’m sure someday I will run into Ed or someone from AWOL… or they will hear the podcast… and I’m sure they’ll correct me on a hundred different things. I live in fear of this day.
Hee, Star Blazers theme rocks, that takes me back.
I agree about the AMV community bullshit. I’m not so much into amv.org as much as I used to be, but I was on a kick for a while writing AMV reviews. When it got too tiring to write long constructive criticism for decent/good AMVs I’d find some crap AMVs and just tear them a new one. I have about 12 opinions I gave which have an overall score of under 6. Though that’s taking into account other people’s reviews averaging it out because some of them I gave a 3 or below rating.
I got a couple irate comments back, but I think I was always blunt but never entirely mean. Actually scratch that, one comment I made was “I really don’t see any point in making videos like this unless you’re trying to deliberately piss people off and get a low rating. “
you need an entry for the rant, so one may comment upon it.

ps. N.’s rant is kind of tame, all things considered. there needs to be more yelling and cursing, otherwise N.’s just talking about the junk he’s always talking about.
You can comment on the rant right here if you want.
Also it’s possible that Noah is actually ranting all the time in real life, he’s just not as foul-mouthed as you are. Not that anyone is as foul-mouthed as you. Didn’t you want to be on the show or something? You’ve been to Japan, you collect toys, you could talk about that.
P.S.
You can spell out Noah’s name here since it isn’t directly linked to my personal domain.
yeah i wanna be on, but you need to let me know when and where and such. i have this Sunday free if you do.
and i’ve heard Noah rant. this, my friend, was a friendly suggestion.

This Sunday is no good, my parents are in town and I haven’t watched Advent Children yet. I could always potentially come over for a Thursday night and catch you then.
wait, you’ve got Advent Children? and you didn’t share!? wtf!!?
and i thought we were friends!
but seriously folks, i guess a Thursday would be good, but then there’s like eighty-five other people i’d be ignoring. tell you what, pick a Thursday, i’ll cancel the get together at my place, and i’ll go to your place instead and we’ll do this thing. how’s that sound?
