Episode 109 ft. @newfie.bsky.social: Shin Kamen Rider (2023)

It's tokusatsu time with long time listener, first time caller, Newfie. We're exploring Hideaki Anno's take on the prolific Japanese superhero. We tackle cults, covid conspiracies, contradiction, and the contents of Charlie's dreams.

@nogodspod.bsky.social Just got to the part in the new episode where you talk about Tsukamoto and Trent Reznor. They did this ad for MTV Japan together. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YK5X...

If you don't have a copy of Shin Kamen Rider, it's on Amazon (boo!) and your favorite torrent sites. If you have a decent pop-up blocker it's also streaming here for free

Definitely not a perfect movie, but I highly recommended if you thought the Wachowskis Speed Racer was doing something cool.

In this episode I argue that - through my American eyes - Shin Kamen Rider looks pretty pilled to the gills.

there's a story about hideaki anno that when he was finishing the scripts for eva he shut himself up in his apartment for a month and shaved off all his hair, which he describes as a creative rebirth.

but that makes him sound sort of like a qanon shut in. anyhow here's a podcast about kamen rider.

Thanks guys! Had a lot of fun talking another one of Anno's works. The man is Japan's JJ Abrams and it is wild that he got to reboot basically every major tokusatsu franchise other than Power Rangers while also making us wait on Shin Evangelion.

I guess I need to apologize to the writers of Alien: Prometheus. it turns out scientists really do touch everything like that

I don't think y'all mentioned it, but to add to the abortion reading of Alien Rez, the most common type of abortion is the vacuum aspiration abortion, which is more or less what happens to the alien hybrid at the end of the movie

In this podcast @skittishprey.bsky.social drops an interpretation of the xenomorph that retroactively creates a brand new meaning for the series as a whole and will forever change how I watch these movies.
Episode 108: Alien Resurrection (1997)

We are making our way through the Alien and Predator franchises and are so thoroughly in the late 90s. Yellow tints, lots of leather, and it's gay!

We dissect ideas of power, queerness, the psyche, and basketball.

I feel so bad. We were approaching a 4 hour discussion and I had to cut it off while we all had more material on hand because I knew it would be a nightmare to edit.

Our Alien (no colon) Resurrection episode was recorded days ago, but because we talked for almost 4 hours, it is taking longer than expected to edit down. It is a banger, though.
