CCR Episode 017 The Grand Insect Operation
In this episode, we reviewed Episode 17, The Grand Insect Operation. We also officially announced that we will be doing a bonus episode for our pod cast episode 20. This bonus episode will be an episode commentary track you can sync up with the actual episode. Words That Kathy Hates Kathy mentioned on the show that she hates the word "nightie" and she hates that word as much as she hates the word "panties" and the word "moist". All three of those words are gross and nasty and sound gross and … [Read more...]
CCR 016-The Indestructible Machine Mechanica
On today’s episode of CCR, we reviewed Gatchaman Episode 16, "The Indestructible Machine Mechanica". And now that school is done for another semester, I have time to write up proper show notes!! The episode revolved around a giant, metal, transforming reptile named Mechanica that transformed through the Awesome Power of 8-Track Tape! Oh, and Nambu and 4/5ths of the Science Ninja Team seemed to OD on stupid pills. The hero of this episode and the most competent was by far, Jinpei, the 10 … [Read more...]
CCR Episode 015 The Fearsome Jelly Fish Lens
On today’s episode of CCR, we reviewed Gatchaman Episode 15, "The Fearsome Jelly Fish Lens". This episode involves Glactor creating a living weapon, not the usual mecha that they usually go for. What the make is a massive glob of living goo with thousands of crystaline eyes all over and through it. For the most part, it looks stoned and in need of a Twinkie fix. We get a crew of ISO scientists who went to work in their Flash Gordon cosplay! There's also a … [Read more...]
CCR Episode 014 The Fearsom Ice-Kander
On today’s episode of CCR, we reviewed Gatchaman Episode 14 The Fearsome Ice-Kander. This is an exercise in Cute Kid cliches and caring strangers. This is also where Katse really stretches as a student of the Snidley Whiplash Correspondence School for Villainy. In this episode, we also talk about things like... And apparently large cruise ships are built inside huge buildings, but still no sign of them having any specific name apart from "assembly building". And don't forget...SIX more … [Read more...]
CCR Episode 013 The Mysterious Red Sand
On today’s episode of CCR, we reviewed Gatchaman Episode 13 The Mysterious Red Sand. And we got silly. Very silly. Very, very, very silly. As I said in the episode, I had been up for 12 hours before we recorded and running on two pots of coffee as well as inappropriate thoughts. This is the first episode of Gatchaman that did not also become an episode of Battle of the Planets. This episode has old guys who speak in riddles, dodgy science, scatological humor, and, well, let's just address … [Read more...]
CCR Episode 012 The Gluttonous Monster Ibukron
On today’s episode of CCR, we will be reviewing Gatchaman Episode 12 The Gluttonous Monster Ibukron. This is the first in the episodes that revolve around sweetener. We're back to the Galactor plan being "Just make them miserable, and they'll freak out". The Commander of the Week Our Roach Boss is sporting some muted natural colors. Green undershirt, a powder blue torso covering with pointed shoulders and cutouts, a matching full head mask with red and black accents, and the mouth and ears … [Read more...]
CCR Episode 011 The Mysterious Red Impulse
There isn't much to put in the show notes for this episode. We've recorded and released this one a bit early before going out of town because it's Spring Break for Kathy and she needs a break from homework. No, we're not going to Daytona. We're going to Omaha. Omaha, Nebraska. Episode 11 is an important episode in that it has a very important, crucial plot point that affects the rest of the series. The Commander of the Week There was no Commander of the Week this week. Only Katse and he … [Read more...]
