VoIP Life 99: Anime Planning Committee

VoIP Life 99: Anime Planning Committee

Making this VoIP available to everyone who pledges because we talk about some broad network plans going forward, but also there's a bunch of bullshit and a fun quiz courtesy of Nora. Please enjoy, and if you don't normally listen to VoIP Life, well ... it's mostly like this. Dumb. Fun. Dumb and fun.

The Great Gundam Project 224: Gundam SEED 21 & 22

We're joined by Zack this week as SEED continues to do what it does, and make demands that if it's going to continue to be this bad we need a better stream of truly stupid episodes and not flashbacks to prior peaks. Meanwhile, the brain of Voltes V grew three sizes that day.

We're joined today by Ian to help us cope with more Gundam SEED, as somehow we have even more awful developments in the epic story of the cucking of sai argyle. It might be on a downswing now. We've never been happier to see Athrun Zala in our lives.

The Great Gundam Project 222: Gundam SEED 17 & 18

It got worse. I don't know how but it genuinely got worse. Is this rock bottom? Can gundam hurt us any more than this? Are we fated to be the Sai Argyle of podcasts? These are the questions of our times. This is the dark night of the soul and we will emerge from it and watch Voltes.

Block Busters 13: Ready Player One

For once we manage to actually just talk about the movie the whole goddamn time, and that's because this one sits and a strange influx of all the things we fixate on all the time anyway. Is it good? Ehhhh, no. Is it interesting? Actually, yeah. Anyway, Stephen, give us a ring, we have some questions.

Welcome to the last of a year of our best podcast as we sit down with a dubious period classic from the strange cinematic world of 2003 and  talk about The Last Samurai.

It's the end of the year so it's time for Em's favorite pasttime: torturing Jackson with the past! We go over some resolutions from last year, some hopes for 2022, and a general sense that we're mostly doing what we can. Then, we veer sharply into podcast planning, and discuss the future of Abnormal Mapping. No, not in like a doomer way, just wh...

This episode we tackle the strange gender farce Miss Congeniality and talk about the end of a certain type of cinema, the power of Acting, and baffling gay jokes. The year 2000 was a strange land, populated by strange people. This also, inexplicably, is part 2 of 3 of our Matrix coverage. If we titled this episode, I'd call it Bickle's Back.&nbs...

We're back and Jackson has a few surprises to wrest Em out of their movie death grip, and we are given a gift from everyone's favorite podcasting (Mario Party) superstar, Nora! Also, Em threatens Jackson with a bad time next episode, but honestly that's more or less every podcast so maybe it doesn't bear mention.

VoIP Life 93: Yoohoo Answers

Welcome to VoIP Life, which is perhaps in its flop period as all Em wants to do is talk about movies because nobody has done much of anything else. That's okay. Eventually, when you hit rock bottom, sometimes you keep digging and strike gold. Maybe the metaphor is being stretched a bit. But that's so it can fit this SUPER SIZED VOIP!
