In the tenth episode of Your Uncle's Beach House we are joined by our friend Rick to talk about Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind, Hayao Miyazaki's deeply influential manga, and also movie. Our focus is the manga here, but we've done our homework, we've all watched the movie too. I think this is a pretty good episode! I hope you enjoy!

Hi everyone, Em here! If you've been following along for the past month you'll know that this month has been one where I was sick for half of it and still recovering from the bomb that went off in my schedule for the rest. I didn't mean for these letters to be the last thing I got to in getting back on the podcast network horse, but here we are....

After a week off due to sickness, we're here to enjoy some Mech Anime. Gundam and Macross are both in very good places, plus we have a short discussion on the Rebuild of Evangelion movies - which we mostly enjoyed! It feels good to rest, it feels good to be back.

Hey folks,
Jackson here with another Patreon Letter! Hello! This past week, I watched all the Bourne movies, and now I'm gonna write about them. Hope you enjoy this quick, pretty zoomed out retrospective.
Spoilers as usual - not just for Bourne films but for a few other blockbusters, so just be aware, but nothing too out there ...

It's only been two weeks since the last Voip Life but we took a week off from Gundam so it feels like we have not podcasted in several years. But we're back and we're here with a Voip[ Life, which is avaliable to all $1/month subscribers, as a thank you gift for the fact we missed Gundam. I hope you enjoy the pod, the energy of having not talked...

Hey folks, it's Jackson here with another Patreon Letter! I watched two movies on Sunday, and now I am here to talk about one, or both of them. Have not decided how that will fall yet, we'll just have to see how long it takes me to hit 800 words. It is good to have options, as the wise man said. Here we go!
It's a low energy episode of GGP this week as Em and I are both sick with basically the same illness despite it being different to the ways we usually get sick, and despite us living on different sides of an ocean. I am forced to come to one irrefutable conclusion: god simply does not want us to talk about Evangelion ever.

Hey folks, Jackson here! Been a while since I've done one of these. Last month was very busy, but I haven't forgotten you. To make up the backlog of letters I owe, I'm going to be writing one every week this month. Em will still write on their normal schedule, but I'll be doing weekly too just as a nice little bonus for everyone. <...

We get back on the Voip Life schedule with this episode! With some help from our friends after a bereft week we were sent some content, some lists to go down, and you know what I think it turned out pretty great. This is a good episode, imo. Please enjoy!

Newtypes might suck at understanding the nature of things, and they definitely suck at not being driven by their transient emotions. But if there's one thing they don't suck at, it's killing loads of random dudes in a big ass mobile suit battle. And that is perhaps the most important thing of all.

First order of business is a very delayed Voip Life. The next one will come out this week also, to give you an idea of how delayed it is. But! But. It's very go...

Don't eat the salad. Don't talk about the salad, do not make plans to eat the salad, and under no circumstances bond with your significant other over the nostalgic and warm connection symbolically represented by the salad.

Another week, another gundam, this time Victory is kind enough to be good enough to be supremely disappointing, like all the best Gundam is. While we lament Gundam's continued refusal to take that one extra step and become the best version of itself, Macross continues putting everyone else to shame.

Hi everyone, Em here today! I am writing this with a podcast start time looming over me, so I'm going to have to get right to it this morning!
Gamer Christmas is over and we're left with the strange hangover of getting way too invested in some commercials, much like every year. I enjoy watching E3 in a sort of detached way, because I...

Voip Life time! Sorry for the short delay, but it is here now, and I hope you enjoy! Today we tackle an old list from film website The Dissolve (rip) where they rank the 50 Films of the Decade So Far in 2015, and see how it's aged.

After last week's disaster things mostly return to normal, enjoyable gundam this week while Macross continues to put every single mech show that has ever existed to shame. How is anyone meant to compete?

"I wish there were more women in Gundam who got to actually pilot the robots," we said, foolishly, not knowing what we were about to unleash unto the world. Gundam's potential for greatness continues to go to war with the ludicrous sexism of its creators, and here we are again. The world keeps on turning.

Hi everyone, this letter is absolutely an entire week late, and I apologize. I've been trying to take some more time to relax lately, not just constantly run myself into the dirt overworking, and it's been hard to restructure my time management in a way where things don't slip. The letters? They've been slipping. In my defense so has the laundry...

This week on Voip Life it's a bit of a negative episode coming off a bit of a negative wek but we're here and we're doing our best!
It's Classic Jessie!
Folks, now that Tomino has come back to us and we've spent weeks being overjoyed, it's time now to remember all the ways he exhausted us in the first place.

It can't. But Database rips.

Hey folks, Jackson here with my Pateron Letter! There was none last weekend so mine's this weekend, Em's will be soon. But there was never any doubt what the topic would be: let's talk a little about Final Fantasy 7.
