Lost in Mistranslation

Every story must begin somewhere. Be it during a childhood of innocence, an adulthood of violence or a life of inconsequentiality, everything has a point of origin. It’s just that, sometimes, nobody cares and the most fun part of the story comes later on… -30-

Everybody may want to be a Master and everybody may want to show their skill, but they are not all Ash Ketchum and lack the prerequisite marketability needed to warrant a movie deal. Also, they didn’t convince a whole generation that they “Gotta catch ’em all!” and that a world without Pokemon is a horrible fate one should not wish upon their worst enemies…even if their name is Gary (insert expletive) Oak. -30-

Would you ever, ever take a trip to PAX? Where gaming panels happen, running back-to-back. Would you ever, ever take a trip to PAX? With stalls and stands and kiosks, taking all your cash. Do you enjoy the world of the fun and fictitious? The pixels and polys and creators ambitious? -30-

Now, now, now, now once upon a time in the west, video games used to be primed for the west. Gamers wanted to escape to the west, free of any real violence and stress (which is scary). Grab the controller, slam the buttons, start fighting something. Dodge all the bad guys, slip on a mad guise. Bring your stats up, see all the killing you did. Draw your guns quick, playing around like Billy, kid.   -30-

Since as far back as at least two people existed on this, the planet of Earth, somebody has been saying that two heads are better than one. Except when you’re talking about how many heads a single body should have, but especially when you’re talking about how to really headbutt something good. -30-

They say that no man is an island. But nowhere does it say that no man can love an island. More specifically: The Island. Loving an actual island may be a little difficult though, logistically speaking. -30-

Picture, if you will, a world of unending choice. A world wherein a person can soar through the air with a simple thought, where there is no danger of injury, nor is there fear of missing those key moments of life that so often pass by unnoticed. Also, there are unlimited bullets and people sometimes have really big heads. -30-

Were limits to not exist in this realm we dub reality, there would be nothing to strive beyond, to shatter and leave reeling in awe as we climb ever higher. Also, it would make it really difficult to appreciate how awesome it is when an anime character, like, punches the moon in half or something. -30-

With an unexpectedly long hiatus behind them, Kane and Matt ruminate on the facets of the universe that have plagued them for so long: Chickens and Vegito. To seek meaning in this would be a fruitless endeavour and that, as with all things, is merely another hidden truth of existence…or it isn’t. -30-

When the Luke is away, the Kane and Matt will spend 2+ hours talking about Jason Statham, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Jackie Chan, the Lethal Weapon franchise, Ludacris, Crash Bandicoot, Zathura and Transformers: The Last Knight. Try and guess which one they were less than enthused about. -30-

They say that an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. A deep and compassionate thought to be sure. But what power does this saying hold when one is beyond the world? Say, drifting through the vacuum of space…as an alien with the ability to travel through time. How many are blinded then? It’s the space man…the answer is the space man. -30-

Just as there is more than one way to skin a cat (a thought which is as horrible as it is pointless in these peaceful, cat skin respecting times), it would seem that there is not a singular path when it comes to dubbing. A lot of these paths also happen to be winding, unfinished or just plain dead ends. But the ones that aren’t… -30-

It must be tough being a superhero. All that pressure. All those expectations. To live up to an impossible standard and never once falter. That must be why they changed the requirements to simply: Beat the bad guy. Nowadays, a hero can level an entire city as long as a villain gets their comeuppance. Bonus points if said comeuppance includes a very violent impression of an owl. -30-

Having spent a long few weeks radio silent, traipsing off to corners of the world filled to the brim with culture most popular, the podcast crew finds its way home…minus a few. Yes folks, it’s the Kane and Luke Show, starring those two loveable guys who…just talk about the same stuff as always. Only quieter. -30-

Since the Earth was first formed over 4,000 years ago, evil has sought the souls of men. However, through trials of cursed apples, giant grasshoppers and ten faced demons from beyond the stars, there have been those brave enough to stand tall for the forces of good. Heroes. Champions…guys who really like beetles. -30-

When the world stands against you and you find yourself on the cutting room floor, there is only one thing you can do: Become a battle manga. In this scenario you were a manga, heads up on that. If you’ve already done that, your best bet would be to just timeskip an indeterminate amount of years into a metropolitan future and have a bunch of children all at once. You are also a manga in this scenario. -30-

Since man first saw their image, reflected back to them on the surface of a still lake, they have pondered one simple question: How do I get cooler? Luckily, it was soon discovered that the answer was laser beam eyes and a wicked mad robot arm that could both crush boulders and perform a solid, yet not overbearing, handshake at job interviews and meetings with a significant other’s father. Science is still working on it, but its notes are promising. -30-

There comes a time in everybody’s life when they must stop and ask themselves one important question: “What would I do if a giant monster threw an entire horse at me?” The reality of finding the simple head of such a creature was captured on film years ago, but this? This is something different. Something terrifying. And all the discussions about adolescent ninjas and yellow brick roads in the world won’t keep that fear at bay…or it might. Can’t hurt to try. -30-

The guys finally get around to talking about the new anime season this week and ponder what will fill their viewing schedules…and also what definitely won’t. There’s still a grey area there for things that might be fun to watch in that “it’s so dumb it’s awesome” kind of way, but it really isn’t that big. Unless you’re super into cutesy anime girls…or robots…or cutesy anime girl robots. But surely the market for that kind of thing isn’t one of the largest in the world…right? -30-

Bell-bottoms, JNCO jeans, live action anime adaptations, Naruto AMVs. What do all these things have in common? Jack squat, but that won’t stop this episode from including them all. Why? Nobody knows. But it might be fun to try and guess…”might” being the operative word. Inexperience Point https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rHdkYqM1oreE8b6DkfsxA -30-

With March finally upon the world, there is only one thing to do that makes sense: Talk about the brand new Nintendo Switch, the portable console that has everyone’s attention certifiably grabbed. Of course, this podcast seldom makes sense and the guys spend most of it solving some of the greatest questions of the age. When is a person considered evil? Who decided rap would best represent One Piece? Was 1999 the greatest year for film in the history of the world? Who is and isn’t Jango Fett? The answers may surprise you. -30-

Okay, so this episode might start of a little on the heavy, real world side, but rest assured, the guys are back to their usual inane banter in no time. Yep, from the reinstatement of the Japanese military forces to the time that Yami Yugi almost killed Weevil with a card game, to a game that shows imagination is the perhaps the greatest super power out there, this episode has it all…depending on what you definition of “all” is. -30-

One hundred episodes go by and the world loses its mind. Honestly, an episode of this podcast following a time limit? Who’s ever heard of such insanity? What’s worse, the guys actually managed to keep it. They actually managed to keep it and still found the time to prattle on about JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures and Marvel comics. It’s a whole new frontier above one hundred. There are no more rules… -30-

One hundred. The big one. The moment when that counter hung oh so long on double digits gets the chance to add one more to its ranks. It is also proof that a bunch of somewhat intelligible guys, who somewhat know what they’re saying, can talk for a cumulative amount of hours that is truly frightening. Now, who’s up for one hundred more? -30-

When the Luke is away, the Frank and Jake shall play. They, along with Kane, shall also refuse to label this as Episode 100, in a show of solidarity for their absent comrade. It also gives them a chance to act like total loons, although that isn’t nearly as nice as the “solidarity” angle and would probably have happened regardless of numbering conventions. -30-
