Nuking the Podcat

WE’RE BACK! Yes, we know this is episode 9. We wanted to get the new hotness out there right away…and then we’ll circle back and put up episodes 7 and 8. The good(?) news is that episode 7 is already edited, so it’s just a question of compiling the liner notes. So why did we rush this one out the door? Well, the Cat is travelling to Japan in mid-September and to prepare for that, we’ve decided to delve into Japanese cinema. Er…scratch that. We’ve decided to delve into Japanese B-cinema with Minoru Kawasaki’s The Calamari Wrestler! So, does seafood mix with professional sports-entertainment…with more than just a dose of Japanese craziness thrown in? Listen on…brave reader…listen on…

This episode, we take a look at Shaw Brothers Studio’s 1975 film, Super Inframan…an attempt to combine the standard 70s Hong Kong chop-socky flick that Shaw Brothers are so well known for with the then very popular tokusatsu genre from Japan…notable examples being Ultraman and Kamen Rider. So…what happens when east meets…further east? Let’s find out!

This time, it's Charles who suggests the movie with Chuck Norris fighting David Carradine in Lone Wolf McQuade. Like the film, this movie also pits Steve and Charles at odds. Is it a good movie? Belly up to the bar with us and find out!

In this episode, we continue to drink and talk about movies, this time reviewing The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. The film suffers from cinematic ADD...which makes it a perfect fit for the Podcat! Grab your favorite alcoholic beverage and join us as we fire up the Jet Car!

Ever wanted to hear the sound of two drunk men talking about movies? Now you can with Nuking the Podcat! In our first episode, we try to figure out a format, drink, talk about Disney's 1979 film The Black Hole, drink, and go off on various tangents. Did I mention we drink?
