One Cross Radio

Since Christmas is on monday, we're dropping this early on friday!   On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're looking at the most recent and utterly fantastic entry to the Godzilla franchise from Toho studios, Godzilla Minus One.   The film has been earning rave reviews, starting some interesting conversations about film making, and is connecting with western and mainstream audiences in ways that no prior Toho Godzilla film has. What makes it so good? How does the human story impact the film? Is it the best film Chris has seen in several years?   The last answer is yes, but still tune in to find out!   We'll be off for the next few weeks and be back in early-mid Jan! To those celebrating, merry Christmas and happy holidays for whichever holiday you are celebrating :)   Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!  

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're reflecting on the most recent era of the James Bond franchise; the Daniel Craig era. Spanning five films between 2006s 'Casino Royale' and 2021s 'No Time To Die', Craigs tenure as Bond saw the franchise go to previously unreached heights.   But was it all successes? Did everything 'work'? Does fan-favourite Skyfall still hold up?   Join us as we dive in and take a look!   Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're diving back into our unmade series and looking at some of the unmade properties involving the big-blue-boy-scout, Superman! Which of these should never see the light of day, and which could have been truly dope? Tune in to find out! And if you want to hear a hilarious take on one of the unmade versions of it, be sure to check out the classic story from Kevin Smith about his involvement (part 1) (part 2)! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're sharing some updates on the show (and why today's episode is a reshare), and then resharing a fun episode from our Unmade series where we were joined by Steve Lambert and explored known and unknown unmade Spider-Man films! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!    

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're sharing an unreleased section of an episode from our other show, the Radio Arcade Podcast! Midway through our 29th episode (which was looking at Ocarina Of Time and Majora's Mask), Christian and I got off-topic and talked about Star Wars for about 30mins - looking at some of the games, the films, feelings on the sequels, some of the books, and where things could possibly go. We removed it from the episode cause it didn't fit with the main topic (5 min tangent? sure, 30 mins.. harder to justify keeping it in), and Christian was awesome enough to keep the audio for us to share here! Also, as we shared in the last ep, we will be taking a break for the next few weeks - the next ep will be on monday November 13th! If you liked the episode, please be sure to check out the Radio Arcade Podcast! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

Today's episode is being repurposed from a recent video over on our youtube channel!   Join us as we do some updates, and then dive in and rank the four films of the (fantastic) monstervse! Which will make number 1? Tune in to find out!   Also, shout out to Amnimotus Music for their dope lofi remix of the Godzilla theme, which we used in the intro, and can be found here!   Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, which has been four years in the making (for real, we just *could not* find a workable time for awhile), we are rejoined by the one and only Dave Cooke, and we're talking Star Wars!   Join us, two life long fans, as we look at some of our favourite aspects of Legends, the current cannon, and our ranking of the films!   Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

Today's episode is being repurposed from a recent video over on our youtube channel!   So today we're following up on a recent episode of the podcast, and starting a possible new subseries called "Make Your Pitch" (partially inspired by the reboot it channel, credit where it's due). And what better way to kick off this new series than pitching a new version of Jurassic Park that would be a mini series and more faithful to the book?   Join in as we look at the tone of the show, the setting, and the cast. Please remember, this is all in good fun. If you disagree, cool, I'd love to know who you'd cast instead. Let us know in the comments below what you think of our pitch for Jurassic - what your version would be - and what other property you'd personally pitch!   Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're kicking off a potential new sub-series!   Using the 1998 Tristar and the 2014 Legendary American 'Godzilla' movies, along with 2016's Shin Godzilla from Toho, we're looking at how you can successfully or unsuccessfully reimagine and adapt a character/property and bring it to a new audience (or time). What makes some work more than others? Does it have to be purely what was there before? Tune in to find out!   Also, be sure to check out 雨蛙amagaeru's dope cover of "Who Will Know" that we used in our intro. The song, and cover, are fantastic.    Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

On today's episode of One Cross Radio (which may or may not have been decided by a coin toss), we're talking about the importance of franchises/movies needing a plan to continue, and to illustrate we're using the examples of Bond, Jurassic Park, and Halloween.   Now these are three very different franchises, but all are in a similar position currently; all three recently had big story enders, and are in the position of "where do they go from here?".   Explore with us as we look at how these long running franchises could continue, if in the age of IP everything needs to be a franchise, and how things can be easy yet get needlessly complicated.   Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're diving back into disaster territory and looking at the infamous 1916 Jersey Shore Shark Attacks.   Join us as we look at those unfortunate deaths, how the event influenced a movie/book that shaped pop culture (looking at you, Jaws), exploring some of the bogus theories (looking at you, 'rogue theory) and conspiracies that rose from it, seeing how we have (but also haven't) learned from it, and talking about sharks being awesome despite things.   Some of the articles I used in researching this are below, and I really recommend you check them out:   https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/150702-shark-attack-jersey-shore-1916-great-white?loggedin=true&rnd=1688919484049   https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/shark-attacks/odds/compare-risk/death/   https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/shark-attacks/yearly-worldwide-summary/   https://worldanimalfoundation.org/advocate/shark-attack-statistics/   http://www.elasmo-research.org/education/topics/saf_nj_maneater.htm   https://ecologyforthemasses.com/2022/05/10/the-guilt-of-one-shark-the-history-of-the-rogue-shark-theory/   https://www.forbes.com/sites/melissacristinamarquez/2018/10/13/why-everything-you-know-about-rogue-sharks-is-a-lie/?sh=4bf0be2d7a2f   Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!  

On today's 200TH (??!!) episode of One Cross Radio, we're thwip-thwiping into... er... Across The Spiderverse! Join us as we look at this latest spectacular big screen outing of Miles (and Spidey in general). Does it hold up to it's amazing predecessor? What other Spider-peeps appear? And why does it make Chris rant about Sony at the end of the episode? Tune in to find out! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're diving into our back catalogue and rereleasing an old episode. Why?

I hope you'll enjoy our trip down memory lane!   On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we are joined by lifelong brother and fellow Trekkie Dave Cooke, and we're talking about (you guessed it) Star Trek. Dave and I look at our favourite shows, the films, franchise misfires, and what some of our hopes are from its future. When not being an accountant extraordinaire, Dave is a Treasurer for the Bolivian Children Foundation, which you can learn more about by hitting up their website: http://www.bolivianchildren.ca/ Hope you enjoyed today's episode!

On today's episode on One Cross Radio, you're joining Luna and I on a hike! What are we talking about on this hike? Why, the Terminator franchise of course!   As rumors seem to gather again about a potential reboot of the franchise, we look at weather or not it should happen.

Things have been very chaotic lately (briefly discussed in this episode), and I didn't want to not have a release. I hope you'll enjoy our trip down memory lane!   Also, I need to issue a correction. In my number #2 spot, the master Plagueis killed was Darth Tenebrous, and the person he kept alive in stasis for experimentation was secret apprentice Darth Venamis.  You should also be sure to check out the two youtube channels we shouted out – the first being from our friends Redeemed Otaku and the great kaiju film themed Up From The Depths!   And finally, be sure to hit up our linktree so you can hit up all our socials, our patreon, and our other two podcasts!   Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

What changes did the inquiry's result in? Does Chris apologize for a mistake in the last episode (yes, yes he does)? Could the Californian have helped more?

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're sharing an episode we got to be a guest on over on the Monster Island Film Vault earlier this year!  To cover all bases and links, I'ma hit you with the summary from the original episode! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Kaiju Lovers! “Ameri-kaiju” continues with a bit of an unusual entry; one that, serendipitously, Nate also covered around the same time on his other podcast, The Power Trip: the controversial Power Rangers (2017). While Nate has grown to appreciate this film quite a bit, he intentionally brought on Chris Cooke (co-host of One Cross Radio, Radio Arcade, and Powerbombs and Piledrivers) to discuss it because he does not. However, these two find more common ground than you'd think. That was surprisingly true in today's Toku Topic, which is a discussion of representation in media. This serves as a great companion to the Power Trip episode. Before today's broadcast, Nate entered his office to find sitting in his chair none other than Mr. Gold. After a thinly veiled threat of “termination,” Nate divulges a secret about Jimmy to him. Afterward, the infamous “Not-Goldar” attacks Monster Island out of nowhere—but help arrives in the form of a newly powered-up Karone! But even Nate, Chris, and Jimmy get in on the monster-fighting action thanks to Mechani-Kong Mk. 2. The prologue and epilogue, “With Friends Like You,” was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton. Guest Cast Michael Hamilton as Mr. Gold Celeste Mora as Karone Additional music: “Evil Rising” by David Fesliyan “Pacific Rim,” “Power Rangers Lost Galaxy,” and “Go, Go, Power Rangers” by Niall Stenson “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ. Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip. We'd like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander; Danny DiManna (author/creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of One Cross Radio); Bex from Redeemed Otaku; Damon Noyes, The Cel Cast, TofuFury, Eric Anderson of Nerd Chapel, Ted Williams, Wynja the Ninja, Brad “Batman” Eddleman, Christopher Riner, and The Indiscrite One!

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're looking at the latest entry to the MCU with Black Panther Wakanda Forever. Now, I recorded this about an hour after watching the movie - so feelings were very fresh. And as a friendly reminder, spoilers are inbound. What did you think of the movie? Do you like where it's going? Where do you think the third will go? Isn't Namor the worst? All joking aside, and all that being said - hope you enjoyed, and God bless my friends.

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're sharing an episode we got to be a guest on over on The Power Trip Podcast just recently!  To cover all bases and links, I'ma hit you with the summary from the original episode! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!   The Disney era ends with the biggest of bangs with one of the most popular series in the franchise: Power Rangers RPM. This is so huge, Michael and Nathan had to get in gear by inviting RPM super-fan Chris Cooke (One Cross Radio, Radio Arcade) to discuss it—and the episode is as long as the series! This is the darkest Ranger show yet, and it was adapted from a silly Sentai! This shouldn't work—but does it? Michael saw it before, but he didn't remember liking it. Did he change his mind? Nathan went in wanting the hype to be real. Was he disappointed? All these questions and much, much more will be answered in today's Power Trip! ----------------------------------------------- EMAIL FEEDBACK TO THE SHOW: powertrippod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- FOLLOW THE SHOW: Follow The Power Trips on Twitter: @ThePowerTripPod.

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're sharing an episode we got to be a guest on over on Henshin Men earlier this year!  To cover all bases and links, I'ma hit you with the summary from the original episode! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!   With Travis still on break, Nathan brings on his friend Chris Cooke of One Cross Radio and Radio Arcade to see, as he puts it, “Power Rangers on Crack”—aka Super Inframan. If you're thinking, “That's from Hong Kong, not Japan! It can't be on Henshin Men!” you're wrong. It was made to tap into the “Henshin Boom” of the 1970s, and it had Japanese crewmembers who worked on Ultraman and Kamen Rider, among other tokusatsu. In an episode almost as energetic and crazy as the movie, Nathan and Chris muse about what a thrash metal band and album inspired by this movie would sound like, trademark every silly nickname they give to everything in the movie, and Chris goes on the biggest rant of his podcasting career. Welcome to the zany world of Inframan and Henshin Men! Super Inframan is available on DVD from Image Entertainment and to stream on YouTube. Check out Chris's OCR website, YouTube channel, Instagram, and his other podcast, Radio Arcade. Henshin Men is a proud member of the Kaiju Ramen Media Podcast Network. Follow Henshin Men on Twitter: @HenshinMenPod. Join the official Facebook fan page for this and The Monster Island Film Vault, The Markalite Lounge.
