A podcast about anime by people who hate anime.
Preston's out this week - and their valor has been robbed. While their sorted that out, Madeline and Russell have thoughts on Harry Potter, One Piece, Manhunt, and all sorts of other stuff. #PunishedPreston follow Madeline @vhsvvitch follow Russell @russellup_ follow the show @rockettopunchi
For our 70th episode, we do what we do best: gab about nothing. Topics d'jour include exploitation movies, turtle comics, and why we collect expensive plastic as grown adults instead of being stockbrokers or something. follow Madeline @VHSVVitch follow Russell @RussellUp__ follow Russell @robotechnology follow the show @rockettopunchi
Happy new year! We haven't changed a bit. This week - we return to anime with one of Russell's faves. Plus - emotional confessions! Wet dreams! And why Josie McCoy actually sucks.

To Lara-Su, Thanks For Nothing! Ken Penders this week, we're joined by Sega expert and friend of the show Patrick Gardner (aka Kori Maru) to talk Ken Penders, Jaleel White, and our feelings about Sally Acorn's pants. it's a fun, extra-rowdy throwback to the past, present, and future of Sonic! (we think so, anyway.) follow the show on Twitter @rockettopunchi follow Bella @VHSVVitch follow Russell @RussellUpstream follow Preston @robotechnology follow Patrick @KoriMaru
Preston's out, so Russell and Bella admit they were wrong about Be Cool, Scooby Doo and wax nostalgic over the classic A Pup Named Scooby Doo. Please subscribe & share to support the show! Follow us on Twitter Bella's Twitter Russell's Twitter
For the last episode of Croc-Tober In November, we sink our teeth into Russell's pick: the unsung '50s atomic horror gem, The Alligator People. Plus: MCU trash talk! Thinly veiled furry fetishes! Inappropriately flippant summaries of serious topics! We have fun here. Follow @rockettopunchi and @ihatemoviespod on Twitter!

Scalies, rabbit wives, and a thoroughly mid croc flick from the guy who made Wolf Creek? Yeah, it could only be Rocketto Punchi. We talk Rogue (2007) and get into the finer points of our furry kinks. Oh, and please don't ask about Preston's isekai vagina. (Seriously.) Pod Twitter Bella's Twitter Russell's Twitter Preston's Twitter
NOTE: Apologies for the audio issues on this one. A guy who made bootleg Kamen Rider and tried to steal Ultraman from its creators made a crocodile movie, and Preston made us watch it.
In the final chapter of Unmasking Saban, we discuss Haim Saban's intimate ties to the Clintons, and how his ill gains lined DNC pockets and furthered Zionism's hold on liberal politics. Plus: we discuss 2017's Power Rangers, and why it might be the best thing to ever come out of the series.

"Go Go Power Rangers - End Titles" by Brian Tyler and Ron Wasserman
Mystic Knights have come to save our lives, and Haim Saban has come to backstab his closest allies, run a cable channel into the ground, and threaten business partners with his Israeli military experience. Plus: how Fox Family Channel helped kill Addams Family for almost two decades!
One part of the legendary Bulk and Skull, Shakespeare scholar, and tokusatsu expert Jason Narvy joins us for a chat about his start in acting and the high art in "low art," and shares some of his memories of working on the iconic Power Rangers series! Intro music by Paul Morgan and the Ole Miss Music Department.
In our first industry interview, we talk with immensely talented IDW Sonic The Hedgehog artist Reggie Graham about his lifelong passion for the series and how he got into comics. Then: we stumble through '90s catchphrases and 9/11 jokes for a chat about the classic Sonic OVA!
Masked Rider... Masked Rider... Masked Rider! Today, we talk about (you guessed it!) Saban's ill-fated Masked Rider, give a brief history on Kamen Rider, and discuss how Haim Saban funneled millions of dollars worth of Power Rangers sales to the sustained genocide of Palestinian children.
What do you get when you cross bugs, VR, and Jay Leno? Why, the bizarre fever dreams of VR Troopers and Beetleborgs, of course! We walk you through the history of Metal Hero, how it got brought to America, and how Shuki Levy's almost 4,000 music credits might be a little sus in the second part of Unmasking Saban.
The first in a five-part series, Unmasking Saban takes you through the life of notorious mogul Haim Saban, and does a deep dive into the shows that made him a political power player. In this episode, we discuss the troubled production and abusive practices behind Power Rangers - a show that would become one of the most powerful brands of the '90s.
Space Jam 2: IP Boogaloo is out, and boy, do we ever have some thoughts on it. Also, we discuss the finer points of Bugs Bunny's sexual expression!
Tim Allen having sex! Strange feelings about Venus De Milo! Uhhh... "jokes"? This week, we tackle Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation (1997), Power Rangers In Space (1998,) and the would-be iconic crossover episode, "Shell Shocked"!
After almost 15 years, they finally made a sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III... and it's awful! We're talking TMNT (2007) in the fourth installment of our impromptu Turtle deep dive. Oh, and cum. We're also talking about cum. Because of course!
We're going back in time (but not with Huey Lewis) to talk about 1993's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III! Is it as bad as everyone says? Or is the TMNT fanbase a bunch of grown men who take this all too seriously? Plus: bestiality jokes! Too many of them, actually.
Secret of the Ooze? More like Secret of the Boos! Just kidding - Bella's just mean. This time, we continue our Turtle Talk series (that's what we're calling it now) and discuss Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze!
5000 downloads seems like good a time as any to (deep) dish on the 1990 martial arts puppetry spectacular, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! But wait a second - who's this mysterious, devilishly handsome man crashing our episode?!
In this episode, we put more thought into talking about Mortal Kombat (1995) and Mortal Kombat (the other one) than went into making them! Also - Russell informs us that Nagatoro is turning ladies gay and I go on yet another tangent about being sexually attracted to Godzilla. Wholesome fun for the whole family! Also cum jokes.
"Wait - The Mummy isn't anime!" Well, thanks to noted homewrecker Scooby-Doo, there are some BIG changes (and sad goodbyes) coming to ol' Rocketto Punchi! But once that's out of the way - movie and anime news awaits, followed by a ONE HOUR discussion of the 1999 Universal classic, The Mummy!
Happy 50th episode! It's that time of the year again - time for Bella and Russell to talk about Scooby Doo way too much! We talk through Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo, a new movie that we have, uh... a LOT of thoughts on.
It took almost fifty episodes, but we finally duped a guest into joining us! The lovely Yoshino joins us to talk about video game anime, Playmobil movies, pregnant women killing each other, and short king Jet Li starring in... a Supernatural anime?! NOTE: There are some audio issues in this episode that came from all four of us. We're aware and we're sorry.
Robert's Anime Corner Store, '90s OVAs, and back flesh? Boy, we really do have it all in this definitely-not-rushed, absolutely polished episode that's totally... acceptable? Yeah, yeah, we'll go with that.
It's Discotek Day, folks! We're breaking down each new announcement from our fave anime company the only way we know how: badly, with a lot of dumb jokes.
KissAnime - gone too soon, or good riddance? Also! We get into the drama surrounding Krystal LaPorte, talk about lost dubs, and discuss Preston's apparent fetish for Ken!
Uzaki-chan's mouth: a medical concern or a cute moe trait? You decide. Also, we talk Gundam, catch up with some news, and dig deep into the Uzaki drama! We're back, baby.
Bella's gone, so the lads talk tossing, turtles, and, uh, other stuff. Wait, what are they tossing, anyway? Hold on a second... that's not how you make pizza!
We talk about a cool claymation show, but mainly, we just talk about Adam Sandler's feet. I mean, and anime. But mostly feet. Brought to you by Uncut Toes, your #1 delivery service for Adam Sandler's feet pics!
Bella and Russell discuss the finer points of Adam Sandler's storied career. Nah, just kidding, they're both incredibly horny for Interspecies Reviewers, which is actually a pretty good show? Maybe Funimation is being a bunch of puritanical prudes? Wait, is this episode another excuse to be horny for anime and bash Funimation? Yeah, probably. Anyway, listen to it, and try to see if you can tell that Bella did an edible before recording!
At long last, the Sonic movie is out, and the three of us have thoughts! Also, Preston waxes poetic about bussy, Bella's a general degenerate, and Russell tries to keep a grasp on his sanity through it all. What a champ!
This episode was sitting on Bella's hard drive from, uh, last June. So, yeah, Russell and Preston talk about Gundam for two hours, and it basically rules. Listen to it or mommy's going to be mad at you.
Oscars, Tonies, Kennedy Center Honors - move over! It's time for the first (or is it the second?) annual Weeby Awards! The most important awards show of the year, that definitely isn't an incoherent rambling trainwreck with occasional nuggets of wisdom from Russell and Preston!
Jinkies! Without Preston to curb them, Bella and Russell talk about Scooby Doo for literally two hours! Oh, and some other stuff.
Blank Check is a weird perverse hentai nightmare and you can't convince us otherwise. Also: convoluted lore! We talk about it!
What's the deal with Fate? We get to the bottom of it. Also, don't try to pick up girls by showing them the hentai you punch your meat to - especially if it's Funko Pop! ahegao. Oh, and this episode's about Trigger!
Russell and Preston take the wheel to talk about a strangely titled, wild, wonderful tokusatsu show. Where's Bella? Deep in study for the next episode...
Central Park Media Presents A Mookie McFarlin Production Big Daddy Colon
Preston tells us about something scandalous his roommate did in India. Oh, also, we talk about tokusatsu in America for about two hours, and finally come up with a regular upload schedule!
In this episode, we talk about Kyoto Animation's impact on the industry and our lives. Our hearts go out to If you can, please donate to them in this time of need. Thank you. We'll be back to regular recording this August. Help KyoAni Heal Fundraiser
Is this podcast just an excuse for Bella to plug the nasty anime smut she's seen? No, definitely not. It's purely professional. This episode, Bella and Russell get into the current season, Case Closed, and new mic discussions - not to mention a conversation about anime censorship and how silly it is. Oh, and dick.
A new Scooby-Doo movie? Who else is more qualified to review it than Bella and Russell, two adults who care a lot about the cartoon dog and his pals? Also - City Hunter, Dragon Ball Z, and ostensibly jokes!
Preston and Bella get in a fight, but don't worry, mommy and daddy still love each other. Also: hentai! Rants! Ruminations on capitalism stifling our societal ability to communicate effectively! Jokes! All this, and much more, in this definitely coherent, absolutely planned episode of Rocketto Punchi!
We regret to inform you that, after a lengthy hiatus, our podcast has returned. This episode, we rip into the Oscars, discuss the accusations surrounding Vic Mignogna, and get into live-action adaptations of anime before discussing Alita: Battle Angel. Also, Bella really likes James Cameron, and Russell and Preston go off on a whole thing about G Gundam. It's a time.
We get in the holiday spirit by talking about St. Young Men! Also, we talk mad garbage about Gen Fukunaga, give props to Viz, and discuss hypothetical flirting with Nic Cage! You know... the usual. 0:00 - Intro. It's long. Very long. 19:50 - Gen Fukunaga is terrible, so let's talk about Evangelion, dubs, and... Hajime no Ippo?! 30:20 - Remember TechTV? Also, sorry if you ha 31:45 - Shonen Jump for two dollars?! In this economy?! 38:25 - Lazy ramble about the holidays! 42:50 - Dubbed Ranma's a bad time. 46:20 - St. Young Men 1:07:27 - Sales, Social Media, and Outros, Oh My! 1:19:40 - The Rocketto Punchi Holiday Album?!
This week, we ruminate on the passing of Fred Patten and Stan Lee, go off on Funimation, and brainstorm a grittier Detective Pikachu. Oh, right, and we talk about the new anime season, too. Actually, that's what we do for most of the episode. Fun!
Today, Bella and Russell take a look back at one of the most beloved Scooby Doo characters of all time: Sheriff Buzby. Wait, no, Billy Bob Scroggins. I mean Ben Ravencroft. No, no, that drummer in the Hex Girls. Anyway, we talk about Scooby Doo Meets The Boo Brothers and Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost for the final installment of Otakutober. What's that? It's November? Shh.
We finally talk about Little Witch! Russell likes it! Also news and the usual bullshit!
It's Otakutober (look, Russell came up with it in a drive-thru line, don't be rude,) and you know what that means - spooky anime! And nothing's spookier than English dubs, so we're doing Ghost Stories, the only dub that matters! Also, we're BSing 99% of this episode to pad time, and honestly, what's scarier than two nerds BSing for an hour? Not much, really! So listen to it! And subscribe, maybe? That'd be cool. Yep.
