At 0815 on the morning of August 6th, 1945, an atomic bomb known as ‘Little Boy' was released by Bombardier Thomas Ferebee above the Japanese city of Hiroshima. What followed was a new type of destruction never before visited upon humanity. Buildings burned, Japanese citizens ambled about in confused terror and pain, and radiation began its deadly work. Join us for the first episode of Hardtack as we explore the seemingly peaceful moments before the bomb dropped, and the immediate aftermath as told through some of the survivors of this tragic event.

In this episode I am speaking with Brad Philpot. Brad is an English teacher in Frankfurt but is best known for his brilliant range of textbooks and instructional courses for teaching the IBDP. Brad is someone who has worked within IB education for a long time, holding numerous roles, affording him a massive amount of experience and knowhow when it comes to English instruction and curriculum design.  We discuss: The best book he's ever read, taught or learnt whilst at school How Brad feels about the most recent changes to the DP course, and the IO or HLE in particular Why he chose to set up the most recent textbook s thematically The texts he teaches in the new course When and how the likes of Areas of Exploration, Key Concepts and Global Issues play a part in his curriculum How the Learner Portfolio been implemented in Brad's classes And finally, the element of the English A course he enjoys most and one thing he'd change if he could Brad offered up a variety of insights in this conversation that I'm already looking to implement into my own practice. This was really a refreshing blend of pragmatism and idealism around the many demands made of teachers by the IB.  If you want to be kept up to date on when educational chat like this happens, then be sure to subscribe to the podcast and/or follow me on Twitter @chrisjordanhk  Links:  Brad's IB education consultancy services - https://philpot.education (Philpot Education) https://www.amazon.com/Books-Brad-Philpot/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ABrad%20Philpot (Brad's textbook range) https://www.amazon.com/Barefoot-Gen-Vol-Cartoon-Hiroshima/dp/0867196025 (Barefoot Gen) by Keiji Nakazawa https://www.amazon.com/Best-We-Could-Do-Illustrated/dp/1419718789/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= (The Best We Could Do) by Thi Bui https://www.amazon.com/Belonging-German-Reckons-History-Home/dp/1476796637/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= (Belonging) by Nora Krug https://www.amazon.com/White-Tiger-Novel-Aravind-Adiga/dp/1416562605 (The White Tiger) by Aravind Adiga https://www.amazon.com/Land-Green-Plums-Novel/dp/0312429940/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1DZNSMFO95DWM&keywords=land%20of%20green%20plums&qid=1646743717&s=books&sprefix=the%20land%20of%20green%20%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C305&sr=1-1 (The Land of Green Plums) by Herta Muller

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton & Lum once again tackle more news from the world of manga! We also discuss a lot of new manga from various publishers, including three new doujinshi from Irodori Comics' LGBTQ-focused imprint Irodori Sakura, as well as three new simulpubs! We start off with the manga adaptation of Japan Sinks 2020 exclusively on Mangamo, followed by Ghost Reaper Girl from Shonen Jump, and last but not least, Lockdown Zone: Level X from Denpa! It's a cool collection of new series that we were very excited to talk about and we hope you all check them out!  Unfortunately, we also had to address the arrest of Tatsuya Matsuki, the writer of Act-Age, and the subsequent fallout, such as the cancellation of the series in Shonen Jump and everything else related to it. Our hearts go out to the victims of Matsuki's crimes, as well as Shiro Usazaki, whose artistic talent was responsible for bringing the world and characters of Act-Age to life, and we hope she is able to find more work and success in the future. It goes without saying that we here at Manga Mavericks will NOT be supporting or reviewing any of Matsuki's works in the future and will be dedicating a future episode to our frustrations with the sexist workplace culture at Shonen Jump that has unfortunately festered and harbored multiple predators.

We've looked at our favorite movie moms. And we've looked at our favorite example of movies about daddy issues, that most reliable crutch for lazy screenwriters. But with Father's Day coming up, we decided it was long since time that we gave good dads their time in the sun, which is why our next episode is going to be all about our very favorite dads in the movies. Maybe they're kind sources of wisdom, maybe they're fun buddies who teach their children the importance of getting out there and living life, and maybe they're the heads of powerful mafia families manipulating the lifes of dozens of people just to give their sons a good chance at a better future. We love 'em all, and we're excited to share with you our picks for the best movie dads. In Worth Mentioning we cover The Half of It, Barefoot Gen, The Message thank to Patreon, Gavin.

Hi everyone! We’re closing out the week with another entry in our ongoing series, Under the Kanopy. Kanopy is a library and university funded streaming service that grants card holders six free streams per month from a variety of classic, mainstream, independent, and international releases. They also have streaming agreements with excellent distributors, like A24 and Kino Lorber, who often produce and distribute the critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful films. Today’s film, FOR SAMA, was originally available on Kanopy, but has also recently become available on Amazon Prime, YouTube, and PBS after this year’s nomination for Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars. It is not an easy watch, as it deals with the siege of Aleppo in Syria, from the perspective of a journalist and doctor raising a child in a makeshift warzone hospital. We’ve previously covered Syria in our review for LAST MEN IN ALEPPO (Episode #032), which tackled the noble White Helmets, a community-organized first responder squad which rescued civilians from bomb sites and transported them to hospitals like those in FOR SAMA. Both documentaries are very powerful, but also very graphic, as one might expect. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our good friend Rory Mitchell, from the Mitchell Report Unleashed podcast. They were gracious enough to have yours truly on as a guest recently, which you can check out in Mitchell Report Unleashed Episode #173. You can follow Rory on Twitter @officallyrory, on Facebook @mitchellreportunleashed, and on Instagram @re3684. You can also subscribe to the podcast at anchor.fm/rory-mitchell8.

Connect with us over social media to continue the conversation. Here we go! ///// > ///// Today’s movie is FOR SAMA(2019), the powerful documentary directed by Waad Al-Kateab and Edward Watts. Set within the city of Aleppo, FOR SAMA is a love letter from Waad Al-Kateab to her daughter Sama, born during the brutal siege after the revolution. It is comprised of video shot by Waad Al-Kateab, centered around the makeshift hospital operated by her husband, Hamza Al-Kateab. No spoilers, but a very serious content warning for graphic violence. FOR SAMA is video taken within a war zone, showing the true horrors of modern warfare. It is an important film, but the destruction is very real, and therefore may not be suitable for all viewers. If there’s one blind spot I had last year, it was documentaries. I used to do a regular feature here at One Movie Punch called Documentary Thursdays, and I loved using the opportunity to keep up with theatrical documentaries, or to take in something I wanted to learn more about. 2019 was a very busy year for the podcast, so before today’s film, I had only reviewed one of the current Oscar nominees, AMERICAN FACTORY (Episode #585). Jon-David will be up next week with his review of THE CAVE (Episode #706), another documentary from Syria about another makeshift hospital. We’ll pick up the other two in the coming weeks, but many suspect the award with go to one of these three documentaries. We know AMERICAN FACTORY has reached many viewers thanks to producers Michelle and Barack Obama, but why are there a surprising two documentaries about Syria? Well, because the situation in Syria is horrific. In the early 2010s, the so-called Arab Spring spread across North Africa and the Middle East, a series of popular uprisings against existing governments and dictators, starting in Tunisia, and spreading in large measure to five countries: Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, and Syria. Without getting into the politics of each specific situation, the governments each responded in different ways, most with extreme forms of violence. Syria’s situation, in particular, is horrific thanks in very large part to their current dictator, Bashar al-Assad, and his use of chemical weapons and other forms of collective punishment against the people. This brutal response brought condemnation from the international community, but apparently not enough to push forward with another regime change. This internal conflict would be enough to create a terrible situation, but Syria is also involved to some degree in three external conflicts: sitting next to a volatile situation between Israel and Palestine; a larger regional power struggle with new factions formed out of the chaos of the US occupation in Iraq; and perhaps the most volatile of all, a growing perceived cold war between the United States and Russia, both of which are involved on the ground in Syria for dubious, sometimes confused reasons. The news cycle, especially in the United States, flips between scenes of extreme destruction and very privileged pundits talking about the situation like a geopolitical chess game. They rarely discuss the effect on the actual people on the ground, because they refuse, or are not allowed, to send reporters. So when video evidence is smuggled out, as with FOR SAMA, the truths they reveal become all the more important. That’s the key strength of FOR SAMA: it’s very human focus. Nearly everything we see in FOR SAMA is being captured by Waad al-Kateab, using a decent video camera, and whatever software was available. Waad is a journalist before a documentarian, but FOR SAMA blurs that line a great deal. While news outlets tend to use aerial photos, maps, and staged interviews to discuss the situation, Waad is capturing everything from a very human perspective. Not just bringing her eye to the events around her, but literally capturing things at eye-level and in real-time, during bombings, emergency room trauma, and other regime-induced horrors. Simply put, there is no other record for the horrors taking place in Aleppo except for the footage being captured inside, which is exactly why both FOR SAMA and THE CAVE are very important documentaries, not just for last year, but for the larger historical record. For me, this ground-level focus of FOR SAMA is as important as other works that look at or discuss the horrors of war for everyday citizens. Last year, One Movie Spawn covered IN THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD (Episode #562), which looked at the horror of bombing Japanese civilians during World War II, which was a different take on similar themes in 1983’s BAREFOOT GEN, set in the aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Or the impact of reading Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse Five”, based in part on his experience being a prisoner of war in Dresden during the Allied bombings. All these works show the perversely described “collateral damage” of war, waged in our names, and for which we bear responsibility in equal measure for our support of said actions. And all of which should give us caution in pursuing war at all. Finally, what’s especially important about FOR SAMA is that it is told from a female perspective, and further, from both a mother’s and a daughter’s perspective. I don’t mean this in the sense that crimes against women and children are categorically worse, even if they are in nearly all cases. I mean this in helping men to understand a basic question asked right now, not just in war-torn regions, but in looking towards the coming climate catastrophe: Why bring any life into this world at all? It’s a decision every potential mother will have to make going forward. And yet, when Waad looks at Sama through the camera, and when Sama looks back at her, and through that same camera at us, we know instinctively why. Women have the incredible capability to bear children, and as such, bear the truly awesome responsibility of answering that specific question about bringing life into this world. There is no universal answer to that question, but by the end of FOR SAMA, we all can understand a little more about Waad’s answer. And I suspect mothers will understand her decisions a lot more, in ways I can understand as a father, but also in ways I cannot as a man. FOR SAMA is a poignant, effective, and necessary addition to the historical record, capturing a ground-level look at the siege of Aleppo, from the point of view of director Waad al-Kateab. While capturing the real-life horrors of modern war, it also meditates very well on the larger question of bringing life into a destructive world, provides at least one answer to that question, and importantly all from a mother’s perspective. Documentary fans, or folks who want to learn more about the effect of war on civilians, should definitely check out this film. But please heed all the graphic content warnings! Rotten Tomatoes: 99% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 89 (MUST SEE) One Movie Punch: 10/10 FOR SAMA (2019) is rated TV-PG and is currently playing on Amazon Prime, Kanopy, PBS, and YouTube.

Gabe and Now Playing Network head honcho Jim Laczkowski – who you may remember from Director’s Club Podcast and Voices & Visions, among others – take a deep dive into the soul-crushing world of Nuclear Panic Movies. Again, this subject is too broad for a single podcast, so we’ve broken the discussion down to a series of movies released at the height of ‘80s Cold War paranoia between 1983 and 1988. Jim sets the stage by filling Gabe in on a couple ‘60s entries – Fredric Gadette’s This is Not a Test (1962) and Ray Milland Panic in Year Zero! (1962) – then they dig in, like atomic radiation tearing its way through flesh, bone, and marrow. Subject matter includes Nicholas Meyer’s The Day After (1983), Mick Jackson’s Threads (1984), Lynne Littman’s Testament (1983, #52FilmsByWomen), Edward Zwick’s Special Bulletin(1983), Fred Barzyk’s Countdown to Looking Glass (1984), Mori Masaki’s Barefoot Gen (1983; Gabe also quickly discusses the legacy of Hiroshima/Nagasaki-themed movies), Jimmy T. Murakami’s When the Wind Blows (1986), Steve De Jarnatt’s Miracle Mile (1988), and John Duigan’s One Night Stand (1984). Gabe closes things out with a quick mention of Konstantin Lopushansky’s Dead Man’s Letters (1986), which is otherwise dense enough to fill an entire podcast on its own. Follow along with this handy Letterboxd list (ranked by release date): https://letterboxd.com/gabepowers/list/nuclear-panic-movies-of-the-80s/ Tune in next month when Gabe and Tracks of the Damned’s Patrick Ripoll cram every single slasher movie released in the year 1981.

Based on a suggestion by a listener and to highlight the recent anniversary of the atom bombs being dropped on Japan, we cover Barefoot Gen and also briefly contrast it with Grave of the Fireflies. Demanding unconditional surrender and using the pretense of invasion as political maneuvering while showing the destructive capacity now wielded to brewing adversaries, an entire generation of innocent civilians are murdered in cold blood with the wrong answer to the philosophical trolley problem. The movies both show the horror of war at home that is then amplified at the dawn of the nuclear age. Show notes and more at: http://www.lastnighters.com/32 Reel Unconventional Film Analysis. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.

Wow, it's been a while huh? Almost a month! Man, you guys must have been devastated, going without hearing our pristine sexy voices for so long. Sobbing in a corner like Sugao from Shonen Ashibe and hugging your makeshift Colton and/or Sid body pillows tightly, impatiently tapping the refresh button hping, ever so desperately, for a new episode to load. But that episode never came. So you sat there, wallowing in a mess of piss and tears, eyes red from sleepless nights waiting, ears perked for any hint of our beautiful voices. Your friends and family worried. You'd become a podcast-aholic. You needed your fix, and Manga Mavericks was your drug or choice. Finally, enough was enough. Your family put you in therapy. You resisted at first, but slowly, the therapist gained your trust. You talked. You learned things. About yourself, your problems. You joined Podcastaholics Anonymous, and over time, you got over your addiction. You were free. FREE! ...Or so you thought. The addiction could only be suppressed, not overcome. Deep inside, you still hungered. You re-listened to older episodes, but it wasn't enough. You needed more. Desperate, you tried other manga podcasts, but they didn't satisfy. But you kept listening. You started listening to two at once, then three, then four, then more. Just lying there, engulfed in your insidiously comfy reclining armchair, your life slowly wasting away from a sedentary lifestyle devoid of emotional fulfillment. But you decided enough is enough. "Screw podcasts, I'll watch anime instead!" Weak and malnourished, you blindly clicked upon a random link to a random show on Crunchyroll, hoping you'd land on something light and charming to make the pain go away. And what do you know, you got a comedy. "Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth." Huh. Well, Rock Lee is a pretty cool character, so a show about him show be pretty decent. You hit an ep up. You watch. But...what's this? Dogs pissing on people's heads? Characters steeping in piles of poop? Is this what's become of anime comedy? Then, it happens. A simple image. Rock Lee dressed in women's clothes. Ten Ten makes a big deal of it. Something along the lines of "Oh Lee, you so silly for dressing like a girl. You're a MAN! HUR DUR DUR!!!" You stare, trying to process the incomprehensible scene before you. Then you realize - this is the joke. No, not the fact Lee is dressed in drag and that's somehow supposed to be funny in of itself. That's lame. No, the joke is your life. You're a twenty-something jobless fatass spending your days listening to podcasts and watching crappy chibi comedy spinoffs of overrated shonen action shows. Now, THAT's funny! You snort. Chuckle. Laugh. Laughter that pierces the walls of your decrepit domicile, frightening neighbors who've long thought your home was just an abandoned wreck waiting for demolition. You tear up, roll around the floor in a fit, unable to stop. Then, suddenly, your laughter becomes a cry. A cry for help, freedom, purpose. Ah, what a tragic life! Woe, is the Millennial! Woe, these insufferable first-world problems! Must we want so? Must our desires overwhelm our sense?! Will nothing break the death hold that our destructive desperation for endless entertainment entraps us?! But suffer no longer, my friends! Your titular mavericks Colton and Sid have returned once again to give you to low down on all the hip news and happenings in the manga world. We may have missed a week, but the industry kept on rolling, and we're here today with an extra long episode to cover all the exciting highlights that came out of May! From new manga debuts to new licenses to controversial Kickstarters, there's a lot of ground to cover and we gave ourselves a lot of time to do so. Plus, discussion of the latest Jump Start, Takuan and Batsu's Daily Demon Diary, what makes a good gag spinoff comedy, the historical and empathetic legacy of Barefoot Gen, and much, much more!

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F makes $3.5 million in its first 2 days in American theaters, Boruto: Naruto the Movie makes $5.5 million in its first 3 days in Japanese theaters, possible English dub for Studio Ghibli film Only Yesterday, Kickstarter for an American reprint of the Barefoot Gen manga about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and a list of all the anime released this week in North America.

Comics have emerged as a key means of interpreting and disseminating controversial and contested histories: Chester Brown’s Louis Riel, Keiji Nakazawa’s Barefoot Gen, Joe Sacco’s Palestine, and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis are just some of the works that take definitive social and political conflict as their topic. Why has historical material become so important for comics art? What unique opportunities does comics allow for critiquing and revising dominant historical narratives? These are the questions our speakers discussed, in relation to their own work and to the comics world in general. Diana Tamblyn is writing a biography of Canadian arms trader and weapons engineer Gerald Bull; Ho Che Anderson authored King, a 3-volume biography of MLK; and Jeet Heer is a historian and a leading comics scholar.

Finally, an actual episode again! Clarissa reviews Suzuka, and Daryl not only recounts his experience at Florida Supercon, but also reviews Barefoot Gen, which is a very important work indeed. Gerald's Otakon report has been split off into a separate file. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.
