Podcasts about Rick Hunter

What's up, dudes? I've got AA and CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night here to talk the remarkably well written Robotech! For a kids show, it tackled some pretty adult themes! There's a love triangle, civilian casualties, and a successful villain mission? What?! It's true! It's Christmas time, and Khyron is out for protoculture! This means he plans to lead a raiding party to take some by force. Meanwhile, Rick Hunter's personal life is thrown into further disarray when his ex Minmei shows up unexpectedly due to her seasonal loneliness. And when his potential (and spoiler alert: eventual) love interest Lisa Hayes catches them in flagrante delicto, things get even more dicey! Khyron subsequently attacks, and while veritech pilots are scrambled, Lisa neglects to contact Rick due to her spurned heart. Overhearing the conflict on the news, Rick rushes to the city's aid. Unfortunately Khyron is sneakily strategic, and plants bombs around the city. It's get the bad guy or save the city time, so there's only one thing to do!There are multiple casualties and injured, but not even a Zentraedi attack can break the Christmas spirit! The faithful gather at a church to sing “Silent Night,” and Rick and Minmei share a meal and a kiss!This Christmas episode is heart-pounding and gut-wrenching! It's also a tribute to the human spirit and the spirit of Christmas! So grab your protoculture, hop into your veritech's cockpit, and fly into this Robotech episode!!Just Another Friday NightFacebook: JAFNPodcastTwitter: @JAFNpodcastInstagram: @JAFNpodcastMerch: jafn Give us a buzz!

Read transcriptIf you've ever dreamed of piloting a transforming jet while sorting through a love triangle and dodging alien laser fire, then without knowing it you've been living in the Robotech: The Macross Saga timeline. Chris dusts off his Game Boy Advance for this one, only to find that the same intergalactic mess has crash-landed again, this time in crisp Switch resolution. Because nothing says “future of gaming” like revisiting a handheld title from an era when batteries were a personality trait. Helping navigate this space-time crossover is DC Dave from The Monitor Tapes, swooping in with the kind of insight only a seasoned comic podcaster can offer. Together, they dissect what happens when '80s anime melodrama meets early 2000s portable gaming. And spoiler alert: there are missiles, misunderstood heroes, and at least one existential crisis per level. And yes, they both have Opinions™ about which version of Rick Hunter handles better. So grab your nearest mecha (or whatever piece of furniture doubles as one), set your thrusters to “nostalgia,” and dive into a world where pixelated warfare meets the stirring strains of synth-pop destiny. Whether you're a die-hard Robotech purist, a Switch newcomer, or just here for DC Dave's hot takes, this episode's got something for every flavor of space soap enthusiast. Learn such things as: What does it takes to make a side-scrolling shooter feel like an interstellar soap opera? How did licensing rights in the '80s created a cosmic headache that still echoes today? When you have giant fighting robots, do you really need to add all of the war allegory? And so much more!

First Things - Rick Hunter (9/28)

Tony Oliver is a Puerto Rican voice actor and voice director. He is best known for voicing Rick Hunter from Robotech, Lancer from Fate/stay night, and Arsène Lupin IIIfrom Lupin the Third. He helped produce the live action shows Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and VR TroopersStranger ThingsAfter a long wait in between seasons, fans finally get a glimpse at what's to come, and the stakes have never been higher. After the cliffhanger Season 4 finale, which had the Upside Down slipping into Hawkins, the final season will be bigger than anything the show has done before. Stranger Things just officially unveiled the first trailer at Netflix's Tudum 2025 event, which can be watched below, also announcing the release date this fall and winter.Stranger Things Season 5 premieres on Nov. 26 for Volume 1, with Volume 2 following shortly on Christmas, and the finale released on New Year'sThe Last of USDespite Season 1's popularity, HBO did not prepare for a quick turnaround for Season 3. The season was confirmed on April 9, 2025, just four days before the sophomore season's April 13 release date, but that early renewal still left little time for the writing and filming process. Production has not yet begun for Season 3, as the seasons were not filmed back-to-back, despite their initial success. The initial expectation was that filming would begin in the summer; however, it will likely be a lengthy production process, and there will be ample post-production work to ensure that the visual effects are of the highest quality. If the schedule follows the same path as season 2, it will be years before Abby and Ellie return to the small screen. Season 2 was announced on January 27, 2023, and production began on February 12, 2024. The year-long delay was substantial, but it was largely due to the industry-wide SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes of 2023. Still, even after filming began in earnest, it took months to conclude, as production only officially ended in August. If Season 3 follows a similar path, filming would not end until December 2025 or early 2026, and that is only if the cast arrives on set in Summer 2025. Isabela Merced (Dina) told Variety that the season may not begin production until 2026. Given that new piece of information, The Last of Us Season 3 is unlikely to debut until late 2026 or even 2027.Walt always hated Goofy and he would've deep-sixed Goofy a long time ago if the studio didn't need to make those movies to give ‘make work' to so many of the animators. Boy, he hated Goofy.Keeping this in mind, it's easy to suggest that Walt Disney felt that Goofy was bringing down the tone of the studio. While his stupidity was entertaining to young audiences, it didn't highlight the real work that was going on in the company. But as the company continued to expand and hire more animators, it seemed that Walt needed to give them something to do while their superiors were working on the money-making projects. Overall, while fans will never truly know how Walt Disney felt about Goofy, Gaber's claims about the character offering "make-work" do fit the narrative.

The time is late, but also the time is nigh! For Macrossrobotech! The energy for this energy is actually surprisingly electric I think it's a lot of fun, maybe we should try recording way too late at night every single time? In this episode, I go to bat for Rick Hunter, Manny goes to bat against any audience member that would choose Robotech Minmei's singing voice, and I'm we're (mostly me) are really mean to Kiss for some reason. Sorry if you like Kiss I'm sure they're okay. Gene Simmons is truly insufferable that's for sure though. Anyway yeah great ep. You should all look up Uri Geller too he's a fun guy for spoon bending and all that. Glad he's settled his Nintendo beef now.

It's a great episode to listen to 3.14 times!    There are many ways to celebrate Pi Day on March 14. Whether you make a nice round birthday cake for Albert Einstein or share all kinds of round food with your friends, we think you'll have fun watching 80's TV shows about Private Investigators. Join us for a circular show of Magnum proportions on Enjoy Stuff!   News Get ready for Easter candy and breakfast fusion with the new Rice Krispies and Apple Jacks treats And if that's not enough sweet morning candy for you, try the Dunkin' Iced Coffee Jelly Beans The Muppets' Electric Mayhem is getting their very own series on Disney+ There is an ‘I Am Legend' sequel being worked on with Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan The Quantum Leap reboot keeps getting new cast members. Raymond Lee will be the lead What we're Enjoying Jay is getting ready for Easter by exploring a variety of rabbit holes. One is Michael J Fox movies. Early movies like Midnight Madness and Teen Wolf make for a fun revisit of the actor's origins. Shua was surprised to enjoy The Batman as much as he did. It was an interesting take on the Dark Knight with a detective story and a surprising message of hope by the end.     Enjoy TV! What is Pi? A delicious dessert? A mathematical constant? Well, yeah. But to recognize this year's March 14, with different kinds of P.I.s; private investigators of the 80's.    Magnum PI pushed Tom Selleck to the top of fame when he starred as Thomas Magnum, private investigator staying in the mansion of Robin Masters and tormenting the butler, Higgins. All this while solving crimes while driving around in a fancy car.    1984's Riptide starred Perry King as Cody Allen and solved mysteries with his friends Nick and Boz, while driving around in a fancy car.    Simon and Simon were two brothers who, while opposite in a lot of ways, were great at solving mysteries and driving around in a variety of fancy cars.    Hardcastle and McCormick premiered in 1983 and starred the legendary Brian Keith as Judge Hardcastle who is trying to catch a bunch of criminals who escaped conviction with the help of a car thief named McCormick, who drives around in a stolen fancy car.    Hunter set the stage for overly-macho guys who carry big guns, but sometimes have a female partner. Rick Hunter and his partner DeeDee McCall help to save Los Angeles, but don't always have the luxury of a fancy car.    Spenser for Hire showed us that the great Robert Urich as Spenser, saving the day in Boston with his reliable and not yet Star Trekified Avery Brooks, while driving around in a fancy Mustang car.    And this just scratches the surface. In our head cannon, they were all connected and worked for Angela Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher.    What else can you do on Pi Day? How about some Pi-kus? Or maybe have a Pi-arty? Serve some Pi-themed food like Pi-napple or Pi-stachios. Whatever you do, have 3.14 times the fun on this fun Monday! Are you celebrating Pi Day? Do you have a crime that needs investigating? Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to podcast@enjoystuff.com
