One moment we’re saving the kingdom, the next moment we’re the sports ball coach. It’s time for some more bonus content, as we dive deep into the show-in-transition that is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 3.

Guest hosts include Thomas Pandich, Neil Nadelman, and Kara Dennison. CLICK HERE or on the image above to download our review of the show:

Review in a Nutshell: Discussion includes an uber-nerdy argument about free will vs predetermination, the nature of heroes, speculation about where the show is going, reflections on where the show has been, opinions about the visibility of the fanbase, and numerous other topics.

Bonus Content: Four-Person Pony Armageddon

Posted on May 20, 2012 by gooberzilla

We’re being sent back to Magic Kindergarten to take a look at My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 2.

Guest hosts include Clarissa and Gerald from AnimeWorldOrder and celebrity translator Neil Nadelman.  CLICK HERE or on the image above to download our review of the show.

Review in a Nutshell:  We didn’t go as deep or as esoteric this time around, but we did manage to mention the concept of the Doppelganger, Derpy-gate, the highs and lows of the fandom, and why we think the show has managed to remain fresh despite the loss of certain key talents.

Bakshi, Barbarians, and Buffalo Shots

Posted on September 2, 2011 by gooberzilla

Hold onto your broadswords, because Fire and Ice is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Gerald “Badonkadonk” Rathkolb of AnimeWorldOrder.

Review in a Nutshell:  With an uninspiring storyline and an odd visual aesthetic, Fire and Ice skates by on the strengths of Frank Frazetta’s design.  Be warned:  negative stereotypes and gratuitous booty abound.

Bonus Content: Avengers Assemble!

Posted on August 12, 2011 by gooberzilla

Time for some more kiddy cartoons!

CLICK HERE or on the image above to download a bonus episode in which Sean “Hollywood” Hunting and I gush all over Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Review in a Nutshell:  Avengers is one of only a handful of Marvel animated properties that does justice to the source material.  It’s a great animated series that can be enjoyed by children of all ages, with sharp writing and strong characterization.

FINAL THOUGHT:

The theme song is @#$%ing terrible, though.

No Charge for Awesomeness

Posted on December 26, 2010 by gooberzilla

Everybody loves kung fu fighting, and Kung Fu Panda is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  Combining humor, heart, and heroism, Kung Fu Panda is a great kung fu movie with a positive message.  Don’t let the advertising fool you; there’s plenty of action, character development, and hilarity to be found here.

Something Horrible in time for Halloween…

Posted on October 24, 2010 by gooberzilla

 

Gnash your teeth in agony, because Cool World is definitely not the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest cohost Gerald Rathkolb from AnimeWorldOrder.

Review in a Nutshell:  Crippled by a wretched script, bad performances, and a non-stop deluge of animated nonsense, Cool World mutates from an interesting premise into a movie so bad that even its creator has disowned it.  It’s almost enough to make me feel sorry for Bakshi for foisting this kind of film upon the viewers of the world.  Almost.

Logic: 1, Magic: Big Fat Zero

Posted on April 18, 2010 by gooberzilla

Dust off the lances and saddle up your trusty steed, because The Flight of Dragons is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the DVD cover or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest co-host Chad “Winter” Clayton.

Review in a Nutshell:  With a narrative borrowed from several different sources, The Flight of Dragons gets by more on its weird visual aesthetic than on the strength of its story.  This film is another Rankin / Bass related emotional scar on my childhood.

This movie contains:

Evil Dragons.

Scary Wizards.

Everybody Dies.

Woman has Sex with Robot?

Posted on February 28, 2010 by gooberzilla

Strap on your go-go boots and grab your mighty sword, because Heavy Metal is the Greatest Movie EVER?

Click on the poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest cohost Gerald Rathkolb from AnimeWorldOrder.

Review in a Nutshell:  Uneven, over-sexed,  and outright weird in places, Heavy Metal is nonetheless a unique animated experience.  It might be even nerdier than T.R.O.N.

This podcast contains:

Terrible things, man, terrible things.

Sean hates America.

Posted on June 11, 2009 by gooberzilla

It’s all magic fairy dust and pink sparkles here, because The Last Unicorn is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell:  The Last Unicorn is a beautiful and sophisticated children’s film that deals with some surprisingly complex themes.  Perhaps the film’s greatest weakness is the soundtrack, performed by America.

This movie contains:

Pirate Cats.

Unicorns in the Sea Foam.

I don’t care how many ‘bestiality’ jokes Sean makes, I think Lady Amalthea is pretty.

SATAN.

ERRATA:  Mia Farrow was actually in Supergirl not Superman; Peter Beagle is in fact still fighting for his residuals.

A Very Pretty Mess

Posted on May 21, 2009 by gooberzilla

Get ready to wave some hippy crystals, because

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is (definitely not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell:  Technically astonishing but emotionally empty, Final Fantasy may have worked better as a video game rather than a full-length theatrical film.  A weak plot and cliche characters diminish the power of the film’s extraordinary visuals.

COMING SOON!

“Who put this giant cheese grater in my spaceship?”
