804. Everybody wants to be The Aristocats (review)!


 This is a favorite Disney movie of mine, since I do remember the last time I saw it, which happened to be about 40 years ago...

The Aristocats trailer (1970)


 Since I have already reviewed Son of Frankenstein a few years ago, I won't be doing it on the podcast.

Ultraman Mebius 13-16- Samurai Showdown!

These are also four very good episodes, and we get a cameo by a classic Ultraman!

Panda and the Magic Serpent

 

This is the English dubbed version of White Snake Enchantress, a Chinese tale as old as time.

Villain of the Week- Nazō (Golden Bat)

 

From the Villains Wiki- Dr. Erich Nazo (Zero) is a cruel, evil German scientist who causes a great deal of danger to the most of these around him. He has no tolerance for failure and shows little to no sympathy to his army when they fail him and is quick to lose his temper, going so far as to blasting them with his laser eyes, although the one he shows sympathy towards the most is his assistant Gorgo and never killed him (who pleads to spare him multiple times).

Not only is he super cold-hearted, he also has absolutely no regards to human life and don't hesitate to kill children. Showing no signs of value for anyone but himself; he is also narcissistic and proud of what he is and in-line with his scientific genius, he sees himself superior towards everyone and belittles his minions and sees everyone who works with him as absolutely nothing but tools to help him conquer the world. 

Happy 6th Birthday, Kaida Trillian!

This lovable little goofball turns six today, and like all the other cats in my life, she is unique.  I also love her very much.

801. The Primevals, at last! (review)

Was this worth the wait... mostly.

X Ray Spex- Oh Bondage! Up Yours!

Here's a band I heard in about 84 from a tape I received from a pen pal.  One of the few people I ever corresponded with via personals in CREEM magazine, I think.

800. Speed Racer 35-39, featuring Speedzan!

There are only thirteen episodes left after these five!  What a ride (hah!) it has been!
