Up a Paddle - Episode 55 - Scary Tales

In this episode I go over the announcements at Anime Expo, discuss the relative hotness of Disney Princesses, and play a segment recorded back on Easter.  I also review Enchanted and Monster, because this is the Monster/Fairy Tales episodes.

Here's the time codes if you want to skip ahead.  I know I would:

0:00 Intro
0:35 The News
American Death Note Movie In Development. 
It will be interesting to see how this turns out.  Will it end up crap like other crappy J-Horror to American Horror movies?  We'll have to wait and see.

More rumblings about Arrested Development movie.
We need an Arrested Development movie.  Come on! 

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time: The Movie: The Game
There are layers upon layers here I can't even begin to comprehend.

Capcom vs Tatsunoko
This looks like it will be an awesome game.  Heck, even Morrigan from Darkstalkers has updated graphics.  That hasn't happened for at least 13 years.  Also there's the Gold Lightan Love

Sporn (NSFW)
This is why we can't have nice things, Internets.  Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg.  Can you imagine what these deviants and onanists are cooking up next.  I shudder to think of it.

This monstrousity causes me to shudder as well:
Pedobear video

What has 4chan wrought?

Since that was disturbing, I thought I'd bring back teh actual sexy here with Wii Fit Girlfriend

It's almost hypnotic

Now, on to Anime News: 
Geneon is back ... Kind of
ADV is also getting titles distributed by Funimation
Funimation News

Funimation sure is making out like a bandit in all of this.  Must be all of that Fullmetal Alchemist and Dragon Ball Z money that they have lying around.

ADV News
I'm not dead yet!

Bandai Visual, now part of Bandai Entertainment
Bandai News
I was really hoping that Bandai would have learned from Bandai Visual's failed marketing tactics, but I guess they aren't going to.

Imaginasian News
On the other hand, this was a business model I wish would have worked.  Order a dvd and it's made for you. 

That's it for news

11:45 Email, Awesome
Just like the movies

First off I read an email from Maestro Davinci.

19:15 Little Brother Challenge
Admittedly, not the best challenge so far.  I should have sprung for the large eggs.

29:40 Disney Princess Poll.  It's coming down finally.  Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. 

35:49 Promoish sort of thing - I Luv the 80's.  And I do.  Hopefully after this, I'm not banned from listening to the podcast. 

38:13 Review - Enchanted

41:45 Review - Monster

Yeah, this episode kinda got away from me, in terms of quality and coherence, but at least it's over.  Until the next recording, anyway.   Bwuah ha ha!

Thanks for listening!

Up a Paddle - Special - Winging it

In this special, I catch up with what's been happening with me lately.  I've been working, studying, traveling, and being sick.  Fun.  Anyhoo, I did get to New York and I talk about it in the special.  Also, I start a series of game reviews.

This episode is a bit different than what I normally do.  I'm without a script on this one.  I hope it is coherent.  If this experiment goes well, I might try doing it more often in order to get back on some sort of a schedule.

Don't worry, episode 55 is still on the way.  In the meantime, here's the flickr photos I was talking about:

This episode I review Virtua Fighter: The Anime and Iron Man.  

Email Awesome:
In this segment I talk about my April Fools day episode and why Cloverfield, although a great movie, has unlikable protagonists (unless you consider the monster the protagonist, in which case he is just cuddly).

Virtua Fighter
Wikipedia's Entry For this Show

This is a great show and you guys should really check it out.  I have a feeling I forgot to talk about the fighting in this show in my review.  It was glorious.  The moves looked realistic and it was quite enjoyable to watch.
Here's what the show looks like:

Also, here's the Mortal Kombat vs DC Trailer

Reminder
Next episode: Episode 55 - the two year anniversary.  Booyah.  Please, someone send in a feedback.  Something to validate UAP's existence (and by extension, my own).  Maybe a email to upapaddle@gmail.com.  Maybe a comment at the blog (http://upapaddle.com). You know, you go guy, congrats, something like that.

* I'm really looking forward to Eeeper's new project, Capricorn Theatre (http://capricorntheater.com) where he reviews movies from the best decade ever, the 80s.  And for the record, it's not the best decade because it was the one in which I was born.  No, it's the best because that's when Smurfs: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle was released.
