The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 92: Unico in the Island of Magic

Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description easier & check out links for this episode!

Happy Spooky Season! This month, just in time for Halloween, I'm talking all about the cute and slightly terrifying Children's Horror anime film, Unico in the Island of Magic! And to join me to talk all about this kinda creepy classic based on the work of legendary Osamu Tezuka is Gigi from the Dub Talk Podcast! Listen as we discuss how Unico might have traumatized us a bit as kids, why we think the dub of it is so good, and why we think this is a great unconventional viewing choice for the Halloween season, even if you're not normally a fan of scary stuff! But don't worry, we don't just focus on the spooky stuff--there's plenty of fun to be had, too, as this episode also includes: Yoshiaki Kawajiri talk, our frustrations on lack of cute Unico merch in America, and poorly done voice impressions! Trick or Treat!!

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 83: ReView: Nutcracker Fantasy

Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description easier & check out links for this episode!

This month’s episode is another ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time’s gone by. The holidays are finally over, but it’s never too late to look back on a classic Rankin & Bass style movie, right? This month, the podcast’s first episode on a stop-motion animated feature film: Sanrio’s star-studded fairy tale that’s only VERY loosely related to the original Nutcracker story, Nutcracker Fantasy! (Did I mention there’s a singing Christopher Lee in it? Well, there’s a singing Christopher Lee in it!)

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast ep 10

A short, ReView episode this time around! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) title for episodes where I go back and watch an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that time’s gone by and I’m a little older.
This time of an 80s Sanrio film I rented on VHS probably a million times as a kid, called The Sea Prince & The Fire Child. And since I was already sort of on the topic of well-loved VHS titles, I threw in a mini review of new VHS documentary Rewind This!
