Comments
Wow, I'm listening to this way late and blindly commenting, cool. Film rights and securing them is sorta my actual job so hit me up if you REALLY want the rights to Robot Jox. Probably cursed but hey...

2024-11-11 04:26:35 +0000 UTCWhoa whoa wait, are we talking TV rights, home video rights, or theatrical rights? Generally separate things. Also; theatrical for old bad movies tends to be the cheap one. Go big is cheap so GO BIG!

2024-11-11 04:22:49 +0000 UTCCmon! Theres also Hiromu Arakawa who ah... came up with Shou Tucker...

2024-10-20 19:15:42 +0000 UTCI will say that we did try to American Gundam. Battletech had it's own cartoon for a hot second. Mechwarrior was more a video game property, but it was out there. Then there was Exo Squad. Also, Robotech. Not trying to call anyone out for a lack of knowledge, more of a "they've tried. It just never caught on as big as Gundam."

2024-10-20 18:20:47 +0000 UTCI will gladly fund any campaign to buy the rights to this movie

2024-10-18 07:48:04 +0000 UTCI keep switching between binding of Issac and dead cells. I'm a simple man.

2024-10-17 22:36:54 +0000 UTCHow dare you make fun of this classic 😁 . I watched this multiple times in the late 80s/early 90s as part of a collection of low budget/badly written and acted films I regularly rented from my local independent video shop. I even own a vhs copy which I think is ex-rental. (Also - I do own a copy of Ice Pirates). Better than anything Prime & Netflix are pushing out nowadays.

2024-10-17 13:01:19 +0000 UTCIf video games are eligible for being on LLBR, then Kojima's I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Gunam series Zone of the Enders would be a good pick, it's exactly as Kojima as you'd want, including literal cock-pits. If video games aren't on the table, there's also a Zone of the Enders OVA and a 26-episode anime, both of which are presented in crisp 2001-era crustovision.

2024-10-17 12:24:14 +0000 UTCCan you say a podcast has gone off the rails if it was never on them? This was great stuff. Put up that Patreon goal!

2024-10-17 01:11:22 +0000 UTCSquatting in the vacant intellectual property of the late 1980s is the kind of legal chicanery I can get behind. Quick, someone call Leonard French
Mutual Aid Miniatures
2024-10-16 23:51:28 +0000 UTCIt is an incredibly difficult game too. I love that you can just fucking tip over from stupidity and that if you want music you need to spend money on a boom box. I'd buy it again but I'm more interested in a Battletech Firestorm cabinet.
Mutual Aid Miniatures
2024-10-16 22:37:41 +0000 UTCSon of a bitch put the MGS2 sons of liberty demo on the disc. Such a smart move, like for real. I never would have tried the game if it wasn't for that.
david reid
2024-10-16 22:30:33 +0000 UTCI worked for Game Crazy when this game came out. Only way we could sell it was if we had it on display. Full controller everything. THE GAME HAD A BUTTON FOR YOUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS. Such a forgotten about gem that game. I always wanted to play ikuruga using that controller.

2024-10-16 22:28:04 +0000 UTCDoes Zone of the Enders count as a Gundam?
david reid
2024-10-16 22:25:23 +0000 UTCDidn’t Joe Haldeman write the screenplay for this ?
S.O. Khan
2024-10-16 20:23:28 +0000 UTCThe under siege episode might be the drunkest episode joe has released

2024-10-16 17:12:04 +0000 UTCKojima did make a gundum, aside from the metal gears (metals gear?), Zone of the Enders is a mech game that came out in the early 2000s.
David Schuller
2024-10-16 16:31:51 +0000 UTCNot even kidding—if you get a script and an artist I’ll publish a Robot Jox comic book.
Frank Fucile
2024-10-16 15:59:32 +0000 UTCIce Pirates is a legitimately good comedy.

2024-10-16 13:58:44 +0000 UTCBamco Nandai would send Heihachi and a Souls boss as the sicarios

Lions Led By Donkeys Podcast
2024-10-16 11:46:00 +0000 UTCOh no, I've been listening long enough for them to do a movie a second time.
Mighty Slim Pickings
2024-10-16 11:14:03 +0000 UTCI have seen both Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death and Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama. Sorority babes is more in the "porn without porn" genre, Cannibal Women...honestly I kinda liked but Maher is the worst part
