The name says it all, really.

With summer comes summer movies. Comic book movies. We tend to like both these things so we have a podcast for people who like comic book movies. In particular this go-around, Kick -Ass!

PROMO: Anime82! Host, mad-man, genius Regan Strongblood had a dream. He would talk about anime, and then get a bunch of other podcasters to talk about anime on his same show. The results, they are substantial.

OSMnotes

Speaking of the Anime82 podcast, the last third of the OMEGA-MECHA-THON-2000 should be posted soon, and will have Basil, Kevin, and Lee blabbing on about Mazinkaiser. Pretty good stuff!

And in OSMcast news, June is filled with ACTION-PACKED PANEL EXCITEMENT. DJ EXCITEMENT. We are going to two cons. Same month. MADNESS. HamaCon, and Seishun-Con.

No really. They're terrible at math.

Here on the OSMcast, we thought what better way to celebrate Memorial Day than to remember all those wonderful, brilliant thoughts and dreams that were snuffed out so many years ago when we all thought Episode One was going to be good. That’s right, we are talking about the movie Fanboys.

It’s a (totally not true) story about some dudes that were so hyped to see a rough cut of The Phantom Menace that they road tripped to the Skywalker Ranch to steal it. This story ends up being way better than the movie they wanted to steal.

Promo: The Greatest Movie EVER!We’ve reviewed two live action movies and not pimped the good Mr. Chapman’s podcast. Well this has now been fixed. He talks a lot about movies. In a podcast format. It’s pretty great. You should probably listen to it.

OSMnotes

So you may ask yourself, “Where can I find this Fanboys movie? I’m curious to watch it now. lol!” You can most likely find it online  for either DVD or even Blu-ray, if you really want to!

A glimpse of the chaos that is when you pit Plants against Zombies.

But truly, do you want to order something like this online?What you should do, is make an event of it! Gather your friends! Take a trip to go get it. In fact, don’t go to your local Wal-mart or Target, head over to the town next over! Have some madcap adventures while you’re at it. Trust me, it will be more fun that way.

If nothing else, this movie truly shows one that the trip is worth more than the destination.

And this is when I pimp the contest:

Send us an email at osmcast@gmail.com and tell us what you thought about the new Dragonball Evolution live action film.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon GAAAAH WHY IS THIS GAME'S TITLE SO LOOOONGGG

Perhaps you liked it! Or mayhap you hated it with a passion of a thousand suns. It could even be you are somewhere in between. Hell it can even be about the PSP game. No matter what the opinion is, we want to hear about it. To sweeten the pot, we are giving away two Dragonball Evolution posters. One is for our favorite email, and the second will be an email picked at random. Once you get said poster, do with it whatever you desire. Put it on your ball, or burn it in effigy! We don’t care!

Also, talk to us via the OSMline aka 206-202-0071 , and you may obtain the freakiest homemade Sackboy head EVER. Just sayin’.

Star Trekkin' across the universe...

It’s taken a few movies this year to get to it, but we finally got it. A really good geek film. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? It’s called Star Trek, and it’s the topic of this week’s episode of the OSMcast!

Promo: Black Flower Music! We met this wonderful individual at the podcast panel at MTAC this year, as he was the guy running the panel. It turns out his podcast also went to the OSM School of Fine Podcasting, in that his subject matter (like rock and roll) is not held back by gender or nationalities. Or you know, once specific genre of media. Check them out!

OSMnotes

It’s out in theaters so if somehow you haven’t seen it yet go do so! The podcast will still be here when you get back.

But speaking of geek films, we have a contest about something that wasn’t so hot:

Send us an email at osmcast@gmail.com and tell us what you thought about the new Dragonball Evolution live action film. Perhaps you liked it! Or mayhap you hated it with a passion of a thousand suns. It could even be you are somewhere in between. Hell it can even be about the PSP game. No matter what the opnion is, we want to hear about it.

Once you get said poster, do with it whatever you desire. Put it on your ball, or burn it in effegy! We don’t care!

More like Street Fighter: The Legend of CRAP-Li HUR HUR HUR

A coworker asked me over this past week: “So what happened to the Survivor Horror in Resident Evil 5?”

I told him: “It’s now called sitting through Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.”

I know this, because I have sat through this movie.

This episode is pretty much just a PSA to the world that no one ever should go see Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.EVER. But you all probably knew that. We went to go make sure, because sometimes you have to stand, even when it’s hard to stand.

And now our horrors have been shared and brought to you.

Please do not go see this film. Do not rent this film. This isn’t a bad-good. This is just poor. Do not say that we did not warn you.

Also, we have a forum now. Please go post in it!

Everyone is CAH-RAZY over those zany robots!

Because we just weren’t done talking about hot chicks blowing up robots, we decided to continue forth with our opinions on Mamoru Oshii’s movie adaptaion of the Masamune Shirow classic, Ghost in the Shell!

Spoiler: We lied! The movie is actually about basset hounds.

OSMnotes

One of the pluses on reviewing a hallmark of Japanese animation, especially as one so uh, digital as Ghost in the Shell, is that you can find the DVD for it pretty cheap. I mean, like $12.04 and $12.14 with free shipping cheap. Or if you have a really banging 6.1, 7.1, or Whatever is the Lastest Greater than 5.1 Surround Sound System then I suppose you could pony up the extra 10-20 bucks to grab the special edition that’s floating around. Of course, chances are that if you an afford such a sound system, you can afford the extra money for the DVD.

Apperently "tensai" means "genius." ... Yeah.

Ol’ Robert Pelloni (aka Bob) is still hard at work living locked up in his room as protest to Nintendo for not getting to him the tools he needs to move his project (the eventually DS game “Bob’s Game”) into the realm of retailability. Good luck Bob! After I’ve started playing Chrono Trigger on the DS, I’ve realized I need more RPGs that look and play like they should on the SNES in my life. And yours looks like an SNES-era Enix knockoff, so I have hope!

Robotrek is awesome and Bob should be inspiried to even greater... greatness by these pixels. I know I am.

I’m serious here, unheard of Enix games like Soul Blazer and Robotrek are the best. Okay, so most all the Quintet-developed games pre-Grandstream Saga are the best, but still! I loved those games and your (Bob’s) game reminds me off them. I only worry that much like many other projects that started with much fanfare and the devleoper shooting his mouth off on how the great his game is only for the games to crash and burn, yours will not stand the test of time. I hope you can prove my worries are for naught!

As long as, you know…

Nintendo calls you back and stuff.

Shop smart... shop S-Mart!

Kicking reason to the curb once more we take on a terribly terrific trilogy of movie-ocity with Sam Raimi’s and Bruce Campbell’s epic cults classics, The Evil Dead, The Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness.

Oh, and the musical. You can blame Eric for that one though!

OSMnotes

Right now Best Buy has all three movies on sale for $6.99 a pop!

• The Evil Dead
• The Evil Dead II
• Army of Darkness

So you shouldn’t keep yourself away from these films any longer. Unless you’re scared. Of awesome. Best Buy also has the musical for $14.99, but you can also get it at the same price from Amazon.

You know you want one.

Speaking of good ol’ Amazon.com, you could also pre-order the KORG DS-10 Synthesizer! If you ever wanted to make beats on the go, I don’t think you can go very wrong here guys. I mean if it’s good enough for Yasunori Mitsuda, it’s good enough for all of us.

I wish I could also tell you all the reserve the Ghostbusters game but who knows when the game will even be out. Though man, Bill Murray is looking kinda old. But that still doesn’t stop him from asking the relevant questions.

Though sadly he may have received his relevant answer…

Who you gonna call?

Also, don’t forget that in a few weeks (Halloween weekend in fact) we’ll be at CrisisCon in Huntsville, Alabama! When the panel will be… I’m not sure. Hopefully they’ll get back to us soon enough so we can post about it and talk about in our next episode.

Also we’ll be kicking back the very next weekend (November 7th – 9th)  at Nekocon, in glorious Hampton, Virginia! We don’t have any panels or anything planned there, but we’ll be sure to crash something.

And as always, you are more than welcome to let us know you, dear listeners, exist!

I uh, guess that works!

There are many ways you can let us know this! You could…

• Leave us a comment in this very post!
• Call us at the OSMline (206) 202-0071, and if you ask us a question, we’ll answer it for you in the following OSMcast!
• Or just send us an email at osmcast@gmail.com!

It really is that easy!

OSMnotes

We actually recorded this a week or two ago, so the Wold of OSM news is kinda old, but it’s all still vitally important, at least as far you should go buy Bangai-O Spirits RIGHT NOW.

What’s actually important is that we’re back and we’ll be now updating on Mondays, not Fridays. And we should have it set for next Monday as well, where Lee and I talk about Cromartie High School.

Be prepared!

Seriously guys, that tarot deck is pretty terrible. But don’t take my word for it! Check it out for yourself with this handy-dandy so very Not Work Safe link that shows the entire deck. And where you can order it from, if you know, naked dirty hippies are your thing. They say they’ve sold over 15,000 of them, so I’m guessing they can’t all be horrible accidents like our experience was. So yeah Stevee we bought your deck, and we came away unimpressed.

Oh, and that Indiana Jones flick. It was so totally a movie. Yeah.

And as always please comment, email us, let us know you exist. I know someone out there is downloading this stuff… somewhere!

OSMnotes

Also in case you hadn’t notice, Inubito thought the remix of the Speed Racer theme was so awesome, he included all of it. Be forewarned! Or not! However this does end creating our longest podcast ever. But anyway, seriously guys, there were parts of this movie that were more awesome than Iron Man. Really. Not kidding! Though I guess overall Iron Man is the better movie, it’s already made tons of money so go spend it on Speed Racer instead!

Next week we’ll hopefully if schedules allow be covering the new Narnia film, and possibly something else a little more… metal. Till then! Email us at osmcast@REMOVECAPSgmail.com, or just throw us some comments at the bottom of this post.

If you want more info on Mach Go Go Go / Speed Racer, check out these articles from scifijapan.com. It’s got some really cool stuff inside!
