This Week:
Mike sacrificed Otakon and travels with Ron “Soulcrash” Ladao to the first year of the ScrewAttack Gaming Convention in Dallas, Texas! At least, that was the original plan. Because of a lack of proper format, the audio Mike recorded at the con is all over the map, resulting in something of an extended montage….

All the same, included are highlights from the Nolan Bushnell Keynote Address, a short look at the Jack Thompson Debate, guest appearances by Larry Oji and DJ Pretzel from OC Remix and the ScrewAttack Crew, a live rendition of “The Mario”, and the aftermath of Mike’s attempt at the Iron Man of Gaming Challenge! What it lacks in cohesion, it makes up for with awesomeness! Maybe.

Check out the show notes for a complete Timestamp list!

TIMESTAMP LIST:

06:04 – Introductions w/ Stuttering Craig, Destin, Corey, Jose, and Chad
09:08 – Aftermath w/ OC Remix
14:02 – Mike at the Iron Man of Gaming
15:37 – Angry Video Game Nerd Panel Highlights
22:12 – Nolan Bushnell Keynote Address Highlights
33:50 – Jack Thompson Debate Highlights

PRODUCTION NOTES:
-Continuity: The audio was recorded over the course of the Fourth of July weekend, July 3rd-5th, 2009.

-I know, some of the highlights are barely audible. Blame my mic for not having the best range ever and Main Programming for having crap acoustics. If you want to check out the full Jack Thompson debate and keynote address, head on over to ScrewAttack.com. Tell ‘em we sent you!

-Yes, we really did end up at the Route 66 Motel. Here are some pics for proof….

For more, check out my Picasa album!

-Lastly, I resurrected “FREE FREE” for our opening theme. Why? Because it’s my personal favorite and our 4th anniversary is quickly approaching!

OP THEME: “FREE FREE” – Ami Suzuki
ED THEME: “Galactic Railway” – Sunbrain

BGM LIST:
“Theme From Paris” – James Pants
“Theme from The Police Story” – Jackie Chan
“Iena Sequence” – Robert Pregadio

Conversations With Will has hit 10 episodes?! According to certain podcast historians, this is the epic point of no return for our heroes! As they recover from the madness that is Anime Central, the two of them reminisce about Tokusatsu Hell: The Revenge, organizational clusterfucks, the epic return of Battletech, Mike’s picks for the Top 5 Cosplayers of ACen 2009, and why Will will never do an episode in Japan.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
-This Episode was recorded on May 11th, 2009 while in the dwindling moments of ACen, hence our being burned out.

-The Samurai Ale comment was a reference to Episode 9’s titular subject matter. If anybody actually wants to mail us a bottle, be our guest and email us for details.

-If you wish to submit Toku Hell suggestions, drop me a line at r5centralATgmailDOTcom. Make the necessary substitutions but also bear in mind the following:

• Two-Year Rule – If it’s from a recent show (i.e Shinkenger/Decade/Rescue Fire), I will wait a year and a half to two years before inserting it into the lineup. It defeats the purpose of watching the showcase if it consists of stuff you’ve seen already.
• Inability to Upload – Due to copyright goodness, I can’t upload most of the repertoire to Youtube. If you want to see the show, try to make it out to the cons, otherwise I’ll see about uploading it somewhere if you kids are good ^_~

-Finally, to see more pics from ACen, check out Mike’s album on Picasa.

OP THEME: “Cobra”
ED THEME: “Thanks for the Memories” – Fall Out Boy

In the wake of Dragonball Evolution, Mike teams up with the crew over at Daizenshuu EX to bring you a Dragonball-themed episode! In addition to musings on said film and the rise of Dragonball Kai, they offer up their picks on Five Dragonball Movies That DON’T Suck!

PRODUCTION NOTES:
-The segments with VegettoEX and Meri were recorded on April 7th with the Interludes featuring Mike and Sylene were recorded April 23rd. Would have been out sooner but….yeah ^^

-I know! Kiva/Decade episode should have been next! I’m actually holding off on that due to a format rework as a special guest may be entering the fray!

-Totally flubbed the DaizEX website url! Check out the link below.

-Not totally happy with my audio quality this episode….when am I ever really? Noise reduction sounded a bit wonky. Also, my mic was apparently hitting the Team DaiEX track really hard for some reason, hence the occasional echo. Tried to edit most of it out to the best of my ability so hopefully you won’t have noticed it until just now….when I told you it was there >_>

This Week:
Will and Mike emerge from the ether for another late-night episode. This time, the two of them try to wrap their heads around the sudden awesomeness of Power Rangers RPM, why Superman can’t have sex, and Will’s new calling as the savior of the karaoke bar.

PRODUCTION NOTES
-This was recorded March 7th, 2009 and was intended to be released on Friday, March 13th but got held up for varying reasons. Release date is reset accordingly to help me sleep at night.

-“LET’S SAY GO!”:  For the unaware, that was a sham of a reference to the catchphrase of Star Saber, the leader of the Autobots/Cybertron forces in Transfomers: Victory.

His catchphrase is “Let’s say go!”, possibly a pun on “Let’s seigō” (整合), meaning “Let’s coordinate/integrate.”

I’ll really be impressed if anybody in the audience actually caught that before reading this.

-Shinkenger
-Kamen Rider Decade
-Power Rangers RPM vs Dragon Knight
-Japanese Spider-Man on Marvel.com

Series 5 of R5 Central kicks off with one of the biggest events to date! Mike recently had the opportunity to interview the one and only Hikaru Utada. As she gears up to release her new album, the two of them chat about her feelings about the making of the album, future plans, and other tidbits that you’ll find interesting…hopefully ^^

PRODUCTION NOTES:
-The interview with Utada was recorded January 29th with the “in-studio” bridge segments recorded a few weeks later. Also, yay! I can do graphics again!

-New to the show? Check out the FAQ.

-“…Though I can’t say that because Mark might be listening”: Last series, we had the opportunity to talk to Mark Musashi who is apparently listening to the show now….and is probably reading this too…..OSHI-

-I did have to re-record my “Time is up” comment due to it not coming out all that well in the recording, hence the slight jump in quality.

-For a transcript of the interview, be sure to hit up the Otaku USA Magazine website! A shorter version may be appearing in a forthcoming issue!

-Will the Tetris challenge still happen? It’s anybody’s guess at this point. Stay tuned!

-Finally, please don’t re-upload this interview without my permission. While I’m flattered that somebody went through all the trouble to put the teaser on Youtube, I kinda wish they had asked to begin with.

This past Saturday, Mike and Will started 2009 off on the right foot (as opposed to the left foot) by recording the first episode of Conversations With Will for the new year! In this episode, they talk about new Rider-itis, why The Spirit DOESN’T suck, and how our President-Elect has captured the hero of 24. Yeah, I didn’t believe it either but hey, we talk about it!

PRODUCTION NOTES:

-Original recorded on Saturday, January 10th, 2009.

-No I did not mean to offend anybody with the political bit, that’s why I always try to steer clear of the topic in the first place -_-

-The contest I mentioned is for real. Send us your graphics/best title cards and the best one will be used for the 2009 series of “Conversations With Will!”

A bit late for Halloween thanks to the famed technical difficulties (but here for you nonetheless) is this year’s foray into the R5 Central Audio Grindhouse! Instead of doing all the trailers back to back this year, I figured I’d release them one after the other to allow for quicker release onto the net. This year promises to be the most risque and craziest yet with three new fake movie trailers for your listening pleasure, all of them most definitely Not Safe For Work. Be afraid.

This Time ‘Round: “JIG: The Walking Arsenal”, a non-stop 80’s styled actionsploitation extravaganza…with a blaxploitation twist!

PRODUCTION NOTES:
-This should have been out sooner but Christmas and deadline madness got in the way. I love my life ^^;

-There was originally supposed to be a third mini trailer for “Gothic Thunderbolt” but due to time, I figured I’d opt out for now.

-And once again, no graphic for this one because my Mac with Photoshop CS on it is still out of commission. I should probably start a “Get Mike A New Mac” fund >.>

This Time ‘Round: Revenge! Scarlet Kunoichi! The story of one Amish woman’s chance at redemption for her infidelities…IN BLOOD!

PRODUCTION NOTES:
-Originally meant for a Halloween release, this has to be one of the craziest ideas I’ve had yet.

-If you didn’t pick up on it, throughout the short there are references to both The Scarlet Letter and The Crucible, made all the better with lesbian ninjas.

-And yes, Anna’s speech at the end is indeed a throwback to Sonny Chiba’s speech in The Bodyguard…

….which was then referenced by Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction…

The irony here? That whole Bible verse doesn’t exist save for one sentence. Either way, I couldn’t resist an homage.

The second bonus installment of the R5 Central Otakon coverage. This time around, we’ve got quotes from DaizyStripper and MarBell. Both bands had the honor of playing at the Hide Memorial Summit but alas, Mike couldn’t swing interviews. To fill the void, here’s a nice little mash up with quotes from Saturday’s Q and A session with some of the best tracks from both bands.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
-Yes, this ep is out of order and belated. Blame tech problems and a whole bunch of spyware.

-To clarify, the bands had a concert on Sunday but the quotes are from a “Sunday Concert Bands Q&A”.

-Lastly, the name for the episode comes from two sources; DaizyStripper’s “Dandelion” and MarBell’s “Te no Naru Kata e”.

In this, the first bonus installment of the very frigging belated long-awaited R5 Central Otakon 2008 coverage, Mike along with the Podcaster Elite get a chance to sit down with mega-group JAM Project. Hilarity and awesomeness ensue as Mike, Tyler (from Rangercast), Daryl and Gerald (From AWO) bombard the group with all sorts of inquiries, including Kageyama Hironobu’s feelings on MD Geist. That’s right, Daryl went there.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
-Yes, this is very late and I’m releasing out of order. It’s something I’ll fix when Episode 55 hits. Also, Windows sucks for being hit so hard with spyware so easily >_<

For some reason, the upload for Episode 54 became the Ultraviolet review from The Greatest Movie Ever! podcast. Even after taking out the other mp3 link, it still registers as that episode on iTunes. As such, here’s a re-uploaded Episode 54.

Original Summary – To make up for the lack of actual coverage and content in this year’s Anime Central coverage, Mike takes it upon himself to call upon the destructive cinematic reviewing force of nature that is Paul Chapman, better known as the All-Mighty Goobezilla and host of The Greatest Movie EVER! podcast. The goal, nay, the dream: To dish out a short but sweet review of The Machine Girl, the Tokyo Shock original that Mike unleashed on The Freakin’ Suite at ACen.

PRODUCTION NOTES: (Taken from first upload)
-This was originally going to be a bonus episode but it turned out so well that it was bumped up to proper episode status It works out double so as, seeing as how Wizard World didn’t fall on the anniversary date this year, Otakon will be taking its spot, maintaining the tradition of each anniversary episode in the double numbers (22 being the first year anniversary episode at Wizard World and 44 being the second year).

-Thanks again to Paul for doing this review on such short notice! Here’s hoping we can do a proper GME! tag-team after Otakon.

-The Peter Fernandez audio clip and reference are from the New Line dub of Return of the Street Fighter, starring Sonny Chiba.

-In case you are interested, they’re going to be showing Tokyo Gore Police at Otakon on Saturday night. Yep, I’m going to have to go.

The first time he appeared on the show, the sheer awesomeness that Mark Musashi (Cutie Honey THE LIVE, GARO, Sh15uya) emitted interfered with Keith’s iPod mic, rendering it unable to finish the interview that they had started at the Dragon Knight wrap party. Now, thanks to the wonders of Skype, Mark Musashi returns for a second interview, ready to give all sorts of interesting behind-the-scenes anecdotes, along with some things you probably didn’t know about the guy in the first place!

In this portion: Behind the scenes stories from Cutie Honey THE LIVE (including the genesis of everybody’s favorite line!), talk of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, and a possible hint at the next installment of the Kamen Rider THE FIRST saga!

There are two goofs:
1.) The cutoff on the No Pink Spandex Promo wasn’t intentional. More like a rather messed up editing snafu. Sorry Lisa ^^
2.) The bit of dead air at the end. Forgot to cut that out. I’d do a remix but it took me three hours to get this episode online…

-Thanks again to Keith for helping secure the interview in the first place!
