SuperTangent: The Pop Culture Podcast for All Of Us
Phase 5 of the MCU is getting better with its second entry, the long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy 3, which keeps the humor of the first two films intact while expanding the heart and aggressively drawing out the tears. Star-Lord and Drax maintain the same beats, while Nebula shines as the film's MVP and possibly the MCU's finest example of character development since its inception in 2008, but Gamora goes on a completely different and exciting path as a Ravager, showcasing a family full of old and new tricks that ultimate go on a mission to protect Rocket, who's past we finally get a...

SuperTangent: The Pop Culture Podcast for All Of Us
On April 7th--today--my favorite anime, and one of the greatest dramas in Japanese history, Mobile Suit Gundam (1979). Although most Americans wouldn't get to enjoy and appreciate Gundam until around the time the franchise was celebratring its 20th anniversary as one of the most widely revered, influential, and iconic giant robot animes, largely in part Cartoon Network's March 2000 debut of the mega-hit Gundam Wing (which ironically always premiered in Japan on April 7th, 1995), Gundam is now 44 years old. Let's talk about my favorite anime ever that in part inspired the likes of Macross,...

064: The Future of Video Game Consoles
SuperTangent: The Pop Culture Podcast for All Of Us
Video game consoles have been an insanely huge part of my life and childhood, and the evolution of home consoles from generation to generation have presented a plethora of ideas and mechanisms we now consider staples, easily taken for granted. With the emergence of always-on DRM gaming and disc-less home consoles, the future of home consoles will soon be at the mercy of other companies in the same niche, but rather its one true rival: the gaming computer.

062: MCU Redemption: The True Purpose of Phase Four
SuperTangent: The Pop Culture Podcast for All Of Us
The MCU's Phase Four has been considered to be stand-alone, interim, weaker material for fans to have to suffer through before Marvel finally fully recovers from the Covid-theater crisis and get die-hands back to the movies. I strongly disagree, and I think I've discovered the true purpose of Phase Four: to redeem the characters that were dirty in the past. I have a hunch that Marvel Studios will continue this trend into Phase Five.

SuperTangent: The Pop Culture Podcast for All Of Us
I'm only here to brag today about the most beautiful Emulator for a video game console I've ever used. It's called REDREAM. And it perfectly allows its users to go back to the early 2000's and play all the classics of the sixth generation of home console gaming that current generations owes it's very existence too.
