Episode 135 – Spring Preview

jojos

First things first, where was last week’s episode? Well it’s still here on my hard drive and there it shall remain for now. It has been deemed unsuitable for human ears. Not for any technical aspect, but for content. So traumatising was that episode that it laid Anthony low with a terrible illness and he couldn’t make it to our Spring Preview.

A call went out across the internet, who could join Brian and Bradley to look back over the Winter season, look forward to the Spring season and play a game of KIDS or CREEPS? One voice answered that call, the man they call SCAMP from THECARTDRIVER.COM

Oh, and there’s an important podcast announcement hidden inside this episode too. ENJOY.

 

Episode 130 – Hunter × Hunter Phantom Rouge

Anthony takes control, and invites Niall Flanagan of Secret of the Sailor Madness to talk the 2013 Hunter × Hunter movie, Phantom Rouge. Was it worth the wait? How does it compare to the series and other recent Shonen Jump movies? Find out on a new episode of DITB.

Plus: Anthony turns quizmaster and tests Brian and Niall’s knowledge of pop culture hunters.

 

Episode 129 – Penguindrum Part 2

Sometimes podcasts don’t quite go the way you planned. Ebbie AKA Bizarrejelly5 joins us today for one such podcast, as talk about the second Penguindrum Box Set (covering episodes 13-24) turns into talk about the process of watching anime for the podcast. Specifically Anthony’s process…

Beck continues as our Weekly Retro Recap and we play a game of “Animals Must Be Cast As Leads”.

So pay attention and keep careful notes, as you listen to another episode of Dynamite in the Brain!

Episode 128 – Anime Villain Poker

Anime Villain Poker

List podcasts! We’ve all heard them, and some of us have even recorded them. But taking our cue from the cruelly shuttered Treehouse, we are now adding the spice of competition to our list shows, beginning with Villains. Brian, Anthony and guests Bradley C Meek and Elliot Page have each created a list of anime villains and will battle it out to see whose list is the most diabolical.

Plus, WATCHUWATCH is introduced with an especially strained pun and our Weekly Retro Recap is episode 1 of Beck Mongolian Chop Squad.

 

Episode 127 – One Piece Film Z

T0013923p

 

Bradley C. Meek and Dwayne Moloney join us to ostensibly talk about the 2012 One Piece movie, Film Z. However, Anthony has lots of questions about One Piece, and so it ends up more of a general One Piece discussion.

Plus all the usual features: WATCHUWATCH, Major Episode 2 is our Weekly Retro Recap and a game! This week it’s ANIME ALPHABET.

NB: There’s a few connection problems with Bradley late in the episode due to his housemate watching things on Netflix, but they are mostly confined to the game section.
