Robomiko Episode 04B – Attack of the Flesh-eating Eyebrows

Eryn — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:28:38 +0000

The highly anticipated part B to Robomiko episode 4 has arrived, and hopefully with better editing (I didn’t edit it while half-asleep this time!).

Today’s reviews are…

Eryn’s Review – Anime: Baccano!
Iggy’s Review – Movie: The Forbidden Kingdom

Our Music of the Moment today included the instrumental version of “Guns & Roses” by Paradise Lunch (the opening theme to Baccano!), and “War” by Edwin Starr (WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?!?!). And we have a lot of random plugs this episode, so here they are split up by person:

Iggy’s Plugs: Boy Meets World Karaoke Contest, David Caruso One-Liners, CSI: Jim Carrey, David Caruso School of Acting, StumbleUpon, My Immortal @ Encyclopedia Dramatica
Eryn’s Plugs: Danjo, Baccano! Danjo, Weeeek, Baccano! Weeeek, Caipirinha, Landel’s Damned, Ubiquity, Capoeira Fail

Other random things mentioned this episode:
- Watch Baccano Ep 1 Free on Funimation.com (password: flying pussyfoot)
- Anime Fansub Documentary
- Baccano Opening Things: Original, Gundam 00 Version, Nintama Rantaro Version, D.Gray-man Version (Partial), Prince of Tennis Version, Ookiku Furikabutte Version

Robomiko Episode 04A – I Love Dick (Grayson)

Eryn — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 09:41:24 +0000

A thousand-thousand apologies to all our listeners (yes, all three of you)! As we explain in this brand new half-an-episode-and-yet-still-the-length-of-a-full-episode, the main reasons this has taken so long to come out are 1) Eryn’s work schedule has been bad in terms of compatibility with Iggy’s schedule lately, and 2) Iggy was sick for a while and her voice was in no condition to be heard on the internet. But fear not, for Eryn is in the market for a new job and Iggy is no longer sick, so (hopefully), that means more episodes are on the horizon in the very near future!

The recording for episode 4 went on so long that we had to split it into two parts. The first you can listen to now, and the second will be up in a day or two so that your readers/podcatchers have time to download this part first.

In this half of the episode, it’s all news, news, news, some of which is relatively old. Give us a break: we haven’t podcasted in about two months.

UBER NEWS
- Toonami is Dead
- Stargate: Atlantis Cancelled
- “The Graysons” is Not a Good Idea (Related comic from Shortpacked!)

We hope you’ll be looking forward to Robomiko Episode 04B, in which Eryn will review the anime series Baccano! and Iggy will review the kung-fu movie The Forbidden Kingdom!

Robomiko Episode 03 – Needs More Kevin Conroy

Eryn — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:43:10 +0000

Sorry that this episode of Robomiko is so late, guys. This was entirely my bad. I procrastinated for no good reason. I guess I was tired from work for a while, but that can’t excuse me for two weeks. Also, Iggy tried to help, but was unable due to technical issues on my end. So, don’t blame her for this. I promise that the next episode will be edited much more swiftly.

Anyway, we attempt to switch up the format of the podcast today to see if it works better than our first format! What do you think? Is this better? Should we change it back? Do you have any ideas for a better format? Let us know in our forum at http://robomiko.com/forum.

Robomiko Episode 02 – Underwater Ray Romano

Eryn — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:17:37 +0000

Before you ask: no, this episode of Robomiko has nothing to do with Utawarerumono. This episode has a lot more to do with us being a little bit tired (and thus slightly off our rockers) than anything else.

In today’s Mixed Bag of Segments, we have…
Eryn’s Segment – Geek News: Funimation is Awesome
Iggy’s Segment – Miniview/Shameless Plug: Doctor Who and Torchwood

And for our reviews, we have…

Iggy’s Review – Movie: Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Eryn’s Review – Comic: Mouse Guard: Fall 1152

Our Music of the Moment today was “Håll Om Mig” by Nanne Gronvall (the Princess Tutu AMV featuring this song can be found here, but beware of major spoilers!), and “Crossroads” by Cream. Our other miscellaneous plugs were for the websites Passive-Aggressive Notes and Jeff Russell’s Starship Dimensions. And I suppose we kind of plugged the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo all the way through the show. How ’bout that? Aheheheheh…

Robomiko Episode 01 – Of Ducks and Batmen (and Llamas)

Eryn — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 09:23:57 +0000

Finally, the debut episode of Robomiko appears! Technically it’s still June, too! …Okay, just in Alaska and Hawaii, but still. IT COUNTS.

We’re starting things off a little shaky and disjointed, but hopefully you’ll all forgive us for that. First episodes are always nowhere near as good as later episodes, right?

In today’s Mixed Bag of Segments, we have…
Eryn’s Segment – Cool Internet Stuff: Skeptoid and Here Be Dragons
Iggy’s Segment – Geek News: New info on the upcoming movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

And for our reviews, we have…

Eryn’s Review – Anime: Princess Tutu
Iggy’s Review – Cartoon: Batman Beyond

Our Music of the Moment today was “I’ve Just Seen A Face (Yume no Hito)” by Kuricorder Quartet, and the DuckTales theme by Mark Mueller. Our other miscellaneous plugs were the webcomics Joe Loves Crappy Movies and Awkward Zombie.
