   Season 5, Ep. 4: Akira (1988)

   The Poppycock crew covers their first anime with the 1988 cyberpunk action thriller (horror?) film "Akira." This highly influential movie was chosen by KC as their pick for this spooky season, and what a choice it was! Today's installment features some really good discussion points, interesting anecdotes, and loads of laughs as usual; but would anime newbies Ed and Trevor happily hop on the anime bandwagon as swiftly as Kaneda hops on his tricked out motorcycle in "Akira?" You'll just have to slide Akira-style into this episode and listen to find out, enjoy! 00:02:34 Anime Inexperience Disclaimer 00:05:20 Reel Basic Facts 00:09:33 Horror Sized Hole of an Elephant in the Room 00:12:30 So Stranger Things Ripped Off Akira? 00:15:01 Subs vs Dubs 00:18:57 Classic Case of Lost in Translation 00:20:47 One Minute Sponsorship = Tru-Connection 00:24:47 Akira Influenced the International Olympic Committee? 00:41:41 KC Keeps Choosing K-9 Snuff Films 00:45:45 How Exactly Does Tetsuo Obtain his Power? 00:51:44 F*ckers are Nasty, Just Ask aubrey (drake) 01:00:07 Creamy/Milky Hallucinations Influenced a Kanye Album Cover? 01:18:48 Akira Influenced Happy Gilmore too? 01:27:58 Appreciation for Akira's Visual Flair 01:31:39 Poppycock Round-Up 01:42:37 Poppycock Love for International Horror Films 01:52:29 What's on Tap Next?

   Season 5, Ep. 3: Revenge of the Nerds

   NEEERRRDDDS!!! Reel Poppycock heads off to campus on this week's episode covering the 1984 raunchy college comedy "Revenge of the Nerds." We certainly don't hold back on how this film has aged like spoiled milk, especially regarding consent. It shouldn't have to be said, but as always: CONSENT IS KING! The underdog story embedded in RotN helped pave the way for a friendlier embrace of nerd culture over the years. Whether that includes comic books, cosplay, conventions, Dungeons & Dragons, film focused podcasts or whatever your pleasure, the insult of "NEEERRRDDDS" just doesn't cut as deep as it did when this flick was released 40 plus years ago. Lots of laughs, insight, analysis, and fun to be found in this episode, enjoy! 00:02:00 DISCLAIMER 00:04:18 Reel Basic Facts 00:05:21 RotN Cinematographer Connection to Charles Manson 00:09:35 Brief History of Raunchy College Comedies 00:13:02 One Minute Sponsorship = Tru-Connection 00:15:35 Poppycock (non-pop) Quiz 00:24:24 Let's Go to College Shall We 00:33:39 Ed's Dog Ray Live from the Kumite 00:39:55 Meet the Nerds 00:46:00 Ed teaches KC & Trevor about Greek Life 00:58:30 RotN has a Ridiculous Soundtrack 01:08:27 Timeline of the Tri-Lam's Housewarming Party 01:19:14 Different Pigs at other Tri-Lam Chapter's Parties 01:25:46 KC's Chemistry Corner 01:37:25 Were the Rho Rho Rho Bros Getting Blown? 01:42:33 Coach John Goodman puts a Tough 'W-H' on Whipped 01:48:10 Poppycock Round-Up 01:55:00 What's Next on Tap?

   Season 5, Ep. 2: Chicago

   Forget it, babe. It's Chi-Town. We here at Reel Poppycock may love to loathe the musical genre, but the 2002 masterpiece "Chicago" is not most musicals. Boasting an all-star cast that performed their own singing and dancing, there are many reasons why host Ed considers "Chicago" the best musical ever, but would hosts KC and Trevor agree with his assessment? You'll find out in this fun new episode, which also features random outbursts of song, trivia tidbits galore, and laughter aplenty. So pop on your dancing shoes, get all riled up on some jazz and liquor, and enjoy, cheers! 00:01:02 Ed Doesn't Give a Damn What Y'all Got To Say, "Chicago" is the best musical ever made 00:03:39 Reel Basic Facts 00:13:47 Real World Context of City of Chicago in the 1920's 00:16:10 Poppycock (non-pop) Quiz 00:22:39 One Minute Sponsorship = Tru-Connection 00:25:11 "All That Jazz" Lingo = What Does Rouge-ing One's Knees Mean? 00:37:55 Who You Callin' A Queen? 00:41:10 Deep Dive on "Cell Block Tango" 00:51:30 Men Are Bastards / Call Out Your Bros 01:00:48 Velma's Creamy Thighs Can't Be Missed 01:19:06 Stomp Him in the Nuts, Stomp Him in the Nuts 01:34:10 Roxie's Solo Audition is a Disaster 01:37:57 Boom, It's Chicago Baby 01:40:54 Poppycock Round-Up 01:49:17 What Next On Tap?
