Stuff #36: Anime Destiny

suberunker — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 04:23:45 +0000

We just talk about our old Anime Club's history and the stories that we hopefully haven't shared before. It's really Cal Animage Alpha history, but also somewhat in relation to the club's on-campus convention/meetup called Anime Destiny. Enjoy the stories as we pretty much naturally had this conversation without much layout or staging the show.
Find out more about Anime Destiny here.

Stuff & Suggestions #25: There’s Nothing There

suberunker — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 05:29:27 +0000

Just a quick Mailbag segment before a party. We get through some new listener email, discuss a few quick topics, and think back to the first time we did the show.

School

suberunker — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 06:15:31 +0000

Back to school! Well, kind of. It's back to school for some of us, and that means it's time to discuss a near-universal event that happens to everyone: school years. We go through a brief discussion of our school lives, what we did, our favorite classes, our favorite years, and some new stories that were even new to our own hosts. By the way, we get *VERY* sidetracked about 15 minutes in. So, please excuse the very strange moments of stupidity.

Stuff & Suggestions #23: Hug Pillow Marriage

suberunker — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:01:56 +0000

We take a look at our favorite John Hughes movies before diving into the mailbag this week. We also have a quick discussion on reality television, Dom explains his love for his villainy, Kevin explains his feelings about the Futurama movies, and we explain the mystique of Miho.

Studio Ghibli

suberunker — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 03:23:37 +0000

We pushed this topic up in anticipation of the US release of Ponyo, the new film from Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. We reflect on our first times being exposed to the works of Studio Ghibli as well as take a look at our current view of the studio that may not be performing on the same level as it did in the earlier years. Please enjoy and do note that Dom may be spoiling some items in Ponyo, but they are likely not items that will ruin the film for you.

Staffing Stuff: An Anime Expo Special

suberunker — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 05:39:46 +0000

While Kevin works on post-production of the Simon Belmont episode (heavy noise to minimize), here's a bonus episode that Dom recorded with some of the S-Words crew while staffing Anime Expo. He even bothered to keep them up past bedtime for this one so they might be a bit sleepy. In fact, let's just say this episode is on Staffing.

Summer Vacation

suberunker — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 08:10:11 +0000

This week we go to a topic that many of our listeners can relate to: Summer Vacation. Grounded as a United States school tradition, each one of us take a look back at our youth and rediscover some stories and personal moments that were a part of the many summer vacations. This one steps a bit back on the popular culture, though the concept does tie into many elements of popular culture (ie. Summer Movie season, Amusement parks, television reruns). So just have a cold beverage and sit back for a more personal episode with the S-Words podcast.

Stuff & Suggestions #12: Hands Off

suberunker — Thu, 07 May 2009 03:54:25 +0000

This week the stuff segment takes a look at our top 3 Geekiest Moments (that we're willing to reveal). We also go into our impromptu Australia contest and pick our winner. Also, Dom recalls his Jeopardy experience. Soung managed to get his art published (sorta). Chris relives his Tool concert glory days. And Kevin tells two stories that somehow tie into Target.

Suzumiya Haruhi

suberunker — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 04:18:38 +0000

(Note: This was Dom's first attempt at recording since Kevin was out this week, so the sound quality is muddy. We hope you excuse the noise in exchange for the highly-request topic that was delivered). This week is a surprise? Since Kevin was going to be out, we decided Dom might wanna try the highly-request Suzumiya Haruhi topic. So there you go. We will return next week with the Jason Statham topic as originally planned for this week.
