This episode we discuss All The Anime's release of the Cyber City Oedo 808 Blu-ray. A lot of the extras included in the box are aimed at fans in PAL territories who enjoyed Rory McFarlaine's soundtrack, which was not included in the US version, which retained the original soundtrack.
We also discuss the recent trailer of Godzilla VS King Kong; of which Hong Kong features prominently. Regan is a hardcore Kaiju fan and weighs in. Of course, in real life, if Godzilla and King Kong did make their way to Hong Kong, they would be absolutely annihilated upon arrival by the mightiest of them all: The Mighty Peking Man.
Want to feel just like the Mighty Peking Man? (And let's be honest: who doesn't?) Buy some awesome retro models of Hong Kong! Dane spotted these whilst enabling his friend's bus toy addiction.
Listener Feedback
Dane gets a question regarding fansubs which is a great time to once again plug, Bubby-Subs!
We also get a great message from longtime listener (and former podcaster) Jake regarding modern anime.

We seldom delve into much of the latest stuff, but here are some fantastic (relatively) recent Anime:
Review: Hoshi Neko Full House (Starcat Full House)
This delightful anime tackles the age old question: Can a Dave Coulier-free Full House work? Plato reportedly died from the sheer mental taxation this question inflicted upon him.
Directed by anime legend, Noboru Ishiguro, Starcat Full House is a delightful, charming, entertaining 80's science fiction musical.
That's right: musical; aside from directing and screenplay duties, Ishiguro also wrote the lyrics for the songs sung throughout the show. Performed by LISP; an idol group (reputedly) formed specifically for this OVA series, who also voice the three main female characters. This remains their only voice acting roles.
