New Ultra Queue! This week we watched a Hanna-Barbera Ultraman movie, and that's kind of all the explanation you need really. Go listen!

It's a brand new Ultra Queue! This time we're talking about The Men Who Made Ultraman, a tv movie docudrama about Akio Jissoji rebelling against convention to create some of the most iconic episodes of Ultraman. Naturally, we have a lot to discuss

Happy New Year! Why not begin 2026 with our new Skipping the Queue on Ultraman Omega? What's that? Because the show isn't very good? Then you haven't heard the good news. Ultraman Omega decided to be good instead of bad! It's that easy!

A christmas present for you! We watched Ultraman Story and we had thoughts. Somehow. Go listen!

It's the final Turtle Tea Time! We successfully watched all 12 Gamera movies in 12 months, and thankfully ended on a high note!

New Ultra Queue! We finish Andro Melos, which truly doesn't matter. What matters is it's finally time to learn the secrets behind the Land of Light's special relationship with Earth....

New Ultra Queue! This might be the least time we've ever dedicated to the show the podcast is supposed to be about, but don't worry! There's plenty to talk about elsewhere, including blue kongming, gambit from x-men, and the loathsome richard osman. Go listen!

Ultra Queue returns! We've got a few things to cover before we get to Tiga, and the first of those is Andro Melos. How much do we have to say about the show with 5 minute episodes? Less than we'd like, but probably more than you expect. Go listen!

Happy 60th birthday Gamera! Just in time for the big anniversary, we have the conclusion to the Heisei trilogy on this penultimate Turtle Tea Time! shows.acast.com/ultra-queue/...

Golden Kamuy returns! Red watched plenty of westerns, Mel did plenty of research, and Golden Kamuy brought plenty to chew on. Add all this together and you get our biggest podcast by miles. Sorry? You're welcome? idk, it's good though, go listen! shows.acast.com/ultra-queue/...

Don't forget it's Golden Kamuy this week! "But this podcast has to hold me over until the finale, which isn't until january! What if it's just not enough podcast to get me through the hard winter?" I assure you dearest listener, that is the least of your worries.....

As promised, we've got a brand new Skipping the Queue on the latest batch of Ultraman Omega Discussions include: toku cgi, strange pacing, incredibly obvious character arcs, writers deciding to just skip writing, and Yugoslavia (obviously)

Can everyone clap for all the dumb rhymes they had to come up with to keep this bit up for the entire season

HE'S RETURNING TO THE STAR Goodbye Ultraman 80! It's hard to believe it's already over. Come join us for the finale, as tsuburaya runs out of money, and we watch one man carry the whole show to the finish line

87日目 ケムール人 #100日チャレンジ #ウルトラ怪獣 #特撮 #illustration

NO LAMPS, THIS GENIE'S IN A JAR It's a brand new Ultra Queue! The vibe is mild surprise, as we realise there's somehow only one more week of Ultraman 80. We're recording the finale on sunday, so remember to email in and send us your sorters at [email protected]

What are you even saying?

NOT MAD BUT IT'S A REAL LOW BAR They've done it again!!!!! This time the reasons aren't awful, but it's still pretty funny it keeps happening. Want to know why Eri Ishida decided to quit Ultraman? You'll have to listen to find out (I promise it's good).

New Turtle Tea Time! We continue the Heisei trilogy and the quality is unsurprisingly still high. Ft. The Bible and also Hokkaido shows.acast.com/ultra-queue/...

WHAT IF YOU ATE AN RC CAR Ultraman 80 continues to dish out the whippersnappers, from a discount Kanegon to a legendary sumo boy. Plus, the citizens of Tokyo decide a sad child is so embarrassing they laugh at him to his face while his dad pretends he isn't related shows.acast.com/ultra-queue/...

THIS DREADFUL ZOO SCHEME SEEMS SUBPAR Many questions this week. Should Takeshi be less involved in the episode plots? Does this writer's work align with his own purported principles? And how come the Baltans fell off? The only way to know is to listen to our podcast...

As promised, a brand new Skipping the Queue on Ultraman Omega! We reach the halfway mark, and we can only speculate what the future holds. If there is just one thing for certain, it's that we will continue to talk about Gento

HE'S FIGHTING FISH THAT LOOK BIZARRE We have another solid batch of 80. One mid episode, one good episode, and we even get one last incredible episode from Bunpei Ai before he leaves Ultraman forever Go listen!

WHAT COLOUR'S 80? CINNABAR Brad is out this week, but Mel and Red return to Ultraman 80 and find.... a pleasant surprise! A good episode of Ultraman! We also find plenty to talk about afterwards, it's a great episode so go listen!

It's time for more Golden Kamuy! Mel and Red dive into another excellent batch of everyone's favourite historical-comedy-western. We get reunions, we get goodbyes, and we get the cold hard truth: you can return to Hokkaido, but you can't go home again...

New Turtle Tea Time! We've made it to the Heisei era and the trilogy everyone likes. So far so good!

dearest listener, we watched 4 episodes of ultraman for this week's podcast

my life is a lie

A GIANT BIRD CALLS HIM MAMA! New Ultra Queue! 80 is 80, and so we don't feel too bad about how sidetracked we get for this podcast NO ULTRA QUEUE NEXT WEEK. Mel and Red will have a Detour Quarry for you instead. That's right. Lock in. Golden Kamuy's back

Surprise Detour Quarry! Mel and Katherine talk about the 70s shoujo manga Dear Brother, and while they're at it talk about the anime too

THEY CALL HIM OOZINATOR This week we have Nickelodeon Slime, incredibly low expectations for UGM as a woman-friendly workplace, and a classic robot uprising story that runs into familiar pitfalls! shows.acast.com/ultra-queue/...

THIS COP'S FROM ANDROMEDA yeah it only kinda rhymes, get outta here. New Ultra Queue! Mid batch this week, but mid is better than the last couple of weeks. It's quite a low bar. oh hey I can put that one in my rhyme bank!

Morning

TODAY'S EPISODE, UQ117, IS DELAYED UNTIL TOMORROW. sorry about that, just some scheduling annoyances getting in the way of actually editing the thing but that just gives you another day to catch up on our latest episode where we complain a bunch! go listen!

HE BIDS SCHOOL LIFE AU REVOIR New Ultra Queue! Old problems... They've done it again, and we're left to pick up the pieces. Plus Brad's been watching a bunch of movies. Go listen!

We're skipping the queue once again for the next batch of Ultraman Omega! This batch has some highs, a couple of lows, and overall Omega continues to seem alright. Pretty good even! but perhaps some of us still feel a certian way about the protagonist....

New Turtle Tea Time! The last entry of the Showa era is one that by some definitions can described as a movie, and bafflingly is also somehow one of the better ones...

Ultraman 80 is a show about alien-in-disguise Takeshi Yamato, a beloved but eccentric middle school teacher who helps the kids in his class overcome personal hardships both in and outside the classro

HE SNIPES PROTESTORS FROM AFAR tsuburaya productions where is the school. three episodes with no school, nobody even mentions school what is happening. not like this bro. PLEASE not like this. YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE

Ultra Queue had a good run

HE SENT YOUR GIRL BACK TO THE STARS Brad is back! with the empire united we talk about the important topics of the hour, including but not limited to: Arby n the Chief, Down With the Sickness, and Sebulba (again). also ultraman but you knew that

HE'S ROCKING OUT ON HIS GUITAR Takeshi is a man of many talents. He knows guitar, he knows maverick archaeology, but one thing he doesn't know is the hearts of women. Luckily 4 of his most outspoken students are always nearby to tell him when he screws up. All this and more, on this week's podcast!

HE RODE A TRAIN UP TO A STAR It's time for more Ultraman 80! We have our first standout episode this week, but don't forget to stick around for marxist theory, medieval history, and a completely botched attempt to talk about Howl's Moving Castle

As a happy coincidence, tsupro is currently uploading an episode a week of 80 to their youtube channel English subbed (for some regions), so it's actually been really easy to follow along They're at 17 now, so it'll take until...the mid-20s? For the podcast to overtake them

i made this for a podcast intro but i need to post it

Our second Ultraman 80 podcast is recorded and getting edited as we speak. In the meantime, go listen to our first episode on 80, a show with promise! And no Ultraman has ever let us down after a strong start before.........

HE CAME TO US FROM A STAR It's time for Ultraman 80, a brand new show! Turns out he's not 80 guys, which is a shame, but otherwise this is a promising start. We also switched up the format a little to keep you on your toes. Go listen!

our third Golden Kamuy pod we put out yesterday was a good one with a lot of fun moments, but this is one of my (Mel's) fav ones from the bonus history section!

New Detour Quarry! Things come to a head in this especially exciting section of Golden Kamuy before the series veers off in directions we could not have anticipated! Also the history hot pot is beefy this time. shows.acast.com/66195964fe0f...
