Mobile Suit Breakdown: the Gundam Podcast

Nina & Thom

About

MSB is a weekly Gundam podcast for new fans, old fans, and not yet fans. Nina (a Gundam first-timer) and Thom (a lifelong Gundam fan) analyze, review, and research all 40-years of the iconic sci-fi anime mega-franchise Mobile Suit Gundam in the order it was made. We research its influences, examine its themes, and discuss how each piece of the Gundam canon fits within the changing context in Japan and the world, from 1979 to today. Part history podcast, part discussion podcast, all Gundam podcast.

10.9: The Kasarelia Stampede

SHOW NOTES This week on Ovine Flock Victory Gunram, the show's real hero finally shows her stuff, Odelo knows how to use one of these, and Cronicle engages in a little recreational deforestation. Plus Shahkti cooks a homecoming stew, Katejina's betrayal leaves Uso stewing, and the mystery of the Kasarelia Kids' parentage continues to simmer, while Nina researches what it might mean for the kids to leave willowherb behind like Uso suggests. Please listen to it!

10.6: A World Gone Mad

SHOW NOTES This week on MSB: we're back with another remarkable episode of Victory dense with big questions: Is war a part of human nature? Is it better to die or to kill? Should we fight for people or for ideals? And if that's not enough, in the research Thom begins to dive into the world of Japanese advertising agencies as we explore their unsung role in anime production. Content warning: this episode of Victory alludes to the threat of sexual violence, which we discuss during the talkback.  Please listen to it!

10.5: A Time and Place to Die

SHOW NOTES This week on Mobile Suit Breakdown: it's the Katejina Show feat. Katejina, in which a young woman with faultless logic shows us what it really means to have a big head. We promise that sentence will make more sense after you listen to the episode. Plus enjoy the second half of Nina's research on women in Japanese society during the first half of the 90s! And a special thank you to everyone who commented on last week's episode. Your additional thoughts about babies, moms, and Tominoisms gave us a lot to think about as we revisited the topic this week!

9.15: Legendary Tale of the Epic Saga (Chapter: the End)

SHOW NOTES This week on Mobile Suit Breakdown: it's the end of this first era of SD Gundam! In lieu of research, we cast our minds back across all the SD shorts that we've [enjoyed|endured] to render a final verdict on it and discuss what we liked about it, which ones we'd recommend, and what it all meant for the Gundam franchise.  Mobile Suit Breakdown http://gundampodcast.com is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe http://delawaretribe.org/ and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center https://thelenapecenter.com/.

9.1: Playing with Guns

SHOW NOTES No break in the MSB action this time around as we dive immediately into Season 9 with research from Nina on 'toy' guns: air guns, BB guns, and especially guns, inspired by Al's friends in War in the Pocket. How does the history of airsoft connect with the development of "real" guns both in Japan and around the world? How is airsoft affected by Japan's notoriously stringent gun-control laws, and what does it really mean to 'play' war games? And could you put your eye out with that thing?
