Episode 22 "How Lupin The III Stole Christmas"

Merry Christmas, or Xmas or XXXmas (wink wink) if Santa ain't the only one sliding if you nomtalkinbout . 

We start this pod off in a very merry mood because our Ninja Black surprised us with early gifts that we open on air. (Thank Black) 

A few minutes In Starman aka Yuki, aka Tamaki Black gives a musically studded review of Lupin the III Part V (Lupin the 3rd in Paris)  review. Big RIP and Shout out goes to legendary illustrator, artist, and creator of Lupin The III, Monkey Punch aka Kazuhiko Kato, who we, unfortunately, lost back in April of this year. Thank you for everything and just like your character Lupin you’ve managed to steal so many hearts with your imagination and vision, you will be missed. 

@(00:24:21) Black keeps giving and gives a rundown on some great brew provided by supplied by Makyo Metal, Wicked Weed Brewing Co. Passion Fruit lychee Burst. 

Makyo also tells the tale of his recent journey to FYE and tells us of some of the bountiful harvest of geek items for purchase at a highly inflated price. At the end of this segment, we deliver some Moon Knight news. 

(00:39:00) in a recent interview Indian Actor, Kumail Nanjiani revealed his superhero body and boy is he ripped! We take a few moments to speculate what it would be like to have Disney and Marvels' best resources to reach our maximum physical potential. We also somehow drift towards a conversation about Michel B Jordan (Shout out) and other Black celebrities who are low key Anime and Gamer fans. 

(00:49:00) “Quit Prohibiting ME Mayne….” Unexpectedly a Mane of few words stops by and vents about some of the troubles of bounty hunting and what life's been like since he rescued the package. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you The Manedalorian. Not to be confused with Disney’s Mandalorian . 

(01:07:00) 

On December 12, 2019, The Video Game awards  Formerly the Spike Video Game Awards took place in Los Angeles California. Makyo Metal gives us a brief rundown of all the winners and contenders. 

With this airing taking place a little over a week after the ceremony, we here at the Ninja Please Podcast would like to wish a warm Congratulations to all the winners and nominees. 

(01:28:03) Tis The Season and while many find the lights, trees, ornaments and Christmas music to be an inspiration to do good deeds, some don’t need any motivation other than doing the right thing. Black opens up about a very personal, near-tragic yet still traumatic event that befell his family one year prior. Later in this segment, we ask ourselves “Does it still feel like Christmas?” 

(01:33:41) RIP Stan Lee, With Stan Lee’s Birthday approaching (DEC 28) we would like to take this time to send our thoughts, prayers and wishes to his family and all of the other fans like us. This segment may be the most troubling because regardless of his intention and the intention and ideas of many writers like Stan, Comics and Superhero tales are never far from scrutiny and the ever-present “Hate” that their success seems to bring. Terry Gilliam famed director of “Fear and Loathing Las Vegas”, decided to spit a little superhero hate, but ended up barfing up a very racist bit of egg nog. This is why he is our first ever DEEP OF THE WEEK.

(01:45:32) Bob Iger recently opened up in an interview about the drunken plead he received from Tom Holland.  Universal is trying to purchase the rights of Lego movie from Warner Brothers. 

Starman also delivers a PSA to all parents “Monitor the Cartoons your children watch”. Oh and Stephen King’s Carrie is getting the FX limited series treatment.
