Long-time readers of the site will know that I was, to put it very mildly, pleasantly surprised by the first two Madoka Magica films. As someone who hadn't seen the anime but had had it recommended and praised to high heaven, it was gratifying to see a story as lauded as this that actually lived up to a lot of the hype. It might not be Evangelion or Cowboy Bebop , but dammit it if isn't still one hell of a great film. That was a great enough experience for me on its own. But then I found out there was a sequel. That had been released earlier in Japan. And was coming out here. In English. In 2015. If there was a thermometer for measuring how excited a guy can get, it would've burst its mercury at this point.

READ, WATCH, PLAY! EPISODE THREE: NOT YOUR BIGGEST FAN

Image
After an unrestrained love-fest for Mad Max: Fury road last episode, this episode sees a return to the mixed bag approach as Stu, Billy and myself have a good ol' gab. Seriously, it's quite the gab fest. We talk everything from Spiderverse to why Tommorowland isn't doing so well at the box office to the (apparently) booming drag queen industry.  Plus we have yet another give away (at this point it's becoming a habit we can't kick). Be sure to be listening carefully to find out how you could win a double pass to Oz Comicon Melbourne .
