Today on Torture Cinema, Paul, Alex, and Daniel review the (not so) particularly beloved 1980s fantasy musical, Xanadu! The film also has the distinction of being Gene Kelly’s last picture, so nobody can be too mad at it. If you love camp and ELO (Paul and Alex will fight you on this), then you too might truly love this movie. If you don’t, then you just might have a few things in common with at least some of our hosts. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Anime Review: Gakuen Babysitters!
“Those who have left us won’t be coming back anymore but it’s not like we are alone in this world, so don’t think you have to stick it out on your own.” — Morinomiya Youko When Ryuuichi and his baby brother Kotaro lost their parents suddenly to a plane crash while on holiday, the brothers are left wondering how they will survive from now on with no other relatives take them in. But with the help of the Morinomiya Academy’s Chairwoman, the brothers now have another chance to grow up and live a stable life — that is under one condition… Ryuuichi must join the academy’s babysitting club and takes care of the faculty’s children. And there begins the journey of two brothers and the many people they will meet through this babysitting club. This anime is the perfect slice of life and heartwarming show for anyone who is interested in a light anime. Although I must warn you, you might need a tissue box by your side every now and then because I sure as hell did use up quite a bit of them.

Righteous Kicks #1 – Introductions
https://media.blubrry.com/skiffyandfanty/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/archive.org/download/SandFRighteousKicksE1/SandF–Righteous_Kicks–E1.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Android | iHeartRadio | Podchaser | Podcast Index | Email | TuneIn | Deezer | RSSWelcome to the first episode of Righteous Kicks — the podcast where two science fiction writers geek out about men in spandex bodysuits who kick evildoers to death in abandoned quarries until they explode. Here, we plan to ramble at length about the good, the bad, and the absolutely silly parts of the Japanese science fiction television franchise, Kamen Rider. Hopefully, we’ll introduce you to a series you’ll love to watch. For our introductory episode, Iori Kusano and Brandon O’Brien give a brief overview of Kamen Rider‘s beginnings, their introductions to the franchise, their favourite elements of the series they’ve seen so far, and what they look forward to discussing in future episodes. Next episode: we dive into the first 16 episodes of Kamen Rider Drive, the only Rider who gets a car instead of a motorcycle. He gets a lot of cars, in fact. Sports cars that talk. Toy cars that fight. Technically, his suit is a car… it’s wild. Be Transformed, and Stay Righteous!
