The Unreliable Sources Podcast is brought to you by a group of friends that may not know a whole lot about something, but are still very passionate about it.

 

We'll cover a broad range of topics with a rotating cast of hosts. Generally, we'll talk about nerdier things, but everything is open and eventually we'll get to all of it.

 

So, if you don't like what we're talking about this in one episode, check back for the next and it will be completely different.

 

Hopefully you'll enjoy what you hear, have a few laughs, and maybe even learn a thing or two - even if we are completely unreliable.

Fair warning, this episode is filled with spoilers. You’ve been warned.

Well, since we blew two whole episodes (mecha and kaiju) talking about what you needed to know before you see Pacific Rim, we figured we might as well spend a even longer third episode telling you what we thought of it.

So, that’s exactly what we did.

Along the way we stumble through a Saved by the Bell cold open, Shawn nearly ends Zach’s marriage, we probably spend a bit too long describing the sound kaiju would make getting it on with various other things, and Captain America’s booty is used as a rating system.

Pacific Rim Part Two – Mecha!

In the lead up to the premiere of PACIFIC RIM, the team here at the Unreliable Sources Podcast has taken it upon ourselves to build you a helpful primer as to the major themes of that movie. Those being: kaiju and mecha.

We dealt with the former part of that pair last week, and this week we’re tackling the biggest and smashiest robots in all of mecha.

In this episode we discuss the proper tactics to avoid a rocket punch, declare Mechani-Kong to be the derpiest mecha of them all, name Crotch Gate as the worst name for a future political scandal, and hope that no one ever makes a mecha gnome.

EDIT:

Oh no! I realized I told you I would post the Robot Jox gifs and totally forgot. So, consider this me making good.

 

 ROBOT JOX!

It has brilliant acting and visionary directing.

Oh, and let’s not forget the robotic chainsaw penis.

CRASH AND BURN!
