Show notes

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. Now for our headliner this evening, you've seen him in clubs across the Mitene Union, please give a warm Chimera Ant welcome to Bronk Shiltins!!!!

Ok here's a joke for you: what's the only thing worse than falling into a debt trap and being caught for 1 month in a state of enforced zetsu? Being caught for 1 month in a state of enforced zetsu on the day the Chimera Ant King is born! No but seriously folks it's great to be here at the ant fortress. I took this gig because I'd do anything to get ahead, now I'd do anything just to keep it! Boy that king sure has a short temper, huh? And that's not the only short thing about h--

BONUS: Media Club Plus watches Dragon Ball - Part 1 - Episodes 83-85, 93+94 Oct 02, 2024

Show notes

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay but Media Club Plus 28 will be out next week, on 10/08/24. In lieu of proper ep I have in exchange this hearty Bonus. We've also got part 2 of our DBZ bonus coming on 10/15/24

In this episode we discuss 5 episodes: the first 3 episodes of the Tien Shinhan arc, as well episodes 11 and 12 of that arc. Some lists will call these episodes 83-85, 93, 94. I'm sorry that it's slightly confusing. These episodes are sometimes called season 4 and sometimes called season 7. I believe season 7 is more "official". To help, the episode titles are "Which Way to Papaya Island?" , "Rivals and Arrivals", "Preliminary Peril", "Tien Shinhan vs. Jackie Chun" and "Stepping Down"

Indoor Ant/Outdoor Ant - Hunter x Hunter ep. 86-88: Media Club Plus S01E27 Sep 18, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us.

Sometimes a hunter has to kill. In Hunter x Hunter sometimes a hunter has to kill for love. Sometimes that's heroic, and sometimes that's scary. I guess it's more about who you kill, and how mean you seem while doing it. Luckily our friends Gon and Killua don't seem very mean at all. And neither do their new assassin adversaries, which is also lucky. Palm on the other hand, Palm Siberia, she's scary. Scarier even than the full suite of Chimera Ant Royal Guards, now fully splatted out from their egg things.

As always we are brought to you by Friends at the Table. This season, we're watching 2011's Hunter x Hunter, based on the manga by Yoshihiro Togashi. In this episode we cover episodes 86-88, titled Promise x and x Reunion, Duel x and x Escape, and Rock Paper Scissors x and x Weakness. Next episode we'll be covering episodes 89-92, titled Compassion x And x Strength, Slow x and x Cursed, The Strong x and x The Weak, and One Wish x And x Two Promises.

It's A Punch Party - Hunter x Hunter ep. 83-85: Media Club Plus S01E26 Sep 03, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. Kite, Gon and Killua are deep into the NGL now, and everything is going extremely well. So why does Kite feel sick? Why can't he stop worrying? It feels like there's something he's forgetting and while he does his best to care for his two new companions, it won't be long before he finds out what's waiting for them when they reach their destination. Fortunately, as Kite ventures deeper into the Ant forest and the Squadron Leaders start to figure out what Nen is, and how they can use it, Chairman Netero and two impressive new hunters are on their way.

How Are You And I Different? - Hunter x Hunter ep. 79-82: Media Club Plus S01E25 Aug 21, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. In these episodes, Kite brings Gon and Killua deeper into the NGL, as the ants rapidly construct a very familiar kind of society. Schisms within the officer class of ants leave Colt, the senior Squadron Leader, to try and pick up the pieces. After one of Kite's worst case scenarios come true, and the Ants have taken and eaten the NGL's underworld society led by King Gyro, another (unexpected) worst case scenario hits when Gon lands a nearly fatal blow on Rammot, one of the Ants' most bloodthirsty soldiers.

What Is A Chimera Ant? - Hunter x Hunter ep. 76-78: Media Club Plus S01E24 Aug 07, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. Austin joins us for this episode where, at the same time as we learn what a Chimera Ant is, we learn about how devistating they can be if left unchecked. After meeting up with Kite, Gon and Killua are working with him and his team to track down the location of a new, potentially very dangerous, Chimera Ant Queen. Unfortunately she's taken up residence in a politically and geographically isolated island: the perfect breeding ground for the ants to grow and spread. Oh yeah, and they talk.

In this episode we cover episodes 76-78, Reuinion x And x Understanding, Unease x and x Sighting, and Very x Rapid x Reproduction.
