Sorry folks there are no more blockbusters now, this one took all the blocks. Well, when when we decided to podcast about monsters we created a monster podcast. Clocking in with 2 hours and change, the OSMcast returns with a rousing episode dedicated to Guillermo del Toro’s love letter all things giant, monster, and robot, the movie Pacific Rim. We also talk about comments and emails and things! BUT NOT ONLY THAT, we also dig into Shin Megami Tensei IV, Shadowrun Returns, Free!!, The Eccentric Family, and more. And by more we mean Overdrift, which will make more sense at the end than at the beginning. So strap in and get ready to drift into some OSMcast~ OSMnotes SO GO SEE THIS MOVIE ALREADY OKAY thanks a bunch folks. As we said, Basil and Kevin will be at Otakon maybe we shall see you there! But at any rate, please feel free to send us comments, and emails, Facebook us, or whatever correspondence you like to send our way. We always appreciate it.
