We discuss, analyze, deconstruct, and reconstruct each episode of the series.
Three writers embark on a valiant adventure: an episode-by-episode recap of the landmark 2009 anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (which one of them has never seen before). It'll be a journey filled with drama, laughter, action, monsters, and at least a few philosophical questions (logo by Camilla Franklin).
Veteran comics podcaster Tim and monster theorist Patrick go chapter-by-chapter through one of the best manga series of the 21st century: Hiromu Arakawa's "Fullmetal Alchemist"! UGWUP4!
Teachings that do not speak of pain have no meaning, because humankind cannot gain something without first giving something in return. In alchemy, to obtain something, something of equal value must be lost—this is equivalent exchange. Join hosts Ellen, Kassem, and Kayla as we read through Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa chapter by chapter, exploring every twist, turn, explosion, transmutation-gone-awry, and moment of connection (and hubris) the series has to offer. Fans old and new wil ...
Fullmetal Bazinga is a watch-along podcast for the final season of The Big Bang Theory. It is also an improvised audio drama, a meditation on fiction, and a real show for humans and other sentient creatures. All of this is brought to you by the hosts of Left Trigger Right Trigger. If you're a new listener, we recommend starting from the beginning or from episode four ("The Tam Turbulence"). Note: we are currently on a break between seasons.
In search of the Philosopher’s Stone, we follow brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric on their quest to restore their bodies trying to resurrect their deceased mother with their alchemy skills. Join us on our FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST AFTER SHOW as we recap their trials and challenges they face. Tune in here for reviews, recaps and in-depth discussions of the latest episodes, as well as the insider scoop from cast and crew members on the show.
