Sure, Battlenerd Gaspastica is returning on January 16, and Lost is back January 21—but F-bomb them! I have a new favorite show—a 25 year old Japanese kids program entitled “Kure Kure Takora,” which loosely translates to “Gimme Gimme Octopus.” See, it’s about this octopus and his friend… I think it’s a gourd or maybe a peanut… and they meet up with a computer who eats garlic, and… OH! I almost forgot about the ghost with a butcher knife, and… ah, screw it. Just watch.
Want more? Yes, you do. GO HERE!
You’re a little late to the party. I was trading Beta tapes of this more than 15 years ago (and it’s been on DVD for at least a year).
Aw damn… can’t unwatch that…
It’s like a kaiju H.R. Pufnstuf.
Somebody’s been reading Boing Boing….
We had that when I worked at Scarecrow Video . . . TEN YEARS AGO!
And the theme song has never left my head since.
Yes, but are any of the characters gay? I’m at a loss. And Jerry Falwell isn’t around any more to tell me. What will I do?
Spoiler: Gaeta is gay. Check out the webisodes!
Plus, who will appear bare-chested if not outright nude this season?!
Sorry, I’d rather go do Laser Karaoke.
I guess this is a good opportunity to post this: Battlestar Galactica as told through Facebook. I especially like that it includes a reference to the revelation mentioned by #7.
God yeah, Kure Kure Takora. A friend of mine had the theme song on his phone answering machine for years. I was always calling up when he wasn’t in just to hear it.
