Dad Needs To Talk

I saw the movie 100 meters which is from the same creator as Orb on the Movements of the Earth (Uoto). If you have that competitive spirit or were a former athlete, this movie is a must watch.

Life has been very chaotic lately and I honestly just need to talk into this podcast void. Early part of the show is talking through the chaos and some things that have helped me to keep going. Later in the show I dive into the Fantastic 4 movie and some new manga like Almark, Tree of Life and other things.

After 5 years Kaiju No 8 manga has come to an end. With 129 chapters across 16 volumes it has been a up and down journey. I wanted to talk through my thoughts on the series as a whole from start to the final chapter. Obviously SPOILERS so enjoy.______________________________Follow meMy website: https://dadneedstotalk.com/Blue Sky: dadneedstotalk2.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/DadNeedsToTalkInstagram: https://www.instagram...

It has been a very strange last 7 days. Recent losses, close calls in other situations have taken its toll on me mentally. I start the show talking through some things. Then I use some recent movies I saw to help shape a conversation about us as a person at our core. I hope you can take something from this episode.

This episode I dive into first impressions of volume 1 for both Cosmos and Rai Rai Rai. I knew little about both going in and was surprised they both dealt with Sci-Fi and Alien themes but in very different situations.
