    Part II, Ep. 1: "Lupin the Third's Gallant Appearance" (or "The Return of Lupin the 3rd")

    We've finally made it to Lupin's second TV outing. Arguably the most iconic series in the entire franchise. However, we aren't covering all 155 episodes. Did you see how long it took us to review Part I? We came up with a very fun solution, though. With the help of our listeners, we've chosen a wide selection of episodes that we feel best represents the wild variety that Part II has to offer. Join Drew, Emma, Chris, Natalie, and Guillaume, as they dive into The Top 50(ish) Episodes of Lupin III: Part II (according to the hosts and listeners of Sideburns & Cigarettes) with the series' first episode, "The Gallant Return of Lupin the Third" or ("The Return of Lupin the 3rd").

We're currently in limbo between Parts I and II with a review of Strange Psychokinetic Strategy on the way. In the interim, our co-host Emma came up with a wonderful idea. Between every mainline anime series, we'll be focusing on all five members of the Lupin Gang. Chosen at random, we'll discuss how we feel about these thieving rascals (and one dogged, long-suffering inspector). We'll break down what we love about them, what we'd like to see more of, some favorite key moments, our personal headcanons, and much more! For our first episode in this very special series, we're shining the spotlight on our favorite modern-day samurai, Goemon Ishikawa!

    The Great Lupin Movie/Special/OVA Tournament!

    On April 26th, 2025, we hosted an epic battle on our Discord server. 46 movies, TV specials, and OVAs were pitted against each other with randomly generated battle brackets. Only one would emerge as the victor in THE GREAT LUPIN MOVIE/SPECIAL/OVA TOURNAMENT! We had an incredibly fun time hosting this stream with many of our listeners in attendance. Whether you're listening for the first time or reliving the historic competition, we hope you have just as much fun listening to it. Choices were made. Crash-outs were had. Comraderies were tested. Let the battle begin (again).

    The (Belated, Condensed) First Quinquennial Edgar Awards

    On September 1st, 2024, we livestreamed our 5th anniversary celebration on Discord. It was a fun little award ceremony, The First Quinquennial Edgar Awards, which we intend to host every five years in our server. On March 21st, 2025, we had to re-record the audio due to the original recording having a few technical difficulties. Now, it is May 5th, and Sideburns & Cigarettes (finally) invites you to The (Belated, Condensed) First Quinquennial Edgar Awards! Join us as we hand out awards of dubious merit to all the Lupin shows/specials/films we've covered so far, pat ourselves on the back, and unveil our listeners' choice awards! Whether you've been here since day one, or just discovered us recently, thanks for listening to our goofy little show. It truly means the world to us.

    The Island of Dr. Mamo or: We React to the LUPIN THE IIIRD: The Immortal Bloodline Trailer

    Trailer reactions aren't usually our bag, but sometimes you just want to spend 90 minutes talking about a 60 second trailer with maybe 30 seconds of new footage.

    Part I, Ep. 23: "The Big Golden Showdown!"

    On February 9th, 2020, we began our coverage of Lupin III: Part I. Today, we finally close the book on our journey with Lupin's first TV outing. It's time to end on an explosive high note. It's time to talk about Episode 23: "The Big Golden Showdown!" It's all coming to a head. The entirety of Tokyo is scrambling to claim ownership of a recently-discovered stash of gold, Zenigata is putting his badge on the line to capture Lupin and the gang once and for all, and Lupin might just put his life on the line to pull the most brazen heist yet. Join Drew, Emma, Chris, Natalie, and Guillaume as they discuss the episode, look back at Part I as a whole, and collectively rank all twenty-three episodes of the series. It's been a long road covering this series. We're grateful for every listener who's been along for the ride either from the start or along the way. Here's to more great adventures ahead!

    FEB 17

    Part I, Ep. 22: "The First-Move-Wins Computer Operation!"

    According to our calculations, Drew, Emma, Chris, Natalie, and Guillaume discuss Part 1, Episode 22, "The First-Move-Wins Computer Operation!" in this episode of Sideburns & Cigarettes! An obnoxious tech bro believes his supercomputer can supplant Lupin and Zenigata's human ingenuity. Is this a prescient episode? Yes! Is it also a boring episode? Maybe!
