    #156 - Re: Cutie Honey feat. Jessica Calvello, David Wald, and Salvatore (RetroSofa)

    Honey Flash! Sully and returning guest Salvatore (@RetroSofa) sit down with VA and dub director David Wald and OG Cutie Honey dub actress Jessica Calvello to discuss their work on the recent English dub for the 2004 OVA Re: Cutie Honey from Discotek! Topics include how Go Nagai chose Jessica for the role of Honey, how dubbing has changed since Jessica first took the role in the 90s for New Cutie Honey, and what makes Honey so special all these years later. An important note: This was recorded a few months ago, prior to David's statement on Crunchyroll opening his fan mail without his knowledge and dispersing the contents to their staff. Upon David's request, we didn't go back and add any additional mention of this in the episode, but we did want to state here in text that we are deeply disappointed in Crunchyroll's behavior and we encourage anyone listening or reading this to support David and call upon Crunchyroll to do better. Time stamps: 00:00:00 - Intro and Jessica's long history with the character 00:12:59 - Bringing back returning cast members from previous Cutie Honey and Go Nagai anime projects 00:15:49 - David's thoughts on directing dubs for "archival anime" as opposed to newly airing anime 00:18:04 - Salvatore on being a Cutie Honey super-fan, archivist, and working with Discotek Media 00:27:07 - Jessica and David on the nuances and differences across the various Cutie Honey series' 00:40:21 - How does Jessica approach the work of acting within the limitations of anime 00:46:04 - Jessica and David on dub script adaptation and directing 00:53:26 - A brief aside about Excel Saga and Jessica's "Excel Saga Journal" 01:03:49 - Knowing that Cutie Honey is a very fanservice heavy show, how do you approach that with pathos? 01:15:45 - David's approach to the lesbian text of Cutie Honey 01:27:39 - Casting Kayleigh McKee as Black Claw 01:34:46 - What's Cutie Honey's appeal for Salvatore? 01:50:49 - Salvatore asks about the mythical Cutie Honey CGI project that never materialized 02:01:24 - Jessica has a crucial question for Salvatore: Is Cutie Honey an android or a magical girl? 02:07:36 - Would Jessica and David return to dub Cutie Honey Flash if given the chance? 02:10:27 - Outro If you enjoy this or any other episode, leave us a Rating and Review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or elsewhere!

    #154 - Con-versations: Otakon 2024 feat. Coop and Maddy!

    We went to our biggest anime convention yet and what better way to celebrate than having our longest Con-versations episode yet. This time, Austin and Tori review Otakon 2024 which was held in Washington, DC from August 2-4th, 2024. This episode would have been out earlier, but between life stuff and us recording for over three and a half hours, it was a lot to get through. Totally worth it though, if you ask me, due in large part to our very special guests, Coop and Maddy! Coop you may know from their work at Discotek Media, Anime News Network, AnimEigo, J-Novel Club, and their own podcast, Dude, You Remember Macross? and Maddy you may have heard appear on shows like Giant Robot FM and Chatty AF: The Anime Feminist Podcast. Both of them are very cool, kind folks who yapped with us for way too long about an awesome convention weekend. 00:00:00 - Introduction and everyone's history with Otakon (or lack-thereof) 00:24:40 - Venue talk, including artist's alley and dealer's room 00:40:53 - Fan panels, and a tangent about Gundam 01:05:58 - Industry panels, with tangents about EGL fashion, gas stations, and more 02:08:04 - The Great and the Terrible of autograph sessions 02:24:04 - Cosplay talk!
