    Yugoslav Interlude 4: What Rough Beast Slouches Toward the Ballot Box to be Elected?

    Show Notes

    This week on MSB: monarchs hate him! This former locksmith has ten weird tricks to win a crushing landslide election. Number five will amaze you!

    The fourth of our Yugoslav Interlude episodes sees the Communist Party of Yugoslavia enjoying two impressive electoral achievements separated by 20 years in the political wilderness. Meanwhile, King Peter discovers the limits of royal influence, Stalin makes things easier for us, and it turns out that its a lot easier to create a new world when the old one has been reduced to ashes.

    Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario.

    11.12: Night of the Living Death Army

    Show Notes

    This week on MSB, Tokyo is threatened by a menace from the sea! No, not Godzilla. No, not the lost undersea Empire of Mu or a stolen high tech submarine. And no, it's not angels either. It's cyber zombie skeleton horses!

    But it's not all doom and gloom. Domon finds something he's been missing, Rain gets through a whole episode without being kidnapped, Urube and Dr. Mikamura get what they want from the government (whatever that is), Nina gets to meet a new fave, and Thom gets to talk about Escaflowne. Plus - what's the deal with that building, anyway?

    Ready? Go!

    Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut.

    11.10: The Mummy Gundam Returns

    Show Notes

    This week on MSB, a specter is haunting Neo Egypt: the specter of com-mummy-nism! Hang on, that doesn't sound right... As the specter of Dahal Muhammad hunts Sai Saichi and memories of the Devil Gundam continue to haunt Domon Kasshu, Thom takes solace in the coolness of the robots while Nina takes the show to task for its clumsy attempts to vary the tone. Then in the research, Nina traces the Dragon Gundam's new special attacks to a four hundred year old Chinese novel. Ready? Go!

    Yugoslav Interlude 3: the Questionable Croatians

    Show Notes

    This week on MSB: the third of our dedicated Yugoslavia episodes! In this installment, we look at two Croatian members of Peter II's royal government, Vladko Maček and Ivan Šubašić, who spent their careers struggling in vain to find a compromise between Serbian ambition and Croatian independence. The war would catapult one to a position of power he never expected and cast the other into the depths of despair. Ready? Go!

    11.9: London Falling

    Show Notes

    This week on MSB, Gundam Fighters never die they just fade away (in the arms of a beautiful woman). A new Ramba Ral shows Domon the fate of a Fighter (or maybe he's a new Duker Iq trying to revive the lost art of shooting and the guns of the middle ages? It's hard to keep track), a new Hamon Crowley proves Rain isn't the only gadgeteer on the sidelines of the Gundam Fight, Thom sees a robot that is cool, and Nina can't believe her ears. All this and more on Mobile Suit Breakdown. Ready? Go!

    11.6: The Devil that Fell to Earth

    Show Notes

    This week on MSB we're covering G Gundam episode 6 as the show finally sees fit to dump a big vat of mouthwatering main plot stew all over us. What deep emotional currents run beneath the seemingly placid surface of Domon Kasshu? Why was he really chosen to pilot the Shining Gundam? Who is the man in the photograph? Is his mother's cooking actually that good? And what exactly was going on in the real Japan around this time?
