AGP#095 – The Ballad of Harmagedon Joe

Evan and David welcome back the AGP’s reigning bad ’80s anime
champion Stephen McAuliffe to talk about the legendary
apocalyptic psychic action movie Harmagedon (a.k.a. Genma Wars)
at the request of friend of the podcast Vinnie Averello. The trio
marvels at both the nonsensical plot of the movie itself and
Central Park Media’s extremely powerful English dub. Topics
include: Street Fighter diversity, “American Indian,” and psyonic
racism.
