Episode 123 - Mobile Suit Gundam: Twinks in Space II

About this episode

The episode critiques the Gundam film MSG SEED Freedom and its nostalgic elements and themes.

After a year of sitting on it - we finally recorded our long awaited takedown of the recent Gundam Film - MSG SEED Freedom (2024) - and it's uncanny ability to take us back to 2004 not just in its style but also its hamfisted exploitation of Universal Century's designs and plot beats, and bizarre commentary on interventionism.
