  Welcome to anime class. I'm your host Phoebe and with me
• 0:35
  is my Co host Chris. But more importantly with me is
• 0:37
  a very special guest. Please welcome to the arena.
• 0:42
  Ding Ding it's stop at tinny camp.
• 0:46
  The crowd goes wild in a kind of tray of aunties to 80s wrestling
• 0:53
  fashion. Before we dive into what we're
• 0:57
  doing this week, one thing that we do like to ask all of our
• 1:00
  guests is what was your like, gateway anime like?
• 1:04
  Is this like, tell us a bit about like your experience as
• 1:10
  whether you have or haven't watched a lot of anime, what's
• 1:13
  the vibe? I haven't really watched a lot
• 1:16
  of anime. I know about a lot of them, but
• 1:19
  I've not really sat down and get any of them.
• 1:22
  I love death, no. OK, no free.
• 1:26
  That's one of my favourites. I love Alice in Borderlands and
• 1:31
  I can't wait for Series 3, even though it's like, so are they
• 1:34
  going to do that? The first, the first one ever
• 1:41
  watched, I think I was about six of seven and it was Fest of the
• 1:45
  North Star. Oh my.
• 1:47
  Way OK yeah, this is something what we've taught that's that's
• 1:51
  such a good so you you say you haven't watched a lot of anime,
• 1:56
  but actually you're coming in with some like serious anime
• 1:58
  credentials if you've got a Fist of the North Star.
• 2:03
  I've I've seen the animated one, I've seen the live action one,
• 2:07
  I've read the comic that made all of it, I've seen the other
• 2:09
  animated one. It wasn't as good as the first
• 2:11
  one, so I might have seen that actually.
• 2:13
  Yeah, yeah, that's good. And and if you've got fighting,
• 2:18
  fighting anime credentials, then actually this was a perfect
• 2:22
  series to for us to talk about, which is ultimate muscle like
• 2:28
  immediate, immediate nostalgia. How did you both find it?
• 2:37
  What was your like? I thought it was insane.
• 2:39
  I thought it was insane. It was like watching the WWE in
• 2:42
  the 80s. It's like seeing The Ultimate
• 2:44
  Warrior run to the run round the ring in the cap out everybody
• 2:48
  and then probably asked what it was like.
• 2:51
  Yeah, yeah. And we were saying before I
• 2:53
  loved, loved how they do all the like, the switches of like you
• 2:57
  have, like the hit you have. And they make so many puns.
• 3:00
  You have the heel, you have everyone switching sides, you
• 3:03
  have the backstage drama and and like the history of like so and
• 3:08
  so's father. Like it feels very, very of that
• 3:11
  world. How about you, Chris?
• 3:13
  What was your immediate, kind of like gut punch reaction to it?
• 3:17
  It was amazing. I remember covered all from
• 3:19
  school and catching the odd episode of this and it was just
• 3:23
  like, you know, it's one of them shows where you watch as a kid,
• 3:27
  you told me figured exists and then you just it brings it all
• 3:30
  back. It was one of them.
• 3:33
  Yeah. But this might be this might be
• 3:37
  the the most experience I've got with wrestling just based off
• 3:41
  this. So this is what I base wrestling
• 3:43
  on. This is the bar that wrestling
• 3:46
  has to make. Yeah, that and two.
• 3:50
  Is it Joe Henry? Yep, just check the fuse.
• 3:55
  Oh, it's spot under him. He should spot under him.
• 4:04
  Fab So if you were going to like describe this show to someone
• 4:07
  who'd never seen an anime at all or and then never seen
• 4:11
  wrestling, how would you, what's your like elevator pitch on it?
• 4:15
  How would you summarize it? Art jokes galore and cheesy as
• 4:25
  hell in animated form. What more do you need?
• 4:31
  So I'm in. It's hard but you seem this for
• 4:37
  someone who hasn't watched anime before because I would say this
• 4:40
  is like JoJo with best happiness.
• 4:48
  I I would argue this is JoJo, but with characters that you
• 4:52
  really like. Yeah.
• 4:54
  And that you want to see succeed.
• 4:56
  Made made this the the weird damn well that stuff as well.
• 5:01
  There's still a bit of mother stuff, there's still a bit of
• 5:08
  mother stuff, but it is less weird than this.
• 5:13
  I've been told that that isn't We have mother stuff in anime.
• 5:15
  It's not you. Yeah, are you even watching
• 5:19
  anime? Exactly.
• 5:22
  It's true. I think it also explains a lot
• 5:26
  about anime fans to be fair. Yeah, I've been to anime
• 5:33
  conventions. It does say a lot about.
• 5:39
  For sure. The yeah, I agree.
• 5:42
  I think it was crazy as hell. It's very, it's very funny.
• 5:46
  It's very goofy. Not like nothing is taken
• 5:48
  serious too seriously. And yet somehow they hook you
• 5:52
  into the drama of stuff, which again, I feel like he's very is
• 5:56
  basically wrestling because I had very, very little experience
• 5:59
  of wrestling. But I've recently been sort of
• 6:01
  being drawn in to like some of the bigger fights by a friend of
• 6:05
  mine. And the bit I love is the soap
• 6:07
  opera element to wrestling. And this has it in spades, like
• 6:11
  having those kind of like, yeah, the the flashbacks that each
• 6:17
  character has about like how they've learned their special
• 6:20
  moves or like the key bit that's like the underpinning, the fight
• 6:24
  you feel in in the world in that way.
• 6:27
  And I love that. Basically, like, in rough
• 6:30
  summary for those of our audience who haven't seen it,
• 6:33
  it's based on the main character is a guy called Kid Muscle does
• 6:38
  exactly what he says on the 10. He's just very muscly, and he
• 6:42
  behaves like a kid and he's wrestling with a mask.
• 6:46
  He's trying to wrestle to save the world from aliens.
• 6:49
  And there is that is about the extent of like, any sort of
• 6:52
  serious plot except for, you know, you've got all these other
• 6:56
  strange and wonderful characters that are in it.
• 7:01
  What do you think of, like, the characters and like the
• 7:03
  animation style? Because it's like very distinct
• 7:07
  and each character is weird. Yeah, yeah, it was it that
• 7:16
  looked like it was an animation from the 80s.
• 7:19
  It looked like it came out in the 80s and I suppose that's
• 7:23
  because it's based on something that staff these in the 80s.
• 7:27
  So let's just continue it the way it is because of that, as
• 7:31
  all of this is, it was very scratchily drawn.
• 7:35
  But it's like, this is great because not really much care of
• 7:41
  the animation because the let's just get the story out and the
• 7:46
  story's insane. So that let's just match that
• 7:49
  with the animation. Yeah, everybody is insane and
• 7:53
  there's dramatic bets that are there.
• 7:56
  You get pulled in by that. Like you said, it's like it's
• 7:59
  like a softball pride. You just get filled and you want
• 8:01
  to know what's happening next. Yeah, Yeah.
• 8:05
  And it's it needs to be watched, I think more for you to watch
• 8:08
  it. I think it, I think it does need
• 8:11
  to be revisited for sure. Chris, what about you?
• 8:13
  How'd you find the? Can you, can you remember those
• 8:16
  memes where to say spot the main anime character in the room?
• 8:20
  We are obviously I'm like a school room and there's one
• 8:23
  well, like massive purple spiky hair or something.
• 8:26
  Like every one of these characters.
• 8:28
  I mean, there's a dear man. Everyone's a stereotype as well.
• 8:32
  You get. What is it?
• 8:34
  Ramen man, who's just a Chinese, just a guy.
• 8:39
  Yeah, you get. Sumo guy you get there's Lords
• 8:46
  and it's there's a walrus. There's a guy, there's a walrus
• 8:49
  guy, there's a guy who's just like a giant shoe.
• 8:52
  That's his superpower is that he is shaped like is shape.
• 8:56
  Because I got like really drawn into this by accident.
• 8:58
  Like I was watching it, was going to watch 3 episodes, ended
• 9:02
  up hit like episode 19 without even blinking.
• 9:06
  It was just very easy to watch. Did you take it all in as well?
• 9:11
  Yeah, no, I was totally engaged the whole time.
• 9:17
  In fact, I think I was trying to do other stuff and then I kept
• 9:19
  just getting drawn back into how weird and wonderful it was.
• 9:23
  It's a giant shoe. Well looking for pickers for
• 9:25
  this. I did find a guy shaped like a
• 9:29
  urinal who flushed into the wrestler in mid fight.
• 9:34
  I think I'm a speedy special move.
• 9:37
  I loved it. The other the other characters
• 9:39
  that I really, really appreciated were the
• 9:41
  commentators because that made it feel very much like a proper
• 9:45
  wrestling show. For sure.
• 9:49
  Not just the vote. The voice acting for the
• 9:51
  commentators is amazing, really good.
• 9:53
  But they also have these like weird, like little, they have
• 9:56
  these weird banter moments as they're narrating what's
• 9:59
  happening. And it was just so delightfully
• 10:02
  weird. I lost it.
• 10:07
  Honey, watch watch ahead. No, because I wouldn't.
• 10:09
  Well I watched 4 episodes and or did you watch all them Kev or
• 10:16
  watch had more than three? I was gone.
• 10:18
  He just sat and watched the three so that I could say I'll
• 10:21
  definitely watch more or no, we'll watch more.
• 10:24
  I ended up watching about 7:00 or 8:00 because I was I need to
• 10:27
  know what arms watched the three.
• 10:30
  That's no, I need to see the fight.
• 10:31
  He's dad yeah can't believe that so I watched that and then it's
• 10:35
  like Oh no, no, they're going so I need to go and see Wes where
• 10:38
  he's going aside and that episode.
• 10:40
  I think I want one more. I've got stuff to do.
• 10:43
  And then I watched two more after that.
• 10:45
  But. But that is also The thing is
• 10:49
  that like some anime has a slow start and you need to give it 3
• 10:53
  episodes before you're into the story.
• 10:56
  With this, you come straight in, there's like no explanation to
• 10:59
  anything. You're just immediately in
• 11:00
  action with him as being like thrown to earth, to Earth.
• 11:06
  He wakes up on Earth immediately.
• 11:08
  There's fight camp and it's like, and I think that is also
• 11:13
  why it's so engaging because you just it, yeah, you don't mess
• 11:17
  around with like loads of law or anything.
• 11:19
  They're just like they're here, have some, have some great
• 11:21
  fights straight away. But, well, you know, it's
• 11:24
  ridiculous straight away because you see his house and there's a
• 11:27
  giant statue of him, legs of Kimball, with the door in
• 11:30
  between his legs. And you're like, this is how
• 11:32
  this is going to carry on. And he's going to.
• 11:36
  Well, yeah. Hercules Academy or something,
• 11:39
  it's called Yeah. Yeah, let's get down to
• 11:43
  business. Yeah, defeat the Huddens.
• 11:52
  Yeah, absolutely. But and the jokes are so good
• 11:56
  because they're they're so bad. Like every joke is a dad joke.
• 12:00
  Every every pun they can possibly like reach for, they
• 12:04
  reach for and. Overtly racist names of people.
• 12:10
  And yes, it's like, wow, like. Those are the those are the
• 12:15
  moments where I'm like, is this OK to watch?
• 12:17
  But it's kind of it. They kind of just gloss straight
• 12:20
  over it as well. So there's there is also part of
• 12:22
  me that's like, again, this feels very this feels very
• 12:26
  wrestling, especially wrestling in the 80s did have those like
• 12:30
  really young, like you're like, oh, I don't know if I don't know
• 12:33
  if that's the character that's going to fly nowadays.
• 12:36
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:39
  I mean, it does have some kind of, it was made in 2002.
• 12:43
  Like I remember one of the there's a guy in the background
• 12:46
  talking about, oh, if that was my son, I would beat them and do
• 12:49
  all this. And that's probably why I don't
• 12:51
  have custody of them anymore. Yeah.
• 12:54
  All right. The jokes are kind of knowing.
• 12:58
  I think they know that they're toeing a line.
• 13:01
  Yeah. Yeah, and I would say it's no
• 13:05
  better or worse. In fact, I would say it's no
• 13:07
  worse than a South Park at its like most uncomfortably racist.
• 13:13
  Yeah, yeah, like I would do you know what I mean?
• 13:15
  Like it's, yeah, it's, it's got a bite to it, but it's not like
• 13:21
  none of it's done in earnest. There's more hate behind that.
• 13:25
  It's just these are the stereotypes that people usually
• 13:28
  think of these cultures or just using them as an example so that
• 13:32
  everybody that watches this well know that these people are from,
• 13:36
  they are, even though they're not racist, but they say they're
• 13:38
  not racist, but they might be. Yeah, it might be a little bit
• 13:43
  and there is also and but there and this is kind of of the time
• 13:46
  as well that this anime was being made because if you look
• 13:48
  at like the Dragon Ball episodes around that time, it has some of
• 13:52
  the same kind of like, oh, I don't know.
• 13:55
  Yeah. I mean, isn't that?
• 13:58
  OK. But we'll just accept it because
• 14:00
  they're going to be a bit part and we'll brush right over them.
• 14:04
  There was a, there was an English guy on it.
• 14:06
  I couldn't tell from his accent, but one of his special moves was
• 14:10
  Big Big Ben Balm or something like that.
• 14:12
  And I was oh, he must be from England.
• 14:16
  My people, yeah. Yeah, I love it.
• 14:22
  If you guys would. Change for a Scottish guy?
• 14:24
  Yeah, yeah, Let's see how terrible the accent is, because
• 14:28
  everything that there's a Scott and they do, the ridiculous
• 14:31
  Highland accent that nobody. Actually.
• 14:35
  Thanks. Thank Simpsons for perpetrating
• 14:38
  a terrible Scottish accent. But we love it.
• 14:43
  Since have weirdly made like an unusual accent somehow, like
• 14:49
  define a nation. They've like gone real niche
• 14:52
  with it. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:57
  Oh, for sure. And if and if the Scottish guy,
• 15:00
  if the Scottish wrestler came in, it would be to bagpipes and
• 15:03
  haggis. Like, there would be no, there's
• 15:07
  no staffing city in this at all at any point.
• 15:11
  And sometimes that's really this is like pure escapism.
• 15:15
  I think it's nice to just like, I know this isn't going to ask
• 15:19
  me to think the series and that's probably why it's very
• 15:23
  watchable. Yeah, yeah.
• 15:26
  People that get upset by things like that, it's like, don't take
• 15:30
  yourself too seriously. They're not.
• 15:33
  They're absolutely not. At any minute now, they're going
• 15:35
  to fart and prove that they're not.
• 15:40
  Yeah, yeah. And I think he does like Because
• 15:42
  the American guy as well, but it texts or whatever he's called
• 15:46
  Terry the kid. Terry the Kid.
• 15:48
  Terry, the kid who's like, grown up on, like a cattle ranch and
• 15:52
  it's like pure, yeah, I just had the random cave branded on his
• 15:59
  forehead. I don't think they ever really
• 16:01
  like, are they out here branding each other like on this weird
• 16:05
  cattle ranch? No one ever explains it, but
• 16:07
  it's fine. Is another president, Yeah.
• 16:13
  Yeah. Normal, I mean, yeah, but at
• 16:16
  least saying about what's happening, a lot of the news
• 16:19
  probably best. So Brandon people with random
• 16:22
  keys. I mean, I love to do.
• 16:25
  That's what they want to do. I hadn't even put that together,
• 16:28
  but yeah, that is the thing. Oh, in the sink.
• 16:33
  Oh, I hope he's. I hope he's not a triplets.
• 16:37
  And I think there's also, I think this is one of the things
• 16:40
  about with the racial stereotypes is that everyone is
• 16:43
  like up for grabs in terms of race like that.
• 16:46
  It's just, it's just universally across the board, it's
• 16:49
  everyone's there. So there's no, it's not, it
• 16:52
  doesn't feel targeted in any way either.
• 16:54
  And I think that's another thing that shows there's no, like,
• 16:57
  genuine hate behind it, if that makes sense.
• 17:00
  Yeah. So, yeah, but I've, I've got
• 17:03
  the, I've actually got, as you can see, I've got the characters
• 17:06
  in front of us. And I've just seen Comrade
• 17:08
  Tubinski on the way. He's from.
• 17:19
  Yeah, yeah. So good.
• 17:23
  I'm so silly. If you were good.
• 17:24
  OK, so here's because this is the other question.
• 17:26
  And often when I'm watching anime, I'm like, if I was in
• 17:29
  this world, what would I do? So if you were going to be an
• 17:34
  ultimate muscle wrestler, what's your ultimate muscle wrestling
• 17:37
  persona? I mean, there's, there's so many
• 17:44
  aptitudes that it would have to have, I guess that it or I'll
• 17:50
  walk this either way it would have to have wanted to because
• 17:54
  it's the only things that people know about Scotland.
• 17:57
  I like the idea of the Loch Ness Monster.
• 17:59
  Maybe. And who eats haggis?
• 18:02
  The special attack is something to do with the haggis, The
• 18:05
  haggis hammer. Loch Ness Haggis.
• 18:10
  Loch Ness Haggis delicious and mysterious.
• 18:16
  Exactly. Yeah, yeah, I'm into it.
• 18:21
  And let's let's talk special attacks for the Loch Ness
• 18:24
  Haggis. What's your like fighting style?
• 18:27
  What what we being begin to in here?
• 18:30
  Well a haggis has one leg well also I just run by people I like
• 18:35
  it and then drop and then once once up desi and tired to drop
• 18:38
  back. Sorted.
• 18:40
  Yeah, well known. Haggis back.
• 18:44
  Yep, Yep. Into it.
• 18:47
  Chris, what about you? What's your?
• 18:48
  What's your? That's all.
• 18:51
  It's a stereotype and I'm from the Northeast, so there's what
• 18:55
  studies and coal mining. So I'll be the, I don't know,
• 18:59
  the miner Stoppie. That with Miner in the name, I
• 19:05
  feel like you're in the lightweight category of
• 19:08
  wrestling, yeah. It might might be.
• 19:11
  A little coal mining, A little coal mining child.
• 19:15
  Yeah, I love it. And let's talk.
• 19:21
  Let's talk special attacks. If you've got to have like, do
• 19:24
  you know, like pocket sand but with coal dust.
• 19:36
  Yeah, I love that. I think I would go for giant
• 19:38
  woman would be mine because I am as well.
• 19:42
  I'm a giant woman. You are a.
• 19:45
  Tool they would. I am a tool.
• 19:48
  Last week I was 7 foot tall. It just keeps getting bigger
• 19:51
  every week. That's what she said.
• 19:55
  That's never what she said, Chris, that stop lying, man.
• 19:58
  Stop lying on the Internet. Wow.
• 20:05
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah, So now giant woman, and I
• 20:12
  think I'm just going to be like Phoebe Smash.
• 20:15
  Like it's like there's no, there's no cleverness to it.
• 20:22
  Just smash. Smash like big giant woman.
• 20:26
  Do you ever use a washed ahead? Is there a woman wrestler in
• 20:29
  this? No, next and you're not going to
• 20:32
  find one the women in the women in the as as they were in the
• 20:37
  80s are here purely for like to drive the men to fight harder.
• 20:43
  Literally the purpose of the women in this either because
• 20:47
  they're like defending their honour or they want attention
• 20:50
  from women who that's the role of the woman in.
• 20:54
  In ultimate muscle, much like JoJo.
• 20:59
  Much like JoJo, except that no one's calling their mother a
• 21:02
  bitch for zero reason. True, true.
• 21:08
  Yeah, but no, it's, they're literally, I think there's one,
• 21:12
  there's one recurring female character who I think there'll
• 21:17
  be some sort of love interest vibe, but at the moment they're
• 21:21
  not even, they're like more like fans than they are actual
• 21:25
  gracious. So.
• 21:28
  And that's, do you know what? Normally that would annoy me,
• 21:30
  unless it doesn't even annoy me. It's too silly for me to get
• 21:35
  annoyed about it because I'm like, yeah, women.
• 21:37
  It would be silly for women to be involved in this.
• 21:43
  This is this. The boys could have ultimate
• 21:45
  muscle. Thanks.
• 21:49
  Yeah, yeah, you're welcome. Did you have like a favorite
• 21:52
  wrestler character? So far my favorite is meat
• 22:01
  because it just it's like 1/2 naked baby running around
• 22:08
  telling people what to do what? What do you need?
• 22:14
  This as we described this more and more, it feels like a fever
• 22:17
  to name so the best character is the half naked baby who sounds
• 22:22
  like a whiskey drinking smoker in his 50s.
• 22:26
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I was a big fan of
• 22:30
  me too. He and he makes it.
• 22:31
  He feels like Phil from Hercules.
• 22:35
  He's got. Way offs.
• 22:40
  Even the voice, I didn't look up the voice actor, and I feel like
• 22:43
  I should have for the English dub because his voice is so
• 22:46
  familiar, but it's that kind of like Grady kind of New Yorkie,
• 22:50
  kind of. A.
• 22:53
  Kid Muzzle. I'm wrestling here.
• 22:57
  Yeah. Get back to work.
• 23:04
  Yeah, meets great. I know it doesn't ever explain
• 23:08
  like what meets meat vibe is like why is why is he enslaved
• 23:13
  as a kind of manager character to the muscle dynasty?
• 23:20
  I didn't. It doesn't explain why he's tiny
• 23:22
  as well, does it? He doesn't explain why he's
• 23:24
  tiny. I think he's that corn that went
• 23:27
  wrong. Oh.
• 23:29
  Oh. Yeah, because he was fighting in
• 23:32
  the chamber thing, wasn't he? Yes, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:38
  Maybe that's in the original series.
• 23:41
  Maybe they talk about meat. Meat's origin story.
• 23:45
  What is the origin of meat? Yeah, what about you, Chris?
• 23:53
  Oh right, so because I've only watched 1st 4 episodes picking
• 23:58
  this guy only because of his name, it's got to be Dick, Dick
• 24:03
  von Dick. Yeah, also sometimes known as
• 24:07
  Gazelle Man. Oh no he's not.
• 24:13
  Whatever, whatever version. There must be two versions, like
• 24:18
  a Fox Kids version and then the world.
• 24:20
  We watched for the English dub because I hadn't, because he was
• 24:25
  called that in In the vision we watched.
• 24:28
  Dick. Dick von Dick.
• 24:29
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because he collects
• 24:31
  people. But with Dick.
• 24:36
  Dick von Dick, yes, again, Sounds like he could be German.
• 24:41
  And yet he's a gazelle. Well.
• 24:48
  Dick Dick Dick's an actual shook in them gazelle type animal so.
• 24:56
  Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah. But von Dick, Dick, von Dick.
• 25:00
  So he's got a lineage. Don't wonder about that.
• 25:05
  Let him have a lineage fee, babe.
• 25:06
  Why are you? Yeah, why are you trying to pick
• 25:10
  a bar? Ultimate mouth.
• 25:14
  Yeah. But yeah, yeah, he's also like,
• 25:19
  he feels like a Piccolo character, you know, like the
• 25:21
  characters who were like, intense and very serious and
• 25:27
  there to do a job and a duty. Dick.
• 25:30
  Dick Von Dick has integrity, I feel, as a wrestler.
• 25:36
  Yeah, Yeah. Nice.
• 25:40
  I like the walrus guy. I like that he immediately goes
• 25:46
  out. Don't see she spend the rest of
• 25:49
  the whole of the first series just in hospital watching on the
• 25:53
  10th. Oh, does he?
• 25:55
  I didn't even know that. Oh sorry, sorry, spoilers.
• 26:01
  But he does it in a very exciting way, which I don't
• 26:03
  think I won't ruin. I don't think you can actually
• 26:07
  spoil this because even if you say Oh yeah, the kid Muscle wins
• 26:12
  the tournament or something, but she probably will, It's just
• 26:16
  like you're watching for how he wins it and what happens, so.
• 26:20
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, possible.
• 26:23
  So this is, I don't think it's ever going to get more complex
• 26:26
  as good guys versus bad guys. Good guys will win, but
• 26:31
  ultimately I think the good guys are going to come together and
• 26:35
  win. That's and, yeah.
• 26:38
  What the bad guys called again is like an organization.
• 26:41
  It's 3 letters. CMP DMP Yes, Which sounds like a
• 26:47
  problematic, problematic football game style.
• 26:54
  Yeah. Bring on the DMP.
• 27:02
  Yeah, no, it's great. But I also love, I love the
• 27:05
  other thing that I really like about this series and they do it
• 27:08
  a lot with the DMPS. But the DMP have really cool
• 27:11
  merch and like merch sales become like a whole thing in the
• 27:17
  story. I saw like after this I was
• 27:22
  going to look for the DNP shirts.
• 27:26
  I would wear that. Yeah, well, so would a lot of
• 27:30
  other people. And that's.
• 27:32
  And so they gained a lot of popularity.
• 27:34
  And it's like, what was that? What was that wrestling group
• 27:37
  who kind of like, they were like almost like bad boys are
• 27:40
  wrestling. They wore a lot of black and
• 27:41
  leather in the 80s and they kind of demolition, demolition.
• 27:48
  That's who is the the DMV. Remind me of.
• 27:51
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remind me very much of
• 27:53
  Demolition because they have that kind of like high glamour
• 27:58
  villain villain energy. Yeah, but I don't blame you.
• 28:05
  I would also wear the T-shirt if you would instead of anchors.
• 28:09
  Yeah, next, next Arabic on I'll I'll wear it, see if everyone
• 28:13
  that's. Going to be a deep cut.
• 28:21
  Be very surprised. Yeah, for sure.
• 28:26
  So, favorite characters, Worst characters?
• 28:30
  Did they? Were there any characters?
• 28:31
  You were like, I can't wait to see them get beaten up.
• 28:36
  I don't think that was even the bad guys.
• 28:39
  It's like, you know, I want these guys to get beat, but I
• 28:44
  want them to win for a. Yeah.
• 28:47
  Because that characters are amazing, yeah.
• 28:53
  Yeah, the struggle is good and the fights are good as well,
• 28:57
  because I think you like, you're like, actually we're here for
• 29:00
  the show and whoever wins is kind of almost irrelevant at
• 29:04
  this point. I know the reason.
• 29:06
  Bigger plot. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:09
  What about you, Chris? Any.
• 29:10
  The same I kind of love to hate them so that that means that
• 29:14
  they're good villains, but not no.
• 29:18
  I don't know if that makes them a good villain because I liked
• 29:21
  to like, not like them, but if they were they, I think the
• 29:25
  series would be shit. Yeah, wouldn't be as good.
• 29:30
  It definitely makes them a good heel for in terms of the whole,
• 29:34
  yeah, yeah. Even the with when the other
• 29:38
  Hercules Academy, the the snake guy, even even I was like that's
• 29:43
  amazing. Just constricting him and the
• 29:48
  tech. Terry the kid Chuck some peanuts
• 29:50
  at him. Yeah, I do love, I do like how
• 29:59
  they problem solve the fights as well in this because it's like
• 30:01
  it'll always be something that they've learned in training from
• 30:04
  their mental character, which is sometimes their father.
• 30:06
  It's sometimes it's like someone who has been a father like
• 30:10
  figure. There's a lot of dad stuff in
• 30:12
  this as well as there being some mum stuff.
• 30:15
  Yeah, yeah. And I kind of love I kind of
• 30:19
  love waiting for the turning point each time And Terry, the
• 30:25
  kids one I really love because he's like, no, I want to wrestle
• 30:28
  like other people who are much cooler.
• 30:30
  And then you see him like settle into his own.
• 30:34
  He's a White Star. I loved I loved that kind of I
• 30:37
  think he was my favorite character, even though I do
• 30:39
  think it's like his whole like his whole family where they're
• 30:42
  from is ridiculous. They're just out here wrestling
• 30:47
  cows just for I can see no like farming no like farming reason
• 30:56
  why they would need to like wrestle cows with their bare
• 30:59
  hands, but they. Are it's not something stupid
• 31:02
  like that they make the ground beef for bustling it, but no,
• 31:07
  maybe like beaten down today. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:20
  What suplex under depth? I want to know the end the
• 31:27
  Walruskman's back story as well because after I've genuinely
• 31:30
  watched 44 episodes I can't remember.
• 31:34
  Is it good? I don't think they go into it
• 31:38
  that much. He's he.
• 31:39
  They cut like a. Tiny Bat, but from what I
• 31:44
  remember Tiny Bat as well, the money went that what Hopefully,
• 31:48
  yeah, because there's went a lot of other people's.
• 31:54
  I mean, there's three seasons, so.
• 31:56
  There are three seasons. I have a feeling Walrus Man will
• 31:59
  get his redemption and then that's where we'll see like the
• 32:02
  real meaningful stuff. But yeah, you don't see a, you
• 32:05
  don't see a lot from him, but you do see him chilling in the
• 32:09
  hospital and having like a really good energy.
• 32:13
  Like he seems like a very good loser.
• 32:15
  He's just like out here trying to support his mates, building
• 32:20
  everyone up. I think just, you know.
• 32:23
  After he saw me big fish in the backroom down the minute, that's
• 32:28
  all I've seen. And he is also part walrus.
• 32:33
  Yeah. Because that's the other thing I
• 32:36
  don't understand are, are these, are these people mutants?
• 32:39
  Are they, is he, is he half walrus, half man?
• 32:43
  Is he a man in a walrus costume? Is Dick Dick 1 Dick half half a
• 32:49
  half a Dick? I think she's all bets.
• 32:56
  I think he's all bet. Tagline ultimate muscle.
• 33:03
  It's all deck. Yeah, yeah, that's that.
• 33:13
  I secretly also hope that we get like commentator back story.
• 33:17
  You do hear them talking about their wives and stuff, which
• 33:20
  feels very real. Like they they talk about their
• 33:24
  lives, but you don't get the flashback, but you do with the
• 33:26
  wrestlers. I don't.
• 33:28
  Think that was in the script. I think they just share their
• 33:31
  own stories, like here's a script, talk about yourselves,
• 33:35
  There's that I. Think it's a lot.
• 33:39
  You could occasionally if you could talk about these moves,
• 33:41
  that's great, but just have a chat, yeah.
• 33:47
  I'm sure that some of like a lot of this must have been ad libbed
• 33:51
  as well. This script, yeah.
• 33:55
  And it it feels it. Yeah, it feels like the voices.
• 34:00
  We're just having a laugh all. Right.
• 34:02
  So let's say any advisory, you know.
• 34:04
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so. I think he's got that energy.
• 34:09
  And I think that's part of why the jokes land so well, because
• 34:12
  the jokes aren't, they're not amazing.
• 34:14
  They are like dad jokes and they're super cheesy, but
• 34:18
  because they feel off the cuff you're like, that's quite funny.
• 34:23
  Throw in the occasional fart and I'm a happy gal.
• 34:30
  I got the. Form they definitely throw in
• 34:31
  all that farts. Also, I love it that what other
• 34:37
  anime do you know that in its theme tune it has the word
• 34:40
  flatulence? Yeah, highbrow.
• 34:50
  Oh yeah. I mean, not that even Rain in
• 34:52
  FEMPE spoke about that and their theme song and that's
• 34:56
  essentially just a fart shot for the entire one of that fart
• 35:01
  joke. Joke and they couldn't even
• 35:06
  figure out how to put flatulence in the.
• 35:09
  But I really love that it's flatulence.
• 35:11
  It's not fart. It's not far as flatulence.
• 35:14
  It's flatulence. Or making a fart joke that we're
• 35:17
  classy about. It exactly we're going to find
• 35:21
  something to rhyme with this we're going to make sure that we
• 35:23
  really think this through yeah for.
• 35:28
  Sure, that's what we insensor thing it's got to be, isn't it?
• 35:32
  Oh. Yeah.
• 35:34
  Do you think? I just think it was art
• 35:37
  operates. But it could be, it could be a
• 35:43
  weird sense of thing. And then what?
• 35:45
  And this does feel like this is from the air.
• 35:47
  Like the fact that they've got different names makes me think
• 35:49
  there are different versions for different censorship laws
• 35:55
  because Gazelle man, as opposed to Dick Dick, that feels like a
• 36:00
  sensitive censorship choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:07
  I didn't realize that meat was called Alexandria meat.
• 36:11
  Yeah. Yeah, please refer to him by his
• 36:14
  full name because should I get in the respect he deserves?
• 36:20
  Yeah, Alexandria meat, which also and calling someone by
• 36:24
  their surname, Pillsbury Public School.
• 36:29
  Either he's got either he's been to boarding school or there is
• 36:32
  some sort of army energy in it. Probably the latter, I'm going
• 36:39
  to guess. Probably.
• 36:40
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what were some of the, like,
• 36:45
  the high moments for you so far up to what you've watched?
• 36:50
  What, like, where were you like? Yes.
• 36:53
  It was it was the far off these Dad.
• 36:58
  Yeah. I mean that that's all that
• 37:00
  formulas are. Definitely.
• 37:03
  Didn't you watch more? Yeah.
• 37:06
  The fastest, the highest moment in the Porter.
• 37:08
  I don't care. I've seen that.
• 37:10
  I want to know where it goes. Stay.
• 37:12
  I'm in. There's a lot of father son
• 37:14
  stuff here that I can relate to. Let's go.
• 37:20
  Yeah. No.
• 37:21
  Oh, man. That was the bit that made me
• 37:22
  think Chris should watch this with his son because I was like,
• 37:26
  see, both of them are going to love me.
• 37:29
  And there was a bit before that where his dad was like this
• 37:33
  absolutely massive blow. And then he starts tickling them
• 37:37
  and he says, I've just arranged my fat so it looks like X and
• 37:40
  muscles. Watch out, he turns in this
• 37:44
  decrepit old man. Yes.
• 37:47
  And I love that he seems to be like really serious, but
• 37:50
  actually he's just like holding his breath, like when you suck
• 37:52
  in your stomach. So it's not that he's like
• 37:56
  really angry at everyone. You just can't like can't speak
• 37:59
  unless it ruins his old look. Yes.
• 38:05
  It it was the way because he had an unbreakable move where he
• 38:11
  tangles them up in the ropes at the side of the ring and he used
• 38:14
  to say, oh, every move is unbreakable.
• 38:16
  Think back to like what I've taught you.
• 38:18
  And he teaches them pulling his finger and farting.
• 38:20
  And he said, oh, can you just can you just check me?
• 38:23
  Check me underpants. I think the writing up that he
• 38:25
  farted experience. That's.
• 38:31
  That's what I realised. Yeah, this is funny.
• 38:34
  This is good. I also think in that flashback
• 38:38
  there's something that makes me really feel for Molly because I
• 38:41
  know that you and Finney sometimes corner her and fart on
• 38:44
  her. Yeah, Yeah, we're doing.
• 38:48
  And the energy of that flashback was very bad.
• 38:55
  The bum following through was like a frying pan to the face or
• 38:58
  something. And I mean that that was too
• 39:03
  fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 39:05
  I have no one saying that she does not deserve to beat the
• 39:09
  hell out of them after that. Yeah, yeah.
• 39:15
  Good, beautiful thing. Yeah.
• 39:20
  I think for that was a highlight for me as well.
• 39:22
  I was just giggling like a like, like a fairy.
• 39:26
  Very lowbrow. Very not lowbrow.
• 39:30
  No, I'm going to say that it's to put the art in fart so I'll
• 39:40
  skip. I think we've all done this but
• 39:41
  we always ask towards the end of the episode, would you watch
• 39:44
  past episode 3? And the answer is.
• 39:48
  I think, I think, I think I've watched about 7:00 or 8:00
• 39:52
  there. So yeah, I've gone.
• 39:56
  In bed while I can't sleep tonight.
• 39:58
  Is that I think that's the perfect place.
• 40:00
  It's like when you just need to veg out somewhere.
• 40:03
  This is going to be a good anime to put on.
• 40:06
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. For me, this is like that.
• 40:08
  I've had a fun Saturday night and I'm regretting Sunday
• 40:11
  mornings kind of anime. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:18
  What about you, Chris? Def I'm I'm going to get Sydney
• 40:21
  in on this, yeah. Yeah, it is time I have to make
• 40:28
  him an anime fan. He do love it.
• 40:30
  I didn't try to make him well, not make him.
• 40:34
  I did today try to introduce a one piece but then I realized
• 40:37
  that they say bastard and stuff in it and I was like oh I kind
• 40:40
  of teach a 5 year old but. Ah, you can't.
• 40:45
  Well, not when I get the coward. If he gets it picked up from
• 40:49
  school I'm not bothered. You've just got to wait.
• 40:53
  You're just going to wait a few, like a few months and he'll have
• 40:56
  picked up and then you couldn't do it.
• 40:57
  One piece. I yeah, I think this would be
• 41:02
  more fun than one piece for him anyway, because it's just a bit
• 41:06
  more bit more goofy when you're you're a little one.
• 41:10
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 41:14
  Nice. What where would you want to see
• 41:17
  it go? Like what are the So we've
• 41:19
  already said we want to see more Walrus man back story.
• 41:23
  Yes. What other kind of stories,
• 41:27
  themes are you themes like this is?
• 41:29
  I don't think we're going we're going to.
• 41:31
  We don't need to expect themes from Ultimate Muscle, but we
• 41:33
  might good stories. So themes I was like.
• 41:39
  Where am I? Stop taking yourself so
• 41:40
  seriously. What other stories are you
• 41:45
  hoping for? Like any big reveals or things
• 41:48
  that you're hoping to see from the rest of the series?
• 41:50
  If you do, watch past. I want to see some evil quorns
• 41:55
  that beat them, don't just a bet they off so they have to go back
• 42:00
  and train a bit more to be a wee bit better than themselves.
• 42:05
  And then all of a sudden the eyes on or somebody just left
• 42:09
  some drugs. All high.
• 42:10
  We've been actually fight ourselves.
• 42:12
  We were just really high. You could see that happening.
• 42:16
  It'd be fair. And I.
• 42:18
  I can see that happening. Sounds like I'd eat these
• 42:21
  restaurants totally because most of them were high at the tech
• 42:25
  there's. A lot of people coming out
• 42:30
  wiping their nose. Sure.
• 42:34
  Yeah, yeah. It's from the sweat though,
• 42:36
  isn't it? Yeah, yeah.
• 42:38
  This wipe. Yeah.
• 42:39
  Yeah. Why us?
• 42:40
  Oh, they had the sniffles or something.
• 42:42
  I mean, you know, they're only humid.
• 42:47
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 42:48
  What about you, Chris? Any like what you got and say?
• 42:52
  Every character in this is trapped like a main character at
• 42:55
  some point. So you got to get all of the
• 42:57
  back stories, everyone's motivations.
• 43:00
  And so far I want to see more of the evil ones.
• 43:04
  Like I want to know what the crack was with a with a snake
• 43:07
  man or do you know? I don't know who it is.
• 43:10
  And the three people in the ring, one of them is the English
• 43:14
  one who does the Big Ben bomb and the two other ones who were
• 43:19
  like interested in the merch deal of I would know what their
• 43:22
  backstop it's where'd they go, what they did, who?
• 43:26
  Are these hustlers? Yeah.
• 43:31
  Yeah, yeah, for sure. I really, I there's this one
• 43:37
  character that comes in a bit later.
• 43:38
  He's like just a big talking telephone guy.
• 43:42
  Right. Well, like a physical telephone.
• 43:47
  Like an actually he's like, but like a really blocky 80s mobile
• 43:51
  phone with arms and like really hench arms and legs.
• 43:56
  Like he did not skip Friday. And I kind of want to see more
• 44:05
  objects, more objects, people. It's just like, he's really
• 44:09
  silly. He's like, what could you like?
• 44:13
  And also like the way that they try and make different, like
• 44:16
  there's a shoe villain, there's a telephone villain.
• 44:19
  And how they try and make these, well, they don't try.
• 44:22
  I think they succeed quite well. Like how to make these guys
• 44:25
  scary and how their attacks are so powerful, but at the end of
• 44:31
  the day is just someone fighting a giant shoe.
• 44:34
  I want to see more of that. Yeah, yeah.
• 44:39
  Do they have like, do they have like heartfelt backstories and
• 44:42
  stuff? I just want to see like a a
• 44:43
  weird flashback of like a tiny little restless shoe, like
• 44:48
  getting berated by his dad or something.
• 44:52
  You're going to have so much fun, Chris.
• 44:54
  Get in. Definitely need to watch this.
• 44:58
  Right. And I do think the villains,
• 45:00
  they, I think they do as good a job with the villains as they do
• 45:03
  with the heroes of like making, making you want to root for
• 45:07
  them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 45:11
  There is no loser in this because it's like whoever wins,
• 45:13
  you're like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 45:18
  The the creators of this must have just like 2 wheels, one
• 45:21
  with the couldn't place, it couldn't be of origin and one
• 45:24
  with object. OK, we're going to have a.
• 45:32
  Brazilian phone man. It looks like we've got an Irish
• 45:40
  spade. Yeah, it can be wild.
• 45:48
  I kind of I just want to see like how how how many wacky
• 45:51
  options can they keep throwing in?
• 45:53
  Because so because they're all very different and at some point
• 45:56
  they're going to they. Yeah, I just would like to see
• 45:59
  if they can sustain it for three series without ever repeating
• 46:02
  anything. Most.
• 46:04
  I mean the manga has been going since the 80s or something isn't
• 46:08
  it? Yeah, yeah.
• 46:11
  Yeah, and they're still, they're still releasing it.
• 46:15
  There's there's ones every now and again.
• 46:17
  They're not doing them consistently.
• 46:20
  I think the last one was 2020 I think.
• 46:25
  OK, but it's still quite recent. Though so.
• 46:27
  So it's like it's been going a while.
• 46:29
  Yeah. So that's about 42 years.
• 46:35
  That's that's kind of, yeah. And they have still run out of
• 46:39
  ideas. Yeah.
• 46:41
  And also, for something that's been going so long, I feel like
• 46:44
  this isn't something that comes up in people's anime rosters
• 46:46
  very much. It feels like an underrated
• 46:51
  goofy time. Yeah.
• 46:53
  I mean, yeah, yeah. Because that's, you know, that's
• 46:56
  in line with things like One Piece and Naruto and maybe not
• 47:02
  in terms of volume of anime. And I think that maybe that's
• 47:06
  also a selling point. Like you can get, you can get in
• 47:09
  on something that's thinking like been released for a long
• 47:12
  time has some good, good enough stuff that you can dive into it,
• 47:18
  but also you're not going to have to devote the next year of
• 47:23
  your life to catching up. Yeah, absolutely.
• 47:28
  Which is nice. So, and obviously it is this is
• 47:33
  I think this is 2002 when Ultimate Muscle was showing on
• 47:37
  the telly. How do you feel like it holds up
• 47:40
  into and we've talked a bit about some of the some of the
• 47:46
  characters that might not get green but nowadays.
• 47:49
  Yeah. But outside, what do you think?
• 47:54
  After I think it will talk like I'll be watching this with
• 47:58
  Finley and not worried or anything.
• 47:59
  Like yeah, still funny as well. I mean, farts can never not be
• 48:06
  funny. Is the fart the universal like?
• 48:12
  Yeah, it definitely I still. Laugh.
• 48:14
  I think so. I mean, I think people take
• 48:22
  things too seriously and then when they watch things from a
• 48:27
  while ago, they go, oh, that's not right.
• 48:29
  That wasn't right time, but nobody cared.
• 48:34
  So why do you Care now? I've I've said to the people,
• 48:38
  they've spoke about things or they couldn't make that nowadays
• 48:42
  as the example I use is Greece couldn't make that in the 70s,
• 48:47
  but they did. It was outdated and the 70s when
• 48:52
  they made it and it was based in the 50s and it was outdated for
• 48:55
  the 50s. Nothing has gone in or offend
• 49:00
  everybody. And if you get offended by
• 49:01
  selling me things like that, then don't watch anything.
• 49:06
  Especially, yes, this, this isn't for if you're, if you're
• 49:10
  feeling very earnest about the state of the world, you might
• 49:14
  need this. It might not land well with you.
• 49:17
  But I do think this is needed because I think sometimes, and
• 49:21
  especially in anime, people get really impassioned.
• 49:23
  And I think it's lovely that people feel like this real deep
• 49:26
  connection to anime shows. I don't think anyone's good
• 49:30
  going to be like, you can't say that about ultimate Muscle,
• 49:33
  Like, And if you are that, you've missed the point for
• 49:40
  sure. Like, I think this is, yeah,
• 49:42
  this is something that isn't going to take itself too
• 49:44
  seriously. It's just a bit of fun.
• 49:47
  Yeah, Try not to worry about it. And pull my finger.
• 49:59
  That's so good. Thank you so much for coming to
• 50:02
  talk about Ultimate Muscle. Are there any like closing
• 50:04
  thoughts before we wrap up if? You want to start watching
• 50:12
  anime? Start with something like this.
• 50:16
  Don't start with something serious and wrong and dark.
• 50:20
  You don't want to get into the dark anime straight away.
• 50:23
  Geez yourself in with something like this and then you can move
• 50:28
  on. Yeah, so it was something
• 50:31
  brightly coloured and yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 50:33
  Yeah, and not and not start with fascism.
• 50:35
  Not start besides brittle. I was just thinking about
• 50:40
  because there's so many deaths about in weird ways as well, so
• 50:44
  many yards exploding and I was sex when I watched that, where
• 50:52
  you go and ride the school going.
• 50:57
  Yeah, it was. My cousin got a tea.
• 51:01
  How old? That's how long ago it was.
• 51:04
  I take and he's ah, we should watch that.
• 51:06
  So we watched that. I was like, can I copy that?
• 51:08
  So I copied that and I gave it to everybody.
• 51:14
  That's a proper anime origin story.
• 51:17
  Yeah, that's that, definitely. How did the old become maniacs?
• 51:21
  We watched Fest of the North Star.
• 51:23
  We watched sex. There's a thing like, so I got
• 51:28
  really into comics with a my dad used to like, feed me comics as
• 51:32
  a kid, but one that he fed me when I was four, way too young
• 51:35
  and permanently scarred me for life.
• 51:37
  Is it one called When the Wind Blows by Raymond Briggs, the guy
• 51:41
  who did this? Yeah, Yeah.
• 51:46
  But if anyone's ever seen or read When the Wind Didn't Blows.
• 51:51
  It's nothing like the snowman. Shit, absolutely not Snowman.
• 51:57
  It's one of the most horrific things I've ever seen.
• 52:01
  It reads like an Mr. James doll. It's basically just like the
• 52:08
  slow it's nuclear apocalypse followed by a lovely old couple
• 52:12
  slowly dying of radiation poisoning in graphic detail.
• 52:18
  I know what that is now, Stark. Yeah.
• 52:27
  So I think you need and when you've been fed media like that,
• 52:31
  sometimes you need a bit of old. Yeah, you just offset it.
• 52:35
  But thank you so much for coming to talk to us, Kevin.
• 52:40
  It's I've had Kev. Kevin.
• 52:43
  Kev, Kevin, I've been called what?
• 52:48

• 52:50

• 52:55
  they want to find what you're up to, like what you want?

• 53:12
