Episode 368: Gundam (Universal Century) (Patreon)

Content
I've spent a lot of time over the past couple of years journey back into the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s to catch up with acclaimed or influential media that, for various reasons, have passed me by. Ultimately, I consider it research and education so I can be more informed when I mouth off about things here on the podcast.
This episode, I mouth off. Fortunately, here to provide a less mouthy and more nuanced opinion as seasoned fans, we also have Kat Bailey and (making his Retronauts debut!) Austin Walker. While only about a third of this episode focuses on the games, it's a fun, energetic conversation regardless, and you are therefore bound to enjoy it.
Description:
Jeremy Parish, Austin Walker, and Kat Bailey hop aboard the White Base to travel across the span of the profoundly influential Gundam franchise (or at least the U.C. timeline) with a look at the anime and its hot scramble of a video game legacy.
