Mania Weekend review with special guest Daniel Makabe
In this episode of Boots and Trunks, Jamesie looks at the 1994 Super J Cup and how that tournament served to make one particular wrestler an overnight star. And he takes the opportunity to wax lyrical at the greatest football debut performance of all time for his beloved Manchester United.
In this episode Alex tackles the Takarazuka Revue and gives a brief history of the all-female theater group and its important connection to joshi wrestling of the late 1970s into the 1980s. She also takes time to are some grievances with the way many wrestling fans seem to willingly misunderstand the culture surrounding Japanese wrestling.
In episode 3, Alex takes a look into the origins of the visual aesthetics of shoujo manga of the 70s by explaining the origins of magazines made for a demographic composed of the growing number of female students attending secondary school. How did the iconic art style of shoujo manga develop those giant sparkling eyes and why did the early 70s see the debuts of a large number of young female artists? The pre-war era holds the answers. https://isayyousayheisei.home.blog/

This episode I'm joined once again by Kris P. Lettuce. Going to be honest folks, A+ Talent like myself and Kris deserve better than what this episode gave us.

Finally, after a long hiatus, We Don't Know Wrestling Society X is back with Mr.SCI aka Ben AKA Boston Nooga. We talk about why WSX strikes a chord with us, the camp appeal, and one of the all-time great endings to an episode of a televised wrestling program. I am afraid to overhype it but not sure how I possibly could. There are multiple pieces of human trash in this promotion and try to avoid talking about them at any length and will continue to try and improve that. Follow Ben on Twitter @Bos...
