This time, Animation Scholar & Robo-technician, Ethan Halker (@Sundown_McMoon) joins Coop and Dylan to sample a spread of pivotal episodes from the Macross Saga of Robotech. The trio compare and contrast the approach of episodes 1, 27, and 36 in comparison to their source material while going deep into series' production history. 

Episode summaries start at 29:30 and party on dudes! 

Balancing nostalgia with an ever developing critical eye, the importance of women in the growth of anime as a medium, Ethan's passionate pitch for you to check out Robotech Remix, and insights on the influence of Carl Macek and his collaborators on animation as a whole come up in this beefy conversation.
