Gosh, it feels like forever since I last did this, but it hasn't been that long, has it? We return and bring in the new year with another cracker of an episode of the Dirty Pair OVA series! Shinichiro Watanabe returns to the director's seat to walk us through the seedy world of underground fighting, super-steroid use, and long-simmering grudges. You know, the kind of stuff you'd expect.

Unexpected, perhaps, is the colossal muscle woman who drives the action of this episode, yet another example of the 3WA cleaning up its own mess, and another example of Kei having to fight a giant muscle lady (remember when the Pair fought a pair of professional wrestlers over ownership of a cat? I sure do). There's also the requisite amount of Kei and Yuri acting like, well, partners, if you take our meaning. One day those crazy kids will figure it out, I'm sure. Perhaps next episode? I don't remember which one that is, actually. Only one way to find out, and that's to keep subscribed to this here podcast!

I want to remind everyone that we record these shows all in a batch and in fact recorded this show at the beginning of November, which makes the fact that the American News Media is all talking about an Italian dude named Luigi another one of those weird serendipitous things that sometimes happen with this show, like how our episode about the Halloween episode actually went up around Halloween. Sometimes these things just happen!

Anyway, this episode is all about how many references to other films the show-runners could fit into a 22 minute runtime, and I, your faithful editor, took up the challenge and met them reference for reference (not really (maybe)). There's also a counterfeiting plot (our second of the series!) and Yuri getting married on a fabulous resort island. These two plots are inextricable from one another!

There's also a special bonus announcement from me, the editor, to say that we're taking the holidays off and will be back on January 9th. See you then!

Side-tracked conversations and Dragon Kung Fu abounds on this, our latest offering to the devoted listeners who are hungry for more tales of the Dirty Pair! We dive into the fifth episode of the Dirty Pair OVA series and answer the important questions of: what the hell is Mughi wearing? Is his code name Kung Fu Dragon or Dragon Kung Fu? What's that hat Kei's got on called, anyway? I promise that we answer all of these questions and a few more that you've forgotten you wanted to know. It's all happening on this, our Thanksgiving (USA) episode of Dirty Pair: Project P.O.D.!

Our next episode will be ready and waiting for you on December 12th, just in time for.... something, probably. Not quite Christmas. It'll be great! See you then!
