Amusing. Once you take hold of me, what will you do?
Saved by the Belial takes hold of the Ultraman series (from Showa to New Gen Heroes) in a thoughful and analytic manner, not getting bogged down in Ultra-seriousness. Discussion of themes, symbolism, and fresh interpretations abounds, thankfully avoiding simple episode recaps. The gimmick of limiting the conversation on each episode to three minutes (the time span for a traditional Ultraman color timer) keeps the conversation focused and concise, eliminating the rambling and repetitiveness sometimes heard on other pods. While much of the show's humor is American culture-dependent and I don't get it (starting with the title), this won't be an issue for 99% of listeners. Most importantly, the show and its hosts David and Chris reflects the spirit of Ultra: kindness, compassion, working together, and just generally being a good person. Beliarok would find these guys amusing, so it earns my highest recommendation.Read full review »
