Urasawa Boys
A podcast about the collected works of Naoki Urasawa

Monster 5: CSI Tenma

Woah, it's here - so soon after the last episode (which was definitely not late)! Matt and Quinn convene once again to talk Monster, this time going over a relatively Tenma-free chunk of reading. We follow a criminal psychologist learning about the reality of a monster, and then follow some characters from previous readings, working through what it means to take a life and to be killed! Quinn has some ideas about the larger themes of the story, and Matt cracks himself up thinking about how one of the characters is a moron! Folks, it's a good one!


Material Covered: Monster (Chapter 33-41)


Next Time: Monster (Chapter 42-50)

Monster 4: Firefighter Tenma

Better late than never - here's a weekend drop of your absolute favorite podcast covering the collected works of Naoki Urasawa! In this episode, we read through a cinematic chunk of chapters that function as a real solid movie of the week. Eva's here, being mean and doing Eva stuff, and then Tenma and the gang do their best to stop the Turkish quarter of Frankfurt from going up in flames. It's an adventure with some big picture reveals that we're not quite sure we love! Thank you for waiting, this is a good one!

A Quick Announcement

Hey gang! We had some unexpected production delays related to the recent winter weather in the states - Episode 4 (which covers chapters 25-32) will be out a little later, but still soon! And I promise, it's a good one!

Monster 3: Frontier Doctor Tenma

Technically, the third episode of a podcast is the first official episode, since the first and the second are just provisional! (Don't think it through, you know what I mean!) In this episode, we sink into chapters 17-24 of MONSTER, and cover a few episodic stories of Tenma on the run, being a good doctor! Quinn's favorite side character makes an appearance, and Matt has some thoughts about exploitative moves being used for "cheap heat." We say this every time, but it's a good one!

Monster 2: True Crime Tenma

We're back with Episode 2 of our season on MONSTER! This time, we cover Chapters 9-16, which make up the back half of Volume 1 of the Perfect Edition. The engine kicks into gear with both the story and our show, and we spend some time going deep on film serials, sequential art, and one of the best Harrison Ford movies. Quinn does some top tier literary analysis, and Matt makes jokes about a girl he has a crush on being "bad at computers." It's a good one!

Monster 1: Herr Doktor Tenma

The first episode of the first season! In this one we discuss chapters 1-8 of MONSTER, which make up the first half of the first volume of the 'Perfect Edition.' Quinn's summary was this: "A doctor in Dusseldorf saves a young boy - you won't believe what happens next!" Matt leaned into the microphone and mumbled, "How'd this boy in a coma poison all that candy?" It's a good one, folks.
