Join Drew, Emma, Chris, Natalie, and Guillaume, as they dive into The Top 50(ish) Episodes of Lupin III: Part II (according to the hosts and listeners of Sideburns & Cigarettes) with the series' first episode, "The Gallant Return of Lupin the Third" or ("The Return of Lupin the 3rd").

We're currently in limbo between Parts I and II with a review of Strange Psychokinetic Strategy on the way. In the interim, our co-host Emma came up with a wonderful idea. Between every mainline anime series, we'll be focusing on all five members of the Lupin Gang. Chosen at random, we'll discuss how we feel about these thieving rascals (and one dogged, long-suffering inspector). We'll break down what we love about them, what we'd like to see more of, some favorite key moments, our personal headcanons, and much more! For our first episode in this very special series, we're shining the spotlight on our favorite modern-day samurai, Goemon Ishikawa!

On April 26th, 2025, we hosted an epic battle on our Discord server. 46 movies, TV specials, and OVAs were pitted against each other with randomly generated battle brackets. Only one would emerge as the victor in THE GREAT LUPIN MOVIE/SPECIAL/OVA TOURNAMENT! We had an incredibly fun time hosting this stream with many of our listeners in attendance. Whether you're listening for the first time or reliving the historic competition, we hope you have just as much fun listening to it. Choices were made. Crash-outs were had. Comraderies were tested. Let the battle begin (again).

On September 1st, 2024, we livestreamed our 5th anniversary celebration on Discord. It was a fun little award ceremony, The First Quinquennial Edgar Awards, which we intend to host every five years in our server. On March 21st, 2025, we had to re-record the audio due to the original recording having a few technical difficulties. Now, it is May 5th, and Sideburns & Cigarettes (finally) invites you to The (Belated, Condensed) First Quinquennial Edgar Awards! Join us as we hand out awards of dubious merit to all the Lupin shows/specials/films we've covered so far, pat ourselves on the back, and unveil our listeners' choice awards! Whether you've been here since day one, or just discovered us recently, thanks for listening to our goofy little show. It truly means the world to us.
