10. An Accidental Double Feature! Rebuilds of Evangelion (Evangelion Shin Gekijōban: Jo & Ha) & Akira

dir. Anno Hideaki, 2007 & 2009 & dir. Otomo Katsuhiro, 1988

This episode is a weird one. So we are back at last to talk about Akira, and we had a good time. But perhaps is the bulk of the episode is spent on something else entirely lol. Niamh and I watched the Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone and Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance and had a lot of thoughts. If you're averse to spoilers about these two movies, we start talking about them in vague details at 11 minutes, we start really getting into spoiler territory at 21 minutes, and the discussion wraps up at 1 hour and 4 minutes. Sorry to surprise you with that if you're just here to talk about Akira. To be fair, much as we both love Akira, there isn't a ton to say beyond "that's one hell of a movie" haha.

Next time we will be continuing to explore the yakuza genre by watching one of the absolute classics, Tokyo Drifter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also, forewarning, there's a reasonable chance we dive into 3.0 and 3.0+1.0 there. i'm not going to make any promises because i haven't had time to watch movies this week, but it may happen.
