It gets abstract this week on the podcast, as we watch Mamoru Oshii's semi-forgotten anime film, Angel's Egg, from 1985. We also talk about Anatomy of a Fall, loads of 80s bands, Peeps, and the Silverball pinball museum of Asbury Park NJ. |

Thanks to a Patreon supporter, it's finally time to dip our toes into the world of Lupin III - and to check out the first Miyazaki movie: The Castle of Cagliostro. We also talk about corporate transparency (vis-a-vis the baffling Steel Ball Run release schedule) and the flexatone. |

[Go to 17:14 for SBR Episode 2-ish talk]

In a strange twist of fate, we got episode 2 of Steel Ball Run a lot earlier than we thought. It's pretty out there, but after the ending of part 6, all bets must be off! We may just have to consider this part of Araki's strange genius. Besides covering episodes 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 of SBR, we also talk about Alyssa Liu's first pitch, game tutorials, what goes on in Netflix boardrooms, and what animes will tide us over while we wait for SBR to bring us back to the old West. |
