You Can (Not) Lament (MAGNETIC ROSE / 彼女の想いで [Memories, 1995] feat. Ben Collins & Luke Piotrowski)
Update: 2022-09-30
Description
It's our very first anime review on the pod! We thrilled to be reviewing "Magnetic Rose," the first segment of the 1995 cinematic anthology MEMORIES based on the works of Katsuhiro Otomo. And not only are we thrilled that our first anime on the pod has a screenplay by Satoshi Kon (PERFECT BLUE, PARANOIA AGENT), but we're joined by a pair of fabulous guests: Luke Piotrowski and Ben Collins! You know their screenwriting work from THE NIGHT HOUSE, SUPER DARK TIMES and more, but alongside Kevin Phillips they are also the hosts of Sync Ratios, a terrific Neon Genesis Evangelion podcast.
We've had such an amazing run of special guests since our pod began, but it was particularly fun to chat anime with two folks we're enormous fans of, and we really can't thank Ben and Luke enough for their time. We run down where you can currently find their feature films during the review (HELLRAISER arrives on Hulu on Oct 7th!), but we highly encourage any Evangelion fans to check out the Sync Ratios podcast.
And as always, thanks so much for listening!!
