This week we bring you the final film we will cover in Season 4 and only our second anime film: Katsuhiro Otomo’s “Akira”. Join the gang as Britt hits her sweet spot with both “Britt’s Literary Corner” and her anime knowledge, we discuss the controversial ending, and just how cool this movie is. Also, did Adam only watch this with the dubbing on? Is 1988 the year animation “went clear”? Plus, this week Joey recommends Jordan Peele’s “Nope” (on Prime), Adam recommends the Zoom-horror film “Host” (on Shudder & AMC+), and Britt recommends a different anime film – “Paprika” (on MUBI & The Criterion Channel).
