In this episode, we compare the brilliant 1988 anime film Akira, and A Talking Cat!?! (2013), a children’s film that was directed by a man who is more known for his softcore porn films. Also: the cat is voiced by Eric Roberts. Through discussing the similarities between the two films, we discover that they are both about god-like figures with psychic powers, and both films are existential meditations on world war two that take place in a Shakespearean post-apocalyptic techno-dystopia. It's true!
