After our summer hiatus, we are back with a special episode on one of the most audacious, provocative and downright gorgeous anime films of the 1990s, Ikuhara Kunihiko's Adolescence of Utena (1999).  Joined by special guest Nikita Helewa, we chat about the film's status as a feminist text, a ostentatious directorial statement, a self-critical series ender, an unending source of eye candy, and a timeless meditation on gender, sexuality and transition...with cars. 

We also wonder why Chris cannot stop talking about Evangelion?
