Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a (few) needle(s) in my eye... Today we are joined by THE ONLY FAN and future cult leader, Nav, to discuss Asami from the book and movie Audition.

Is Audition a feminist revenge plot, or does it reinforce misogyny in the character arc of Asami?

Did her retribution against Aoyama's betrayal seem justified, or were her deeds an overreaction?

And was she really a villain, or just tomorrow's heroine?

Give it a listen or we will take your feet.
