Akira (1988) synopsis: “A secret military project endangers Neo-Tokyo when it turns a teenage biker gang member into a rampaging psychic psychopath who can only be stopped by his best friend.”

Starring: Cam Clarke, Jan Rabson, Lara Cody, and Tony Pope

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review the cyberpunk cult classic, Akira! A movie that is near and dear to Corey’s heart, but this is Zak’s first time watching it. Listen now to hear what Zak thought of this anime milestone, and if he ever finds out just who Akira actually is (no, it’s not Kaneda like he thought it was going to be based on the poster)!

Starring: Donna Wilkes, Rory Calhoun, Dick Shawn, and John Diehl
Director: Robert Vincent O'Neil

This leaves lots of room for David to talk about how Angel and other 80s movies helped misinform his perception of the United States while growing up in the UK lol
