All aboard, anime fans! Join us as we punch our ticket to space adventure, science fantasy, and beautiful melancholy. Listener, you're on a one way train to a three hour discussion of 1979's Galaxy Express 999 The Movie! We talk about Leiji Matsumoto, the Leijiverse, Rintaro, and some of the notable seiyuu. We discuss Maetel, Tetsuro, Emeraldas, Harlock, and all your favorites. We get into this film as a story about class struggle, Matsumoto's depictions of women, and how certain scenes affected us now that the original creator of the Leijiverse is sadly no longer with us.

Hello, friends! We actually released two pods this month! Who'd have guessed it could happen again? This episode we are talking about the 2019 Noah Baumbach film "Marriage Story" starring Matoko Kusanagi and Kylo Ren! In all seriousness, we both really liked this movie and we hope you enjoy our chat about how it goes in on the American legal system, what we thought of all the performances, how the film is disarmingly funny at times (often because of its subject matter rather than in spite of it), stimulates reflections on relationships and fatherhood, and just generally creates awareness and empathy in us.
