This episode was paid for by special bean JaneQ via the Pick the Flick tier on our patreon. They picked it and we flicked it! Thanks, Jane! Disclaimer: this episode discusses sexual violence and abuse. It’s a film from beloved director Satoshi Kon that exhibits a great amount of empathy and examination of the male/celebrity gaze. It’s a complex narrative that is definitely worth a watch. This episode contains discussions of those scenes as well as a thorough discussion of how Adam became Abe’s dad.
