Description

What happens when a monster of the week show becomes an apocalypse of the week film franchise? Ian and Joseph are joined by critic Justin Charity of The Ringer's 'Sound Only' podcast to discuss the third and possibly best Rebuild film, Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo. In this, the season One (Point) Five finale, the hosts launch an all-out assault on Mari while praising the film's bold rethinking of the core Neon Genesis Evangelion premise - Maybe Shinji should (not) get in the robot after all!
Analysis: 10:49

The Human Instrumentality Podcast celebrates animated fiction from Japan - or, anime - that uses groundbreaking visual storytelling to tell unconventional and moving stories. Season 2, now airing, tells the story of of beloved director Satoshi Kon, whose brief-but-brilliant oeuvre includes “Perfect Blue” and Paranoia Agent.” Kon’s psychedelic and psychological parade of images and characters celebrate the animated film tradition and critique the society that created it – and the fans that enable its existence. Hosts Ian Cory and Joseph Schafer cover Kon's entire career, from his humble beginnings as a background artist on "Akira" to his final cinematic dreamscape, "Paprika." Season one, which finished in 2022, covered the animated television series "Neon Genesis Evangelion," unpacking its sometimes cryptic plot, and examining its unique place in pop culture history — it's so much more than a cartoon about teenagers and giant robots.
