Happy Wednesday Screenagers! The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist is back with more movie magic. This week, we’re talking Akira.
Happy listening, screenagers!
Episode 47: Akira (1988)
This one is for all of the cyberpunks and self proclaimed “weebs”. Jacob and Sailor join Raf for a colorful discussion about arguably the most important anime movie ever made. It’s one of Sailor’s favorite movies and a movie that Jacob hadn’t seen until last week, but both appreciate it’s influence across pop culture. And yes, we do talk about the famous “Akira bike slide”.
