Podcasts about Satoshi Kon

Perfect Blue Ani-May continues on and this time we are looking back nearly 30 years to the classic psychological thriller that introduced the western world to the intricacies of Japanese Idol culture and unhealthy parasocial fandom in that sub-culture, all through the singular vision of the acclaimed director Satoshi Kon. Based loosely on the novel Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis by writer Yoshikazu Takeuchi, this film explores the trauma of sexual assault, the fear and uncertainty of dealing with stalkers, and the existential dread that comes from gaslighting and potential mental collapse from an unravelling reality. It is a far cry from the usual anime of the same time period and it remains as topical and relevant today as it was in 1997. Dion made the call for us to watch this, as he wanted a classic piece of Anime, what none of us were really prepared for was the uncompromising film that we watched. Jill was far more up to speed on the content and style while Quinny thought he'd seen it and then realised he probably hadn't. All of them had a lot to process from this episode. Please note the film does include some disturbing and graphic imagery of sexual assault, and our podcast does discuss the content. As such a heavy trigger warning if advised. Synopsis A pop singer gives up her career to become an actress, but she slowly goes insane when she starts being stalked by an obsessed fan and what seems to be a ghost of her past. https://youtu.be/BZ2cXEF3ar0 A huge shout-out to the beautiful flower children and hardened warriors who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

Missing Frames reaches another milestone: EPISODE 150! And another milestone episode means that Brad Gullickson is back in the guest seat watching one of Shawn's favorite movies for the very first time: master filmmaker Satoshi Kon's final film PAPRIKA. Shawn and Brad discuss the film's brilliance, its beauty, its heart, and its all-around bonkers story (which Christopher Nolan more than likely snagged some inspiration from for his 2010 film Inception). They also chat about Satoshi Kon's legacy as a filmmaker and what makes Paprika such a special entry in his brilliant filmography.HOSTSShawn EastridgeBrad Gullickson

I am fulfilling another Patreon promise, and bringing you our review of Paprika.  The second Satoshi Kon movie we are covering on this show.  Here is a very strange film, one that royally confused me.  This is a movie that wants you to pay attention and understand what the crazy complex plot is.  A movie that i feel is not for everyone.  Come hear us break down this movie and what we think. Starring Mike Albertin, Joe Butler, Joseph Larrey, Carson and John.

She's the fairest but she isn't always the brightest. We get into the making of and nitty gritty details of 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the FIRST DISNEY ANIMATED FEATURE FILM. As we talk plot and marvel at this animated classic, we also ask the hard questions: Did inhaling a bar of soap kill Dopey? Is Grumpy just a misogynist? What kind of message does this movie send to girls and women... and to men too?

Bevor David Productions sich einer Adaption aller JoJo-Teile annahm, gab es in den 90ern und 2000ern eine Teiladaption in Form von OVAs, die Part 3: Stardust Crusaders umsetzten. Diese hat Lukas auch noch nicht gesehen, und deshalb sprechen die beiden über die Besonderheiten, Unterschiede zur modernen Umsetzung, warum Takehito Koyasu als Dio einfach unersetzbar ist und was Satoshi Kon eigentlich damit zu tun hatte. Danach freut sich Lukas noch einmal über "Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan" reden zu können, das genau seinen Geschmack trifft. Dabei fragen wir uns: Ist es eine wahre Geschichte? Oder ist sie nicht komplett gelogen. Ihr Rohan Kishibe.

Together over the festive period Lewis really wanted to watch so for the first podcast release of the year Ian and Lewis review Satoshi Kon's classic 2003 movie Tokyo Godfathers.

Be of good cheer, Podsiders! We talk about Satoshi Kon's humane and incredibly funny Tokyo Godfathers (2003) this time around, and Chris and I agree: it's a Christmas movie classic

Emilio, Julian, and Madeline wrap up their “Holiday Suggestion/Gift Box” mini-cycle with Satoshi Kon's penultimate work, “Tokyo Godfathers” (2003). Rather than gold, frankincense, and myrrh, our three hosts come bearing different personal histories with the art form of anime. They discuss the benefits and challenges of this storytelling medium, and dive into the burning questions: were the actions that ostracized our protagonists really that bad? What do the serendipitous events of this movie mean? And, of course, could this film have been made as live action?If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

We're podcasters, not action movie stars! That's right, we're finally breaking the seal on one of Nick's favourite directors with our second holiday episode: Satoshi Kon's TOKYO GODFATHERS from 2003.It's probably Kon's most conventional film, but he brings in his reality-blurring style nonetheless. We're discussing John Ford's influence, society's marginalized populations, and the emotions we dip into when we're trying to mask or find love.Nick gets deep into how the realism is enhanced & broken with animation and sound design flourishes, and Erin has a Baileys update! Plus, we're speculating about what happens to these characters after the cameras stop rolling, a testament to how fully-realized these titular Godfathers are.Next time: our 2024 in review! So just watch every movie that came out this year and you'll be prepped.

Imagine uncovering the magic of Satoshi Kon's 'Tokyo Godfathers', a film where humor and heart converge in the bustling streets of Tokyo. That's exactly what we're doing in this month's edition of 'International Feature'. Together, we confront our initial doubts about older anime and celebrate the timeless charm of this 2003 classic.As we discuss this unconventional Christmas story, we unravel the intricate dynamics between three compelling characters and their miraculous journey with an unexpected child. The film weaves themes of homelessness and family estrangement into a tapestry that resonates with universal appeal. We acknowledge its emotional depth and character development and marvel at Satoshi Kon's ability to balance humor and darker themes, crafting a narrative that's both entertaining and thought-provoking. Our take on how Tokyo Godfathers compares to other holiday films adds a fresh perspective to the season's lineup.We're inviting everyone to join our growing community, with plenty of bonus content available and special perks for our Patreon supporters. With new episodes dropping every Wednesday, there's always something to look forward to.Letterbox'd Synopsis:  On Christmas Eve, three homeless people living on the streets of Tokyo discover a newborn baby among the trash and set out to find its parents.

Tis the season to discuss sad-man holiday movies and this year we're kicking things off with 2003's "Tokyo Godfathers," written and directed by Satoshi Kon.In addition to talking about this urban holiday odyssey. we also discuss: Christmas in Japan; fried turkey; the concept of God; godfathers; and too many Tom anecdotes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the Holiday Season. We're here with what has become the Gartbage's annual holiday tradition: a Shane Black film set at Christmastime. This year, it's Black-penned but Renny Harlin-directed THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT from 1996!Our gift this year is getting to respectfully discuss Geena Davis' biceps, our favourite Samuel L Jackson performances, their amazing chemistry, and Brian Cox's proclivity for aiding amnesiacs. In addition to how we feel about the specific subgenres to which this belongs--spy coming out of retirement & misanthropic buddy action comedy--we also get pretty nerdy about Alan Silvestri's soundtracks.Plus, Erin has a holiday trivia segment for Nick! Will he remember enough about Shane Black's filmography & amnesia-based films to win? Listen to find out!NEXT TIME: our second holiday episode on Satoshi Kon's most normal film: 2003's TOKYO GODFATHERS.

"Who am I?" It's anime this week, so we're discussing the classic film from Satoshi Kon, Perfect Blue.

Wiz HIGHLY RECOMMENDS Suzume I try to make sure not to curse in my reviews: it's just kind of lame and it never really gets the point across most times. But I have to do it with this movie because it's the only way to emphasize my points succinctly enough: From animation to visuals to the emotional story, Suzume is fucking beautiful. The film starts as a fun action adventure road trip film with a cute, lovable main character and a sidekick who is a chair. It's filled with humor, heart and just a fun and sweet story. Then, the second half rolls around and it becomes an emotionally poignant film about loss and grief. The tone at first seems incredibly abrupt, but it makes up for it at the end with a powerfully done ending that had me more than emotional towards the end. But the other obvious thing to talk about is the visuals: they are simply stunning. Whether it's the animation of the characters and their faces to the colors of the sky, ground and grass, Suzume is a visual knockout of a film. And RADWIMPS is back with yet another great song to pair with the film, like they did in Your Name. Suzume may just be the film that will have non-anime fans really remembering the name Makoto Shinkai like they do with Hayao Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon, thanks to it's breathtaking visuals and effective storytelling. It has all the heart of some of the best Ghibli films with Shinkai's incredible animation and music selection. This film deserves to be mentioned amongst Spirited Away, Paprika and Grave of the Fireflies as some of Japan's best films in the past 50 years. Yes...it's that good.

We review Perfect Blue. This classic is one of Satoshi Kon's masterpieces, and it's about time we talk about it. No matter how weird, eerie, or freaky this movie gets, the most mind-blowing thing is how much the story was ahead of its time. We discuss the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, the themes of parasocial relationships and fandom, and the nostalgia of seeing 90s technology.

Ben, Cory, and Noah join the dream parade to discuss the animated classic, set in 2006's near-future. Directed by Satoshi Kon, co-written by Satoski Kon and Seishi Minakami, and based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui.

Your poorly drawn hosts talk about the Japanese anime movie PAPRIKA (2006) directed by Satoshi Kon. It's a wild romp involving dreams and dreams within dreams and dreams commingling and dreams blending into reality. And it's kind of a murder mystery. This is classic Unsane therapy of the cartoon kind. LINKSWee Freekz FBUnsane Radio WebsiteTarr … Continue reading "Unsane Radio 0276 – Paprika"

Send us a Text Message.PAPRIKAFor the final episode of Season 12 Nolan Void, the TGTPTU gents get timey-wimy as they repeat last season finale with another film from anime director Satoshi Kon also allegedly plagiarized by the season's director, this time Kon's final flick PAPRIKA (2006) and Nolan's Inception rather than Black Swan stealing from Perfect Blue (Kon's first film, almost as if TGTPTU were considering a temporal pincer movement on the Japanese director who tragically died far too young after only four films).  This week, rookie host Ryan tries his hand at his first 60-second summary of this simple, straight-forward, extremely grounded plot of Paprika based on the 1993 novel of the same name. In short, the film takes place in an unexplained near future with technology that allows its cast of characters to share dreams and their experience therein blurs the waking world with a plot involving corporate espionage and a Japanese CEO, but in all the ways that Nolan's Inception does not.  After their PAPRIKA discussion finding no merit in the accusations of Sir Chris ripping off Kon, TGTPTU roundtables to rank Nolan's dozen flicks from folly to finest (although all four find all twelve quite good). Former host Jack returns from hammer murder accusations to join in the fun, counterbalancing fellow aspiring-Zoomer Thomas's rankings with an alt take for their entire generation. Ken has the boys contemplate future Nolan franchises, Ryan offers an astute comparison between Miami Vice vs Heat for two of Nolan's films, and we get the first mention of Mike, Thomas's side piece. And if that weren't enough, the “you may know us from other podcasts” bit gets officially retired.  Oh, and there's more: Weird AI presents its original Oppenheimer composition two weeks past deadline and the next season of the pod is announced (which, if no one promises to listen, will cover Bryan Singer's oeuvre; otherwise, we'll return later in the summer for another 4x4). THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

This week, Sam, Diana, and Christie, explore the fascinating world of Satoshi Kon's Paprika, aligning with the July theme of exploring bodies and the media. Discover why Paprika is a favorite of Sam's as she shares her own experiences with the movie and offers insight into the significance of Kon's work in Asian cinema. They explore the themes of dreams and Jungian psychology, parts work, multiple realities and subjectivities, as well as how some scenes reminded them of EMDR. Stay tuned for next week's episode when we'll discuss Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express.

It's episode 290…and the Internet and dreams are similar. They're areas where the repressed conscious mind escapes. Paprika (2006) follows its titular dream-based protagonist, and her real-life alter ego Dr Atsuko Chiba, as she administers a futuristic form of therapy using a prototype device called the DC Mini. However, when so-called ‘Dream Terrorists' steal the devices and use it to run rampant through other people's dreams with disastrous results, it's up to Dr Chiba and her motley crue of scientists to find them before it's too late. We break down the second half of Anime horror/Satoshi Kon/'films that Hollywood sort of remade with just enough changes to avoid a lawsuit' season (what could this film about a device that allows you to invade other people's dreams have inspired I wonder?) and discuss the joys and pains of a creative portrayal of limitless dreamspace, characters both paper thin and fatphobic, and rank spices/condiments based on Joe's usage relative to Ketchup and Mayo. Plus, what would make Chris finally commit to buying a neuralink? All of which leads to one question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: The shade of the tree with the flowers that bloom at night is where the residents of darkness rest. The people of daytime are not allowed! Next time on the main feed, it's Spider season, with creepy-crawly classic Arachnophobia (1990).

[Content Note: Parts of this episode do involve discussion on rape and sexual assault in the context of this film] This is a preview of a patreon bonus episode! Check out the full episode here! -------- Aaron (@afrocosmist) returns to the pod this week to talk about Satoshi Kon's debut anime film, 'Perfect Blue'. Released in 1997, Kon's film is an examination of a former J-Pop star trying to make it as an actor, and in the process finding herself in caught up in multiple identity crises spirals, as well as a string of murders. Considered one of the greatest anime films of the 90s, we talk about its exploration of early internet culture, its poignant observations of mass surveillance, and Kon's editing styles, splicing through the film's various timelines, give the viewer a profound sense of unease. We also talk about the film's impact on Western cinema, in particular, David Aaronofsky, who used Perfect Blue as inspiration for Requiem for a Dream three years later. -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

How to Survive is now on Patreon! Support us at Patreon.com/HowtoSurvivePod to get every episode one week early, plus monthly bonus episodes and more. It's episode 289…and you're tarnished and filthy. Perfect Blue (1997) follows the story of Mima, a Japanese pop idol who gives up singing at the advice of her management in order to pursue an acting career instead. What follows is a descent into paranoia and doubt as Mima begins to lose track of who she is, all as mysterious murders occur in her vicinity. Part one of Anime Horror/inspiration for legally distinct Hollywood movie season kicks off with a bang, as we discuss an artful treatise on the nature of identity, the often problematic sexualisation of young women in Japanese media, whether truck drivers should be more urgent with braking and well-trodden path of Disney actor to sexually explicit pop star. All of which leads to one question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: illusions can't come to life. Next time on the main feed, we're watching another Satoshi Kon staple with Paprika (2006), while it's Red Dot (2021) on the Patreon bonus feed.
