    Perfect Blue - FYHOD #14

Resident anime aficionado Allen Ortega joins for an extremely in-depth look at the first feature film of Satoshi Kon's tragically-short career.

Her very own Twin Peaks "Invitation to Love" known as Double Bind serves a televisual mirror, and a portal into darkest depths of depravity inflicted by the entertainment industry.
