Amazing Work Covering Satoshi Kon!!!
Proof that there’s no wrong way to order the works of Satoshi Kon!! All are masterpieces⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Please consider a season covering David Lynch!
Kubrick Series Was Great
I’ve been listening through the Kubrick ones over the past year or so. Great to revisit one of the greats and get some new perspectives and critics on the guy’s works.
Point is that podcasts are forever and I hope y’all don’t get discouraged because someone will eventually discover your hard work. Thanks for the company.
Top-Notch Analysis!!
