The question before the Film Nerds is simple: To Act or Not Act!
On this week's episode, BK & Jack take a look and the most influential work of Japanese animation of all time - a film so pivotal that it has become a ubiquitous reference for all modern science fiction since. Hear the history of how this tale of atomic devastation came to be, from the sobering history of the end of the Second World War through to Japan's reconciliation with its nuclear trauma through art; how director Katsuhiro Otomo's divinely-inspired journey from childhood manga-lover to world-renowned artist; how a culture-defining manga became a culture-defining film; and much, much more besides!
Neo Toyko is about to change, and the Film Nerds are hear to lead you through the chaos!
