S1E22 - Perfect Blue (Anime, 1997)

CONTENT WARNING: THIS FILM CONTAINS GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT. PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Perfect Blue is an incredibly deep and introspective film in a different vein than many of the movies that we talk about. It provides commentary and thought on parts of our psyche that we may not even realize are there: fanaticism, self-image, and performative presentation. It's a great movie really but it's hard to dissect initially (at least for us). This has proven to be one of our most difficult episodes but we cover as much ground as we can in an hour and a half! Enjoy!
