Paprika with Emily Yoshida
Come join the dream parade, folks - we\u2019re talking about Paprika! Mother of the Blankies Emily Yoshida is with us to chat about Satoshi Kon\u2019s final film - a film that FEELS like a swan song especially in hindsight. In this episode, we address the elephant in the room (those Inception comparisons), dive into the serialized story Paprika was based on, and Griffin makes the important connection between Paprika\u2019s \u201cDC mini\u201d device and this being a \u201cBC mini\u201d (series). Plus, we establish 2024 as \u201cThe Year of Dreams\u201d (Kon and Lynch on Blank Check!!), and Emily, Ben, and Griffin discuss their experience attending a special screening of Clifford with Martin Short himself. \xa0\nCheck out Shogun on FX and listen to Shogun: The Official Podcast hosted by Emily \xa0\nRead Emily\u2019s writing on Paprika\xa0\nPlease follow Hollywood Entertainment (the organizers of the Clifford screening mentioned on the episode)for upcoming screenings in LA (including a new residency at Heavy Manners Library), regular streaming programs (accessible everywhere), and a to-be-announced return to New York this fall.\xa0\nhttps://www.instagram.com/hollyw00dentertainment\xa0\nhttps://www.hollywood-entertainment.com/\xa0\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and X! \nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com \nLearn more about your ad choices.
