Ep 026 // Paprika

Published: May 24, 2021, noon

Our anonymous co-host picks this Japanese anime about dreams and it did a number on Jacob's brain. Our anonymous co-host picked this film because there was a rumor that it is what inspired Christopher Nolan in making Inception. We find that rumor to be a bit of a stretch. Additionally, the boys try to dissect the poems in the film and the meaning of the main characters dreams (with an emphasis on "try"), and talk about how dark and creepy the film is overall. Especially the parade music. Next time you have a bad dream, you better hope Paprika is there to save it.

This movie was directed by Satoshi Kon.
