208. Perfect Blue

Published: Sept. 30, 2024, 2:51 p.m.

We review Perfect Blue. This classic is one of Satoshi Kon\u2019s masterpieces, and it\u2019s about time we talk about it. No matter how weird, eerie, or freaky this movie gets, the most mind-blowing thing is how much the story was ahead of its time. We discuss the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, the themes of parasocial relationships and fandom, and the nostalgia of seeing 90s technology.
