Apologies for the delay and the somewhat janky audio quality. (Saoli is away from her usual perch and has to make do with only her cell phone and sheer force of will.) This episode is all about the controversial Japanese film, "Battle Royale". It's more than just a story of the school field trip from hell. It's also a commentary on the pressures of adolescence, generational divides, and the changing societal norms of Japan in the late 20th century. But also, there's dick stabbing.
