Ep. 460 - Manic Pixie Dream Girl (Paprika)
God, isn't it so satisfying to finish something? Films are better than TV that way. ...and we've also managed to finish Satoshi Kon's film catalog this week, since we finally cover Paprika. Is it all it's cracked up to be? Did Christopher Nolan rip it off? Does it have the worst English-language tagline for an anime of all time? Listen and find out.
