Oldtaku no Radio #038 – Perfect Blue

The works of Satoshi Kon are few but powerful, and his
directorial debut, Perfect Blue, is no exception. This adaptation
of Yoshikazu Takeuchi’s novel, Perfect Blue: Complete
Metamorphosis, is a psychological thriller that follows the
career of pop star and aspiring actress Kirigoe Mima. It’s biting
commentary on idol culture and the ugly dangers therein. Join
Jared and Ink and special guest Phillip as they dance around
spoilers to bring you a deep dive into a deep film.
