Ep. 37 - Paprika

About time for another foreign language film! This week Sawyer and Ben dive into the mind-bending dream world of Satoshi Kon's "Paprika."

Based on the 1993 sci-fi novel of the same name, this winding dream-caper follows the titular Paprika, an alter-ego dream detective working together with real-life detective Toshimi Konakawa to try to track down and stop a dream-terrorist who is seeking a new body, and dominion over the city now quite direly at risk...
