Episode 038: Robot Carnival (1987)

from Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast · host Genre Exposure

In this episode, we wrap up our series on anthology films with an obligatory Dustin-mandated anime episode. Stepping away from the world of horror, we gear up to dive into Science Fiction to check out Robot Carnival from 1987. With an all-star crew of nine prominent animators taking the director chair for their own segments, the film offers a buffet of varying themes, moods, and ideals. Michael continues to weigh out his complicated feelings toward anime. Jason seems unusually familiar with the various directors' hentai credits. Dustin prepared way too many notes and an on-air allergy attack threatens to end the show. And so much more!
