Taylor Swift, "Ghost of Yōtei," "Perfect Blue" (1998), MoistCr1TiKaL and Fan Entitlement

This week I tell Jallah I've started watching a new Shonen classic, Chainsaw Man and he fills me in on the new "Ghosts of Yotai" videogame he's been playing. Then, we discuss one of my favorite anime films, "Perfect Blue" directed by Satoshi Kon. The episode closes with our thoughts on fandom itself.
