Immortality is the theme of our second episode as we compare the 2007 anime series Baccano with its inspiration, the 1987 Brian De Palma gangster flick The Untouchables. We’ve got a cops and robbers story on the one hand and a gangsters versus alchemists story on the other. Tune in as we discuss the enduring legend of the gangster.
FYI for the confused: the Mister Tea referred to in the recording is the husband of our podcaster TeaRex and not the pro wrestler who starred in The A-Team.
The first episode of PodCastle In The Sky is here!
Our podcast compares and contrasts anime titles with other parts of culture. In this episode we look at GONZO’s animated series Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, produced back in 2004 and adapted from Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
Audio quality is a bit rough in this first episode, but it’s something we’ve already set about improving for episode two. New episodes of Podcastle in the Sky will be rolled out every month, with a broad and eclectic range of subjects already lined up for the coming year. We hope you enjoy the discussion!
