Doll who recently read Kimmy also getting Kimmy vibes from this movie. Love that your mind went here too x. To add in an edit, if anyone does consider reading Kimmy, quite a few trigger warnings to be aware of, it's very dark but also romantic

im so glad you guys had Lily on!! i love her channel

Hearing this made me want to watch this film!! This was a really interesting episode. If you liked this movie and want similar themes from a novel except intentionally trans by a trans writer and with a brighter ending, I'd really recommend 'Kimmy' by Alyson Greaves! Listening to this I was just like "oh the Kimmy vibes, the Kimmy vibes!". It's robots instead of dolls, but the 'dehumanisation & gender' theme is similarly strong.

Anyone else having this episode cut out at the 12:48 minutes left mark?

I won't be able to watch this movie anytime soon (seeing SA is too triggering for me) so I wanted to thank you for this episode because your discussion about it was amazing and very heartfelt. I was on the verge of tears from the moment of 'where is my birthday cake' and up until the end.

I'm a man now but cute nb frog icon can stay

So not related to this specific episode but! I know it's important not to violate the Egg Prime Directive. Let them figure it out for themselves and such. But I do recommend eggs this podcast when I'm Pretty Sure they are eggs. If they are actually cis, they get a good podcast. And if they ain't, that shell won't survive y'all lol

Did anyone else immediately imagine the doll as the autopilot from Airplane?

Chibigodzilla

Speaking of psychic damage, the line "*Something About Mary* is supposed to be really funny."

Pamela Ehrlich

I have to see this movie! Thank you, you wonderful clever gorgeous funny women. You make these days easier. I love you in a healthy parasocial way😉

Apple Cider Vinegar

fantastic episode and fantastic guest appearance. Please have Lily Alexandre back on sometime!!

Rosemary Selth

Agreed, absolutely stunning movie.

CrystalMagicWeapon

Finally, a Strand type movie lmao

The artist who did the soundtrack for this movie has done a TON of incredible work. Check out hurtbreak wonderland by world's end girlfriend for one of the prettiest/most aching albums out there bar none

55:35 "I met god. And he said I'm a hole" hit me like a brick

Tanaumi

Didn’t realize this was the same director as monster. That movie wrecked me, please watch it as a bonus some time.

Nah

Great episode, great filmmaker, great guest appearance, forced to take 20hp psychic damage every time the folks almost but not quite nail the particularly Japanese things at play here. Also the konbini egg sandwiches are pretty good but the real move is French-inspired Japanese bakeries - I'm back home now but my heart yearns for bougie bakery currypan.

Nah

Oh, as a woman who Japanese men use as sexual substitutes? Deliberate or not, it's there in the text and so fair game.

Sublight Monster

Probably very deliberately meaningful that her name is Nozomi, meaning “desire” or “wish”. Possibly also a deliberate choice to heighten the sense of alienation by casting a Korean actress (Bae Doona) in a movie set in a Japanese town with all Japanese actors?

Donovan Burns

Oh I had forgotten that I had pirated this movie at random and it really wrecked my shit while on a transatlantic flight. I was expecting a Pinocchio romcom not The Little Match Girl meets Romeo and Juliette.

Jacob King

Frankensteinian?

Ineloquent Reverie

YO THE GUY IS FUCKING TACHIBANA FROM YAKUZA 0

Doctor of Entomemeology

Loving these movie recommendations that I can inflict on my vanilla and unsuspecting partner. Also, as an entomologist I hate that people are like 'x fly only lives x time' No. They have a larval stage (maggots, glow-worms etc). Argh!

Giving someone the Sherman's aux and blaring the Cars 2 soundtrack at the Wehrmacht

Man the description of the scene at 1:00:00 has me tearing up

The Curious Case of Caley V

Which as we know is a film about being trans. Oddball is 100% transmasc coded

Prince Jade

I really should listen to the whole intro before commenting huh

Prince Jade

I clicked on this episode having HORRIBLY misread the title. I was expecting a fun ride through the movie Air Bud, à la Cats & Dogs 2

Noblesse Oblahaj

Now that we're entering Heist Season, I gotta ask: are we doing Kelly's Heroes?

Daniel Berryman

Also, the line "surrounded by all of this imperfect and terrible love, with all of its horrible consequences" goes hard as all fuck, goddamn.

Daniel Berryman

This was really great, lots of interesting analysis I really enjoyed. Lily was an excellent guest also! (An episode on Poor Things would be pretty great, I think about it every time you all mention it.)

Athena Von Tharsis

Thirty mins in and this is landing danger close, I do love having a memory. Think this is one to listen to in company.

Andrew Dunn

Well now I need them to cover Truman Show, an almost explicitly Satanist (in the Promethean sense) movie (Ok it would have made more sense to say Luciferian instead of Promethean but I figure Prometheus is well known enough. Fuck it, it's an explicitly Paradise Lostian movie)
