Manage episode 335316068 series 3288693
Joined by Jonah in this episode - who not just has the same name as Swade but also was always destined to be Swade's bestie. Jonah lives in the middle of nowhere and explains his lifestyle to us. (00:05:06) Walter is hungover today so the introduction changes between different conversations like cultural appropriation and Mario's cucking fetish. (00:14:30) After a little bit of an awkward start, Fake Film Fans discusses the Korean film "Space Sweepers" which is directed by Jo Sung-hee. We explore the wide array of characters in the film and they symbols they present. Swade also cried to the ending of this film which Walter brushes off rudely. (00:30:15) "Space Sweepers" reminds Walter of the manga "Planetes" because they are both about space janitors. Jonah thinks Space Sweepers is super similar anime in general but Walter and Swade disagree. (00:48:15) Walter feels the marketing of "Space Sweepers" as a blockbuster is interesting because the term blockbuster feels Western. However, it seems that "Space Sweepers" does challenge the Western world in its own way. (00:59:57) Finally, Jonah shares a bit about his business of book binding so you should definitely support it!
