This episode was paid for by special bean JaneQ via the Pick the Flick tier on our patreon. They picked it and we flicked it! Thanks, Jane!Disclaimer: this episode discusses sexual violence and abuse. It’s a film from beloved director Satoshi Kon that exhibits a great amount of empathy and examination of the male/celebrity gaze. It’s a complex narrative that is definitely worth a watch. This episode contains discussions of those scenes as well as a thorough discussion of how Adam became Abe’s dad.Features:Adam Ganser: https://bsky.app/profile/ganz.bsky.socialMichael Swaim: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelswaim.bsky.socialAbe Epperson: https://bsky.app/profile/abeepp.bsky.socialSupport Small Beans and access Additional Content: https://www.patreon.com/SmallBeansCheck our store to buy Small Beans merch! https://www.teepublic.com/stores/the-small-beans-store
