The AMP Reviews Memories Part 3: Cannon Fodder (1995)

<p>On this episode, Cat and Joe wrap up Katsuhiro Otomo’s Memories anthology with the third, final and shortest film in the canon, Cannon Fodder, directed by Otomo himself. The AMP team gets low-key philosophical exploring this bleak war-focused dystopian future short through discussing Carl Schmitt’s ideas of using a common enemy to wield political power and Michel Foucault’s ideas about the all-seeing panopticon as a metaphor for control and discipline in modern society. Cat and Joe have a final discussion about Memories as a whole and what connects these three films as a cohesive collection, and give their final AMP numbers both for Cannon Fodder, and for the entire Memories anthology.</p> <p>Memories is available for purchase on DVD and Blu-Ray wherever anime is sold, and you can also stream it on Tubi and Amazon Prime in certain regions.</p>
