Akira

<p>For the next installment of our #mixtape where we take a look at films that largely inspired the hit series Stranger Things, we explore a landmark work in animation: AKIRA. Featuring returning guest and continuity guru Steven Beckley, we unpack the myriad of ways this epic film of children with psychic powers, apocalyptic societies on the verge of collapse, and lots and lots of motorcycles has endured the test of time (while remaining eerily prophetic). &nbsp;</p><p>Also featuring an appearance by Lackey the Listicle counting down the greatest bicycle scenes in film history and a Patron only discussion about STRANGER THINGS, Season 4, Episode 7 with Quarterly Queen Jess Fischli, this is a thought-provoking and lively conversation that we hope you enjoy.</p><p>5:07 - Business Time</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/thefearofgodpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patron Only Segment</a>: STRANGER THINGS, Season 4, Episode 7 (featuring Jess Fischli) #tvguideposts</p><p>9:50 - AKIRA</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
