Monday May 12, 2025
Monday May 12, 2025
In Today's Episode, Otaku Nate, Rayce, Jeremy Kaufman and Kat talk about (Or try to talk about) the 2001 Collaboration film between Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto (Sort of): Interstella 5555! This is our most off the rails show yet, and we talk about everything BUT the movie...and yet somehow we still come out giving our thoughts about it! Everything from Leiji Matsumoto's involvement (or Lack thereof), Daft Punk's "Discovery" and its use of sampling, Albums we'd love to see as feature-length anime films, the movie's "Unfortunate" restoration, and why Otaku Nate hated Daft Punk growing up! So get a good set of headphones on and get ready to celebrate and dance so free with an episode longer than the movie itself!
P.S. The Romanthony Song Nate plays during the episode is called "Miami."
