Episode 3: Full Metal Tetsuo
Two weeks in the making and now yours for the taking!
In our third episode, we (Josh and Coffin Jon) ponder the technophobia of Shinya Tsukamoto’s seminal cyberpunk film Tetsuo – The Iron Man. Also included are our Netflix Instant recommendations, Twitter question about postmodern film, listener feedback, and more film talk then you might care to listen to but too bad because the show is free and really, what else are you doing on a Friday night anyway?
