After far too long of a hiatus Luke, Ben, and Kevin return to discuss Evangelion 2.22

Kevin Phillips joins Ben and Luke again to continue the discussion of the first Neon Genesis Evangelion "rebuild movies".

Ben and Luke are joined again by Kevin Phillips, this time to discuss the first of the Neon Genesis Evangelion rebuild movies. This is the first of a two part discussion.

We're back at last to begin coverage of the New Theatrical Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy! But first, a supersize welcome back episode exploring the “lost” live action segments from End of Evangelion, the parody audio drama “After the End” and the bizarre pitch document detailing mech designer Ikuto Yamashita’s ideas for the end of the original show from his book, Sore o Nasumono. (Both the live action segments and a photo-accompanied translation of the audio drama are readily available on YouTube if you want to come prepared)

It all returns to nothing.

Kevin Phillips returns to join Ben and Luke for the deep breath before the plunge, the experimental, free-association recap movie that is... Death (true)^2!

Ben & Luke answer listener questions, choosing favorite episodes and moments, sharing sci fi and anime recommendations, and examining the promise/fulfillment of Rei Ayanami’s narrative arc.
