Anime 101

Anime 101

Author: Pop Culture Junkie July 18, 2024 Duration: 1:02:07
Olivia is deep in her obsession with all things Game of Thrones, going down rabbit holes about the lore and boning up on her knowledge for a GoT trivia night! Shauna's appreciation of the acting skills of Fabien Frankel (House of the Dragon's Ser Crispy Creme) because he is an awesome villain leads her to want to play a villain - if she wins an Emmy, being hated would be worth it! And both Junkies agree that having this podcast is a wonderful outlet for all the pop culture thoughts that fill their heads on a daily basis. Then, Shauna is out to make Olivia a fan of anime - or at least like it a little. She fills her (and us!) in on the history and different types of anime, then gets Olivia's honest review of three shows: Attack on Titan, My Dress-Up Darling, and that quintessential series, Dragon Ball Z.
