This week, Dana, Steve, and Julia discuss Peterloo, considering director Mike Leigh’s approach to the notorious 1819 massacre and how he prevents the historical drama from ever feeling like a period piece. Next, the hosts talk to producer Benjamin Frisch about Neon Genesis Evangelion, the landmark anime that’s just become (officially) accessible to English-speaking audiences for the first time in years. Finally, Dan Kois joins the show to reminisce about Mad Magazine, which is set to cease publication after 67 years. The gabbers share what they each learned from the humor magazine growing up and speculate about what’s filling that void for kids in 2019.
