This week, for our Host's Pick Summer Movie series, Dietz has chosen the classic sci-fi anime film, Akira! We do our best to unpack this gem, while guest host Preston McFarlin of the Rocketto Punchi podcast offers his thoughts on how it compares to the manga that it is based on.  

Next week will be Nick's pick: David Lynch's surrealist nightmare from 1977, Eraserhead!
