My Sister, Evangelion, and Me - Podcast - UNIT 17 AND 18 - "FOURTH CHILD" AND "AMBIVALENCE"

An episode-by-episode analysis of the anime series and films, in which I, Josh, try to convince my non-anime watching sister, Steph, that Hideaki Anno’s 1995 anime Neon Genesis Evangelion and subsequent films, End of Evangelion and the Rebuild of Evangelion series is one of the greatest compilations of modern art and media made in our lifetime.
Each podcast features a beat by beat review of two episodes of the series interspersed with our own cultural and media reference and critique. Josh is a full-time media producer (and occasional critic). Steph is a literary obsessive and librarian. Both of us have nearly 15 year old degrees in media studies. So we’re mega qualified to do this.

(Ohhhh. “Ambivalence”. I GET IT!) It’s some serious dark times on the child soldier battlefields full of guttural screams from Shinji.…
