After our live show at Old Major, we sit down and talk about our immediate impressions of seeing the first 3 episodes of Evangelion. This is both our first times, so we do some newbie theories, and then we talk about the nature of reintroducing a classic to a new audience. TheWolvesDen also mentions the classic Black Choir performance of Cruel Angel's Thesis : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfd_4LHzNHY. Sit back and hear some newbies jump into this classic.
We spend this episode trying to nail all the main elements of Mafioso Hip-Hop. We talk about the tropes, stylistic qualities and the culture of the cinema of the time period that birthed it. We had to get someone who listened to rap live at the time of the seminal releases! So today's episode features none other than music writer Stereo Williams.
