In fact, this is another one of those weeks where we suggest that ALL of our fans go out and see this film before listening to the episode. Its charms – and there are many – will be best experienced if you don’t go into it knowing much about it, much less a play-by-play of the plot. You’ve come this far with us. You can trust us. This is worth your time.
All you need to know is in the title. We follow the exploits of an “Engineer Hunter” in the madcap and bloody world of the future, where the Tokyo Police are privatized and brutal, hunting mutants who grow weapons from damaged body parts. It’s as crazy as it sounds.
It’s a bleak story, but we both seemed to like it a lot better on the second go-round. Listen to also discover how it compares with the Japanese original. Shout out to loyal listener, Jordan, for this week’s request. Thank you!
