End of Evangelion
Is Shinji truly the “lowest of the low” for doing…. you know? Or is he going a bit too far acting out the dreams of his Jungian Shadow Self? Is Miss Misato a sicko pedo? Or are you the weird lil’ freak? Let’s dive in and find out in our analysis of End of Evangelion. We quantify that Human Instrumentality with a giant Rei Ayanami mom figure would be a way cooler way to go out than nuclear war. Most importantly, Josh will emphatically state his strong case for this film being Anno holding an ugly mirror up to his most ardently passionate fans. It’s a pretty good one. Kendrick Lamar and Hideaki Anno have the same message for us: I made you think about it, but I am not your savior. It’s not your fault. But it is your responsibility. Go outside. Make a friend. Touch grass. Anno points two big middle fingers up at all of us as we analyze End of Evangelion to wrap a bow on it and put the original series to bed. But stay subscribed to this feed as we have plans to potentially put out special episodes revisiting Evangelion, other Anno works, or semi-related media as we feel and may do a 2nd Season covering the Rebuild series eventually.

Unit 25 and 26 - "Do You Love Me?" and "Take Care of Yourself"
Human Instrumentality has arrived! Will Shinji accept or reject its call? Also… what in the heck is it anyway? We’ll explore all this and so much more in our final installment of this series analysis! Misato’s shame, Asuka’s loneliness, Shinji’s self-hatred, and Rei’s uhhh… whole being a weird doll clone thing issue. All of it gets resolved by HUMAN INSTRUMENTALITY. We’ll also discuss these final episodes as a textbook case for the merits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, awakening the human consciousness for a new Earth in the style of Eckhart Tolle, the overlaps of Anno’s ego breaking animated journey of the self with modern existentialist writer’s like Samuel Beckett and more brainy stuff. It’s a doozy of a ride. Hope it’s worth the wait! Support the show: Patreon, Venmo or CashApp

Unit 23 and 24 - "Rei III" and "The Beginning and the End"
Mission Control: We are here to report that we’ve discovered quality gay representation in media from the 90s. A rare mineral we thought was non-existent. We shall defend it with our lives. That’s right. Fan favorite Kaworu Nagisa has arrived to hold, heal, and break dear sweet Shinji’s heart. But before all that: Rei suffers an unpleasant angel infection and explores her loneliness before a big kaboom. Then, welcome to Lore Dump Alley folks! There’s an Adam, there’s a Lilith, there’s Eva’s, there’s humans, there’s a black moon, there’s a Spear of Longinus (tee-hee), there’s Dead Sea Scrolls. This is it! Everything is explained short of what the heck actually is Human Instrumentality. Followed by a loooooooooooong classical pause and theeeeeen… pop. We’ll see you all on the other side of Instrumentality… Support the show: Patreon, Venmo or CashApp
