The MacGuffin Guild

On this episode of the MacGuffin Guild -- When a machine that allows therapists to enter their patients' dreams is stolen, all Hell breaks loose.  Only a young female can stop it.  And, that is Paprika.

This 2006 Japanese Animation Fantasy stars Megumi Hayashibara, Toru Furuya, Koichi Yamadera and Akio Otsuka. Directed by the legendary Satoshi Kon.

We're gonna talk about the works and tragedy of Satoshi Kon, Subbed vs. Dubbed, confusion in film, dream jokes, the dangers of texting, the connection between dreams and the internet and escapism.

We'll dig into spicy pits, Pat's Sapporo experience, comparisons to Inception, dreams within dreams, Bundy Doors and why 2nd viewings are sometimes REALLY important.

I'm Pat Dougherty and as always I'll be joined by my fellow MacGuffin's Justin Jones and Mike Antonio.  Our theme song was written and performed by Jordan Vincent. Join us, where dreams, reality and the movies merge... in Paprika.
