Monster 17: Wasteland, Tenma!
Coming to you a few hours late, edited LIVE somewhere in the swamps of New Jersey, it's the penultimate episode of Urasawa Boy's inaugural season on MONSTER! Join Matt and Quinn on the rollercoaster once again as we round the corner and begin barreling down the hill into a peaceful and unsuspecting town somewhere in the mountains of southern Germany. We dig into what it was that Johan saw, and what that means for him, and all of our other favorite characters that have gotten caught in the black hole that swirls around him.
Aside from that, all of your favorite things are here - long digressions to talk about other podcasts and media consumption habits, the two of us saying "we'll probably speed through the rest of these chapters," an hour into the podcast, Quinn providing context about which locations are actually real, and Matt making wildly big conceptual and narrative swings and then hedging those bets with plot ignorance. Folks, it's a good one!
If you have questions, or topics of discussion that you think would be fun for our wrap up episode, please send them to [email protected]!
