Neon Podcast Evangelion

*** https://twitter.com/NeonPodcastEva1 *** *** https://evangelionpodcast.com *** Is that a PlayStation 1? No sir, that's a PlayStation 2 running NGE Platinum Edition in a cold shed. Is this 2000? nope it's 2023, the future, and they are doing it to it still. If God in His Heaven rewards tenacity, he hast done smiled on the Cousins Ayres this evening. Gripping the imagination of our arrestedly developed hosts is this unique entry in the Evangelion epiverse, where the rough grip on biology (and perhaps a rough grip on translation) that show has always had is brought to the forefront. What if the whole base is biological? What if we just call a laser robot a polysome. The similarly rough grip of our college graduates is on display trying to work sense into the sci-fi told here. Highlights: - The idea of this as a 'guest episode' is run with, even though there's not really much to go on for that idea. Regardless, the science concepts brought into this episode that are never further explored are unique and fun. - Though the play NERV makes to defeat the Angel truly makes less sense the further it's scrutinized. Just keep it at Gendo's take that evolution ultimately produces destruction. - Another weak showing for Neon Podcast Evangelion's Hebrew Corner. Hoping for a strong return next week! - It'll happen to you too, young listener: pretty much every reference we couldn't place was immediately vividly recalled with a little post show googling (i.e. Pribnow Box, Daft Punk anime videos). C-as-integer means nothing. - Apologies from the editor for not taking a blade to all the 'printer chat.' He must have nodded off during it.
