About this listen
🌀 In a world where humans are pocket-sized pests and enlightenment comes with a body count, things get… fantastically weird.
In Episode 43 of And I Made Him Watch, we descend into the animated fever dream that is Fantastic Planet (1973). Directed by René Laloux, this cult sci-fi classic gives us:
🔵 Blue-skinned giants (the Draags) who meditate to horrifying results
🔵 Wildly surreal animation that feels like a children’s book possessed by demons
🔵 Tiny humans rebelling against their alien overlords—and somehow winning
Is it a metaphor for oppression? A bad acid trip with subtitles? Or the most terrifying petting zoo in cinema? You decide.
🎧 New episodes every Monday—because existential dread waits for no one.
