About this listen

Woah! Two in a row? We're BACK! This time, Urasawa Boys delves deep into the second volume of Pluto, and we talk about how maybe this comic about giant robots fighting (with not a lot of giant robots fighting?) isn't quite working for us? But never fear - there's still a whole lot of good stuff here - Hercules, Brando, robot wrestling, the fictional war in Central Asia, the real war in Iraq, and giant metallic dream statues from the Bible! There's a lot going on in Naoki Urasawa's adaptation of Astro Boy - and you don't want to miss even a minute of us digging in! Folks - it's a good one!

Material Covered: Pluto (Chapter 8-15)

Next Time: Pluto (Chapter 16-23)
