Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one’s ever gotten into?
I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I’ve never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don’t know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.
So what can’t you get people into and why should we check it out?
I have only managed to convince ONE person to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, tragically, because it’s my favorite tv show of all time.
I started that once and found it very hard to follow. Intriguing though, and I keep meaning to go back to it.
Oddly enough the thing I’m going to recommend for this thread is the work of Joel Bocko, whose website and general web presence, Lost in the Movies, is superb and really not well enough known IMO.
I mention it here because he’s done quite a bit on Evangelion, so you might enjoy it :-)
Evangelion is not hard to follow. It’s just a fucked up story about fucked up people hurting each other and then the world ends.
I found it pretty confusing, but I’ll give it another go. I also have a slight suspicion that I might have accidentally dropped into the middle of the story rather than starting at the start.
It’s actually an allegory about Adam & Eve and the creation mythos 😅 The last episode of the Evangelion series is not the true last episode, there’s actually a whole separate episode that goes over what really happens
