Dub Talk 324: ZENSHU

Originally Recorded: September 26, 2026 One day last year, two hosts, Noah and Amon, got to talking, and proposed an episode. They aimed to do two things with this episode: 1. Help bring attention to a classic anime and arthouse movie that was only, just know, 40 years later, getting an official release in the United States. 2. See how much actual dub a movie needs to have for us to record a full-length episode. These are the results. So sit back. Relax. Clear your mind. And see where this journey, into the allegorical world of Angel's Egg, takes them and you. Our theme music was composed by Gaby Pulcinelli / Ponpoko in the Distance.
