About this episode

Tony Farina joins to discuss the 2008 live-action adaptation of Speed Racer and its unique style.

Tony is all revved up and ready to GO GO GO! As he returns to defend #TheWachowskiSisters’ 2008 live-action manga/anime adaptation of #SpeedRacer! But does this hyper-stylised and experimental film stall at the starting line or is it a Demon On Wheels? Join us as we discuss The Fonz, Ninjas and whether you can make a “cubist film?” #PrepareForPrattle Find all of his podcasts and books at Tony’s website https://www.arfarina.com/ Want to watch live marathons of the original anime?
