Story x Story #145: Silent Night, Homeless Night (Tokyo Godfathers)

This week on the podcast, Nigel and Tazziii search for the Christmas Spirit in Tokyo and take a deep dive into Tokyo Godfathers (starting at 28:09). We discuss the surprisingly relatable themes in Satoshi Kon's most grounded and realistic work. The film delivers a wonderful mix of complex and nuanced subtlety in its themes, as we have come to expect from the late Kon's work. In this episode's storytelling tip, we focus on making the narrative location a central character in your story.

Other stories we’re enjoying: The Castle of Otranto, The Hourglass, Honkai: Star Rail, Demon Slayer, One Piece, Ted Lasso, Good Omens, Platonic, Little Witch in the Woods, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Lookism, Robin Robin, and Primal.
