The Poz Button


Jan 30, 2018

 

Crank up that Xurious and physically remove communists. This week on the Poz Button, Borzoi invites on General Belisarius and Glock Doctor to discuss a Laotian Stop-Motion film by the title of Jin-Roh. You might know it better as the Right Wing Death Squads movie. Strap in for a long chat about Japan, soldiers, war, PTSD, and yes, even anime.

 

Corrections:

  • "arubaito" isn't technically the Japanese word for work, it's a word for part-time work.
