Episode 186: Anime Binge Club Evangelion Episodes 21 & 22

In this packed episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion, we explore Fuyutsuki’s memories of the Second Impact and his complex relationship with Gendo, revealing shocking truths about the Eva project’s origins and the shadowy organization Seele. Then, we witness Asuka’s emotional breakdown as she confronts her traumatic childhood memories while fighting an Angel that invades her mind. The episode features stunning psychological sequences, including that unforgettable elevator scene with Rei, as Asuka’s barriers crumble under the weight of her past. After that, we discuss Severance Season 2’s disappointments, Twin Peaks’ distinctive storytelling, and whether David Lynch is just a normal guy with a weird imagination. Spencer, Jeff, and Ryan also dive into recommendations for The Pit and Common Side Effects, two shows tackling modern society’s challenges in vastly different ways.
