Episode 7: Madoka Magica and The Virgin Suicides

You Pick Tonight

Feb 11 2021 • 51 mins

It's an all-Magical Girl episode! Lyra seizes the chance to make Dan watch all 12 episodes of the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Dan introduces Lyra to Sofia Coppola with The Virgin Suicides. It's quite an intergenerational debate! Honestly, Dan doesn't get it, and Lyra spends a lot of energy trying to get him to understand why she loves this anime so much. Plus: the female gaze, The Wonder Years, and Kyubey, an adorable, interdimensional "little shit."

Intro music from Yuki Kajiura's Madoka Magica score.
Mid-show and outro music from Air's The Virgin Suicides score.
