Will either make the cut? "Metropolis" is dystopian saga full of robots, revolutionaries, and political killings. It was a wild watch that made for some interesting discussions. "Tokyo Godfather's" is a much different film with a more realistic tone. Satoshi Kon directs this found family comedy with a lot of heart. While the category is animation the episode itself is far from sketchy. Rate, review and follow the show!
