Saturday Spotlight: “There is this fish.”

As we here on the east coast prepare for the arrival of Sandy, my mind turns to visions of water, water, and more water. And being an obsessive fan of 80s shoujo manga, thoughts of water lead to Moon Child.

Today’s Saturday Spotlight archive post comes from March of this year, when Michelle Smith and I sat down to discuss mermaids, aliens, giant fish, Broadway dancers, Chernobyl, environmentalism, Vaslav Nijinsky, and the epic weirdness awesomeness of Reiko Shimizu’s Moon Child.

Come reminisce with us, and if you’re on the east coast, get some batteries in those flashlights!
