#17 vs Self-Censorship
In this episode, we were supposed to discuss the unavoidable topic of "self-censorship" for creators today... but we made a last-minute change to share our experience of watching a Michael Jackson movie for the first time.
A manga artist and an architect are shocked by Michael's brilliance.
Surprisingly, neither of us had deeply explored his work until now. Through the film, we witnessed his overwhelming vocals, dance, and live performances, and we were truly stunned by his talent. We discuss how we were captivated not just by his hard work, but by his innate genius and the palpable atmosphere conveyed through the screen.
The impact of his live performances on society is also a key topic.
We touch on historical anecdotes, such as how he confronted television stations to get his music played despite the racial discrimination of the time. Comparing his stage presence to that of Bruno Mars, we talk about his unique aura and how his spectacular performances feel fresh to a generation that didn't know him at the time.
A single remark leads to the core of the episode.
In the middle of the show, there is a moment where our conversation gets a bit heated while discussing a specific scene. As we explore why he was able to captivate the world to such an extent, the conversation shifts to a deeper level. If you're curious, please listen to the full episode.
