Janelle Monáe - Metropolis (2007)

This episode reveals our deep, deep love affair with Janelle Monáe, our queer cyborg goddess, as we discuss her first album, Metropolis: The Chase Suite (2007). It brings up a lot of feels and a lot of references, including...

Metropolis (1927) film trailer, Janelle's inspiration for this epic project
Dirty Computer Emotion Picture, a film from the last album in this project (Dirty Computer, 2018)
The Memory Librarian, a collection of stories from the project
The Wondaland Arts Society
and the Pinball Animation Countdown so you can get your "doot doo doos!"
