Continuing our WE WANNA WAIL miniseries (not We Wanna Whale, mind you), this week's Rick's Pick was a thematic double feature: Perfect Blue (1997) directed by Satoshi Kon and Black Swan (2010) directed by Darren Aronofsky. While we compare these two films' visual and story similarities, we come to the conclusion that the similarities are far outweighed by the differences in characterization, viscerality, and emotion - though Aronofsky is not beating the ripoff allegations, either. Plus: Oreo Coke Zero, Amazing Cultivation Simulator, and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
