"(Going) Back to (Look at) the Future Month" leaves dystopian futures behind (finally) and delves into the surrealist dreamscape of Satoshi Kon's Paprika (2006)! Ben, Cory, and Noah join the dream parade to discuss the animated classic, set in 2006's near-future.

Directed by Satoshi Kon, co-written by Satoski Kon and Seishi Minakami, and based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui.
