What makes something funny by taking it completely seriously... while also making fun of it? Why do stories about impossibly powerful superheroes and outrageous anime battles sometimes reveal surprisingly deep truths about human nature? And when does parody become more than just comedy? Whether you're a lifelong anime fan or you've never watched a single episode, this Watch & Talk session invites you into one of the most fascinating corners of storytelling. Through carefully selected scenes from One Punch Man, we'll explore how anime can parody itself while still celebrating everything that makes the genre so beloved.

Hosted by Noah, a stage performer, drama teacher, and passionate lover of both Shakespeare and animé, we'll pause throughout the screening to discuss what parody really is, how it differs from satire, and why the ridiculous can be both hilarious and surprisingly meaningful at the same time. Is parody mocking something, criticising it, or paying it the highest compliment by understanding it so well? Along the way, we'll also explore the enduring appeal of superheroes, the unique storytelling style of anime, and why these larger-than-life characters continue to reflect some of the most relatable parts of ourselves. Expect plenty of laughs, lively discussion, and perhaps a whole new appreciation for a genre that's far smarter than it first appears.

Let's sit back with good friends in comfy chairs, watch scenes from a hilarious and surprisingly deep animé, laugh our butts off and connect over the ridiculous beauty of it all!
