#232 – Son of the White Mare | Directed by Marcell Jankovics (with Marie Nicola of Alt.Pop.Repeat and Past//Forward)

Tune in as Marie Nicola (Alt.Pop.Repeat and Past//Forward) circles back around to the podcast for a plunge into Son of the White Mare, the 1981 animated fantasy adventure movie about a horse’s human son who embarks on a quest to save the world with the help of his superpowers and his two brothers. The phallic depiction of a sword and other sexualized symbolism, encouraging more respect for animation and the age ranges it can appeal to, reading this film through a socialist lens, and the impact that nostalgia has on obstructing boycotts stand out as a few talking points for this episode.

Directed by Marcell Jankovics, Son of the White Mare stars György Cserhalmi, Pap Vera, Gyula Szabó, Mari Szemes, Ferenc Szalma, and Szabolcs Toth.
