Pokémon | E3: Satanic Consumption
The Big Hit Show - A podcast by Higher Ground
Categories:
At the end of the ‘90s, after blowing up in Japan, Pokémon came to America. And it became so ubiquitous so fast that critics saw it as a plot to turn U.S. children into hypnotized consumers— or even devil-worshippers. But the version of Pokemon that conquered America was very much an American creation; in this episode we’ll look at how Pokemon became an international brand, and how its success brought out the worst in more than a few American parents.TRANSCRIPT: HERECREDITS:Writer and Host: Alex PappademasShowrunner: Colin McNultyProducers: Taylor Jones and Sabrina Fang, with help from Tyler Hill.Production Assistant: Stella HartmannFact Checker: Savannah WrightComposer/Sound Designer/Mix Engineer: Alex MacInnisTheme Music by: Dan Leone Executive Producer for Western Sound: Ben AdairEditor: Jamie YorkExecutive Producers for Higher Ground: Dan Fierman, Anna Holmes, Mukta Mohan, and Janae Marable.
