A look at the many inspirations of Cowboy Bebop and how they contribute to making the show feel so original.

I've just set up a membership feature if you want to support. These videos take a stupid amount of hours to research, write, record and edit. Channel memberships are now the best way to help me make these faster.

By the way! If you recently subscribed from the Pumping Iron video which unexpectedly blew up out of nowhere, THANK YOU. The outpouring of insane numbers and support has been overwhelming, I could not be more grateful. There are so many new videos in the works that I can't wait to share with all of you including a ranking of every movie from the big man himself :). Hope you're having a fantastic day. Thank you again.

HUGE THANK YOU to my brother who made the thumbnail. He has a youtube channel where he makes really concise videos on becoming a better person, entrepreneurship, and being more productive. Check him out:
