Japanese movie club continues on, as Dave Babbitt of the Films(trips) podcast joins Ross again, this year talking about that OTHER terrible reptile, Gamera! It’s a mutant turtle, and Ross doesn’t even mention his favourite green team.

It’s the holidays! Ross and Dave Babbitt of the Films(trips) podcast spent the year watching every movie from Studio Ghibli! Listen to us talk about all of them, and why directors Miyazaki and Takahata are more problematic than just being the grumpy artists most people view them as.
 
Yes, Ross says “Princess Mononoke” incorrectly several times. Oops. He also says Hayao Miyazaki won the third animated feature film Oscar, when he actually won the second.
