This week, we’re talking Disney princesses. More specifically, which Disney princesses we’d want in a team competition.

The mystery is, we have no idea what that competition is. We’re just drafting who we would want into teams of 4, then competing against each other in an AI-selected contest! So we’re breaking down every possible strength, weakness, ability, character flaw and more.

Along the way, there’s a lot to talk about with the 8 original princesses. Which ones are our favorites, and which movies are the most classic? And do they hold up today?

It’s time for the definitive countdown of the Japanese anime Studio Ghibli movies. And who better to review and rank all 22 of them than someone who just watched them all for the first time, all in a row?!

That’s right, Ben is tackling this epic task. With 4 decades of tradition and countless childhood memories of generations attached for so many fans, it seems this is the only fair way to analyze them. How disappointed will Phil be at his picks? Which films are more accessible to a first-time viewer, and which ones will tumble down the list?
