    The Boy and the Heron

    A podcast emerges from the mists of time with the hosts in very different places in their lives only to find that Miyazaki? That mfer is so goddamn the same. You can listen to and support Autumn’s work at Export Audio and the Export Audio Patreon, and find Em on the Abnormal Mapping network! Listen to them both on this season of Around the Long Fire! If you want to hear them talk about a good movie, listen to the episode on The People’s Joker they did a few months back. This Year’s Film:The Boy and the Heron Next Time:???

    The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness

    It’s over! We have finally crossed the finish line with thoughts on Ghibli culture, Hideaki Anno, Goro the hero, our rankings of films, and the strange and difficult journey this podcast has been. Thanks for sticking with us through the ups and many many downs and I hope some day we can all sit down again and watch a new one of these and hopefully not just be mad about it. Much love, find better cartoons than these. You can listen to and support Autumn’s work at Export Audio and the Export Audio Patreon, and find Em mostly talking Gundam on The Great Gundam Project.

    Earwig and the Witch

    Here we are, a movie that literally came out while we were recording this podcast, bringing us to the end of new Ghibli movies for now! Also, turns out it’s a movie everyone hates. How do two veteran Ghibli haters fare? The answer might surprise you.

    When Marnie Was There

    The final theatrical Ghibli movie (for now) brings us to the questions of what we actually want from films from this studio, a world without Miyazaki or Takahata, and the strange relationships of childhood colored by nostalgia and depression. Finally we can answer the burning question: was Marnie there?

    The Tale of the Princess Kaguya

    We dig into the final Takahata movie with a great sense of both wonder and sadness for the conflicting feelings that we find in this retelling of a classic folk tale. This one was difficult for both of us for differing reasons. Rip to a real one.

    The Wind Rises

    We’ve come to the pinnacle of Miyazaki, the film he retired* on, a movie I had always heard referred to as one of his greatest works. Welp, we did our best, and I hope you will understand. Maybe the next one will be better.

    From Up on Poppy Hill

    A raucous episode as we talk Japanese history, Ghibli house style, trailer reactors to the new film, and most importantly GORO’S REVENGE! This was a fun one to podcast about, surprisingly!

    Arrietty

    The power of very small things and very little plot wins the day on this chill episode of And Then, An Aerooplane. Also, we get very distracted and talk about b******t!
