    Episode 143: It's Miyazaki's World

    Episode 143: It's Miyazaki's World

    And we're just living in it, baby! The only way to adequately discuss the grandmaster of animation is with a double-stuffed episode, and to help us out we're joined by our friends at Catching Up David! The crossover event of the season goes over the career of Hayao Miyazaki, how his works have shaped and affected us, and how we feel about his newest, The Boy & the Heron.

    Movies specifically discussed in detail (there will be spoilers):

    Laputa: The Castle in the Sky (1986)
    My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
    Spirited Away (2001)
    The Wind Rises (2013)

    Our next episode will be our best of 2023! See you all in the new year...
