    I don't know the best way to answer the question, “What's your favorite movie?”

    "Join Kano as he talks about Japan in English — the good, the bad, and the weird." What’s your go-to answer when someone asks, “What’s your favorite movie?” In this episode, I share how I switch up my answers depending on who I’m talking to — from safe crowd-pleasers to deeper picks. I talk about movies that shaped my childhood, ones I’m obsessed with now, and how our tastes can change completely as we grow up. We also chat about the magic of watching films in the theater versus streaming at home. If you love movies (or struggle with this question too), this casual chat is for you! #Podcasts in english #Best podcasts #New podcasts #Spotify podcasts #Apple podcasts #AI podcasts ＃Learn Japanese ＃Life in Japan ＃Japanese Culture #Japan trends podcast #Casual japanese podcast #japanese internet culture
