Episode 63- My Neighbor Totoro



Our final week of Studio Ghibli reviews goes out with a bang as we review My Neighbor Totoro, the darling tale of two isolated girls in post-war Japan who suffer from delusions of a giant cat-bunny with magical powers. I don’t have any “funny” questions for this post. It’s late. Go sleepy….Enjoy!


Episode 62-Kiki’s Delivery Service



Our third Studio Ghibli review is flying high with Kiki’s Delivery Service, a heartwarming tale about a teenage witch who invents Amazon in the 1950s. With the voice talent of the late, great Phil Hartman, this story bums us out as much as it delights. Does Kiki deliver the goods? Can Katy Bug learn to speak into the mic? Will Nik figure out how to turn off the recorder? Listen to discover!


Episode 61-Princess Mononoke



After a brief detour, we’re heading back to Japan with some more Studio Ghibli goodness! Princess Mononoke is our flick of the week and we’ve got to marvel at the lack of any Princess Mononoke. Is she the main character or not? How many arms can one arrow shoot off? And why is our dog Finn the worst dog ever?!? All these questions will probably not be answered in this week’s episode!


Episode 59-Spirited Away



We’re showing love this week to our favorite animated director, Hayao Miyazaki. Sure, he’s not exactly known for his slasher films, but it’s our show and we wanted an excuse to watch Spirited Away. It was the highest-grossing film in Japan for 20 years for a reason. Why? Listen to our show to find out!
