Hey!

Today we are going over Castle in the Sky!

Although it is Studio Ghibli's first animated film, it's the second film in our Ghibli journey, following the beloved Spirited Away.

But was this a mistake?

And then to wrap up,

We had to bring up all the Sonic references in this movie. It's true. There is a surprising amount.

And lastly,

We discover how Castle in the Sky has influenced some notable MCU directors.
