Let's take another trip back into our archive of unpublished early episodes. Here we have a triple feature discussion from 2018 of then-recent animated films from around the globe.

A wholly unique take on Batman, he's cel-shaded CG-animated and thrust back in time to feudal Japan, in Junpei Mizusaki's Batman Ninja. The first feature film from Studio Ponoc, Mary and the Witch's Flower explores familiar territory. Directed by Alberto Vázquez and Pedro Rivero, subversive Spanish title, Birdboy: The Forgotten Children, explores a ravaged post-apocalyptic society and its oddball animal inhabitants.

We hope you enjoy this deep cut from the vault. Please excuse the lesser sound quality, we were still figuring out this whole podcast thing.
