We’re Back!  

Ben has moved to Russia and it’s been a while since we recorded so the start of this episode is some catch up and life stuff. Also he visited New York so he and Hank met up in person for the first time. Then, since Ben happened to have watched all three John Wick movies for the first time over the hiatus they talk about those for a while.  

And then they end on Star Wars talk because they cannot help themselves.

Originally planned as the first part of a series on old movies to air while Ben was away, those plans proved too ambitious and we didn’t get the other recordings done.

Hank has seen these movie a lot, and loves them, and Ben just watched them for the first time. Join us as we talk about this old shit!

Ben watched Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and liked it so much he then dove right into watching Spider-Man: Homecoming for the first time. Such an act demanded an episode. Join us as we talk through Ben finally getting Spider-Man.

This month’s installment of the Salt Circle Book Club is the 1967 novel The Fox and the Hound, which is pretty profoundly different from its Disney adaption. Ben and Hank talk about how the book could have been darker, old man bullshit, and the morality of hunting.

Ben and Hank embark on a new movie bracket and this time it’s the films of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. Like the Godzilla bracket we’re doing 4 movies at a time and we’re going through them in chronological order. So we’re talking The Castle of Cagliostro (1979), Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), Castle in the Sky (1986), and My Neighbor Totoro (1988).  

Which one will they like best? The answer might surprise you!
