We're back in documentary territory as we explore this film about Miyazaki coming out of retirment to explore new animation technologies.

We head on a road tip to the Case Western Reserve University Film Society to catch their screening of Studio Ghibli's Castle in the Sky! It's one of the lesser known Ghibli films and we were both eager to see and discuss it. 

The problem is traffic. Traffic getting there, and traffic effecting out audio quality on the way home.  This one's going to be a little scratchy, but it's too good of a discussion to pass up!

It's an extra long Xtra! Maddie and Matt head out to Cleveland ConCoction for the weekend. It's Maddie's first time out at one of Matthew's favorite cons! 

Note: There's about 8 minuits of audio here at the beginning that's tinny and bad. We tried the car thing again and it just didn't work. Never fear, most of the episode is in the studio!

More Studio Ghibli! But this one isn't what you think....
Sometimes we talk about the movie. Sometimes we talk about everything BUT the movie.

Time to turn on the waterworks as we experience the SADDEST Studio Gibli film of them all.

It's Maddie's introduction to Ghost Rider! We talk a bit about the Fox Marvel movies, the comics, and most of all, the much maligned Nicholas Cage film!

Matthew remenisces to Maddie about the bygone era of movie hosts on TV as we discuss the horror hosts covered in the documentary American Scary.

It's the latest My Hero movie! It's a welcome return visit to the franchise after Maddie and Matt finished the anime. Superman metaphor abounds and has Bakugo finally redeemed himself in Matt's eyes?

Time to watch some old TV. Matthew introduces Maddie to this old cult classic! How does a Gen Zer react?

All that Black Butler we watched recently really reminded me of foggy moores and legendary creatures - like werewolves. Matt introduced Maddie to the film that revolutionized Werewolves in the 80's.
