Mental health warning: Mentions of depression and self-sabotage. 
A ninja anime that's not Naruto? Nabari No Ou existed in an age of anime I grew up with a teenager. I still have the books that I have read cover to cover. It's a miracle the pages are still INTACT.  It's an obscure anime that feels like a gem, but why would it be a gem? That's what I'm here to tell you. I got to enjoy talking about one of my favorite underrated animes and it was a great way to end the Anime August Special! :)

Part 1: Introduction 
Part 2: The Plot of Nabari No Ou
Part 3: Naruto vs. Nabari No Ou. 
a. The parallels
b. Sasuke and Raimei
c. the emotion
Part 4: The Difference between the Manga Run and Anime Adaptation
Part 5: Final thoughts!
Part 6: What's the next episode??

Oh my god, of all the anime titles to start out the anime series OF COURSE it would would have to be the movie that got me into Studio Ghibli. It is a crime to not love a film that brought us into a world of fantasy while giving a realistic take on maturity while never losing the imagination. It's my favorite Hayao Miyazaki film and I'll be dishing out the praises to add onto the film with a hefty history of praise. 

Part 1: Intro
Part 2: The cast of Spirited Away
Part 3: The characters
Part 4: The favorite scenes.
Part 5: The real-life stories in Spirited Away
Part 6: The film firsts of Spirited Away
Part 7: The pig bit ( I had no segue LOL)
Part 8: Final thoughts (and joke)
Part 9: What's the next episode of the anime series?

Welcome back, Screen Team! I have a wonderful episode that is going to be different than my usual episodes. This episode was a challenge to see how I could be an interviewer and get some other commentators on the show---and who better than my dear friend Ann Lowe as my first guest as we cover a film that had one of the first few sociopathic kids before we had Kevin McAllister. 

Apologies for the sound problems in this episode. There was some technical troubleshooting, My labptop was unable to do a video chat, so I had to use two laptops, the one I record my episodes with and another to do the video chat. I held the microphone as close to the speakers on the second laptop. During the editing process it was still too soft and I amplified her voice to be heard. There might be a couple of hiccups where you can't hear her, but I promise by next collaboration, this won't be an issue. Thank you for understanding!

Part 1: Meet Ann!
Part 2: What's the Bad Seed?
Part 3: Topic 1 - What freaked you out the mot about Rhoda's character?
Part 4: Topic 2 - Mrs. Lovebreed Discussion
Part 5: Topic 3 - Do you agree that Ms. Fern made the right call? And what does her actions speak for in today's society with teachers interventions? 
Part 6: Topic 4 - Christine's Character
Part 7: Topic 5 - A battle of the socipaths, How did you feel about Leroy's Character?
Part 8: Topic 6 - Ann, how did the Bad Seed influence your writing for Father's  Failure?
Part 9: Topic 7 - The Remakes
Part 10: Where can we find Ann??
(I am so sorry about the noises, I have no idea what I was doing in my multitasking, but it was a lot)
Part 11: The anime special reveal!

A certain trailer dropped last week about the long-awaited sequel to one of the greatest horror films ever made.  I'm not the hugest fan of The Exorcist but I have the highest respect to the film's legacy and the current director folliwing the coat tails to give us new thrills from a timeless terror tale.  Are you a fan of The Exorcist? Are you gonna watch it with a defribulator like me?

School’s out for the summer! But let’s face it, we always wanted to be the schools of the 80s. You can’t go wrong with the classics, but Rodney Dangerfield playing a rich freshman is the kind of movie that doesn’t come around that often. There some stuff that aged well…some that just needs to stay in the 80s (I’m looking at that shower scene). On this week’s episode for the screen queen we’re diving into the film that has you wondering what famous faces were in this 80s gem and what underrated 80s song emerged from the film?

Part 1: Introduction

Part 2: What is Back to School

Part 3: Thornton Melon’s Education

Part 4: Rodney Dangerfield

Part 5: The Great Debate

Part 6: Does Back To School work better with or without the comedy?

Part 7: The famous faces!

Part 8: The most UNDERATED song exists in this movie

Part 9: The Father-Son Dynamic

Part 10: Final Thoughts

Part 11: BONUS POINT

Part 12: What’s the next episode!
