Tyler Geis’ Basement

Today on the show, it's a sampler of a few films from the classic Japanese Animation Studio, Studio Ghibli. Get ready to listen to Tyler's reaction to films like Spirited Away, Ocean Waves, My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke. Also, I guess there is a debate on how to pronounce the name "Studio Ghibli".

On todays episode, filmmaker Sloan Losch comes by the basement to plug his Kickstarter campaign as he attempts to take the jump from taking his short film "The INN" and turning it into a feature. The campaign has a real cool aesthetic that matches the tone and feel of the film. Just picture being around in the 90's video store era, and going down the horror aisle and finding "The INN' on the shelves to rent or buy.
