When Marnie Was There

Let's milk this for one last trip down memory lane. Join us as we look back at the entire Studio Ghibli catalogue, have a little awards ceremony to honour our faves and give our final definitive Ghibli rankings.

A decade of highs (The Tale of Princess Kaguya) and 'meh's (From Up On Poppy Hill). Join us as we discuss the films from the final (to date) decade of Studio Ghibli!

We did it! We've come to the final Studio Ghibli film we'll be discussing for this podcast, Hiromasa Yonebayashi's 2014 mysterious teen drama, When Marnie Was There.

Always in Miyazaki's shadow, but never anything less than his equal, Isao Takahata crafted 5 unique and gorgeous films that couldn't have been made by anyone else. Join us as we discuss Takahata's final gift of a film, 2013's The Tale of Princess Kaguya.

Fitting swan song or disappointing biopic? Join us as we discuss Hayao Miyazaki's final movie to date, 2013's The Wind Rises, a film which eschews a fantastical setting but retains Miyazaki's love of flight and examines his own drivers of obsession and perfection.

Chirpy high school romcom or a post-war mystery with themes of incest. Por que no los dos? On this episode we discuss Goro Miyazaki's confused 2011 period pic From Up On Poppy Hill.

Can a movie succeed purely on clever design choices and strong animation? That's what drives our conversation about Arrietty, Hiromasa Yonebayashi's debut 2010 film. Tune in to see whether we find this version of Mary Norton's 'The Borrowers' tasteful or boring.

It was a decade of highs (Miyazaki's Spirited Away) and lows (the other Miyazaki's Tales from Earthsea). Join us as we revisit the films Studio Ghibli produced in the 2000s, as well as rank all the films they've produced to date.

After the hits of Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, Hayao Miyazaki takes a simpler approach with Ponyo, crafting a beautiful and magical fable for children of all ages. Join us to see how this stands up among his masterworks!

It's Tales From Earthsea Vs Ocean Waves - which will take the title of least interesting Ghibli film? Join us for a discussion of Goro Miyazaki's little loved 2006 fantasy that will make you wish Miyazaki Senior had taken over.
