Dive into the wonderful world of Studio Ghibli with Curtis, John, and our special guest Ryan (Curtis' brother) as they discuss Hayao Miyazaki's 1997 classic film PRINCESS MONONOKE. We talk about the themes, eco-readings and the environment, symbolism, characters, gender and feminism, social class, disabilities, and more. We also provide a summary of the film. In the last section, we cover films that we recently watched during the week. Quinn is still saving the world this week, but he will be back soon!
