Shirleon joins Melvin to discuss what is perhaps Hayao Miyazaki's most popular feature, Spirited Away! Its music, its character, it's magic; Spirited Away continues to dominate the conversation among Ghibli and anime fans alike, and the two get into all the good stuff in their latest episode!

- Shirleon, "I really don't think I can say anything bad about the movie."
- Melvin does a rundown of similarities he's observed between the 3 Miyazaki-directed movies they've covered on the show.
- Chihiro grows from someone who fears a lack of agency into someone empowered with determination.
- Spirited Away is a little different from other family-accessible movies in that its complicating incident isn't the fault of it's child-protagonist but rather their parents.
- The concept of "work" is constantly on the mind of the movie.
- Talking about the "weeping rice-cake" scene.
- If we spend time meditating on the blessings of our lives, we start to notice how supported and how resilient we are.
