First-time guest Lauren Milici joins the podcast to discuss all things Princess Mononoke: the leprosy, the demon blood, the moral ambiguity, and the many other elements that make this a great Studio Ghibli entry for the whole family.
We also discuss the satisfying crunch of Green Room, discuss revisiting Pokemon, and stump for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Also included: another self-inflicted Chris Evans Corner and a full Steve King tangent.
