Ready for a blast from the past? Dakota and Anthony, take you on a nostalgic journey back to an anime classic, Hayao Miyazaki's classic anime, "Laputa Castle in the Sky." And what a ride it was! Even with my VR experience, it still felt like the first time. We deconstruct the film, its themes, and how it ties into Miyazaki's career and other Studio Ghibli works.

But hey, we don't live in the past. We're also here to share the latest buzz in the world of entertainment. The "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" cast is getting back together for a new project, and we've got our take on the latest Marvel movie, "The Marvels."

Back to Miyazaki's masterpiece, Castle in the Sky doesn't get the recognition it deserves. We dug deep into the lost civilizations, the unique perspective on the world that Miyazaki presents and also drew parallels to popular works like Overwatch and Minecraft. And we couldn't wrap up without appreciating the clever world-building, where civilizations live in the sky and the people on the ground are descendants of these flying cities. If you're a Miyazaki fan, a Marvel enthusiast, or just love a good geeky chat, this episode is one you don't want to miss. Join Dakota and Anthony as we geek out about the beauty and depth of storytelling in Castle in the Sky and its impact on the audience.
