About this episode

The episode discusses the 2004 film Howl’s Moving Castle, comparing subtitles and dubs, and exploring themes in Studio Ghibli films.

It’s the phenomenal 2004 Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki directed based on the book of the same name flick Howl’s Moving Castle. How could Joe & Adam forget this? Doesn’t matter; they’re glad they did so they got to rewatch it and talk about: the choice between watching subtitled Ghiblis vs English dub versions, the joyful little side characters that invariably pop up in a Miyazaki flick and bindels, plus a sort of connected but not really side chat about The Last Samurai.
