"Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep podcasting."

Will & Jared dive back into the world of anime to cover their first Studio Ghibli film, as well as their first film by legendary writer and director Hayao Miyazaki, Princess Mononoke!

This beautiful and haunting film follows a young exiled prince discovering human-led industrialization is advancing at a rapid pace at the cost of the environment and it's inhabitants, causing the spirits of nature to fight back.

Is the classic animated film still relevant today? Does the animation and themes hold up to our modern standard? Is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild based on this film? Is Billy Bob Thornton completely mailing it in on the English dub? Listen to find out now!

Our outro track is The Aki Way by Purrfect.

You can listen to Reno Championship Wrestling & Spellbound and Gagged anywhere you get podcasts.
