Earwig and the Witch

"Āya to Majo" analysis & discussion podcast. Welcome to our 26th podcast on the films by Studio Ghibli. This time, we are slowly creeping towards the end of our journey, as we talk about the latest film released by Studio Ghibli and as we anticipate the upcoming new Miyazaki movie later this summer. Earwig and the Witch is a controversial one, as it is Goro Miyazakis full on foray into 3DCG for an entire movie. Hear us squabble about our different opinions on this movie. Your hosts on this episode are Xiff, PlatonSkull, Hipster_Cthulhu and Nyard.

Big announcement: Next episode is going to go back in time to start with the first movie directed by Isao Takahata! Stay tuned.
