Tarzan the British Flyer, and Berha Kircher return from their close call to their boma, but not before Sheeta tries to attack the pilot and bertha but is thwarted by Tarzan. When Tarzan goes off on a hunting trip, the Englishman convinces Bertha that they must leave together to search for a safe white town, and that Tarzan haes her- so why stay. She agrees, and they leave heading for his abandoned plane.

“He is a bit of a patsy. He's a little b!tch” The panel of peril settle down with a delicious-looking, open topped, fried egg sandwich to watch this week's cinematic treat Studio Ghibli's Castle In The Sky (Hayao Miyazaki, 1986). Sheeta (Anna Paquin) and Pazu (James Van Der Beek) are two young rapscallions on the hunt for the adventure, primarily centred around Sheeta's mysterious crystal necklace. That necklace saves her from certain doom several times over and may well lead her to the lost sky city of Laputa and the titular castle. But with sky pirates, the army and the mysterious Muska (Mark Hamill) on their trail will they make it in one piece? Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ykEy-yPBFc ********PLOT SPOILER ALERT******** Not only does the necklace lead Sheeta, her friends, and her enemies to Laputa but it has the ability to harness the power of the floating island. Power that Muska – a long lost relative of Sheeta! – wants to harness for his own nefarious ends. There's also a bunch of really cool robots who have become one with nature to contend with. But who's magnificent flying machines will travel fast enough to claim the prize first? What did the heck panel think of this week's movie? How in all that is holy can they improve upon the villain's masterplan? And which evil schemer will be christened this week's most diabolical?

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's second Countdown miniseries on 2023, a podcast first focusing entirely on the works of Japanese animator, Hayao Miyazaki: the Miyazaki Countdown. To honor one of the living legends of animation, the countdown crew of Scott, Scott, and Jay will watch all 11 of Miyazaki's films to-date, rewinding all the way back to his directorial origins with 1979's action-adventure heist thriller LUPIN III: THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO, all the way to his then-final film, 2013's biographical epic romance drama, THE WIND RISES. Join us each week over the next 11 weeks, as we build up to what is Miyazaki's self-proclaimed now-final film (we'll see...), the fantasy epic, THE BOY AND THE HERON.   In Part 3 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss Hayao Miyazaki's first official Studio Ghibli film: the 1986 fantasy adventure anime film, CASTLE IN THE SKY. Written and directed by the Japanese master, CASTLE IN THE SKY immediately thrusts viewers into the action, as a gang of air pirates led by a woman named Dola infiltrate a government airship carrying a prisoner aboard named Sheeta. Dola's gang incapacitates Sheeta's handler, a government operative named Muska, but in an attempt to escape capture, Sheeta falls off the side of the airship. In midair, however, the precious crystal Dola's gang was attempting to steal activates and slows Sheeta's fall, until she gently lands in the arms of Pazu, a young local miner, who takes her to his home for her to rest and recover. The next day, as Sheeta and Pazu get to know each other and their shared connection to a mysterious floating city in the sky called Laputa, Dola's gang arrives at their doorstep and pursues them, with the military in toe, led by Muska. It's a race to recapture Sheeta and find out exactly what her mysterious crystal's powers are and whether they ultimately lead to the fabled castle in the sky. The countdown crew share their thoughts on Miyazaki's third outing, how he continues to set a standard for the genres he explores, and the particular magic of his template for fantasy-adventure.

Kim and Elwood continue their re-evaluation of the filmography of Hayao Miyazaki with Castle In The Sky in which Sheeta an orphan abducted by the government agent Muska might hold the key to finding Laputa the mythical castle in the sky as she teams up Pazu and a group of sky pirates to find it.

This is the third of Burrough's Tarzan novels. Originally serialized in All-Story Cavalier magazine in 1914, the novel was first published in book form by A. C. McClurg in 1916.In the previous novel Tarzan reclaimed his name and title as John Clayton, Lord Greystoke. In this novel he finds that proper society is just as vicious as the jungle when greedy men threaten him and his new family. Jane and her infant son Jack are kidnapped by Tarzan's enemies, Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch, who then trap Tarzan himself and attempt to exile him forever on a primitive island, bereft of all those dear to him. There, however, Tarzan gains new allies in the panther Sheeta and the ape Akut, together with Akut's band.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/librivox1/support

It's a new venture after all, and you need to reach as many people as possible in order to achieve your goal of selling more products or services. The trick is to stand out from the crowd without spending too much money at the same time.    The good news is that there are many ways to do this without breaking the bank. There are so many companies looking for ways to grow that almost every day someone comes out with a new marketing strategy that they think will take their business somewhere. However, not all of these strategies work in every situation and not all of them are cheap either. In this blog post, we'll be discussing 5 different startup marketing strategies you can use when launching your own company.     1 Paid AdvertisingPaid advertising, such as Google AdWords, can be an excellent source of leads for your business, but it can also be very expensive. One way to mitigate the cost is to use a bidding system where you set a maximum you're willing to pay based on particular keywords. The trick is to find the right keywords that are relevant to your business and get good conversion rates.   If you're selling cabling services, you might use keywords like “cable installation near me” and “best electrical contractor”. You can also use negative keywords like “no electrical contractor” and “no cable installation near me” if you want to avoid being displayed next to services you don't offer.     2 Free Events and Meet-upsHolding meet-ups and events in your local area can be a great way to reach out to your target market. If you have a large enough budget, you might be able to book a venue. If not, consider using a co-working space. You can also ask to use a space owned by a university or other large institution in your area.    You might not be able to use the space for free, but you might be able to negotiate a discounted rate. You can also reach out to your local chamber of commerce and other organizations and ask if you can promote your event at their location. You might even want to consider offering a free membership or other incentive for groups that let you use their space.   3 Email MarketingEmail marketing is a tried and true marketing strategy that many businesses use to build their customer base and keep those customers coming back for more. The trick is to not overdo it and send out emails that are too frequent, otherwise your customers will likely start blocking your emails....

Mit Das Schloss im Himmel haben wir aber nun auch offiziell die Ghibli-Ära erreicht und können über Lukas' Kindheitserinnerungen reden. Wie die Filme dagegen Julian beim erstmaligen Ansehen gefallen haben, hört ihr jetzt!

The Miyazaki time machine beckons again! This time, the gang takes a trip to 1986 to Studio Ghibli's first feature film, Castle in the Sky, which is a wondrous adventure that follows two orphans as they run in with family-style pirates, magical stones, giant robots, Mark Hamill, and the titular castle floating in the sky. Classic Miyazaki/Ghibli hallmarks such as strong female characters, beautiful music, and gorgeous animated scenes mesh seamlessly with dieselpunk vibes, impressive worldbuilding, and an overarching sense of mystery surrounding Sheeta and her necklace that comes to a head once we discover Laputa's true purpose. Marcus has yet to see a Miyazaki movie that he dislikes, so just take his word for it! Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

Episode 30 marks a return to the work of both Studio Ghibli and filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, as Chris and Alex build on their discussion of My Neighbor Totoro with a journey to Laputa: Castle in the Sky (Hayao Miyazaki, 1986), an animated fantasy that follows the magical Sheeta and companion Pazu from a mining community of Japan up into the skies thanks to the floating powers of a mythical crystal. To discuss this early Ghibli feature, they are joined by Dr Robert Maslen, Senior Lecturer in English Literature (University of Glasgow) and founder of the MLitt English Literature: Fantasy, the first graduate programme in the world specifically dedicated to the study of fantasy and the fantastic. Topics include the film’s many imaginative acts of creativity and invention that support its steampunk aesthetic; its articulation of the treasures of learning, knowledge and dreams; Laputa’s links to both the speculative fiction of author Ursula K. Le Guin and the spectre of Japan’s industrialisation; and its multiple levels of space (the dynamism of the air, the land that conveys the work of living, and the underground mines that spark Sheeta and Pazu’s flying adventure).
