The catbus is here and we're off to explore the (friendly) haunted forest! This week we're worshipping the ancient woodland spirit and face of Studio Ghibli — our good, personal friend, Totoro! But heads up, Adam and Dom have completely different takes on this one, so if you're looking for a real Siskel & Ebert type disagreement, this is the episode for you. Next week, we take to the skies with KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE (1989).

This week, we pay tribute to one of the most devastating (and life-affirming) movies ever made. It's our very first Takahata film, and… it's a doozy. We simply couldn't do a Studio Ghibli series without honoring this masterpiece. **Please be aware that this episode includes some distressing themes around children and violence. We tried our best to celebrate the brilliance of the film but inevitably the conversation turned dark at times. Next week, we get a (much-needed) big, fuzzy hug from MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO (1988).

Get in, losers, we're going to Laputa! This week we take flight with Pazu, Sheeta, and a gang of pirates with some seriously questionable motives to find the mythical land in the clouds where cool robots take care of birds (and shoot lasers). It's the first true Ghibli film, and, man, does it set the bar pretty high. Also... what the hell is going on with the English dub of this film? Next week, it's our very first Takahata film, GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES.

The closure of Spirit airlines has been met with conspiracies, government intervention, laughter and good riddance. Although there is a cultural push to limit travel by both air and ground, even a conspiracy, the fact is that these conspiracies are not universally true. Safety, cleanliness, genuine customer service, and fighting customers were not merely laughter-points of Spirit; they define much of the airline industry and most ground transportation in the U.S. as well, especially buses. Surveillance, security theater, and rudeness contributes to both conspiracies and an overall cultural issue that is at the root of these problems. The behaviors of government officials and public-service representatives is merely a reflection of the social pool from whence those workers are pulled. Likewise, their behavior is often justified when having to deal with an uncultured public. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Dean sings the praises of Waymo, tells tales of getting “upgraded” during his flights, and says the word “bathhouse” way too many times for Phil's liking or comfort. Phil discusses a potato chip brand he really enjoys and shares the cocktail recipe for a “Manhattan Noir”. In between, the film noir classic Odds Against Tomorrow, the current Japanese movie Exit 8, and the Japanese classics Spirited Away and Shall We Dance? all receive deep-dive discussion. The great Harry Belafonte and the brilliant Koji Yakusho are both celebrated, and Dean explains a bit about Noetic Science as depicted in Dan Brown's The Secret of Secrets.

Welcome to a very special Money On Film miniseries!Over three episodes, Slate Money's Felix Salmon and Slate culture writer Nadira Goffe revisit three films at the intersection of culture and finance. On this episode, Nadira and Felix take a trip to a bathhouse for spirits in 2001's Spirited Away.Directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the film follows a girl named Chihiro, who becomes trapped in the spirit world and must save her parents, encountering soot sprites, river spirits, a giant baby, and many more wonderful and terrifying beings along the way.The film is a masterpiece of storytelling and technical animation, but as Felix explains, it also works as a highly developed metaphor for capital and the Japanese economy at the close of the millennium: the bathhouse stands in for a stable but exploitative economic system, beset by outside capital forces, with workers stripped of their names and identities.This is the final episode of the Money On Film miniseries.

You just know this will be an odd one.From slot machines to stolen potatoes, the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button maintains control of game selection and has our hosts playing this indie adventure title developed and published by StudioBando Inc. The player steps into the shoes of a child tasked with fetching some ingredients for his grandma's soup, but the pantry is a portal to another world, so adventure ends up on the menu instead. It's inspired by Spirited Away, The Little Prince, and Coco, so if you think you'd enjoy the blending of Pixar and Ghibli, this title may tantalize your taste buds. It smells appetizing to our hosts, so they'll each dedicate an hour to unraveling its puzzles and unlocking its songs and finally determine if this game is a recipe for disaster or one they'd recommend you try for yourself!What do you think? Let us know!Check out all our links here:https://linktr.ee/tc1h1dThanks for taking this ride with us :-)

What does Spirited Away actually mean? And who—or what—is No-Face really supposed to be? In this episode of For the Love of History, we dive deep into the Japanese folklore, Shinto mythology, and yokai legends that inspired one of the most beloved animated films ever made: Spirited Away. Directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli, the film is packed with references to kami, yokai, purification rituals, and ancient spiritual beliefs that many viewers outside Japan may not recognize. You'll learn ✨ The meaning of kamikakushi — the folklore concept of being “spirited away” by the gods ✨ Why the spirit bathhouse reflects Shinto purification rituals and onsen culture ✨ The real folklore behind Haku's dragon form and river spirits ✨ The environmental message hidden in the Stink Spirit scene ✨ The possible yokai inspiration behind Yubaba and mountain witches ✨ And the true meaning behind No-Face, one of the most mysterious characters in animation From ancient Shinto beliefs about spirits in nature to the strange world of Japanese yokai, this episode uncovers the folklore that shaped Spirited Away's spirit world. If you love Japanese mythology, anime history, folklore, or Studio Ghibli, you're in the right place. Website (
This week Sidey, Dan, and Cris fly solo — Simon's been called to Southampton on urgent business (he was spotted in a pub surrounded by tea cups, so make of that what you will). The dads are reviewing Ballad of a Small Player (2024), the new Netflix film from Edward Berger — the director behind All Quiet on the Western Front and Conclave — starring a very much on-form Colin Farrell. The Film: Colin Farrell plays Lord Doyle, a dissolute British gambler drowning in debt in the casinos of Macau — and if you thought Vegas was the gambling capital of the world, think again. Doyle owes 352,000 Hong Kong dollars to the house, is blagging his way past the front desk in a crumpled cravat, and somehow still looks magnificent. He falls in with a mysterious young woman at the Baccarat tables, and from there the film slides into gorgeous, ambiguous territory — is she real? Is any of this? And does it even matter when the rush of the bet is the only thing that feels true? Themes of addiction, redemption, obsession, and the question of whether you can ever really stop — all wrapped in the stylised, sun-drenched visual language of Macau's casino underworld. The lads give it two words each: "All in" (Dan), "Bizarre but funny" (Cris), and "Strong recommend" (Sidey). Consensus: go watch it. Top Five: Gardens The boys dig into their favourite cinematic, televisual, musical, and gaming gardens. From the gnome in Amélie and David Lynch's suburban lawn horror in Blue Velvet, to the brutal communal fields of Midsommar, Spirited Away's otherworldly beauty, and the garden in Saltburn that had certain members of the pod seeing quite a lot of a particular actor. Wonka's chocolate garden gets a nod, as does Miss Peregrine's hedge-portal to another time. Sidey & Reegs are also going to see Wu-Tang Clan at the O2. Protect ya neck.

We hebben het over Huey, JJ en Koos. Gedrieën verzorgen ze met hun vrolijke gekwebbel en soms pittige discussies voor een nieuwe, levendige episode van Einde van de Week Live. We hebben het natuurlijk over de talkshow waarin we steevast het belangrijkste game gerelateerde nieuws van de week doornemen. Met dit keer onder andere nieuws over Xbox's Project Helix, PlayStation en de PC ports, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, de nieuwe RPG van Bandai Namco en de invasie van Israël door Iran in Call of Duty.

Plus we gaan de komende weken volop in op de release van Crimson Desert. Een game waarvan de hype-meter hoog staat. Gaat het spel het allemaal waarmaken? De eerste previews beloven veel goeds...Stap nu over op KPN internet en krijg een Switch 2 of PS5 cadeauVanaf deze week heeft KPN een actie lopen die je als weldenkend gamer bijna niet links kunt laten liggen.

In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van videogames. De opening van deze week wordt verzorgd door Jasper, die is aangeschoven bij JJ. De twee behandelen zoals altijd een aantal onderwerpen. Zo bespreken ze de eerste beelden van de God of War tv-serie, de reden waarom er nog steeds geen Bloodborne remake is en waarom Amazon bezig is met maar liefst zes tv-series rond videogames. Deze topics zijn te zien en te horen in de Gamekings Daily van maandag 2 maart 2026.Het was From Software dat voor de remake van Bloodborne ging liggenHet is voor veel liefhebbers van From Software nog steeds een pijnlijk iets: er komt maar geen remake van Bloodborne. En niemand snapt waarom? De beschuldigingen vliegen over en weer. PlayStation zou het niet willen, Miyazaki zou het er niet mee eens zijn, enz. Er lijkt nu eindelijk uitsluitsel te zijn. Wie was de 'schuldige'?

From Artist/Writer Alex Ortiz and Assistant writer Donovan Wilson comes a Scifi-Steampunk Fantasy epic! Beyond the plague-scarred lands stands New Mecha, the last mega city. There, Nali works as a skyship technician, doing whatever it takes to protect her little brother and the failing shelter that raised them. Then she dies. Nali awakens changed. Revived by something ancient and unknown, her body reforged, her work gauntlets transformed into weapons of immense power. She doesn't know why she was brought back, only that corporations across the world now hunt her for what lives within her. With the help of close friends and unlikely allies, Nali must uncover the truth behind her rebirth by leaving the city behind, healing corrupted lands and fractured dimensions before the spreading plague consumes everything she loves. IT IS A HAVEN WITH YOU is a dimension jumping, coming of age story about transformation through loss, choice, and faith. Wrapped in steampunk fantasy, it explores what it means to become something new when the old world refuses to let go. Issue One is 40 pages of gorgeous fantasy that sets the stage for the rest of the series. With a planned quarterly release schedule, this ongoing epic is something you won't wanna miss!

IN BLOOM
There's a movie by Studio Ghibli that came out between the two icons that are Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, and it's a movie that few people seem to talk about. It's another Isao Takahata feature, and another one of his that's based on a Japanese comic strip. Featuring a watercolor aesthetic way before his eventual Princess Kaguya film, this movie looks like virtually nothing else in the Ghibli catalogue. Does this quirky little film deserve to be forgotten amid the titans released on either side of it, or is it just as worthy of esteem as they are? Listen to find out!
Just in time for your 2026 return to work (and only one day late due to Nick's holiday overindulgence schedule), it's the MFV end of year round-up for 2025!

Why All Stories Are Myth (and How They Transform the Psyche) What if every story you've ever loved—whether it's Spirited Away, The Lord of the Rings, or Pride & Prejudice—wasn't just entertainment or even “realistic” fiction, but myth in disguise? In this week's episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors podcast, we explore the mythic foundation of narrative and why all stories are myth at their core. Together, we'll look at how archetypal story structure emerges across cultures and genres, why every character in a tale can be seen as an aspect of the psyche, and how archetypal character arcs—from the Hero's Journey to the Maiden, Queen, King, Crone, and Mage—offer writers a timeless blueprint for building powerful, resonant fiction. When you understand story as mythic storytelling—as a dream of the unconscious, a symbolic map of initiation and transformation—you begin to see how narrative has always been about more than plot. Story is the theater of the self. It's how writers and readers alike experience growth, healing, and the deeper truths of being human. Join me as we step into the mystery of mythic storytelling and discover how these ancient patterns can transform not just your stories, but your writing life.
