Bust out the popcorn (and your most tear-stained handkerchiefs) for this one, folks! We talk about Hayao Miyazaki’s latest, final (?) film, the award winning The Boy And The Heron! Ryan also watched the documentary Hayao Miyazaki And The Heron, and offers some additional insights on how this film is the culmination of Miyazaki’s career, the filmography of Studio Ghibli, and a life spent in an ever-changing world. All that, and the movie itself is really dang pretty!
