Hello and welcome to another episode of Anime Club.
0:36
I'm having a nice little little warming presence of Calcifer
0:39
there warming. Myself up with Calcifer and some
0:43
nowadays I. Would say I want some but I'm
0:46
already sweating my boobies off. How are you anyway?
0:51
Yeah, I'm good. Thank you.
0:53
Great to be back. We're doing a live which we.
0:58
I'm sure we'll have been doing like, but it feels like ages
1:01
since I've done it because it's been a very, very long week.
1:05
Yeah. But yeah, this.
1:08
Really has. This.
1:10
Wow. Till we get straight into it.
1:12
This week we're doing Howl's Moving Castle.
1:19
The music is amazing on this. It's like every every Ghibli
1:24
short ever has got this in the back.
1:26
The song in the background. I think even your stuff.
1:29
Yeah, no, definitely. Every Ghibli thing that I post,
1:32
I always put this, the main theme from this film on because
1:37
it is just like peak Ghibli soundtrack.
1:42
And I did love it because obviously Chris and I chat when
1:44
we're watching stuff. And I was a bit like, is Chris
1:47
going to like this one? And then when I got a message
1:52
saying the music's amazing in this, I was like, OK, I can
1:54
relax, he is going to enjoy it. Well, I thought I'd watched it
2:00
because it's like everyone knows how it's Moving Castle and I
2:04
start watching it before this and I thought, I haven't
2:07
actually seen this. So it's a nice, nice little
2:10
surprise. I don't know what's the matter
2:12
with this, if it's like some sort of mental illness or but
2:15
yeah, I thought I had watched it.
2:17
I think it's just stress and being a dad.
2:20
It just affects your, affects your short term memory.
2:23
I don't think we need to like, lock you away just yet.
2:27
Selective hearing as well, but yeah, oh, there's loads of
2:31
people in the chat. Oh, before we start, probably as
2:34
well. And when I set up this stream,
2:37
there was a weird thing popped up that said for goals.
2:41
And I was like, oh, I don't know what they are.
2:43
I'll put one on to test it out. And stupidly, I put that I would
2:47
next neck me lumpy juice if someone donated something.
2:50
So cheers Paul for doing a super chat for 79 pence or something.
2:56
Now I've got a neck me Peach lumpy juice, which is.
3:00
Millions. I think it looks all right, but
3:04
I can imagine it's a textural nightmare, especially when
3:06
you're like, yeah, deep throating it.
3:09
It's not just the lumps, the slimy lumps like neck and frog
3:14
spawn isn't. It.
3:16
So what other snacks have you got this week?
3:19
Oh yeah, that would that would leave it a lot and I'll just
3:23
pick one snack. So I've got a very weirdly
3:26
labeled peel as gummy gummy bananas.
3:33
And the font is a horrible choice on these, which
3:39
apparently you can peel them. I've never had them before, but
3:43
everything's been last minute today so.
3:47
Yeah, I'm looking forward to you peeling those gummy gummy nonas.
3:54
Sammy's chanting down in one in the chat, which I love.
3:58
So looking forward to that. I've gone for, I've gone from
4:03
some strawberries and cream pink French Francis on a tiny little
4:08
pink plate. Oh, nice, everything.
4:12
And then I've also got like some some squash, which is like a
4:16
rhubarb and. Squash in a mug.
4:18
Curry squash. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
4:21
This is my favorite mug to drink from.
4:25
It's a glass mug, so it's like halfway between a glass, halfway
4:28
between a mug, so it can be tea or squash.
4:33
I still think it's weird, but. All right, suddenly you're like
4:37
all like table etiquette expert over here.
4:41
I'm just thinking the things to say stolen so I don't have to
4:44
neck this lumpy juice. Down in one but.
4:52
Yeah, so how's Boven Castle? While you tell everyone what
4:56
it's about in detail, I'm going to attempt to neck this
5:01
necklace. A lot of juice, Yeah.
5:04
So when you're ready. Down the lumps, yeah.
5:07
So Housemoving Castle is a, is a film based on a book.
5:12
And it's like, I would class this as like a modern fairy
5:15
tale. And it's set in a, a land at
5:19
war. It ain't right that you have to
5:23
tap that bottle to get the lumps down.
5:26
And there is a young, a young woman, Sophie, who considers
5:30
herself to be plain and unassuming, finds herself cursed
5:35
by a witch after she stands up to a witch who's being rude.
5:38
And she's like a hat maker. And so after having been cursed,
5:44
she goes out into the the the waist, which are on the
5:48
outskirts of her town to look for the Howl's moving castle,
5:53
which is like knowing how to be a powerful wizard who might be
5:56
able to help her. And once inside, she finds
6:00
herself with a friendly little little demon fire demon
6:05
Calcifer. We also have, like along the
6:07
way, she picks up like some other, like a straggling
6:11
scarecrow, an enchanted scarecrow called Turnip Head.
6:16
And together these ragtag mischiefs join forces with Hal
6:20
and his apprentice. And it's kind of really like,
6:25
it's quite a sweet story. And not say the first half is
6:28
just about them, like getting to know each other and forming a
6:31
kind of like weird surrogate family.
6:34
And then the second-half gets a bit more actiony as you find out
6:37
what's going on in the world and the warmth comes back.
6:41
I'm pausing on my description of the film.
6:44
Chris, how you doing? Just going to do a little
6:46
welfare check. That that was a struggle, right?
6:49
So you try to nick it and then we had the the bottleneck here.
6:54
So it's just you get the down the liquid and then you just get
6:57
a mouthful of lumps. So yeah, it's like, it's like, I
7:01
don't know, neck and a bottle of frog spawn.
7:05
Oh Yum. Yeah.
7:10
Anyway, cheers for that Paul. It tastes like Peach.
7:19
It is little bits of Peach with peachy wet around it.
7:25
Sorry, where did you get get up with the storyline?
7:28
Yeah, I just got up to where, like, you know, they they make a
7:31
family. Sophie cleans everything up,
7:33
kind of whips them all into shape.
7:35
She's cursed to be an old lady as well, I should say.
7:38
So she goes from like, being this young lady to being this
7:40
old Grandma Sophie. And she spends most of the film
7:42
as Grandma Sophie, who is amazing.
7:46
I kind of love the energy of someone just get like becoming
7:49
old overnight and just being like, well, I'm just going to
7:52
say what I think now. Yeah, it's, it's kind of like
7:57
them old people who just don't give monkeys anymore.
8:00
It was just that I see what I want, what you're going to do.
8:02
I'm an old woman. There's a film, There's not a
8:06
film. There's a poem and I can't
8:07
remember what it's called, but it's, it's like when I, it's
8:09
like when I'm 80, I'm going to dye my hair purple and wet
8:13
orange or something and yell at people on the on the bus.
8:16
That's the gist of the poem. I'm not doing it anywhere near
8:18
justice, but like, that's the energy that I feel like Sophie
8:21
comes into this film with. She's just going to do whatever
8:24
she likes. And if it involves like, hitting
8:26
people with sticks or, yeah, whipping people into shape, then
8:31
that's what she's going to do. Exactly.
8:34
Yeah, I I quite like. I thought it was weird because
8:37
she's been cursed to be an old person and she always has far
8:42
for Darren to be in contact with Howell by accident.
8:46
Well, I mean, it was foretold because you see, there's a weird
8:49
tiny. Lady that and she's that and
8:51
she's rude. Like the witch of the waist says
8:53
that she's rude to her, but the witch of the waist is rude
8:55
first. I think she's just standing up
8:57
for herself. Yeah, because I'll watch this
9:00
with them dubbed with them with subtitles.
9:05
So Sophie own runs a hat shop and so the Witch of the Waste
9:13
waltzes in and she's just like, oh, this is a cheap shop with
9:16
shitty hats and she's like, oh, can you leave?
9:19
We're actually closed now, which is like curse.
9:22
Yeah. That's how.
9:24
And then I'm going to run away, yeah.
9:27
The Witch of the Waste is but also like Just While We're
9:30
talking dubs, the The voice acting cast for this is amazing.
9:35
I know you didn't love it as much as Princess Mononoke, which
9:39
is fair because Princess Mononoke, the voice acting is
9:42
truly very exceptional. But in this, we've got as how
9:46
Christian Bale as the Witch of the Waste, Lauren Bacall as
9:50
Calcifer, Billy Crystal, like that.
9:54
There are some really good voices in this.
9:57
Yeah, Yeah. And I would say that out of all
10:01
of the performances, Lauren Bacall as the Witch of the Waste
10:04
is just the best. She's so good in it.
10:09
So actually which which the waste right?
10:12
Do you think she is a good character or a bad character
10:17
overall? I think she's an interesting
10:21
character and it goes back to what I was saying about Princess
10:24
Mononoke. Sometimes Jibby don't do good or
10:27
bad, they do human, where characters come fully loaded
10:34
with motives of their own and points of view that put them at
10:39
odds with each other but don't necessarily make them bad.
10:41
I mean at the beginning I would say that the Witch of the Waste
10:44
is a vain character, but I think she becomes incredibly
10:49
sympathetic because she too so she has her powers stripped
10:52
away. So she's there's an irony
10:54
because she curses Sophie to be this old woman.
10:58
And then what happens is she gets her powers stripped away by
11:00
the kings, like arch mage, and she becomes this like, little
11:06
old lady in the corner, which is like over there.
11:09
Yeah, underwear Chris is on the screen because, like, all of her
11:14
power, that's keeping her like, young and beautiful.
11:17
Beautiful. Oh yeah, she's there's like a
11:21
kind of grotesqueness to her, but I also kind of love a thick
11:24
queen. So it's all.
11:25
Good. What is what is that film?
11:28
I think you were on the podcast, on the Sunday podcast where it
11:32
was them two women who found a portion.
11:34
Death becomes her. Death becomes her.
11:36
It's kind of like that beauty where you'd they're like, oh,
11:40
the fault of bits and they look a bit lumpy and bumpy and weird
11:43
and you're like, is it worth it? You you kind of can tell that
11:48
the witch of the waist, it has like given in to her vanity like
11:52
she's she's like, she's been like taken over by it.
11:57
But then when she becomes this little sweet old lady again, she
12:00
becomes this very insightful, very observant character who is
12:05
more sympathetic. She still acts selfishly
12:07
sometimes, but it's without the malice of before.
12:11
There's an innocence to it in a way, so I would say not good or
12:15
bad, complicated. So do you know how I kinda saw
12:19
it right? Which of the ways So she had her
12:21
powers removed for her, which means she kinda she kinda lost a
12:27
cockiness with it. And so she just turned into a a
12:30
normal woman who's meant to be her age is in like she doesn't
12:34
have anything making her younger or more powerful or anything
12:37
like that. And she her main goal, it seems
12:42
like, is to get Howl's hot. So Calcifer has Howl's hot
12:48
because he's he's a shooting star.
12:52
That was it was meant to fizzle out, but Howl felt sorry for
12:56
him. So he's like, Oh yeah, may take
12:57
me hot. And the formed kind of like a
13:00
contractor bond where to say he gets Calcifer's powers kind of
13:04
and Calcifer gets to live and and I think you see glimpses of
13:10
her. It's kind of like Bilbo in the
13:12
ring where she gets like, I want that.
13:17
She remembers the like the the urge to to get it and then she
13:21
goes mad a little bit, but then she.
13:23
Kind of, yeah. There's also like a kind of,
13:29
there's like a subtle implication that like that
13:32
because they because they also talk about like watch out for
13:35
Hal at the beginning, like Sophie's sister is like watch
13:38
out for Hal because he'll steal your heart.
13:41
And this idea, but it's more as like a Lothario character.
13:44
And when he's introduced, he's incredibly like this kind of
13:46
very flamboyant, like almost dandyish flirt character.
13:54
So there's also like this kind of element of, like, her having
13:57
had like, an unrequited love with Hal.
14:01
So there's like a kind of power thing, but maybe like there's
14:03
also like a kind of like, yeah, that kind of like twisted sense
14:08
of ownership that you feel over someone who doesn't return your
14:11
feelings. Yeah, well, he did.
14:14
He did mention in the film where he was just like, Oh yeah, we
14:17
did have a thing a long time ago.
14:20
But then I realised what she truly was.
14:22
They dumped her. Yeah, exactly.
14:26
And also like, how does, how old does that make?
14:28
How and how old? Because in this Sophie it's very
14:33
good. Like the age thing maybe is
14:35
irrelevant because it's a whole film that isn't isn't about age
14:41
but. Age of consent is is implied.
14:47
That's what I'm thinking. He must be a full grown man.
14:52
Maybe Magic? He's a he's a magic 3000 year
14:57
old demon that looks like a 17 year old boy.
15:00
I don't know. Yeah, I do.
15:02
But I do love the way that they play with age in this, because
15:05
Sophie's curse comes and goes based on her state of mind and
15:09
how focused she is on herself and her own troubles versus how
15:14
focused she is on other people. And there's something kind of
15:20
lovely about the way that they play with because they do.
15:23
Because we've got two different voices as well who voiced
15:25
Sophie. There's Emily Mortimer, who does
15:28
the young Sophie and then Gene Simmons, who does the old
15:31
Sophie. Not like the one from Kiss and
15:35
the Gene, the Gene Simmons from Anthony and Cleopatra.
15:40
See, I don't know that I don't know are from anything else so.
15:45
That's fair, but she's so so they kind of play around with
15:50
like how the voice merges in and out, which I love, but they also
15:54
play around with how they animate her because they go like
15:57
they sometimes they make her like they've really old bent
15:59
over. Sometimes she's like kind of in
16:01
the middle, like upright, but like aged face.
16:06
Sometimes she's very young. It's interesting.
16:09
I thought it was. I think it's a really fun a fun
16:12
part of the film. Also these are.
16:14
Amazing not as good as me gummy known as I think they are.
16:23
Well, I didn't I didn't have more.
16:25
I didn't have more snacks, but I thought I'm not going to.
16:27
I'm not just going to eat all me snacks in.
16:30
One you did. You wasted your best snack
16:33
before we started. Maybe.
16:36
Well, while I was quickly Googling facts about how was
16:39
Boom and Castle, but yeah, sure it's not just like appearance as
16:45
well, because even when when she gets starts getting when she's
16:51
going up to the castle stairs to meet the king, is it of 1 land?
16:57
So she's she's got to go there carrying a dog, which is a
17:01
little fat lump and she gets this energy out of nowhere.
17:05
Yeah, it was just below the M there, the little weird dog who
17:11
apparently in the books was a man cursed to be a dog, but
17:14
doesn't really mention it in the film.
17:16
But besides. But you do get the same.
17:19
Energy, but he has an intelligence though, but that's
17:22
about it. But from his eyes I got the
17:25
impression that he was sick of everything.
17:28
Like I'm just sick of this shit did.
17:32
You find that relatable? Chris Yeah, pretty much.
17:40
Definitely. Chad Youth, youth in different
17:44
ways, like whether it be energy or like resolve.
17:48
So it is. It is interesting how the play
17:51
with age, but you've actually you've seen this film before.
17:55
As I've said before that I haven't.
17:57
How did you find looking at it now with 2025 eyes and has the
18:02
opinion changed from your first watch?
18:06
So I still love it as a film, Right.
18:09
My opinion on the characters has definitely changed as I've
18:13
gotten older. Back in my day when I was young.
18:19
So I can remember watching this as a teenager and being like,
18:21
oh, how swoon worthy kind of anime characters.
18:24
And now when I watch it, I'm like, someone needs to sort that
18:28
man baby out. Yeah, but he needs to like, he
18:32
just needs to get over himself and like take some
18:36
responsibility and he becomes much likeable when much more
18:39
likeable when he does. But like the undertones of I can
18:43
change him, I was like well less into as an adult.
18:48
It is kind of. Oh, sorry, I was I.
18:52
Was just. Saying.
18:55
No, you go. Sorry.
18:56
Yeah, saying justice, Justice for Turnip Head, who I feel like
19:01
is the unsung hero and really the one that you would want to
19:05
end up with. He is a Prince as well.
19:08
He's yeah, And he's kind, yeah. And he doesn't have to be.
19:14
He doesn't have to be, but he is.
19:17
So sorry, you were saying? I'm just saying even when you
19:20
walk because basically the castle, which is this this big
19:24
moving thing behind me is, I would say it's howls like he's
19:30
hot made it so it's a it's a like a look into his personality
19:36
and his like inciting us. And basically it's like the flat
19:41
out the young ones. It's a shit tip.
19:43
There's food everywhere. There's no clean dishes.
19:46
Everything's falling apart and dilapidated until old Sophie
19:50
over there comes in and cleans it and starts sorting it out.
19:57
And who needs a I'm just going to say, who needs a man who
20:01
wants you to be their mother? Yeah, Yeah.
20:04
Because that basically is what it takes to get how acting
20:08
right. Yeah, I mean to.
20:10
The to the point where at one point she actually does pretend
20:13
to be his mother. Like there's a bit of a mother
20:16
thing happening in this film. Yeah.
20:19
And mums are great, but you know.
20:22
Yeah, woman. You don't neck on with them
20:25
though, but unless you're Paul. Or like a dad.
20:30
Yeah. Well, yeah, anyway, on that
20:37
note. Yeah, I I was going to lead on
20:39
from something there, but the the neck and all my mom's
20:42
distracted us as. It is want to do.
20:50
Yeah. So yeah, so we look at that
20:56
through 2025 eyes. You think how old's a man baby
20:59
now? And did you get more from the
21:02
the main message about being old in the self-confidence and or
21:08
did you get that when you first watched it?
21:11
I think I got that when I first watched it.
21:13
There's like, it's, it's interesting, isn't it?
21:18
Because there's, there's something in it.
21:22
So the, the thing that I think the subtlety that I didn't
21:24
appreciate as as a, as a young person who like, and I would
21:29
proudly say I'm a fairly vain person.
21:32
Like I do care about how I look and I care about what people
21:35
think of me. And that's just part of who I
21:37
am. And I'm OK.
21:38
I've come to terms with that. And in this film, it's
21:41
interesting because they don't say it's bad to want to appear a
21:45
certain way. So you've got Sophie, who at one
21:49
point she's like yelling at how? Because she's like, I've never
21:51
felt beautiful in my life. And like, yeah, why?
21:54
You get like, pull your shit together Because he's like,
21:56
going into like a weird gooey funk having ruined his hair.
22:01
And who hasn't had a hair moment?
22:08
All right, rub it in. You've got hair.
22:12
Don't rub it. You'll follow.
22:19
And I also think there is something about that kind of
22:23
like accepting parts of yourself that aren't that great that I
22:26
think is in this. So it's like, on the one hand
22:29
it's like don't care about what you think.
22:31
And on the other hand it also is saying like your inside will
22:35
show through. So I think the thing about
22:37
Sophie appearing young when she's focused on other people is
22:41
that idea that actually not being so focused on yourself is
22:45
really good for you as a person. Like it's good for your mental
22:48
health, it's good for your physical health, like focus on
22:51
others and what you can do for them.
22:54
And it's OK to sometimes like be at war with those two parts of
23:00
yourself. Like that's like a natural thing
23:02
in like life. And I think as a as a teenager,
23:09
I was probably like old, bad, young, good.
23:11
Whereas now I'm like, oh, we know we need both.
23:16
Yeah. I'm even at the end when she
23:20
don't even think she breaks the curse because she like she does
23:23
turn young when her and how will do a smoochy smooch and but she
23:29
turns young with silver hair or with with grey hair and it's
23:33
kind of like a kind of mixture of both.
23:35
I don't know if that's because she hasn't lifted the curse, if
23:38
it's a permanent thing, or what. Yeah, but and also, I was going
23:45
to take this into a place not appropriate for this podcast,
23:49
but like, imagine the situations where you accidentally turn
23:51
back. Oh, yeah, If you have a knock in
23:56
self-confidence and you're like, oh.
23:59
Like I'm thinking like you step out of the shower catching like
24:02
a glimpse of your, like, you know, like you when your body's
24:05
all red in like a beached way. Or maybe that's just me.
24:08
I feel like that's the least sexy time when you're like
24:11
vulnerable and you just need to get to your clothes.
24:17
People who strut out of the sack shower, tell me your secrets.
24:19
Put it in the comments below. Houses with no mirrors I think.
24:24
Yeah, yeah, nothing from like here down.
24:33
So yeah, I like that's what I like to imagine is that the
24:35
curse isn't broken. She just learns to live with
24:38
herself better. And then that is what keeps the
24:41
curse at Bay or managed. But every now and again, she'll
24:47
catch, Yeah, she'll have a moment of vulnerability where
24:50
she'll be like, oh, and that's just part of life.
24:54
Even if she wasn't cursed, she'd probably feel that way.
24:56
So. True, true.
24:59
It's just, it just shows it on the outside.
25:02
Yeah. And with them, there's a part in
25:06
this where how he has a right pet lip on, right.
25:10
And he's just like he I think he comes back into the into his
25:14
home and he's like nearly turned into a Birdman.
25:18
And she's just saying, is there anything I can do to help?
25:20
And he kinds of turns to her and says, how can Someone Like You
25:25
help me when you can't even get over your own curse?
25:28
And she's not mentioned anything about it to him.
25:31
So do you think Howell? Can see knows all the time.
25:35
I think he knows all the time, but do you think he can see
25:38
Sophie as a young Sophie as opposed to old Sophie?
25:46
That's what I was wondering because he can see he.
25:49
Knows. He knows turnip heads being
25:51
cursed, and he knows the wicked witch the waist is.
25:57
He knows what she looks like. So I think he can, he can like
26:05
see slash sense when magic is present.
26:07
So because when they first meet, he's like, what's in your
26:09
pocket, Sophie? And it turns out it's like
26:11
another curse that's like snuck in from the witch.
26:18
So I think he can tell that magic is at play.
26:22
I don't know if he can necessarily see the truth of it.
26:25
But then maybe there is something about, so there's
26:27
something about Calcifer's magic where I, I actually think
26:32
Calcifer, if anyone can see what people really are, it's Calcifer
26:39
because because he's got this like I like seeing, seeing the
26:42
heart of someone and like his magic is based on taking pieces
26:47
of people that are valuable. So you think I yeah, I think I,
26:54
I would say it's more him. And if how has the ability, it's
26:58
because of his deal with Calcifer.
26:59
That would be my like, right. I don't think, I don't think the
27:03
film says it one way or the other.
27:05
I think they leave it to you to guess.
27:06
And that's my preferred head cannon for it.
27:11
Yeah, Art, I'm not saying you're wrong and I'm right, but I, I
27:15
saw it as Calcifer with him being part of Howl's, having
27:22
part of Howl's hard keeping him alive.
27:25
And he kind of respects his judgement.
27:28
And if he sees someone, he can kind of read them.
27:34
So that's why he's like why Howell goes to Kalsava at one
27:38
point where the whole gangs here, there's Turd of Pads, the
27:42
dog, Wicked Witch of the Waste and someone else, Markel, who it
27:49
was. I mean, he's, I forget Markel.
27:52
I think the film did. But yeah, all of them.
27:57
He's like, why did you let these in?
27:59
And he was just like, I don't know, they just crashed in.
28:02
And then he starts laughing. He was like, yeah, because he
28:05
can't eject people because then shadow people try to come in and
28:09
he just ejected them straight away through the door.
28:12
So you obviously say something. Yeah, I but again, I think it's
28:17
the I don't think Kausper's magic would let someone in who
28:21
did genuinely mean how harm. Right.
28:26
True. Because I think that's why Kausa
28:29
is in the hearth of the home, because that's the, I mean it
28:33
like literally heart. It has the word heart in it.
28:38
Do you know what I mean? Yeah, Yeah, that's true.
28:43
Yeah, I think it's interesting. I I hate that you feel like
28:46
Marco's just a bit part because I love him.
28:49
I think he's so cute, but he's eating all the eggs and stuff.
28:53
Oh, I I don't think like. Sucking down bits of bacon.
28:56
I just, I don't think he's a bad character, I just think if he
29:00
wasn't in the film, I don't think it would have made a
29:02
difference. Yeah, fair.
29:07
That is fair. He is, he is Howl's apprentice
29:13
who was a child, who when he's, when he answers the door,
29:16
because Howl's got like in his house, he's got a little dial
29:20
next to the door which lands on a colour.
29:22
If it lands on red, it'll be in a certain city at a different
29:26
town. And it's all different, like
29:28
places where Howell has like a different standing in the
29:33
community. So in one of them he's like a
29:35
wizard and the other one he's like a portions which where we
29:40
like people go to and like, oh, I've got some athlete's foot,
29:43
can you knock as a proportion kind of thing.
29:45
And he'll like make that up for them.
29:48
I'm like guessing. Fucking problems out of.
29:51
The air and then the one where in the town that Sophie's from,
30:01
Oh my thrushes up and up again. It's.
30:04
Really. But in the town that Sophie's
30:10
from. Sorry.
30:11
Oh, yeah, he's a, he's a womanizer in there.
30:14
He's not really anything. I think that must be his like
30:17
social one but. Anyway, I don't know.
30:21
Yeah, that's his weekend place. But Marco, he just, his job is
30:29
to basically open the door as an old man.
30:32
He has a little cloak. Why he does this.
30:34
And then as he's doing this, a beard comes.
30:37
He's just a little old man. And I don't get his character.
30:41
I think he's cute, but it's just like if you went, yeah,
30:46
everything would still happen. Would still happen, but would it
30:50
be as delightful and charming? I feel like it wouldn't.
30:54
Wouldn't have to cook as many eggs it.
30:58
Wouldn't have as many eggs you wouldn't get to see.
31:00
I also love the bit where Calciferi is consuming the egg
31:03
shell. Listen, he's like yes Billy
31:09
Crystal doing some great mouth sounds.
31:13
You're really leaning into it. Oh, you had some direction for
31:19
that? He took an egg shells in his
31:22
mouth. Billy.
31:24
This is where you're eating egg shells.
31:25
Can you make it sound delicious please?
31:31
Oh, but Speaking of the characters, do you want your
31:34
favorite? Is it my favorite?
31:40
Oh no, it's actually Calcifer. Every time.
31:42
It's Calcifer, and that actually hasn't changed.
31:47
I think Council has always been one of my favorite characters.
31:50
But I do also feel like turnip head is like close second.
31:54
I don't have a tiny turnip head in one of my plant pots.
31:58
I don't think it's near me. I think it's over on the other
32:02
side of the rim. But like a little turnip head
32:03
that just like, sticks into your plant pots.
32:06
That he's just there screaming happiness.
32:09
My world. Yeah, it's cute.
32:12
Surrounded by dead plants. Yeah, probably.
32:16
And it's been hot. They do need desperately need
32:21
some water. Yeah, you meant you meant to
32:24
water them, you know. Yeah, some of them.
32:29
Survival of the fittest, ain't it?
32:32
Only the good. Ones This is why I don't have
32:36
children. But yeah, so how's castle,
32:46
right? Love it.
32:48
If you could have a castle with the door to anywhere, one, where
32:53
would it go? And two, what would it look like
32:56
inside? Because it's like a projection
32:59
of you of like your head headspace.
33:03
Do I get multiple doors? Yeah, you can have as many as
33:06
you want. Love it.
33:08
I'd probably route it to people that I want to hang out with
33:10
more but can't because of distance.
33:13
So I'd have like 1 would obviously be my home because
33:16
it's exhausting having to travel home after like you've been away
33:19
on a trip. So it should be nice to have a
33:20
moving castle that just be like, oh, hi. 2 would be probably to
33:27
like the Midlands where my dad is because that would be nice to
33:32
be able to just walk through a door and just be like, hey, I've
33:34
come for an afternoon tea. And then I think the last one
33:41
like how many do I get 3 for? Many as you want.
33:45
Have that as you want if you want.
33:47
I would have, no, I think I'd have one up north so I could
33:49
come come to the cinema with you guys.
33:52
Hey. I'm so jealous that I can't go
33:55
on a little nerdy up north trip whenever I want.
33:59
I've finally got into the cool club and been invited to the
34:02
pictures. And then I would have one to
34:06
like some sort of beautiful exotic location that's very
34:09
peaceful. Maybe there's some mountains,
34:11
maybe there's a lake, maybe there's like ocean.
34:14
I think mountains, water, a nice breeze but lots of sun, lots of
34:19
lush, beautiful. Greenery.
34:24
I want every bio. I'd find them that magical place
34:27
on Earth where I can get all the bio rooms.
34:30
Maybe it's somewhere like Alaska, but that's going to be
34:33
cold in the water. Maybe I want it to be somewhere
34:35
like Greece, where it's hilly but beautiful warm ocean.
34:41
But imagine a cabin. Like a snowy cabin in the middle
34:45
of the forest, cold outside. You've got a big fire gone.
34:50
Do you know what I fancy? Just some Northern Lights
34:53
tonight. Bing.
34:54
OK, done with this now let's go to the Med.
34:57
I'd I'd put play. They'd have some family stuff
35:01
and friends stuff, some holiday stuff.
35:03
What about you? See, my instant thought was
35:06
right and round here it's not very good for takeaways.
35:12
So I would have one for a Chinese food place, Indian food
35:16
place, ETC. One for one for a sushi dip
35:23
place. Oh, there's no such thing as
35:25
sushi up here. Well, you said that you wanted
35:30
to try sushi. Like like in a nice sushi place
35:32
when you came down, if you came down.
35:35
Yeah, just just go have a door to Japan.
35:41
Yeah, go do that. Sushi place where the sushi's
35:45
from? The same for the Chinese and the
35:47
Indian. You could just have a door to
35:48
China. I know, but like English Chinese
35:52
is better for my taste than Chinese Chinese because they all
35:56
have the proper stuff and we have the the weird key towards
36:01
us. Yeah, yeah.
36:05
Can you get can you get salt and pepper chips there?
36:09
Yeah, Oh my God, I love a salt and pepper squid.
36:11
Also, what's in your standard? What's in your standard Chinese
36:14
order? Because I've got very specific
36:16
things that I always get. Salt and pepper chips and sweet
36:20
and sour chicken balls. What's the doodly things?
36:27
Chow Mein and oh, special Curry. Maybe it's a bit of fried rice.
36:35
I know it's, I know it's just the Mesa and sauce stuff, but
36:37
it's nice. Yeah, that's a good trout.
36:43
Mine is obviously you've got to get prawn crackers with some
36:50
sweet and sour sauce. You get them anyway if you spend
36:53
over a tenner or whatever. Yeah, which?
36:57
Who goes for Chinese and doesn't spend over a tenner?
36:59
Excuse me? They give us a box and it's just
37:01
me and Molly. I'm not a student.
37:08
Sweet and sour prawn balls. Oh great.
37:11
Salt and pepper squid. But like this if they do a spicy
37:14
version. Spicy salt and pepper squid.
37:16
Crispy chili beef, either chow Mein or egg fried rice and a Big
37:25
Spring roll or. The the big, big ones.
37:29
Yeah. And if they do a.
37:31
Decent one the the crispy seaweed which is actually just
37:34
cabbage but. I I forgot my prawn toast as
37:37
well. I love a prawn toast.
37:39
Oh yeah, you've got to have prawn toast do.
37:42
You know what the best thing is? Everyone in the chat, everyone
37:44
in the chat I reckon, is now just hungry because I am.
37:49
Well we normally get prontos and Molly doesn't like it so I just
37:53
eat a full portion of it before I start.
37:55
Me normal Chinese food so. Just on the way home from when
38:00
you've picked it up, Molly doesn't know that that's that's
38:03
your special rice special just for Chris.
38:07
Why is your? Why is your top covered in
38:09
sesame seeds? Sis?
38:11
I don't know. No.
38:14
But what would the inside the home look like though?
38:20
Good question. So I think lots of bookshelves.
38:24
Right. With lots of different stories
38:27
on them. I, I was, I was thinking, we're
38:30
guessing that has books in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mostly.
38:35
Like maybe some trinkets and plants and things and just like
38:43
a lot of like crafty stuff, probably probably a ton of half
38:47
finished craft projects and unfinished sketchbooks.
38:51
Yeah, just loads and loads of them.
38:53
And then just like pens and paints and things everywhere.
38:56
I think it'd be like a kind of very cosy arty studio library
39:02
with a massive big actually do you know, like either a big open
39:07
fire or a wood burner. I love a log burner.
39:12
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. One of them wing back armchairs.
39:16
No giant sofa. I haven't got time for wing back
39:21
armchairs. Give me big sofa.
39:22
I don't want to be upright, I want to be horizontal.
39:28
But one of those sofas where you can nap on it without getting a
39:31
bad back. Like the big ones that are also
39:34
difficult to get out from because they're so comfy and you
39:36
have to like roll onto your side to get out from them.
39:40
That's what this my, that's what my, that's what I think the
39:43
inside of my brain looks like. And I think everything is like
39:46
pastel colours. Right.
39:49
Pastel colours in like greens and like with black accents.
39:56
What about you? I like it.
39:59
Have you ever seen Scrapheap Challenge before?
40:05
Yes, they're bringing it back as well, aren't they?
40:07
Yes, I know. That's what made a pop into the
40:09
head. Yeah, I think it would be like a
40:12
scrap yard from there, but full of shiny turny things,
40:19
mechanisms, levers that you can pull that big stuff spin.
40:23
Might not necessarily do anything, but it'll make stuff
40:25
move. I can imagine walking in and
40:28
just hearing like, like all the like the clicks of machinery
40:32
everywhere, like a very kind of steam punky.
40:36
You're there. You've got big goggles.
40:40
It's like if you ever see all the house from 13 ghosts where
40:46
like. Yeah.
40:48
It just has loads of spinny things, minus the ghost.
40:51
I can leave take them. I'll leave them.
40:53
If I have to have them for the house, that's OK.
40:56
But yeah, I think it would look better.
40:58
Nice. With loads of Chinese rubbers
41:01
house we. Have a ton of Chinese
41:04
everywhere. I'm hungry though.
41:10
Yeah, me too. I was eating my crisps, but
41:13
it's. I'm just worried they're too
41:14
crunchy and loud on the call. But I'm now wishing I'd had
41:18
proper dinner before we started because I just really want a
41:20
Chinese. Yeah, you have to wait.
41:26
Yeah, fine. I know, nice, right?
41:30
Me. Next question.
41:33
So the film is based on a book by Diana Wynne Jones and adapted
41:40
by Gibli. It's.
41:41
Difficult to pronounce. It's Welsh struggle but
41:45
different languages. If you could, if you could pick
41:50
any book to be adapted by Gibli, what book would you pick?
41:57
Yes, you gave me a warning about this.
42:01
Yeah, it's a hard 1, isn't it? Because it is a hard one.
42:03
There are so many good books you could pick.
42:07
I don't know if the people in the chat are listening as well.
42:09
You can put your suggestions if you want a film adapted, sorry,
42:14
a book adapted in which will be filmed.
42:18
For me it would be the so there's a book called fist.
42:23
I'm looking up there because it's on my like I have like some
42:26
sci-fi that I, I access regularly because I, they're
42:29
like beloved sci-fi books that I want to reread and things book
42:34
by a guy called Ian M Banks, who also wrote like the culture
42:38
novels, which are about kind of big intelligent spaceships where
42:45
travelling through space looking for new colonies.
42:48
And like it's about each spaceship has its like own
42:50
unique culture. They're really fascinating.
42:53
But I would probably pick a book that he wrote called Fearsome
42:56
Engine, which is about an like life in a kind of semi
43:01
apocalyptic state where people don't know how the technology
43:05
that's been left behind by former generations works.
43:08
There's it's a little bit like Laputa Castle in the sky kind of
43:11
tones. But there's a character in that
43:17
whose name I can't remember, but they've got an Ant for a friend
43:20
like a talking Ant, which is like nanotechnology called
43:24
Baskool. And I would just love to see
43:28
Baskool. Baskool is an Ant.
43:33
And I would love to see Baskool animated by stereo Ghibli
43:37
because I just think both that character because and the book
43:41
spelled fearsome FERSUM engine ENJIN.
43:47
So it's spelled phonetically, and half of the book is written
43:50
in phonetic English, which is like a mind.
43:55
Like reading a local Facebook page.
43:58
Yeah, a little bit. And it's also one of those books
44:01
where you read it and halfway through reading it, you get you
44:05
like, so you read a chapter in the phonetic language and then
44:08
you get back to normal English and you're like, I've forgotten
44:11
how to read English because I've gotten my brains like switched
44:14
into reading like phonetically. And it's, and I love it for that
44:19
reason. And I think that something like
44:20
that would adapt really interestingly to animation
44:24
because instead of having that be a word thing, you could play
44:27
around with how you animate the world's differently or how you
44:34
animate the perspective of the characters differently.
44:37
And I think, yeah, I think Studio Ghibli would do that in a
44:42
really interesting way. Yeah.
44:44
So that's what I would do. What about you?
44:47
Well, I didn't reach around to to get the book.
44:52
Oh. The Necronomicon only because it
44:59
should be Lovecraft. Yeah, I was just looking before
45:03
Jake suggested Berserk and Northeast nerd the metro books.
45:09
I would I would kind of look like to say that too.
45:11
I've already played the games, but it's like a postal purpose
45:14
world with mutiny things probably for the same reason,
45:19
because I mean, HP Lovecraft has a lot of undescribable horrors
45:24
in it and I kind of want to know how what he would do with that.
45:28
And because he can do like horrible, horrible monsters like
45:34
Princess Monroe, the the bore thing at the start of that and
45:40
the. Boy and the Heron, which is my
45:43
family's laugh going on the list.
45:47
I've never seen it. That that also has some very
45:51
grotesque moments, especially when he's like halfway between
45:54
Heron and man with our Pats. Molly said Matilda like a kids
46:02
book like Matilda would be good. And there is Arietti, which is a
46:06
Studio Ghibli film based on the Borrowers, which is very sweet
46:12
and good. But I agree, I think something
46:14
like Matilda would be amazing in the Studio Ghibli.
46:18
Imagine the soda I would. Really like to see Cthulhu as a.
46:22
Do you know what, Matilda? Could you imagine a Ghibli
46:25
version of Danny DeVito? Well.
46:28
Yeah, quite easily. I think it would be great.
46:34
I think they basically that's what they've based the Herodon
46:37
in Boy in the Herod. The Herod man is kind of Danny
46:41
DeVito. The trash man.
46:50
You've got to. Pay the troll toll.
46:54
They're not saying them ever gone.
46:59
I've never actually read those, so I don't know what that would
47:01
be like. So it'll be a long process,
47:04
very, very long project. But what do you think about
47:08
that? Because after I read them.
47:10
I have I have read the first book and I think it would be
47:15
great. I'd love to see is it Tales from
47:18
Earthsea? They do have some Dragons in it,
47:21
which is like an early Ghibli. I don't think it's a Mayazaki
47:23
Ghibli. I think it's like early Ghibli,
47:26
right? And that has some Dragons in it,
47:31
but they're it's a bit more if I say Yu-gi-oh, blue eyes, white
47:35
dragon vibes. It's a bit more that than it is
47:40
like Aragon kind of world, and I'd like to see Aragon in a
47:46
Ghibli style for sure. Yeah, would be cool.
47:52
There are lots of books that you just want to see anime and Jake
47:56
sent us earlier he sent us Spice Girls anime.
47:59
Yes, I would love to have seen that.
48:02
I would be so into that, yeah, for sure.
48:10
So, yeah, there are all sorts of things that would be so good to
48:12
see, you know, You know, Ghibli world.
48:16
Also, let us say that Ghibli is supposed to be pronounced with a
48:20
hard G like in Italian, but the Japanese call it Giboori, so
48:25
they started it. Yeah.
48:27
I mean, I don't mind about the pronunciations because I'll
48:30
probably sometimes say either or because I'm not bothered if I
48:35
would maybe be, but worried if I would send it to his face.
48:39
But if you was talking to Miyazaki, he would say he would
48:43
say Ghibli like with AJ sound. But it is from an Italian word,
48:49
so it should be Gibli. That is the thing.
48:52
But I think because it because it is, it's one of those words
48:56
that's been passed back and forward across different
48:58
languages. I don't think it matters.
49:00
Some people get really into it in the same way that some people
49:03
get really into like dubs versus Subs.
49:05
I ain't got time for that. I'm just here to enjoy myself.
49:10
Exactly. Like, but you know, I think the
49:15
important thing is if you've looked it up, good for you
49:17
because you obviously care enough about it to want to do it
49:21
right. And I think that's lovely
49:25
because I know that we, when we first did our first poker Rosso,
49:28
which was our first one, Yeah, we had a conversation of like,
49:31
is it Gibley? Is it Gibley?
49:34
Do we? What are we going to say?
49:38
I don't even mind it, but if someone said it wrong to me I
49:40
wouldn't mind either because I'll be like yeah don't know.
49:45
Where do you think? Well, I think it depends.
49:46
It depends where you're coming from as to whether it's right or
49:49
wrong. Isn't it so?
49:52
If it's not coming from me, it's wrong.
49:55
Yeah, my lovely mum is one of those people who who, and I
50:01
think it's pop because she did like spent time as, as a child,
50:04
not like, so she spent like time as a child speaking French and
50:07
can read Dutch and stuff. She's not, not like 100%
50:12
English. So she spent some time abroad as
50:15
a kid and she, she's one of those people who will say Cafe,
50:20
like cafe like it's like it's French or restaurant because
50:26
she's saying it the French, because it's a, it's a French
50:29
word. And I think that's lovely.
50:32
So I do get that, you know, for some people who are clever and
50:36
no more than one language, that's grand.
50:40
I'm not that person. Who?
50:43
Who's she trying to impress? I don't think she is.
50:46
I think that's what's so sweet about it.
50:48
If she was trying to impress someone, it would be weird, but
50:50
she's just doing it the way that she learned to say it.
50:54
Fair. Fair.
50:55
I can't see anything bad about us.
50:58
Not without being a bit Brexiteering.
51:04
Also I love how you went out of focus just then as if, as if
51:09
discord and obs are like do you know what?
51:11
We don't condone this. Oh, I'm back in the room, back
51:16
in the room, back. In the room.
51:23
And so I think we've got a lot of went through a lot of the
51:27
plot and what did you, what did you think about the ending?
51:36
I like it. I always feel it's a little bit
51:38
rushed. It goes from being quite slow
51:41
paced to being like, but, but, but, but also, if it dragged it
51:45
out, it would be so long. And we know that Maya Zaki isn't
51:52
someone who allows for things to be cut out.
51:56
Yeah, as we learned last week. With these With these.
51:59
Swords. Yeah.
52:02
And I like, It's a fairy tale. I want a happily ever after.
52:05
Do you know I want that? And.
52:09
That's nice. I don't know, Like I know my
52:11
Zach, he always says, like, you've got to leave people with
52:14
more questions and answers kind of thing.
52:17
But like, you can tie things up in a nice neat bow every once in
52:20
a while. Just a bit of assurance that
52:27
that they've had a good life. But I think in this they do
52:31
because you see them like flying across the sky in each other's
52:34
arms and that's like you don't get much more happy ending.
52:40
I don't know. You couldn't couldn't show what
52:41
happened to the turnip head. You want to know that Turnip
52:45
head's OK Justice for turnip head.
52:47
I mean justice. For Turnip Head, because I
52:51
remember talking to you during this film and you were like,
52:54
right. And I thought Turniped should
52:58
have been in it more because it's it's very weird.
53:01
I can't buy. That the the myth because
53:04
Turniped is a cursed missing Prince who's been turned in like
53:08
a scarecrow but he helps everyone and he falls in love
53:13
with Sophie. For some reason Sophie just
53:15
gives dishes out kisses to anyone that's around her and she
53:20
kisses this turnip head don't even.
53:22
Get all like, judgey about that. I know, but she she gives kisses
53:27
everyone and I'm like I'm she would have done like a high 5 on
53:32
the chin over full on gives turnip head a lip kiss and then
53:36
he turns back into a Prince. And then the wicked witch of the
53:40
waste is like, Oh, it's because it's like true love, like you're
53:44
meant to be together. And so if he's like, Nah, man,
53:47
I'm with how can you just go away and stop this war?
53:50
She doesn't even do that. She just stops paying attention
53:52
to the conversation because Hal stirs and she's like, oh, he's
53:55
waking up. So it's like, it's not even like
53:57
the dignity to be like, I'm really sorry.
53:59
I'm not into you. It's like I've ceased to
54:03
register that you exist. Who are you again?
54:07
Yeah, sorry, one SEC. I've got more important things
54:10
to do. Yeah, it's brutal.
54:13
We'll turn it. But do you think anyone's story
54:16
could have been expanded or more, or you've seen more of
54:19
people or less? I would love to see a sequel, a
54:23
taniped sequel, which is because he goes back, because he commits
54:28
to going back to his people and trying to stop the war, and I
54:32
would like to see that. I also do feel like it's like
54:35
it's true Love's kiss, but your true Love's in love with someone
54:38
else, so is it true love? Can you have more than one true?
54:41
Yeah, also. Did he get such a rodeo?
54:45
The the Prince, after Turniper gets in at the Prince, he's just
54:49
like, yes, I shall return and have a word with my father to
54:52
end the war. And then he's just like, and
54:54
then I'll come back. Because there's one thing that's
54:57
a constant in this world and it is a fickle, A fickle heart is
55:01
in. She'll get over howl and I'll
55:03
come back and steal her while he's saying this.
55:05
So he's just like she'll realise.
55:07
He's a selfish. What's it she can't change?
55:13
She'll get sick of being his mom.
55:16
She'll get sick of being his mom and doing all his laundry and
55:22
him just flying off to do whatever he's doing and coming
55:25
back as a big bird demon. In his in his little cabin in
55:28
the middle of Wales. With his child heart.
55:34
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
55:37
I did like that and counsellor came back as it because Sophie
55:42
does remove Airport Howl's heart back inside of him.
55:48
And then he's just like I'm away and then he comes back like a
55:52
minute there. He say I kind of like around you
55:54
guys. I'm just going to stay for a bit
55:58
actually. It's all right, yeah.
56:00
In another world, I, Sarah Peach, recognize what I was
56:07
trying to say when I was like, a little.
56:09
What's it? Yeah, yeah.
56:12
Yeah. That is what I was trying to
56:13
say, Sarah. In another world, there's a
56:15
sequel where Calcifer watches everyone grow old for real this
56:19
time, panics because he doesn't want to be alone and extends
56:22
their life past what is OK and becomes, like, a kind of weird
56:27
and it becomes weird and dark and twisted where he's, like,
56:30
keeping their hearts against their wills.
56:33
And in my head, there's like a horror version of this where
56:37
they have to like, yeah, destroy their own hearts for the the
56:41
sweet, blessed relief of death. But at the start they get that
56:45
oh, what's that called where the hostages start the like the
56:47
hostage takers? Stockholm Syndrome.
56:49
It's starting to get stuck off syndrome and then it slowly
56:53
turns. Yeah.
56:58
Yeah, so I think that's it for I was Boom Castle.
57:06
Yeah, great. We love that.
57:09
So what else have we got on on this week?
57:10
I'm so glad you asked, Chris. Yeah.
57:14
I was going to say, I haven't got it.
57:15
You've got like you've got them written down.
57:16
Don't put us in the spotlight. And I have been looking like
57:20
I've suddenly realized that it might look like I'm rolling my
57:22
eyes at you, but I'm not. What I'm actually doing is
57:24
looking up here to where I've got the list.
57:26
The list. I'm that used to people rolling
57:29
the eyes. It is.
57:30
I didn't even notice. Didn't even notice, but I have
57:34
been listening to what you're saying.
57:35
But I've also been frantically checking.
57:36
Have I still got the list? So this week we've got Wonka
57:40
talking. The beautiful women of Wonk,
57:42
Sarah and Becca are going to be talking TTRPGS.
57:44
And you know that's going to be a good episode because how can
57:48
you not have fun when dice are being rolled and worlds of
57:52
imagination and wonder are being exposed?
57:57
And then we're also doing over on we've got Rumble cast.
58:02
Thunderstruck 3 is the next one. There's also been a great
58:05
episode this week, which was on on a Wednesday.
58:07
So go check it out on the Nerdy Up North YouTube just down below
58:10
where they went to see a local wrestling match, which was great
58:14
to hear about. Love that.
58:16
And the biggest footage on TikTok as well.
58:20
And they've got some of the footage on TikTok, so that's
58:22
great fun to go check out Rumble Cast.
58:25
So that's Jake and Sloop. And then we've also got Jake is
58:28
also doing with the beautiful, wonderful Sammy.
58:31
We've got countdown to doomsday Avengers Infinity War to look
58:34
forward to. So we're getting to like into
58:38
kind of final, final battle scene territory, like the big
58:44
the big build up. And then on Monsters, Monsters
58:49
on Monday, we're doing Hush and Sunday Pod.
58:55
It is Sin City, yes, very stylish.
59:01
I've really enjoyed like some of the promo stuff that he's made.
59:04
It's all very stylish, very Sin City.
59:07
So yeah. And then of course, on top
59:08
Grumps, we have. Film No, we've got we've got
59:16
Bubba Tep that's got which was technically Molly's pick where
59:21
Bruce Campbell, who is Elvis and there's a African American JFK
59:28
fight a mummy from a nursing home.
59:32
I haven't seen it yet. Lee has in his game.
59:34
I've seen this well, is it good? I've seen this film.
59:39
Is it is well, I think I've seen this film.
59:41
Is this the film where it's you're not sure if it is
59:43
actually Elvis or if they're like just do Lally in an old
59:46
people's home? Yeah, yeah.
59:48
That's it. I've seen this film and I
59:50
remember it being surprisingly good.
59:54
That's so weird. So we've got a good film on
59:56
Tuesday. Yeah, and not putting you on the
1:00:02
spot or anything, but do you know what we're doing next on
1:00:04
Anime Club? Not really.
1:00:07
We haven't really talked about it this week.
1:00:09
Sometimes we talk about it, sometimes we don't.
1:00:10
We've kind of left it in the air.
1:00:12
I mean, I'm tempted to make you to carry on on this, like to
1:00:15
ride this Studio Ghibli train all the way into into the boy
1:00:21
and the Heron. It's weird.
1:00:23
I don't know. If you like it.
1:00:26
It is weird. It is weird.
1:00:28
It's very it's, it's philosophical, but weird, I
1:00:35
would say. Right.
1:00:38
Like, more so than his other films that he's done.
1:00:41
Well, have you not got a list eenie meenie miney Moet do?
1:00:46
You want an eenie meenie miney moment?

1:00:53
Smaller #7 Pick a number. Number 70, no, we've done #7.
1:01:02
Also, while you're looking at that list, I have no idea how
1:01:06
these rankings in the chats work.
1:01:07
I don't know how people are #1 two or three.
1:01:10
I've got no control over it. Pick a number between 11 and 81.
1:01:19
34. 34 Oh ru ruini Kenshin. Let's do it.
1:01:28
Let's do that. I think that's historical anime
1:01:31
about samurai. It anime about samurai.
1:01:37
It's going to be a bit different, but yeah.
1:01:42
No one's ever seen that. Yeah, that's what we'll do.
1:01:46
Rooney, Kenshin. You'll have to send us that
1:01:49
because I don't know how to spell it or anything.
1:01:51
Yeah. And I'm not sure that I'm saying
1:01:53
it right. I probably am not.
1:01:58
As we've established in the chat today, we need learners back.
1:02:02
He's clever, he knows languages. Help help a sister out.
