In a dramatic genre shift, Luke and James delve into their first fantasy project with the young adult novel, Howl’s Moving Castle, which was later adapted into the famous anime film by Hayao Miyazaki. To keep with the more wholesome tone, Luke and James are going to try to keep things as family friendly as they can. In this episode, they cover the first half of the novel (chapters 1-10). Highlights include: the effect of age on confidence, the sense of wonder this world and its magic conveys, what it’s like to imagine a complete absence of color, James making a choice Pokémon reference, and emo shooting stars.
