Hello fellow ILFDYLFers!

This episode we’re stepping into the forest with Princess Mononoke (1997) — a powerful, complicated Studio Ghibli epic about nature, progress, rage, and learning to see without hatred.

We chat about the breathtaking animation, the moral greyness of every character and the genius of Miyazaki. As always, we put the film through our Seven Magnificent Questions.

Let us know your answers to the Seven Magnificent Questions in the comments below.

Stay tuned to the end to hear what we’ll be tackling next episode 👀

With all that said … I like film, do you like film?

Hello fellow ILFDYLFers 🎄

This week on the podcast we’re getting festive with The Holdovers — a quietly brilliant Christmas film from 2023 about finding comfort when you least expect it.

We chat about the cosy 70’s aesthetic, the hidden metaphors and whether this could become an all time classic. As always, we put the film through our✨Seven Magnificent Questions ✨

In the spirit of Christmas, we also decided to open our presents to each other on the pod - warning there’s a fair bit of paper rustling 🎁😬

Let us know your answers to the Seven Magnificent Questions in the comments below, and tell us:

Is The Holdovers joining your Christmas rotation?🎄

Stick around until the end to find out which film we choose for the next episode
