Ep. 257 - The Boy and the Heron (feat. Jay Habib)

Hello and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! On this week's episode, the two Scotts are joined by Countdown co-host Jay Habib to crown the end of the Miyazaki Countdown series with Hayao Miyazaki's (second? third?) final film in his storied career, the animated fantasy adventure drama, THE BOY AND THE HERON. After a rich discussion of the recurring and new themes emerging in the twilight of Miyazaki's career, the central character of Mahito and how he's crucially different than so many Miyazaki protagonists that we've seen before, and the continued technical achievements of Studio Ghibli's animation under Miyazaki, the two Scotts slip a quick discussion of the LA Film Critics Association Awards.
