Creator of the "eventually, forever" newsletter and film twitter heavy Adam Sullivan joins us to discuss the brilliant Hayao Miyazaki and his 1992 film 'Porco Rosso'. Initially conceived as a short film exclusively for in-flight guests of Japan Airlines, the film eventually grew in ambition and scope and now stands as one of Miyazaki's most underrated, visually transcendent masterpieces. 

We discuss the film's many classic Hollywood touchpoints, including the films of Howard Hawks, Victor Fleming, and John Ford and how these influences create a sense of fantasy more grounded that other Miyazaki works. Then, we discuss the film's setting amidst the rising tide of fascism in the Adriatic and its connection to the moving character portrait at its core. Finally, we discuss how 'Porco Rosso' (perhaps more than any other film) suggests some of the director's late period affinities in works like 'The Wind Rises'.

Plus: We talk Miyazaki's latest work 'The Boy & The Heron', which we have all had the chance to see ahead of its wide release in the US Friday, 12/8/23.

We'll be honest: we 100% expected the United States to be in complete flames post-Inauguration (reality: it was super boring), so in anticipation of massive bloodshed, Aya and Kevin decided to spend their final moments alive pounding beers and watching ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL. And why not dude, it's a Power Hour, too, sure, welcome to the BATTLE ANGEL POWER HOUR.

Aya and Kevin get plowed to smithereens by the secretly perfect 2019 cult classic, exploring the coziness & perversions of anime, Rosa Salazar's incredible earnestness, and the surprising similarities to Bong Joon-ho's PARASITE.

ALITA HIVE RISE UP !!!
