Porco Rosso

from The Black and White Cinema Podcast with Kev 'n' Ugie · host Kev 'n' Ugie

With Ugie still fighting his way back from Hades, we welcome Maseo in front of the camera to join Kev in talking about a true anime classic: Porco Rosso.We don't think it's a particularly hot take to say that Porco Rosso represents the pinnacle of Japanese animation. It's beautiful, intentional, detailed, relatable, uplifting, and has lessons embedded in its thesis that are as apt today as they were in the 1930s or 1990s. Put simply, it's a perfect film and you'll love it whether its your first experience with anime or you're a JoJo-obsessed weeb with agoraphobia.Join us as we dive into the themes, symbolism, and acts of Hayao Miyazaki's breathtaking meditation on war, guilt, isolation, community, and a good ol' seaplane.🎙️ The Black and White Cinema Podcast with Kev 'n' Ugie📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kev_n_ugie🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-black-and-white-cinema-podcast-with-kev-n-ugie/id1874324373🎧 Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9d1ba56a-bfe8-45c8-aad8-47a28a3f3829/the-black-and-white-cinema-podcast-with-kev-'n'-ugie🌐 allmylinks: https://allmylinks.com/kev-n-ugie#PorcoRosso #StudioGhibli #HayaoMiyazaki #Podcast #AnimatedFilm
