Spirited Away

Today we cross the threshold into a buffet of magic in Spirited Away. We discuss the elements that make Studio Ghibli movies feel grander than just a film, the weaving of magic onto of our everday realities, and our favorite characters in the bath house of madness. This is a moving tale, but don't be fooled, it's definitely a Messed Up Movie.  Synopsis: During her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts. Starring: Rumi Hiiragi, Miyu Irino, Mari Natsuki Directed by Hayao Miyazaki Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod Watch our newest short film Sugar Tits Now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz7leFqqo4g
