Fitting swan song or disappointing biopic? Join us as we discuss Hayao Miyazaki's final movie to date, 2013's The Wind Rises, a film which eschews a fantastical setting but retains Miyazaki's love of flight and examines his own drivers of obsession and perfection.

Chirpy high school romcom or a post-war mystery with themes of incest. Por que no los dos? On this episode we discuss Goro Miyazaki's confused 2011 period pic From Up On Poppy Hill.
-
Can a movie succeed purely on clever design choices and strong animation? That's what drives our conversation about Arrietty, Hiromasa Yonebayashi's debut 2010 film. Tune in to see whether we find this version of Mary Norton's 'The Borrowers' tasteful or boring.

Every Takahata film is different from the next, but this film with its comic strip visuals and vignette storytelling is in a world of its own. Tune in for a divided reaction to the 1999 comedy.

This 72-minute TV-movie curio doesn't get discussed often within the Studio Ghibli canon. In this episode we talk about why that might be while comparing it to Ghibli's own 'Only Yesterday' as well as 'It Chapter 2' and 'Ladybird'.

On this episode of Ghibli Jabber we discuss Hayao Miyazaki's 1992 throwback action adventure film Porco Rosso and attempt to answer the age-old question of 'Why is he a pig?'. No seriously, why?
