NOP Presents Hayao Miyazaki

On this episode of NOP, we discuss Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.  My experts all things Ghibli are Thom Brown, Joel Thompson, and Gavin Donnellan.  My pseudo outcasts for this episode are myself and friend Peter Foos.  We discuss the history of Studio Ghibli and spend a good deal of time dissecting the films and Miyazaki's storytelling techniques.  Which film is his best?  Is he the Walt Disney of Japan?  And what is the Studio Ghibli museum like in Japan?  We discuss all this and more on this in-depth episode (also, we think the Makurokurosuke are really cute...)
