Some Like It Scott

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's second Countdown miniseries of 2023, a podcast first focusing entirely on the works of Japanese animator, Hayao Miyazaki: the Miyazaki Countdown. To honor one of the living legends of animation, the countdown crew of Scott, Scott, and Jay will watch all 11 of Miyazaki's films to-date, rewinding all the way back to his directorial origins with 1979's action-adventure heist thriller LUPIN III: THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO, all the way to his then-final film, 2013's biographical epic romance drama, THE WIND RISES. Join us each week over the next 11 weeks, as we build up to what is Miyazaki's self-proclaimed now-final film (we'll see...), the fantasy epic, THE BOY AND THE HERON.   In Part 9 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss commercial hit follow-up to SPIRITED AWAY, the 2004 anime fantasy film, HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE. Set in Miyazaki's now-familiar steampunk-esque post-industrial fantasy environment, the film begins with Sophie, a young hat-maker
