Part 3 of Movies of the End of the World comes with a special guest, Maya Beck, who selected Hayao Miyazaki's post-apocalyptic Japanese classic of the push for peace in the midst of war, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.  Maya was built in San Diego, CA and her creator-dad told her that she would become a real girl when she made 100 friends.
