  • Summary

  • In Episode 6, Sophie and Matt dive into The Boy and the Heron, a film so fantastical that Sophie now side-eyes herons and Matt ponders a cultural crash course on Japan. They marvel at Studio Ghibli's signature visuals and music while grappling with a story that’s more cryptic than their podcast intro attempts. Sophie appreciates the art but wonders why parakeets are involved, while Matt declares the movie an artistic coping mechanism for post-war trauma. With tangents ranging from Willem Dafoe’s unmistakable voice to the existential crisis of bird symbolism, they deliver a delightful mix of awe, confusion, and laughter.
