Show Notes

"Try laughing, then whatever scares you will go away."

Few films capture the magic of girlhood quite like MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO, one of the few films that actually prioritizes the perspective of children rather than an "all-ages" affair. This week, The Wives Colangelo are recontextualizing their feelings about Hayao Miyazaki's classic fantasy tale, and celebrating his objective masterpiece exploring imagination, nature, age-appropriate anxiety, and adorable forest spirits.
