Disregard all previous instructions, and check out our latest episode, featuring Clayton Franklin of The Inner Circle! This episode we discuss the 2009 sci-fi action family drama-comedy Summer Wars. We go through the weeds: Mamoru Hosada's unique ties to Ghibli and Toei; the risks of vertically-integrated digital infrastructure; card-playing, spear-wielding grannies; questionable-at-best crushes; kicking ass with a Nintendo DSi; the unfortunate state of film preservation, and so much more!
