What's that gliding into your podcast feeds? It's a new episode of Cinema To The Letter! Join Thomas and Bryan as they discuss the M for Masterpiece choice for their animation season: Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind! Together, our duo will answer the crucial questions. Why is this such an underrated work in the Hayao Miyazaki canon? Can the great anime debate of subs or dubs finally be settled? Who will promise an airship in every home if elected? Well, listen in while riding on top of that Ohm bug to find out!
