In this episode, Captain Kaye and The Animation Guru are joined by Tommy Hughes to discuss the latest film from acclaimed filmmaker Makoto Shinkai, Suzume!

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, and we have a pretty special episode to share discussing a pretty special film! Writer and director Makoto Shinkai returns to the big screen with the third film of what I’ve referred to as his “Disaster Trilogy” titled Suzume. You know what they say, “there’s a first time for everything.” Not only is this the first time Cameron and I have welcomed my Marquee co-host Tommy onto an Animation podcast, but this also happened to be his first anime feature film. Tune into the podcast if you want to hear the full discussion!

That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us, and stay tuned for what’s on the horizon!
